Ben is a multi millionaire .
Why would take a pay cut and have LESS influence .
I don’t think he has any actual public service aspirations

That’s pretty sad dog, check out some more people if this is peak intelligence. Not coming for him personally but I know for a fact there’s smarter

I didn't say Shapiro was the smartest man ever, I said he was the smartest man I know.
If you want to take me at my word, I suppose that William F. Buckley was more astute, but Mr. Buckley is gone. I would ask you who Is smarter, but I'm not interested in turning this into a pissing contest.

That's just sad.
The only smart thing ben ever did was to realize it's easy to fool people who are even dumber when you have zero scruples.

That's sad when you lack sctuples enough to dismiss total strangers on a message board.

Ben needs to focus on operating at his paygrade. Ben is an entertainer/"journalist"--that's it.

He can’t keep his faith separate from his politics. Also he’s not the best at debating people who are at his level. He really only does well when he punches down.

No one can. This argument gets human nature all wrong. Do you think athiests, secular humanists, pluralists, socialists, wokists or people of any other belief system check it at the door? Of course not we all take our beliefs and values with us and they colour how we see the world and every decision we make. I'd prefer a Christian or Jew operating according to his or her faith than any other.

This is terrible and dangerous logic.
The entire foundation of our country—embodied in the Bill of Rights by our forward thinking framers—is entirely about prioritizing individual freedoms and democracy over any single belief system. The idea that leaders should govern according to a specific religious or ideological dogma undermines the very principle that makes our society uniquely free.
We should be excited about defending these principles, not treating them as obstacles to some authoritarian fantasy.
These are the values worth fighting for.

But everyone has beliefs they bring to bear when making decisions. Many people basically say it's ok for some belief or value systems to come into play but not others.

u/devonjosephjoseph 24d ago
Yes AND
I believe that democracy and individual rights (balanced with “do-unto-others”) should trump any other personal beliefs.
I think Levertech is suggesting that that Ben Shapiro doesn’t uphold this critical American value.

Show me where there is any law, founding document, or principle that says you have to separate your religion from your politics to serve in government.
Show me where any of the founding fathers even said that.
I can show you a shit ton of references to "God" "the Creator" and faith in all of those categories.

What? Are you new? The entire idea behind America’s founding was to guard its people against the oppression of dogma and plutocracy.
Jefferson’s “wall of separation” and Madison’s warnings about entangling religion with government were deliberate moves to ensure no ideology or religion could infect or erode the freedoms America was created to protect.
The First Amendment exists to guarantee freedom from government-imposed religion because individual liberty is the core of everything the Founders fought for.
…but yeah, maybe Jefferson and Madison were just RINOs 🤣

False. Do some research. I don't have time right now but I can take you to school later. If I don't, remind me. I'll show you how you're wrong.

He should use his influence to help up Hovde from a 3AM ballot drop before he did that...

He is having much more impact on the air, than as 1 of 100 senators
