In 'The Art of Being and Becoming' (one of my favorite books years ago), Hazrat Inayat Khan teaches that the greatest art in life is the art of personality — a refinement of our innate individuality into a conscious, purposeful way of being.

Why don't you love Dolly's artful life of love?

Walker doubles down on the wilful ignorance. It’s all he has left.

Why do you think Dolly Parton was so loved?

Walker's Answer:
Because she channeled God … and didn’t speak of politics.

I would say you are right that she was loved because she didn't speak of politics. Whether she believed Trump's behavior is acceptable as a President, we don't know. If we love her because we don't know that she secretly admired Trump as President, then our "love" would be built on deception. Whether she "channeled God" or not seems to be your assumption, not an established fact. Am I right?

“Some foreigners, and other irrelevant people, complain that Americans don’t care about their tiny, unimportant countries. And of course, that’s true, and for obvious reasons.”

No, you're wrong.

That she channeled God is an observation of the effect of her presence in relationship, not an assumption.

She was also quite religious. Christian religion ... not just some vague feelings about spirituality, or theism in general.

Dolly had a big one.

They're playing her stories.

She said that when she was a child there was a pretty woman in town who always dressed up, had big hair and bright red lips. Dolly asked her mamma who that woman was, and her mamma said, she's a tramp.

Dolly said that she said to herself, when I grow up I want to look like that. I want to be a tramp too.

Obviously it's funny because in her childhood innocence, all she saw was the spectacular with her judgment.

Yes, doubling down upon wilful [sic] ignorance is easy when the topic is the Left.

Willful ignorance is certainly of the Left, and there are reasons for that.

Knowing the reasons for that ignorance of the Left gives us understanding of the Left and why the Left is demonstrably so easily manipulated by communists. This generates compassion, enough to offer corrections to those afflicted with the TDS syndrome. Of course since they are declined, they become a highlight.

Ignorance of the Left and its effects is a principle that repeats through history, and is now demonstrated by the Democrat Party that Hates America, with its embracing of communism ... although they don't say the word very much.


However, none of that was about Dolly.
It was simply a clarification of the word "on," with the word "upon."

Such is the effect of up.

Doubled and redoubled! How far is he prepared to go in his self-defeating self-deception?
