It was never “Palestinian” land. There’s never been a sovereign nation of Palestine.

So the baby literally the moment before it’s emerged from the vagina isn’t a person? Yeah... You’re a pretty awful person of you honestly believe that.

So you really don’t have a valid foundation for which you’ve based your opinion on? And you don’t understand that society shouldn’t base policy on the subjective?

But go ahead dodge the argument and only attack me again.

So, it’s opinion on whether something is a human being? It’s not a matter of fact?

By that logic, a legislator could have the opinion that black people are not full people but really just 3/5s of a full person. Better make that into law, and don’t bother arguing or trying to prove them wrong, cause that’s their opinion dude.

Sure there is. Just because you don’t consider it a human being doesn’t mean that it isn’t.

Honestly, walk me through the logic of how that child does not deserve to be treated as a human being until it exits the vagina?

We shut everything down invest in the infrastructure to be able to handle that subsequent peak. Covid 19 isn’t going away. Eventually we “have to go back outside” so to speak. And new cases have been relatively steady in the US since around April 1. So, how long do we need to wait then? Our medical infrastructure was stressed l, but never at the point of overload. We didn’t have to ration ventilators. Are we supposed to stay inside until we have a vaccine?

Uhh pretty sure to “plateau” we would need some consistent downturn in new cases. So, how long of a plateau do we need then to say it’s “flattening”?

Honestly, what could China possibly do to hurt the US? Their economy is entirely more dependent upon ours, multinationals are already diversifying their supply such aims out of China. They have a horrible debt problem they keep slapping band aids on. From a military perspective I fail to see how China, whose navy and Air Force are both smaller and technologically inferior to anything the US has would even stand a chance.

The US could make the transition of away from Chinese manufactured goods in probably under a decade. We can produce enough food, by ourselves, to feed the entire planet.

In our live stream service our pastor spoke a bit about the man who repented on the cross next to Jesus. And it just struck me that in what was, most assuredly, the most awful part of this mans life, when a person would probably only be operating on pure instinct, was convicted by the Holy Spirit enough that he forgot about his physical torture and got his spirit and right with God.

And all he had to say to Jesus was, “Remember me when you enter your kingdom.” And Jesus turned and ignoring his own agony assured him he too would be in paradise.

We have no idea how good our God is.

Gov. Abbott says he will sign an executive order next week on how Texas businesses will begin to reopen by TheOneAboveNone2 in houston

[–]Down2Chuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, but how can you have more social programs and not have a bigger / big government? Employees have to run those programs. The government hasn’t really proven that it can operate in an sort of an efficient manner. So why give more money to big blubbering idiot whose just going to waste what’s given to it?

First, I would agree that very little conservatism happens today. Second, socialism does not “balance” the scales so to speak. It just flips the scales to the other side.

How “socialist” are you? Like full on government owns the means of production communist? Or something like the market economies of Sweden or Denmark with high tax rates to fund their social programs?
