It does make a difference. And the term you are using is inadequate. You may use “pro-fetus-life for others who are opting for termination of pregnancy” if you want. I’m being flexible here.
What on Earth is going on in this country? Republicans aren’t Republicans anymore. The party of Lincoln is now a xenophobic, religious nutter wasteland of thugs and idiots. And I used to vote for this party! Sorry Mom, you were right about GWB!
The Democrats aren’t much better either, but at least they don’t seem to be “as evil” as the current GOP, although they are all corporate money whores, which IMO is the real root of many of our ills in the rotten system. Money, corporations treated as people and given free passes for any manner of malfeasance due to political sway, all of it. It’s all slimy, shitty, disgusting and not at all of how people should be governed.
To quote Bill Maher from the late 1990’s, “…when I vote for a Republican, I want two things: a prick and a square…a father figure to keep Mommy the Democrat from spending all the money.”
That view no longer holds true. I do believe there are fiscally conservative Republicans out there that are honest, normal people that actually live in a world of fact and science, but they are now in the minority, apparently.
Ultimately what I do not understand and that I wish I could change is this: obstructionism. Reps and Senators from both sides often have or had great ideas that may have benefited the American populace, but…“Hey, you have an ® by your name, or a (D), so I can’t vote for that!”
Where’s our modern Henry Clay? Where’s the polite but firm discourse? For fuck’s sake, we might as well have Presidential debates now where they curse at each other, it’s only a step away. But think of the children! Especially the white ones!
The facts do, not me. I am simply the messenger. You have beef with what things actually mean and what’s valid and invalid - take it up with the arbiter of reality. He/she/it/they may or may not exist, and no other human has cracked that chestnut so far, so good luck to you. I’m less concerned with the arbiter and more concerned with the reality itself, thanks.
It’s directed at me. Righties seem to love trying to ram the slippery slope fallacy in places with no room for it.
Clowns like you are partly to blame for political violence. If you can’t condemn it when it comes from your side you have no room to whine when others act in a similar fashion.
I really wonder why out of all the Trump people Bricker had to go for DeVos. Besides the usual ideology that they all seem to have of wanting in the past to dismantle or destroy the office they are heading now, DeVos big business ideas from her Neurocore outfit sound like Scientology Jr.
True on both counts. Another poster called the conduct unconstitutional. And yet another calls for “pro-life,” to mean having a position on health care.
Gosh, Bricker, the academic career you could have had as a literary critic of the deconstructionist and semiotic type! Proving, conclusively, that what the writer thought he was saying was really not at all what he was saying!
Like Dr Suess was advancing an existential socialism, more akin to Sartre than Camus…
But instead, you went to law school. Missed it by that much…
Bless your heart. Here I am, some silly goose thinking that words have actual meaning. Pack it up, folks, looks like we wasted a few tens of thousands of years developing this “language” thing.
Except he’s right. “African-American” is usually a more restrictive term than the literal constituents of the word, often specifically restricted to descendants of African slaves.
Yeah, well, despite that, if my white friend from Cape Town decides to move to and establish himself in the U.S., he’ll be just as much an “African-American” as I am.
