Irrrelevant. Neither case refers to the allegation posted by AC. And in any case, it is highly unlikely imo that the US would establish abortion clinics to aid and abet honor killings. Again, I want to see confirmation that the US is doing this.
I think we might agree more than I first thought. I don't think Mr. Robinson expects bowing to his particular viewpoints on particular issues, but he has set the boundary markers rather clearly over the years. To my mind it is important to honor those markers. That is my point.
You're very right. Thanks!
And if everyone on this site agreed, we wouldn't have these hilarious Rudywars threads!! I haven't seen likeminded people hash it out like this since my Baptist church took a vote to change the carpeting!
I'm running out of my popcorn stockpile.
We can differ on opinion, that's fine, but I'd like to see some factual evidence.
> Checking now on the Planned Parenthood funding in Afghanistan.....
"The Bush administration has withheld, for the third consecutive year, funds earmarked for UNFPA."
The Gag Rule, in place since Reagan with a brief hiatus under Clinton, forbids any US funds going to any organization offshore that even *mentions* abortion.
The GOP is telling us who to nominate?
Ya got a source and a cite on that?
Explain why Rudy's anti-gun lawsuit and his sanctuary-city actions should not be considered disqualifiers?
Would be nice to ping the person you are talking about.
You are quite right to want that. However, I do not think the aformentioned article is irrelevant. Planned Parenthood receives rather large amounts of monies from various governments and it is important to see, if possible, who is giving the money to Planned Parenthood for these abortion clinics in Afghanistan. Normally, on FreeRepublic in the past we would all start digging and looking. I hope others will do the same.
Sure, they're not Switzerland. But the local police could shut down an abortion clinic if they want to. Or they can subcontract it out to Mookie Sadr's boys and have it blown up.
Your pics trigger an emotional response alright. But those pics will never trigger a vote for a gun grabbin wife swappin child neglectin cross dressin liberal.
Need I say more?
Then we agree completely on this point.
I believe it is very important to honor the boundaries JimRob has set for this site, though it's not always easy to discern what is and is not over the line. In fact, on one thread, many here thought JimRob had violated the boundaries by allowing a post with a certain name-calling as part of the title.
He apparently thought the thread was within tolerance.
That said, again, I do agree that it is important to honor the markers. But that is not the same as some who trot out some JimRob post and declare, "see, even The Owner agrees with me!," as if we must all now bow down.
When I say JimRob is in the same position as any other poster, I mean he should be agreed with or disagreed with, within the rules, as one thinks fit.
Sounds about right.
However I don't support any 60% candidates during the primaries.
I already pinged Jim on post 133. There is a difference between "talking about someone" and mentioning them in passing. I think Jim has a lot more to do than worry about it every time his name is mentioned.
Who appointed you "hall monitor"?
I, too, am a veteran of the Baptist Church Carpet Wars.
Wow. That brings back some SNL-type memories.
Got to look deeper than that. Moneys that go for one thing to PP easily wind up elsewhere.
I know...but it was so vague and pointless I figured I should just go with the flow.
Absolutely so. Thank you for your patience with me as we sorted this through. I appreciate it very much.
