What you all should do, is become sainted. Beyond all human repair or neediness.
Then, we could have a conversation.
How’s that sound?
He recently said (from above):
When the Daily Caller’s Jamie Weinstein asked Trump if he would have become pro-life if that child had been a loser instead of a “total superstar,” Trump replied: “Probably not, but I’ve never thought of it. I would say no, but in this case it was an easy one because he’s such an outstanding person.”
So life and death is based on his judgement of a person being a “superstar” or “loser”. That is profoundly disturbing. So if more “losers” live in the future abortions are okay again?
What the hell kind of principles are those?
It depends on if they’re “losers” or “superstars”...
Hmmmm. It’s 5:15 am. Looks like you’re a little late this morning getting your usual anti-Trump trash out your PC door. Is it because you’re having more and more trouble these days finding articles that are fresh, well written and give the reader some real insight to Trump? Another Weekly Standard piece of garbage.
That Trump could go from supporting third-trimester abortion--something indistinguishable from infanticide, something that only 14 percent of Americans think should be legal--to becoming pro-life because of that one experience is a bit hard to believe. If it's true, the story still indicates at the very least that Trump is not capable of serious moral reasoning.---
When I learned that Obama was the only legislator to oppose the partial birth abortion ban, I knew all I needed to know.
Yesterday I wrote a lengthy post, saying that Trump doesn't have a firm grasp on good and evil...
You either get this or you don't. But this is a very, very bad sign.
Cruz has a PROVEN record!
None of them are perfect, including Reagan, and Reagan, a humble man would be the first to say he was not perfect.
Cruz is way closer to Reagan than Trump. NO CONTEST.
-— Amen, wondered if anyone else would catch the eugenics philosophy espoused. -—
You’d have to be blind to miss it.
But at least Trump will make the trains run on time.
God help us.
I think it’s a reasonable question. We don’t know what Trump will do if he is elected. We don’t know what any candidate will do if he/she is elected. We know only what they say they will do.
The gap between campaign rhetoric and actual performance in office is often very wide.
The only issue for me is stopping immigration - ALL immigration.
Second fro me is supreme court justices’ appointments.
Nothing else matters.
I would like to know more what kind of justices Trump would appoint to the SC. Electing a republican is no guarantee of getting a conservative, strict constitutionalist on the court.
People don’t realize SC is the biggest issue.
Gun rights? 5-4.
Gay marriage 5-4.
Etc etc.
Trump trashed Scalia. How can a thinking conservative imagine in their wildest dream he would appoint a conservative??
"......The political distinctiveness of the Millennials is greatly exaggerated. In their incoherence, they are very much like the general run of American voters, who want more spending, lower taxes, and balanced budgets, who oppose endless war in the Middle East except when they don't, who think that the government should do more to help the poor except for all those bums on welfare, etc. Millennials may be much more enthusiastic about gay marriage than their elders, but on other key issues, such as the legality of abortion, they are largely indistinguishable from them. Like most other Americans, they tend to cite jobs and economic concerns as the issues most important to them, and, like most other Americans, they generally lack even the rudimentary grasp of economics sufficient for understanding the main arguments about those issues. The main difference between them and preceding generations is that the Millennials are young, they are many, and, ironically enough, they lack any sense of genuine introspection even as they remain utterly fascinated by the contents of their own navels.".....
... Ask Cruz if he supports abortion bans at the federal level.
Ask Cruz if he supports gay marriage bans at the federal level.
You miss the point. Cruz UNDERSTANDS THE CONSTITUTION.
IF YOU DON’T KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THE SCOTUS IS IN SHAPING OUR FUTURE YOU KNOW NOTHING. NOTHING.
AND YOU TRUST YOUR HERO WHO TRASHED SCALIA.
DISGUSTING LACK OF LOOKING AT FACTS.
DO YOU LIKE GUNRIGHTS? A COUPLE OF NONCONSERVATIVE APPOINTMENTS AND ALL OUR GUN RIGHTS ARE GONE WITH THE WIND.
"The 300-odd young libertarians packed into Catholic University's student center were the elect of the elect. They'd scored invites to the Young Americans for Liberty annual conference because -- according to an email pitch to sponsors -- they could be "the future congressmen, entrepreneurs, policy makers, and activists that will restore our republic."
And they were not fans of Planned Parenthood. In a short evening of conversations, no young libertarian activist said he disagreed with Sen. Rand Paul's (R-Ky.) effort to bar any federal funds for the family planning group. At a bar near the conference, one table echoed with arguments about the ethics of abortion, and the politics of Paul's move.
"Planned Parenthood should not be funded by taxpayer dollars," said Hannah Malstrom, 26, a student at the University of Central Arkansas. "We were all once 20 weeks old. If I was ripped limb from limb, and my organs were sold on the black market, I would not be a happy camper. Another big stance in libertarianism is opposition to the death penalty. It's not right to play God when someone has done something wrong -- so why is it right to play God with someone who has done nothing wrong?"......
What proof is there that a real estate developer whose business depends on illegal immigration would clear them out not increase them?
However, Reagan was an Natural born American. Ted Cruz is a natural born Canadian.
Lol. No matter how many times the GOPe fools you, you keep coming back for more.
bttt!

Trump is an across-the-board failure. Even his immigration policy expedites the return of deportees.
Worse still is his limited ability to reason morally. When asked recently whether his pro-life conversion would have been different if the “super” child that was spared from abortion, was instead, a “loser,” he replied, “no.”
The uncritical support for him is mystifying.
I am a firm believer that as one ages they become more wiser and conservative on life issues. It’s not always the case, but more so than not. I think at 70 years this explains Trump’s evolution.
