"Souls" and "faith leaders"??

Really!!

What about the "souls" of those millions of potential Americans who have been denied their Creator-endowed rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" by the deliberate actions of government/citizens whose minds are possessed by an ideology foreign to America's Founding ideas?

“She’s been pro-life for a long time,” Feinstein said. So I suspect with her, it’s deeply personal and comes with her religion.”

Speaking of Barett's "religion," as Feinstein does, is any so-called "conservative" asking the bottom-line question as to why liberals/progressives must, and, indeed, have chosen the abortion question as their own "deeply personal and comes with their religion" religion?

Please note especially the first paragraph highlighted and quoted below from the Liberty Fund Library "A Plea for Liberty: An Argument Against Socialism and Socialistic Legislation," edited by Thomas Mackay (1849 - 1912), Chapter 1, final paragraphs from Edward Stanley Robertson's essay, "The Impracticability of Socialism":

Note the writer's emphasis that the "scheme of Socialism" requires what he calls "the power of restraining the increase in population"--long the essential and primary focus of the Democrat Party in the U. S.:

"I have suggested that the scheme of Socialism is wholly incomplete unless it includes a power of restraining the increase of population, which power is so unwelcome to Englishmen that the very mention of it seems to require an apology. I have showed that in France, where restraints on multiplication have been adopted into the popular code of morals, there is discontent on the one hand at the slow rate of increase, while on the other, there is still a 'proletariat,' and Socialism is still a power in politics.
I.44
"I have put the question, how Socialism would treat the residuum of the working class and of all classes—the class, not specially vicious, nor even necessarily idle, but below the average in power of will and in steadiness of purpose. I have intimated that such persons, if they belong to the upper or middle classes, are kept straight by the fear of falling out of class, and in the working class by positive fear of want. But since Socialism purposes to eliminate the fear of want, and since under Socialism the hierarchy of classes will either not exist at all or be wholly transformed, there remains for such persons no motive at all except physical coercion. Are we to imprison or flog all the 'ne'er-do-wells'?
I.45
"I began this paper by pointing out that there are inequalities and anomalies in the material world, some of which, like the obliquity of the ecliptic and the consequent inequality of the day's length, cannot be redressed at all. Others, like the caprices of sunshine and rainfall in different climates, can be mitigated, but must on the whole be endured. I am very far from asserting that the inequalities and anomalies of human society are strictly parallel with those of material nature. I fully admit that we are under an obligation to control nature so far as we can. But I think I have shown that the Socialist scheme cannot be relied upon to control nature, because it refuses to obey her. Socialism attempts to vanquish nature by a front attack. Individualism, on the contrary, is the recognition, in social politics, that nature has a beneficent as well as a malignant side. The struggle for life provides for the various wants of the human race, in somewhat the same way as the climatic struggle of the elements provides for vegetable and animal life—imperfectly, that is, and in a manner strongly marked by inequalities and anomalies. By taking advantage of prevalent tendencies, it is possible to mitigate these anomalies and inequalities, but all experience shows that it is impossible to do away with them. All history, moreover, is the record of the triumph of Individualism over something which was virtually Socialism or Collectivism, though not called by that name. In early days, and even at this day under archaic civilisations, the note of social life is the absence of freedom. But under every progressive civilisation, freedom has made decisive strides—broadened down, as the poet says, from precedent to precedent. And it has been rightly and naturally so.
I.46
"Freedom is the most valuable of all human possessions, next after life itself. It is more valuable, in a manner, than even health. No human agency can secure health; but good laws, justly administered, can and do secure freedom. Freedom, indeed, is almost the only thing that law can secure. Law cannot secure equality, nor can it secure prosperity. In the direction of equality, all that law can do is to secure fair play, which is equality of rights but is not equality of conditions. In the direction of prosperity, all that law can do is to keep the road open. That is the Quintessence of Individualism, and it may fairly challenge comparison with that Quintessence of Socialism we have been discussing. Socialism, disguise it how we may, is the negation of Freedom. That it is so, and that it is also a scheme not capable of producing even material comfort in exchange for the abnegations of Freedom, I think the foregoing considerations amply prove."
EDWARD STANLEY ROBERTSON

Every Trump supporter I know is pearl clutching right now. Because they understand the consequences.

I should know, since I live here near {Pittsburgh, but has he come to Western PA lately? I know Joe came here in the Summer. But lately?

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette just endorsed Trump. Hard hat Pittsburgh is not overly friendly territory for Senile Joe this year!

“Texas, and North Carolina are now and will be in play for the RATS in 2024 and beyond.’

Maybe, maybe not. The wall is going to change the demographic somewhat.

Also, at some point, all the liberals leaving NYC, Baaaaaaaaston and Californicate will put those places in play.

Philly is a 45 minute drive from his basement. I think Joe has earned less frequent flier miles this year than my grandmother....and she’s in a nursing home..

Trump’s second term will change the game. The GOP is being rebuilt in his image, the old rules are going away.

I have worked in a bunch of campaigns and studied politics and polls for decades.

It is _not_ hard to figure out this stuff.

If you know how to ride a bicycle, a couple of hills here and there are no problem.

This is an easy re-election for the President.

Biden is the weakest Democratic candidate in a generation.

We may not get this lucky next time.

“Biden will host a “Souls to the Polls” meeting with faith leaders and followers Sunday afternoon, the campaign said in a news release. He’ll then attend a drive-in event to encourage Pennsylvanians to vote.”

What a laugh! There will dozens of times more “Trump Chumps” outside these events heckling him with their horns and bullhorns than the couple dozen that might bother to show up to hear Biden. They better bring Obozo along, because he might be able to pull in another dozen or so supporters. The media typically outnumbers the participants at any Biden event.

There will be more PDJT supporters there than slow joe supporters. What PDJT did in PA yesterday can’t be equaled. He was that good.

That is Senate reinforcement, I think.

Will he discuss his support for repealing the Hyde Amendment at this event?

Hillary had a late rally with Obamas and Bon Jove in Philly and most left before Hillary took the stage.

That’s probably true but then again every person I know who voted for Trump last time (‘16), including myself, ....we were ALL certain back in 2016 that he was going to lose to Clinton because we all believed the “polls”. Now almost ALL of them are convinced he’s going to win DESPITE what the polls say. There’s a BIG difference this time in that I know more people who are voting for Trump this time that did not vote for him in 2016. Oh BTW- almost the vast majority of those people are Hispanics that are part of the 40% that will vote for Trump on Tuesday.

What do they do? Wreck their cities with sicko liberal policies and then move to a new city to wreck that, too? Liberalism is a scourge.
