Neither you, nor Father Pavone, are limiting evil at this point. You won't admit it, or perhaps even recognize it, and neither will he, but you're empowering it.
So are you with your unAmerican stand against federalism but you won’t admit it either.
I stand fully for federalism. I just happen to know the difference between enumerated powers and unalienable rights. I also know what the word unalienable means.
President Bush picked originalist judges for SCOTUS, as well as many good circuit court judges, which will help empower goodness, but you will never admit it.
We just need one more SCOTUS to overturn Roe, and at least we will be able to save many more babies.
If a building were on fire, and you could only save half the people, wouldn’t you do so, or would you let them all die?
Please pray before you cast your vote.
Tell McCain how you feel about embryonic stem cell research:
John McCain 703-418-2008 and http://www.johnmccain.com/Contact/
No you don't. You don't even have a clue.
So much for personal liberty.
The difference is individuality.
Sharanski is speaking of the individual ("self") whereas Obama is speaking of the hive. Only the queen bee has an individual identity in the hive.
Seven of the nine sitting justices were put there by Republicans. At least eight of them are legal positivists, and don’t have a basic understanding of what the word “person” means. Sorry, but the promise of judges, especially from someone who has been the enemy of conservatives and conservatism for the last decade like Senator John McCain, just doesn’t wash.
The burning building analogy makes me sick. The so-called “leaders” of the pro-life movement have barricaded the doors, and they have no intention of saving anyone.
Their self-serving “strategy” of regulating abortion instead of standing for principle and demanding its end NOW, is the primary cause for its continuance. It’s time conservatives woke up to that fact.
I don’t have to pray about whether to stand for what is right. That’s already a given for anyone who has read and believed the Bible.
Right. And you’re the possessor of all knowledge. Let me guess, you have a law degree.
John McCain doesn’t listen to conservatives. I can’t believe that you’re so naive as to believe that he does. Ever.
I note here that you have refused to answer every direct question put to and have refused to acknowledge every statement made about the structure of our republic with either a confirmation or a denial. You position is untenable so you ignore every reasonable challenge to it and throw out the "I know what unalienable means" or "you aren't pro-life" nonsense in place of an intelligent reply.
Do States have a right to alienate the God-given rights to life and liberty or not? Why can’t you just address this simple question? Or is personal insult all you’re capable of? You do have a law degree, don’t you?
I did answer that question and after all the insults you have thrown around you have no ground to stand on with that accusation.
I note the complete unresponsiveness of your post. You’re the one doing what you claim I’m doing.
Good night.
The same unresponsiveness you show in all of your posts. You are a complete lightweight. Where is your law degree?
Our Constitution doesn’t belong to the lawyers.
You call me a lightweight. That’s fine. But we’ll see who has the last word on this matter politically.
We’re changing the rules, and folks like you aren’t going to like it very much.
The only reason that RvW still stands is that Congress wants it to stand. Congressional statesmen with an eye toward their duty, by the mere offense to the power of their office, would have knocked down that judicial tyranny the very year it was birthed. It is by their consent that Roe v Wade stands to defy them, Democrat and Republican alike.
Then we are back to the states. MOST states will be opposed to abortion on demand. A few—New York, California—may go the other way. Then we can fight the good fight on the state level.
I do not agree with you. Giving the power of Life to the states is every bit as unconstitutional as RvW is, and is a terrific foot in the door for euthanasia, and ever other sort of bastardization of that sort, which the court will then nationalize, and then here we go again.
One cannot ignore the plain words of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution, which specifically take Life beyond the reach of ALL branches of government, and lay it only in the hands of the Creator. Until that (Conservative) ideal is fully recognized and protected, there will be no end to the perversions that will occur, with 50 different states to use as legal testbeds.
It is not a matter for the federalists to resolve. It is beyond their right to claim. It is an unalienable right, one upon which our federal government is established, as a protector thereof, and without which, our sovereign government has no business to conduct, or moral right to stand.
If a RTL Act can’t get passed, neither will a HLA, which is much more complicated, requires alot more votes, and is much more time-consuming.
On principle, it also suggests we are accepting their premise that the US Constitution does not already acknowledge the God-given right to life-which I believe it does.
As we debate it, though, more babies die, and I have no doubts that O will ensure more innocent deaths for many years to come.
btw, Despite God’s desire that we be made perfect as He is perfect, He annointed imperfect leaders, as told throughout the Bible.
Are we talking adult stem cells or Embryonic stem cells?
Something happened....
...EV, I appreciate & respect you, but God could be using Palin (& she's willing to be used) to hold a mirror to the world and to our government especially.
Who knows.......God may use her for a season....for 4 years...
...and on the world stage, we will see her little Trig grow & he will shine a light on all who were prevented from being born because they were potential 'Trigs'...
..we will see the baby born of her teenage daughter...(Lord willing)...
..and the world will see all the babies who were not allowed to be born, because it was inconvenient!
EV, it could bring repentance to our nation!!
