Here’s a real simple question. If you could have one, or the other - what would you take:
A flat 10% federal income tax across the board (just a simple tax code, no deductions, no need for 50-page tax returns, etc.)
Or...Abortion completely outlawed throughout the land
What would you choose?
I think it’s a no-brainer. Take the tax cut and continue to push via religous campaigns and otherwise against abortion.
False dilemma.
There is no reason why we can’t fight for both. You have to have the stomach for the conservative fight, like Reagan did.
Can anybody imagine the Leftists winning a big election and then saying, “OK, we can have domestic spending and Obamacare out the azz, but we have to stop having abortions right now.”
Get in the fight for real conservatism.
I've seen the FR blue screen of death even just the other day. It's still being used.
I think China Syndrome got his wish, more than he imagined.
All the zottees that I checked had white screens. I don’t think there’s been any more.
Therefore...
IBTZ!
Me, too.

Maybe it turns blue/purple after rigor mortis sets in. ;-)
I don’t think Walt’s Ice Pick is a s troll. They have seemed ok. Check their posting history.
That’s very true, well said.
Wanna borrow my flame suit?
You are a troll.
ROTFLOL! Rigor mortis! ha ha
White or purpley blue, maybe some zots have higher wattage than others? Or is it amps? Or decibels?
I wondered about the Ice Pick dude myself.
Yeah, money is SO much more important than stopping the slaughter of the unborn.
You are so right.
And heck, there’s money to be made from aborted fetuses, too - you know, ingredients for medicine, cosmetics and so on.
Double financial plus!
And I think that I need to go to bed. lol
Here I give you answer...
Matthew 19:14
Then were little children presented to him, that he should impose hands upon them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them. [14] But Jesus said to them: Suffer the little children, and forbid them not to come to me: for the kingdom of heaven is for such.
Matthew 22:17
[16] And they sent to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou dost not regard the person of men. [17] Tell us therefore what dost thou think, is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? [18] But Jesus knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites? [19] Shew me the coin of the tribute. And they offered him a penny. [20] And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this? [21] They say to him: Caesar’s. Then he saith to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God, the things that are God’s. [22] And hearing this they wondered, and leaving him, went their ways.

Philippians 3:7
But the things that were gain to me, the same I have counted loss for Christ.
Good night!
Guess I’m a 10-year troll. I’m merely trying to expound on the “pick your battles” theme earlier posted. IMHO the all or nothing approach will not succeed in the present political landscape. Yes, we can try to have it all. But we’re looking at the virtual fiscal an economic distruction of our country. That is what concerns me the most.
This is a philisophical question. I guess I could have worded it the other way. How about this: Would you take another 5 presidents just like Obama, higher taxes, open boarders, fiscal ruin, weak national defense etc, etc. But on the bright side, abortion completely illegal.
it’s a tough moral/philisophical question. Doesn’t make me a troll, just a realist.
A flat 10% federal income tax across the board (just a simple tax code, no deductions, no need for 50-page tax returns, etc.)
Or...Abortion completely outlawed throughout the land
What would you choose?
I think it’s a no-brainer. Take the tax cut and continue to push via religous campaigns and otherwise against abortion.
So, if you had to choose between:
A. A flat tax.
or
B. Saving the lives of more than 3500 babies EVERY DAY.
YOU would take the money and let the babies die.
Just out of curiousity, how much money do you figure you could save every year on the flat tax? I really want to know what sort of value you place on the lives of 52 MILLION slaughtered Americans.
I think you got the "no-brainer" part right, it just doesn't mean what you think it does.
“it’s a tough moral/philisophical question. Doesn’t make me a troll, just a realist.”

No, it’s not a tough question. Not for those of us who would never consider selling out our soul (and the soul of our Country) for a few measley bucks.
Please understand: We are facing a “virtual fiscal an economic distruction of our country” (sp) BECAUSE we gave up and accepted a moral and social destruction of our country. Until we return to our roots and the moral heritage we had for the 1st (almost) 200 years of our founding; we will NEVER have that fiscal and econonomic freedom.
Never.
