I'm slowly losing my mind. ;-)

Your first post. You brought up the "anti-Christian zealots" that I pinged to the thread.

And that proves what dear?

It's clear you now are a hypocrite.

[Lorianne]

Exactly

[Lazamataz]

As long as there is a strong Pro-Bush movement the Pro-Life movement will thrive.

I am scared to interpret this sentence.

>>tpaine: Your comment is too juvenile to necessity countering, for anyone familiar with what were the actual causes of the Civil War. To waste time recounting history to you is not my way to enjoy a discussion thread and it lends to you far more significance than you are due. ##########

Wow, that wasn't nice.
How about just suggesting a Google search?

[Pro-Bush]

Does Supreme court ring a bell?

[Sparta]

You've obviously never heard one of the more prominent spokesperson who goes around the country debating pro-aborts and offering discussions on this in classrooms: Scott Klusendorf of Stand to Reason. As the name of the organization implies, Scott uses scientific reasoning

No I have not. I was just pointing the perceptions the soccer mommies and the media have of us. As a libertarian, I tend to be more open to rational arguements than just moral arguements, although morality combining with reason is preferable of course.

Does Supreme court ring a bell?

What's brown and sounds like a bell? DUNG......

[Clint N. Suhks]

That's nonsense. Logic doesn't change.

Hehehe...

Logic: Abotion causes cancer so don't do it.

Logic changed: RU486 doesn't cause cancer so now it's OK.

[Qwerty]

"Because he doesn't care."

There might be plenty of negative things to be said about Clint, but I do believe that he does care deeply. I think he just has no social skills.

[Lazamataz]

Wow, that wasn't nice.

Welcome to tpaine. A more disagreeable, less humorous person, you will never find.

[Cathryn Crawford]

Why should conservatives be forced to use methods not even used in reverse by liberals?

Consider this quote by Ohioan:

I fear that too many on our side simply seek a feel good sense of their own moral superiority, to want to actually approach the issue tactically, as opposed to emotionally. (Maybe that is being unkind, but some of them sure do not understand the art of persuading the not already committed.)

The answer to your question of why is - to save lives. We have to do anything we can.

[Sparta]

I'm slowly losing my mind. ;-)

Don't worry, just change your party registration to Libertarian and we'll all understand. ;-)

[Clint N. Suhks]

In other words, don't use any other methods but the also often changeable concept of right and wrong to persuade people.

Sorry my little moral relativist but right and wrong are always right or wrong, they never change. And guess what, murder is always wrong.

[MEGoody]

"Clint, why not use logic if it might win people over?"

For the most part, people are quite illogical (even though most would deny that). The vast majority of Americans operate based upon emotions. I think we'd do better to stir up the emotions of those whose minds we wish to change.

[patton]

I honestly tried to wade my way up to your response, but I barfed, instead. So forgive me if my reply is redundant.

It's not cellular division, it's cellular completion. Neither a spermatoza nor an egg is a complete cell - until you put them together.

Then it is human.

[Cathryn Crawford]

You aren't the only person trying to convince me to do that, Sparta. Since I just acquired my voting rights, I'll stick with my Republican registration for a little while longer. ;-)

[Qwerty]

"Logic: Abotion causes cancer so don't do it. Logic changed: RU486 doesn't cause cancer so now it's OK."

Clint, the logic never changed. The logic was that IF RU486 causes cancer, you should avoid getting cancer by avoiding RU486.

If RU486 does NOT cause cancer, that particular point is moot but logic remains constant.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Because he doesn't care.

Ms. Hyperbole, you win! I don't care about poor children being murdered.

[Capt.YankeeMike]

she has a GREAT point, and logical argument.....alas, most people in this country only go by their emotions, not logic.
