    No, there's plenty of people on this forum that aren't as conservative as I am and I don't agree with them, but they aren't trolls. But you've been a member here for a very short time, didn't bother to introduce yourself, and just starting firing off insults. You've also managed to basically state your opinion on when life begins by saying that you wouldn't be allowed to discuss it because of the rules here.

    Normally those signs point to a troll. If you aren't one, then I apologize. Time will tell.

    I apologize if my posting here offends anyone. I really don't want to start off here in this manner.

    BTW, I am opposed to abortion and believe it is a sin. I would not condone anyone who has an abortion other than to save the life of the mother, and I'm not convinced that this happens very often. I also would imagine that most women giving birth would choose their baby's life over their own.

    There are others here who say the same about abortion, but support the worst abortion advocate that has ever occupied the oval office.

    To most of us here , that is the same as being pro abortion. An untenable position for a Christian.

    I can't help what you or other feel is untenable. I did not vote for Obama, but I do hope his economic policies succeed. I also tend to believe he will end up being a better president than many believe.

    Obama and Reagan - there is no comparison. It does an injustice to Ronald Reagan to mention his name in the same breath as the Obama man.

    America, you got what you voted for and what you deserve. :tear:

    I did vote for Obama but obviously not because of his stance on abortion. I voted for him despite his stance. In my view, he has accomplished more in his first 100 days than some presidents accomplish in their entire administration. I don't agree with the details of his proposals so far but I can reason the logic and believe since we are all in this sinking ship, we should all grab an oar and start rowing in unison. Encouraging a mutiny on a sinking ship is self destruction at its best.

    I wasn't saying anything negative about people who voted for Obama. My wife supported him, and frankly, I almost did the same. I don't think someone who votes for a person is necessarily agreeing with all of his positions. I must also say that I think he is much better than his predecessor.

    What has Obama accomplished in your estimation?

    That's a pretty neat compartmentalization for a Christian.

    Some seem to be able to do it. I'm not sure how, but maybe it's mind over matter.

    If one doesn't mind ignoring scriptural teachings , it doesn't really matter.

    I guess we will just have to disagree on this matter.

    You're not disagreeing with me, but a much higher authority.

    Scripture says the rain falls on the just and the unjust. This time the unjust have won, and the just will have to have faith the Lord will bring us through this judgment.

    I guess you are the only one who knows what this "higher authority" desires in every aspect of life. Maybe some day I will be as spiritually-minded as you are. Until then, I will just do the best I can. :wavey:

    Are you sure you really survived the Reagan years. Your ability to distinguish between good and evil seem to have been distorted.

    Doesn't sound like you're doing very well so far.

    Keeping one's Christianity in a box should be very difficult, but it looks like you're managing it just fine.

    All unions should be broken. They're the main reason America is no longer competitive in the global market.

    Maybe you should inform your buddy, Obama.

    If democrats find out you said that, they'll tax your income at 90%. ;)
