    What is the result of all their work to overturn their own abortion law? Not much. Even when they controlled thje Presidency, both houses of Congress and the Supreme Court they accomplished nothing. Give me some concrete instyances in which Republiocans made a serious effort to make all abortion in America illegal. You can't.

    Strange interpretation Aron. I have never said they are not alive. Are you pro-life, both for the unborn and for those born and living?

    If your personal standard is that republicans have not worked to pass a national law that ends all abortion everywhere so this means it is the same as they have done nothing.....


    It is the same type of red herring crabby insists on making with regards to the government help of the poor. It is childish and sophomoric.

    Of course he's pro-life. It's the convicted killer, proven guilty through DNA and current forensic science, who's anti-life and a threat to society. And your solution is to set them up for life with better provisions and benefits than those living in poverty who aren't a non-returning drain on resources or a threat to their fellow man.

    You are the one placing the unborn in juxtaposition to the living. Not I.

    I don't know what kind of discussions go on in the administrators corner, but it can't be right if you aren't forthwith banned.

    No. I know what the word juxtaposition means. I want him to elaborate on the positions he says I juxtaposed.

    Some more Republicans that should join the Democrat Party are Mitch McConnell, John McCain, and Lindsey Graham.

    Can you imagine what it would be like to live in a place like Prague, which is just another Amsterdam. You would be saying that pro-life would mean that Hitler could never be executed no matter what he did to Prague.

    40 years ago I couldn't imagine I'd be living in a total surveillance police state where anyone of us can be imprisoned indefinitely without due process but here we are. And your prediction about me is wrong. I'm the only one here that's been openly calling for bringing back public hangings in the town square for child molesters. If it were left up to the Christian conservative Romans 13ers we'd have all been living under dictatorial fascist rule a long time ago.

    Ask the average American today about the possibility that our country could become a police state and the common response is, “That could never happen here.” But, ladies and gentlemen, it is already happening here. And, furthermore, it seems that the vast majority of the American people are all in favor it. Republicans love it; Democrats love it; Christians love it; politicians love it; police officers love it; pastors love it; school teachers love it; businessmen love it; everyone loves a police state.

    http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin790.htm

    And you wonder why I don't have any respect for democrats and republicans? You've all (with very few exceptions) sold yourselves and your fellow Americans out for a false sense of security.

    You were fine and dandy when it was Bush shredding the constitution and building the framework for Obama's police state dictatorship but now you want to come out crying big alligator tears yelling foul and whining like a little girl because Obama used the "unitary presidency" you and the republican faithfuls handed to Bush to further consolidate power in the executive branch?

    Puhleeze. You only got yourself to blame so quit yer whining already.

    It's obvious to the most casual observer, but a quick answer to this question will make it painfully obvious.

    Do you consider the unborn to be among the living?

    Answering in the affirmative will render your arguments nonsensical, as will be seen as substituting the term living for the unborn therein.

    Answering in the negative will be a truthful answer for once, but you will have to fess up to your proabortion stance.

    Of course they are alive.

    Which arguments. I am simply pro life before birth and after birth. Not many folk who are against abortion are pro-life after birth. Supporting capital punishment is simply one example of their being pro-death.

    So, you have already decided what my answer should be to make you happy. Sorry, it isn't my answer.

    Crab(Mao)boy constantly juxtaposes the living and the unborn, ergo the unborn are not among the living.

    But when questioned directly, he says he counts the unborn among the living. So, I've taken his argument, and substituted his professed meanings therein in red where the unborn are either mentioned or implied. Now witness the absurdity.

    Here are his own words for everyone to see, Jesus is not concerned with the care of the unborn:
    Remember the judgement scene in Matthew. Lots about taking care of those alive ... nothing about before being born.
    The violence he does to the text make the ME'ers look like Charles Spurgeon, and they were banned. You'd think that would be enough, but he cites Jesus to support his antilife propaganda. And still he's allowed wide berth to spew his Marxist subterfuge.

    Enough is enough. Marxism is more than politics, it is religion. Saying one is a Christian Socialist is like saying he is a Christian atheist. One thing is certain, he's no Baptist.

    Europeans, CTB, and you are practically one now, could not bring themselves to execute Hitler even if he raped Prague all over again.

    To say that a refusal to execute Nazi war criminals is pro-life just proves how convoluted European/liberal thinking is. It is going to be really tough in Prague/Amsterdam when the GOP legalizes illegal migration and opens the US borders to Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Europe has already opened their borders to Islam. I don't know who is going to send a check to Europe to pay for their welfare and I don't know who is going to fight Europe's wars because I can't imagine that third world types are too concerned about ex-colonials.

    It really doesn't matter why you left the GOP, CTB, because the GOP is now an elephant gone mad and is self-destructing. The USA is going to a one-party system and a socialist state. Thirty to forty million Asians, Africans and Hispanics are expected to flood in and destroy American culture and economy. Even the Democrat Party will now just be another communist-style party--even more than it is now.

    Don't be upset with me. Be upset with Matthew ... or God. I didn't write Matthew. But if you can show me where the judgement scene speaks about the unborn then do so.

    My point was that from this description of the final judgment and from Jesus teachings it is obvious that God and Jesus considered how we treat others as very important.

    Notice in the passage the judge does not take into consideration what those being judged believed or what they thought, he judged them on how they treated others.

    Remember those on his left, the goats, were the ones who would not help those who were ill, in prison, etc.

    Other verses speaking to this:

    As I said, the Republican party does not want to end abortion. It would cost them votes. Simple enough for you to understand?
