I'm not going to bother to debate against this because I don't believe there is any hope for you to post objectively on this matter. Trump is directly and solely responsible for the economy booming, but Obama had a hot product that was going to churn along no matter what. It's the funniest thing I've ever heard, mostly, because it had very little to do with either of them. I'll say it again in the simple words I used two months ago: ECONOMY: If good job Obama, then good job Trump. If good job Trump, then good job Obama. If bad job either, then bad job both. I mean, you literally have economic trends doing the same thing under both, yet one is responsible for the positive trends and the other is not? That's just laughable.

Obama had the weakest recovery since WWII. He had half of all months of >7% unemployment of all POTUS in that period. He did not want to drill for oil and gas, said it would not help. Effectively, everything that happened to grow the economy happened in spite of him, not because of him. Other than the meth of low interest rates I cannot think of a policy of his that worked. I remember his "green jobs" training. Some people believed it and got some "certification" that was nothing but learning how to caulk windows and add insulation. These people thought it was some hot thing, but contractors laughed at it. The President is a fink. |

Overturning Roe would not make abortion illegal. Also there have been majority conservative or Republican nominees of the court and no such thing happened. The answer to the abortion question is not going to be determined by law or the courts but by a conversion of hearts in this country. We need to understand the science that human life begins in the womb, where it did for all of us. We also need to see the equal dignity of every human person and no longer feel that human beings are disposable. Finally, we need to understand the consequences and change our thinking about a sex saturated culture. None of these things are going to happen because the Supreme Court overturns Roe, which they should do regardless of their thinking on abortion because it is just a bad decision. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

While the Padre and I do not agree on much, we do agree that overturning Roe v Wade would not make abortion illegal - it would return the legality of abortion to the individual states to determine |

At this point, this is going to radicalize the left the way the Kavanaugh confirmation radicalized the right (it also radicalized pro-rape men of all political persuasions, but that’s not relevant now). If the Dems take the presidency and the Senate this year, the court will be expanded. No bellyaching if that happens, righties....

Correct. At most there could be a "dormant law" issue where if Roe is overturned an old law banning it comes back into effect. Similar to how in the 1990s and the national speed limit was removed old speed laws just came back in many states. I doubt it though and am sure if it was an issue the states would clean the laws up.
The "you need to believe in science" crowd always chooses to ignore this science. On these boards they refused to do so when I pointed it out. One even said that means a sperm cell is "life" in their crazy defense. I keep saying science says life begins at conception and we can have a morality discussion about abortion afterwards, but the science is clear. And that they made the "then a sperm is life" argument shows how many in the pro-abortion crowd cannot handle the morality part of things. Deep down they know life starts at conception but want to hide from it. It does not fit their argument. I will keep saying the big thing. A high abortion rate is a sign of a sickly society. Banning abortion will not cure things, the society will still be sickly and declining. But it is something people should look at. The President is a fink. |
