Way to go guys.

haunt him in his quest for the White House in 2024...given that his only other outcome is the "Big House", I can see why he's in need of consolation.
Instead of all your weird obsession with a former president, why are you all completely silent on all the plague rat illegals and terrorists passing through the border unchecked and not vaccinated? And why aren't you all upset and running your mouths about the high crime in blue cities? Murder, riots, smash and grabs, car jackings. Little stuff like that. And what about all the black little ones that are being slaughtered in black communities where Planned Parenthood just happen to open up for business. These black lives don't matter to the elite left? And none of you are running off your pie holes about the serious opioid problems we have in red and blue states. Those lives don't matter either? And what about the homeless issues we have that cater to the addicted, criminal, and mentally ill elements of our society? Nothing about this issue either? You all are the biggest jags around. beating your chest on a message board but staying clear of all this other inconvenient "junk".
present a thoughtful analysis of why any of them came to be, and more importantly, how they should be addressed...of course that would take time and thought...are you willing to make that effort?
While the following doesn't address this list of yours, it does respond to an earlier rant on marriage, abortion, etc....let's see if you can put a little thought into each of my replies...
BTW, IMO there's nothing weird about exposing Donald Trump for what he is, given that millions of Americans still think he should be President.
-------------------------------
Now...your previous rant...
This nation didn't happen by accident. It was blessed by God to exist. From the very beginning. He continued to bless this nation through the Revolutionary and Civil Wars.
>I’m sure the British and Confederates went to church, too…the winners in those contests believed that ALL men (including women) are created equal and should be free to enjoy their lives without oppression.
Through the Ds push for slavery. Through the lynchings. Through their push for segregation.
>The slavers, segregationists, and lynchers called themselves Democrats, because the Republicans defeated them in the Civil War…later, when their Northern Democrat brethren fought for Civil Rights, they switched to the GOP and kept their racial mindsets. (read about the GOP’s “Southern Strategy”)
The left eliminated school prayer.
>The “Left” understood what “Separation of Church and State” really means…and that no one religion should force its beliefs and traditions on others…that’s why we don’t say only Christian prayers and not include Jewish or Muslim prayers at schools that are open to the public.
They eliminated Nativity scenes.
>See above…feel free to practice your religion on your own…btw, we have a Nativity scene on our front porch…no problem.
They are trying their hardest to destroy traditional marriage.
>Nearly 50% of marriages will end in divorce…most of them, “Traditional”. Why shouldn’t people who have demonstrated true love and commitment to each other be allowed to marry?...btw, many, many Man/Woman marriages are between people who are WAY beyond their procreation years…so why not allow same-sex marriages between loving couples?
It all started with civil unions and now we have a dude swimming on a women's college swimming team.
>See above…but also, same-sex marriages don’t hurt anyone…they are going on all around you and you are no worse for any of it. IMO, you should devote what energy and free time you have to lessening the divorce rate among “Traditional Marriages” that you’re more familiar with.
This nation will finally finish the job and turn completely morally corrupt if abortions continue.
>As I’ve noted elsewhere…nearly 9 out of 10 Catholics) believe that Abortion should be legal for some cases. That metric hasn’t materially changed since Roe v. Wade was enacted. That statistic represents a relative “Tsunami” of opinion contrary to yours.
Polls never were a deciding factor in God's blessings for this nation.
>Polls that have been conducted nearly every year for over 45 years on an issue like Abortion are a clear indication of what the American public thinks. They are fully aware of what an Abortion is…and what a Murder is...and their considered opinion is that…by a vote of nearly 9 to 1 for Catholics, it should be legal for at least some cases.
For a democracy, that level of consistency must be respected…and in fact was, with the Roe v. Wade decision….since then the view has not changed.
>BTW, I do not know of anyone who wants MORE Abortions…in fact virtually everyone I know, or have heard speak on this issue, would like the number to be as low as possible…but they understand the realities of life and insist that the option remain.
Neither were WaPo articles on free message boards.
>See above.
Teen pregnancies are a natural outcome because the left is destroying the family.
>For a completely different reason I read a book about life around the time of the Revolutionary War…in it, the author made the claim that 1 in 3 marriages were “shotgun weddings” because the bride was pregnant…much of it due to a desire for dowries and land…but nonetheless, teenagers without contraception will produce pregnancies…even without the help of “The Left”.
Governor blackface talked about abortions up to birth , and perhaps beyond, and no one on the left said a single word about it.
>Such third trimester abortions are extremely rare and often involve serious danger to the mother’s health...while I support a medical panel review of such situations, the procedures should not be made illegal only due to the gestation period.
The talking point is early abortions for unwanted pregnancies and the "health' of the mother, but it will never end there.
>“Unwanted Pregnancies” is exactly what we need to focus on…reduce those “UPs” and you reduce Abortions (note: complete “elimination” is impossible in a democratic, non-authoritarian society)
Step 1…Identify all the ways UPs occur.
Step 2…Identify means of reducing or, if possible, eliminating each one.
Step 3…Plan and implement programs to achieve those reductions
Step 4…Review results and adjust programs to do better.
Bring God back into schools and family. Teach, then re-teach, morality and responsibility. Make abortions harder to get, not easier as the Ds want to continuously legislate. Glorify the traditional family which goes back to bringing God back in schools and family. No one said a word about Governor blackface. That's the problem. That would draw immediate re-education in the back offices of the D headquarters. This is a moral issue. Lawyers and university teachers are not invited to the discussion. The Catholic Church has done a horrific job in advancing the pro-life cause in fear of alienating contributors. A Supreme Court decision is not the answer. Getting this nation back to the point where they truly understand what an abortion is, when a heartbeat is heard, that the little one feels pain, that there is remorse with many women over their decision to go through with it, that late term abortions is a very real thing. That getting an abortion should never separate a woman from her confessor and returning to Church. Sensing a theme here?
I'll address a couple of your issues...but there's no way I can cover all of them in one sitting ;-)
>There are many religions and sects within those religions...multiple 'Christian' beliefs, including Catholic (Conservative and Liberal)...Jewish (Orthodox and 'Reformed)...Muslim (Sunni and Shiite)...Hindu...etc, etc....our kids could spend an hour making sure that all religions were represented...oh, and btw, there's no small number of Atheists who might not enjoy the 'waste' of their time....how do you suggest we address this issue in our public schools?
>Morality and Responsibility instruction fundamentally belongs at home...public schools can and do establish social standards that promote peace and good learning during the school day.
>Abortions are the result of "Unwanted Pregnancies"...if we address the reasons why they happen, we will reduce the number of Abortions. Some causes (e.g. Rape, Incest) are widely accepted as justification for Abortion...a key reason for 9 out of 10 supporting it...other reasons (e.g. 'Date Rapes'...Abusive Husbands demanding their 'Conjugal Rights') are close to the Rape/Incest category and for women, are truly "Unwanted" and cause them to seek Abortion...then there are situations where couples desire to share sexual pleasure and don't want a pregnancy since it would be a MAJOR negative impact on their lives...these situations will happen...a LOT...and CONTRACEPTIVES are the best means of dramatically reducing UPs...sadly, the Catholic Church doesn't support contraceptives...therefore, the Church is complicit in creating potential Abortions.
Let's stop here...at least for the moment...I'm glad you're venting these concerns...you're by no means alone...and to varying degrees you have the right perspective IMO...BUT, if you'll devote a little time to listening to what I have to say, you might find alternative ways of reaching the objectives you seek...Remember, I'm a life-long Catholic who is striving to live my faith and learn how to be even better.
Let's try to be more focused on one issue at a time...we won't likely solve many of them...but there will be greater understanding and perhaps a little less 'angst'...are you up for that? BTW, it should come as no surprise to you that if we go down that path, I'll expect you to read what I believe are worthy papers from educated sources...sorry to say, but agreement to that is a MUST...we can't just rely on our own insular opinions...they must be "Informed Opinions" meaning other opinions have been explored, challenged and then discerned...btw, I will read your sources as well.
Also, I hope that others will join in...One more thing...Merry Christmas to you and yours!
