December 2, 201510 yr That's quite a laundry list of things I never said, and your first parapraph, by the way, is the textbook definition of a red herring. While no GOP pols, to my knowledge, called for violence against Planned Parenthood (duh), Cruz, Fiorina et al. lined up like jets at LaGuardia waiting to score political points from the undercover video. How this right-wing mass outrage affected people like Dear should be a matter of interest to every American. So then any person who attacked or killed a cop because of rhetoric spewed by the BLM movement, you know the left-wing mass outrage, should be a matter of interest to every American?
December 2, 201510 yr As usual, you miss the point. The political affiliation of Robert Lewis Dear is not important. What is important is to what extent recent GOP outrage directed against Planned Parenthood played a role in Dear's rampage. So is it also important to determine how much the left's demonetization of police is responsible for the recent attacks on police officers?
December 2, 201510 yr As usual, you miss the point. The political affiliation of Robert Lewis Dear is not important. What is important is to what extent recent GOP outrage directed against Planned Parenthood played a role in Dear's rampage. Actually know it isn't. If a crazy man took words that did not call or hint torward violence and decided to commit violence it would still be irrelevant. This is nothing but a juvenile attempt to silence opposing point of views.
December 2, 201510 yr So then any person who attacked or killed a cop because of rhetoric spewed by the BLM movement, you know the left-wing mass outrage, should be a matter of interest to every American? The only ones you seem to give credence is it must be the GOP's fault. So everytime a Democrat or some one with liberal leanings commit murders should I blame Democrat leadership? These "it ain't fair" equivalence arguments are so tiresome.
December 2, 201510 yr These "it ain't fair" equivalence arguments are so tiresome. Whats the difference ?
December 2, 201510 yr These "it ain't fair" equivalence arguments are so tiresome. Translation: You have a valid point that I have no reasonable argument for.
December 2, 201510 yr These "it ain't fair" equivalence arguments are so tiresome. As I suspected, you got nothing because your side fans the flames as bad or worse then mine. HYPOCRITE

December 2, 201510 yr Translation: You have a valid point that I have no reasonable argument for. As I suspected, you got nothing because your side fans the flames as bad or worse then mine. HYPOCRITE What brings down thread after thread after thread on these discussion boards is one of the two following arguments from our friends on the right: 1. "It ain't fair." Democrats get away with this and that, but Republicans get blasted for same. Cry. Weep. Lament. That seems to be the dominant argument in this discussion. Which tells me that a lot of people aren't even reading the news. 2. It's the media's fault. These cliches grow so tiresome.
December 2, 201510 yr Anyone who kills innocent unborn children is the devil incarnate. No. They're really not. They're human beings. They have free will and agency and make decisions. To be certain they've abandoned the dictates of natural reason and somehow managed to convince themselves that the life they're taking isn't real or worthy or that what lives inside the womb and kicks and stirs and has a beating heart somehow is no more human than a veal calf. Is it easier to think of them as something apart from ourselves? Of course, it's easier to hate them and curse them for devils than to see them for what they are. They're not devils. They're people. They're sinners. I can sense it because we sinners can always find our own.
December 2, 201510 yr You guys that are turning this into a political argument are hilarious and saddening at the same time. One of the most read stories on the Washington Post website today is an opinion piece with the headline: "Republicans deserve some blame for Planned Parenthood shootings." The piece is serious analysis, hardly hilarious or saddening. The first paragraph of the piece follows: ********************** "Inflammatory rhetoric inflames. Words — extreme language and overheated representations — have consequences. The killer bears the ultimate responsibility for the carnage in Colorado Springs. But if initial reports of alleged gunman Robert Lewis Dear Jr.’s comments about “no more baby parts” prove true — and logic suggests that it was no mere coincidence the attack was at a Planned Parenthood clinic — Republican politicians who fueled the overwrought and unsupported controversy over selling baby parts bear some measure of responsibility." https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/locating-blame-in-the-planned-parenthood-shooting/2015/12/01/9c26880e-984a-11e5-94f0-9eeaff906ef3_story.html?hpid=hp_no-name_opinion-card-d%3Ahomepage%2Fstory

I struggle with the evil that is abortion and the harvesting of body parts. Everyone in PP may not be evil, but anyone who condones, helps with the killing of innocent babies that have a beating heart, who God has placed in their mothers womb as a protected spot to develop in the what God feels was the safest place possible has been blinded by Satan himself. I understand what I have posted is strong stuff, but I do agree we must place blame right where it lays, Satan. He is the master manipulator and he is working overtime right now.

Keep that in mind.
