Thank you Boobs Beer Cigars? HVAC stuff (I don't really know a lot about what you do but I picture a lot of HVAC stuff and maybe a magazine on your desk, something like Sheet Metal Monthly or Heavy Metal, only it would not be about the music) 3 Link to comment

Think about that, posters have actually changed life long stances because of the language and that is not interesting? They didn't change their mind about how they feel about abortion. Pro-choice people have "but..." clauses too - does that make them actually pro-life? 1 Link to comment

I do not have a "but" with pro choice, but Pro Choice means you have a choice, to have or not have the baby. Others might have a "but" with their pro choice stance. See, if you take away choice you are only left with "no option but birth, no matter what" I don't think most people really want that. 2 Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I wonder how many Republican voters were celebrating the RvW decision, but at some point will be thinking...."crap....but, I didn't mean for that to happen". But, of course, so many won't admit that publically. 2 Link to comment

But, of course, so many won't admit that publically. There are also pro-life Dems (yes I know - kind of like the dinosaur) and independents who feel that way. I'm one of those. I've always thought Roe was a very bad decision Constitutionally. However, I never expected its overturn would unleash a torrent of Neanderthal responses, rules, laws actions, words. Maybe during a different political time it would not have. But as I mentioned before, it may have been the right decision (constitutionally) at the wrong time. That post above about making abortion punishable by death just reeks of legalism, judgmentalism, self righteousness, and blind callousness and is no different than Islamic Fascism but this is "Christian" fascism. It isn't Christian - Christ Like - at all. The people speaking this are closer to the Taliban than to Christ. This SC decision made in the midst of the worst political culture since the civil war is releasing the terrifying under belly of the hard core religious & political right. It shows the ugliness of so call "Christian" Nationalism - which isn't Christian at all. 2 Link to comment
TGHusker Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 To add to the above: I do acknowledge there have always been the kooky right fringe who would say stupid things. I just was not prepared to see how unprepared the GOP was for this reversal. But then again - I should have considered their response to Obamacare and their non-existent plan in response. But the degree to which the kookiness has taken over the GOP is now so very apparent. This SC decision has brought it to light. For the most part we have one party with a brain - but too often gets in its own way (the Dems) and one without a brain and is reliant on cult like group think. 2 Link to comment

Not to get off on a tangent but that is quite different than the OT telling people an eye for an eye and tooth for tooth. God may very well punish those who go against him but Jesus repudiated the OT eye for eye talk. Link to comment
