LOL
Seriously???
You're right, I misread your post. My response doesn't make any sense. I don't even remember why I posted that. Sorry.Dude you literally quoted me not conflating poor and rural.
March for Life participants. Yep. That makes sense.
I went to Catholic school. I can vividly remember the PASSION Right to Life folks have. I believe Wrangor has articulated his firm belief in this area. I disagree, but I understand.
What I don't understand is the moral compass of Right to Lifers as it relates to actual, living human beings. Jesus was INCREDIBLY CLEAR. Specific, even.
"Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen."
I mean...he was CRYSTAL clear: "35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."
Pretty common choice we all have to make.
I see a good many posts like this on facebook from conservatives I know (or mostly just used to know.) It's usually along the lines of "veterans, the homeless, unemployed blue-collar folk" etc., are suffering in this economy, so we need to focus on helping them instead of immigrants and refugees. It would be a stronger argument if it wasn't for the fact that these same conservatives are also in favor of gutting the very programs and benefits designed to help veterans, poor people, the homeless, etc. IMO, it's a completely contradictory argument - "we can't bring in more immigrants because we need to focus on helping our own poor and needy, except we also need to cut all of their welfare and benefits programs too." It's like the arguments from anti-abortion activists who will eloquently talk about the need to preserve life and save the unborn, but then when the kid is born they don't want to pay for any welfare programs designed to help the baby or mother, or help the kid as they grow.
These people have been marketed to so well they cannot pull themselves out of the cycle of nonsense. They’ve been hornswoggled, and they can’t solve it.
Yup. Jesus is far more specific in how he wants his followers to treat their fellow human beings than anywhere in the Bible is about when life begins.
Read the thread. These kids were chanting “Build the wall!” at Native American marchers. It’s not about immigration.
I don't know if someone else corrected this elsewhere, but, apparently they weren't.
People are saying they did.
If they did it miraculously didn't get captured on any of the video recordings.
You don't get audio on video unless you can lip read.
And I can't believe you're doubting people.
