There's nothing in the Bible about abortion. Plenty about the poor though.

Yeah, "blessed are the fetuses" only got ramped up, ironically enough, when women were allowed to control their own bodies.

And, if you'll notice, it's the big Protestant megachurches that drive the pro-fetusfacefucking agenda, not Catholics.

:yes: The Hokey Pokey Performers are generally more concerned with finding ways to deprive their employees of the whore pills.  The difference is subtle, but present. ;)

You just have to be to the right of Castro

Like Yeshua ben Yosep of Nazareth?
The Gospels are not exactly a libertarian tract.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

They're not exactly any kind of tract.  Unless you think the purpose of government should be to maximize benefit in the afterlife, in which case the optimal policy would be maintaining as much poverty as possible.

Though I don't really see how this is related to my post.

one more proof that religion is evil! :P
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Can we stop with the claim that somehow Bernie's plan starts and stops with single payer healthcare?

50% upper tax rate and breaking up big banks is hardly to the left of the presidents I mentioned above.

Considering there was no income tax at all during TR's political career color me suspicious.


Talking about FDR, Truman and LBJ there.

TR I was just talking about health care.

Although, looking up the 16th amendment on Wikipedia,  TR was an outspoken supporter.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

You do know that when the Federal income tax first went into affect, only about the people making the top 5% of incomes were taxed, right?

The whole point was just to replace the excise taxes on alcohol so they could pass prohibition, right? It quickly got out of control from there :P

Worst living President Jimmy Carter penned an op-ed today agreeing with Trump's decision to go after Canadian softwood lumber. This puts me in a bind, because I reflexively hate anything Carter does, but Canada's softwood lumber shenanigans have been on my list of major offenses by Canada against the United States for many years.

:rolleyes:

I would love for someone to explain exactly what these shenanigans my countryment are accused of.  Every time I've looked at the issue I couldn't see any.
