Like I said, Trump is no saint and nobody ever claimed him to be. But when it comes to religious people, he's much closer to their values than Democrats. The last debate Hillary clearly voiced her support for abortion damn near right up to birth. Christians really look down on that--much more than somebody who made money from talent shows, casinos and golf courses.
So it isn't about religion (because Abortion is mentioned NOWHERE in the bible), it's about political considerations. Thank you for pointing out that the Conservative Christians have expended their last bit of credibility.
They have a lot to fear. What if we were at war with Canada who vowed to wipe the US off the face of the earth, and some powerhouse country supported them getting nuclear weapons? You bet we'd have to take some sort of action. I can't blame the Jews for being fearful.
If the Jews stayed in Europe where they belonged, they wouldn't have this issue.
But why is this MY problem again? Two groups arguing over who an imaginary pixie in the sky promised a strip of sand to?
Really? So how do you make the argument for oil companies since we get our oil elsewhere? After all, the US is the biggest consumer of oil products.
As for mass transit, nobody wants it. It would be money wasted away like what happened in California. What moron would choose to wait for a train, board it with hundreds of strangers, sit in a confined seat next to the fat guy who snores, compared to just starting your car and driving it to where you need to go.
If there were any money in mass transportation.....any money at all, you wouldn't need governments constantly subsidizing it. Private industry would have cornered the market years ago.
No, they wouldn't have. Mass transit doesn't have the profit potential, but it's actually more cost effective. Fact is, the banks,t he auto industry, the oil industry all make huge profits off pushing autos on even the poorest Americans.
We've designed our whole society around them to a degree most other countries haven't. WHich is why we consume 25% of the oil in the world only having 4% of the world's population.
Never said it was. Remember you were the one to insert guns into the Christian argument.
no, you were the one who did by saying Christians supported Trumpenfuhrer because of his current gun control position. (Just ignore that he supported gun control a few years ago.)
We have the highest homicide rate in the world because our prisons were liberalized years ago. We are also a multi-cultured country unlike many others. Blacks are the most violent people in our country. Take them out of the picture and you would have a much lower violent crime rate. Many don't have fear of going to prison, and certainly not the death penalty because it never takes place until 15, 18, 22 years after the sentence. And of course there are states that outlawed capital punishment to boot.
Guy, we lock up more people than any country in the world. Besides your obvious racism, we have a lot of you white trash going around shooting each other, too.
So it isn't about religion (because Abortion is mentioned NOWHERE in the bible), it's about political considerations. Thank you for pointing out that the Conservative Christians have expended their last bit of credibility.
Religion is a belief, and over half of the people in this country believe abortion is murder. If Christians believe abortion is murder, then to them it is murder, and murder is one of God's top 10 no-no's. Christians believe that a fetus is a human being:
Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet to the nations.
Psalm 139:13–16
For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
No, the Holy Bible does not speak about guns and abortion because there were no guns and abortion around at the time. I guess they couldn't get the taxpayers to open up Planned Parenthood's.
If the Jews stayed in Europe where they belonged, they wouldn't have this issue.
But why is this MY problem again? Two groups arguing over who an imaginary pixie in the sky promised a strip of sand to?
We support democracies all around the world. Israel is the only Democracy in the middle-east. During the Iraq war, Iran was sending all kinds of people to Iraq to kill our solders. And yet, DumBama gave them their money back which they will use for evil. They should have stayed in Europe? Where the hell do you think we came from? Not everybody is an anti-semite like you.
No, they wouldn't have. Mass transit doesn't have the profit potential, but it's actually more cost effective. Fact is, the banks,t he auto industry, the oil industry all make huge profits off pushing autos on even the poorest Americans.

Mass transit is subsidized by taxpayers all over the country. It's a losing game Joe. Yes, it may be more cost effective to the rider, but the inconvenience of using mass transit makes it more worthwhile to spend the extra money, and that's why few people use mass transit as an option. Here they charge a sales tax partly to support our busses, and we've been paying that tax for decades. That's why the private market wants nothing to do with it.
no, you were the one who did by saying Christians supported Trumpenfuhrer because of his current gun control position. (Just ignore that he supported gun control a few years ago.)
I never said anything like that. What I said is that Trump is closer to Christian values than Hil-Liar. You're the one who decided to bring up the subject of guns.
Guy, we lock up more people than any country in the world. Besides your obvious racism, we have a lot of you white trash going around shooting each other, too.
No, not a lot, just some. And I understand how facts and figures can be racist to a liberal, but the truth is blacks make up 13% of our population, but you are six times more likely to get killed by a black than a white.
So if you take 53% of the murders off the books, our murder rate is not all that bad. And again, since more and more states are adopting CCW laws and laws that protect the victim instead of the attacker, those violent crime rates are coming down and have been for a while.
