Gentlemen.

Please cease this reasonable, respectful and well stated examination of differences in personal belief at once. You are giving the internet a bad name.

 :tongue2:

Seriously though, kudos to both of you.  :beer:

@Smokin Joe

And here I was thinking you are an adult. 20  years ago a businessman contributed money to people that he knew would grease some skids for him if he did,and here you are today,having a hissy-fit about it.

Where were you when Poppy Bush was working with the Clintons to sell military technology,computers,and American manufacturing to the Chinese? Or when Boy Jorge pimped out the US military to his Saud masters? Did you complain about that like you are no whining about a businessman doing what all businessmen have to do to survive?
You were thinking correctly. I am an adult.

Thanks for making my point.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Actually, it was a lot more recent than 20 years ago.

That is a very fair observation.

Thank you. I make no great claims to humanity and loving my fellow man,but IF there IS a God,I DEMAND he be more moral than me,or get off the damn stage!

No doubt you are right. I was just ballparking it and remarking on the hypocrisy of the "Bush-Bot conservatives".

I can't speak for "Bush-bot" conservatives. I didn't vote for W in the primaries, either.

[Conservative women] were officially excluded, but they showed up anyway.  That's why I have said the entire march should not be dismissed out of hand.

It will be interesting to see if most of the MSM (with the exception, perhaps, of Fox News) will cover this weekend's March for Life, in Washington, as thoroughly as it covered last week's march...

They won't cover it at all.

They NEVER cover the March for Life.

Just because a half a million people, men and women, young and old (mostly young) march to end the abortion holocaust, the war against women and fight for life, why should they cover it?   :shrug:

Truth be told, they don't want the rest of the country to know how many people are willing to brave the cold and the elements to stand up for REAL women's rights.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

I was going to add, thank the LORD for EWTN!  We watch the whole march, hear the speeches, listen to interviews and hear commentary every year.

At least the truth is getting out there!

@musiclady

I'm curious. Were they attacked by the leftist women there,or where they "allowed" to have their own opinions?

Thanks. I thought that was the old 700 Club network? If it was,how did it become Catholic?

No, it's always been Catholic. The 700 Club is on another network, the one founded by Pat Robertson. EWTN was started by a nun named Mother Angelica. A friend of mine worked there as a set designer in the 1980s and she said Angelica was a hoot.

It's the Roman Catholics' station.

@pjohns

I see others have answered it for you.   I'm not Catholic, but they are such stalwarts for Life that I watch much of what they broadcast.

My husband and I have intended to go to the March for Life several years and were snowed out, so I watched their broadcast all day.

Even though we had no plans to go this year, we still watched their broadcast.

VERY encouraging.

I prefer the Bear Jew:

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

Reposting from Facebook a comment from the head of Students for Life, one of the pro-life groups that tried to participate in the march:
Quote
I've read some disturbing comments from those who identify as pro-life feminists saying they were more welcome at the pro-abortion, so-called Women's March than at the March for Life.

 I was there with our team (mostly all women) at both events. Here's what I know: When I was in the crowd of the Women's March, as long as those gathered couldn't see my pro-life sign that read “abortion betrays women”, I was welcome. As soon as I put it up, I was not.

Our team was spit at, cursed at, multiple signs were ripped from our hands, and if it weren't for the Planned Parenthood-trained marshals protecting us from their own crowd, we would have been physically attacked.

 At the March for Life, our team headed to the Supreme Court early to make sure the few pro-abortion protestors who showed up didn't hog all of the media attention (trust me, this happens). No pro-lifer screamed, cursed or spit at them. In fact, the cursing and the yelling always always came from them. The differences were stark.
