It looks like the point now is getting to be to paint pro-lifers as dumbbells or hypocrites rather than to go right at the issues themselves.
Then by all means please rephrase.
I don't find it necessary to draw a distinction between a liberal or conservative misreading of his remarks. If it's misread it's simply misread. The very existence of adding liberal or conservative as an adjective indicates subterfuge working in the brain. Which causes me to think this is one of those moments where you're going to try and tell me I didn't hear what I think I heard.
I disagree with that because what was said IS, in fact, what one political faction has made one of its stock in trade arguments when it comes to this particular issue. Merely to have noted that truth doesn't seem out of line.
DONALD TRUMP: When do we beat Mexico at the border?
Please consider that you're telling me that you think I have a "liberal" misreading. This implies that it's aligned in some way with a bias, as opposed to a simple misunderstanding. Would it have changed your inference to have just said I am misreading/misunderstanding what Trump said without the liberal slant applied? If not then why use it? If so, then your inference was based on a bias of your own, which you projected onto me which indicates subterfuge is active either implicitly or explicitly.
We're all interpreting his words when he speaks. The question is what interpretation is the more accurate as to what he means (the sentiments behind the words). You're not simply conveying to me that I simply mistook what he is saying when you use adjectives such as liberal to describe the mistake.
Oh of course not since he clearly said "and some, I assume, are good people". However, that's not a definitive remark which suggests to the mind that it's probable/possible they're not 100% all bad. But objectively speaking the far greater majority of sentiment is decidedly definitive that they are indeed sending the bad people intentionally, wherefore they are laughing at our stupidity.
Let me be clear, he meant "I assume some are good people" as an exception to the rule. He did not identify any people "definitively" as good people. I Also look at the context. It's obvious to me that the more time Trump would spend definitively commending the good people that Mexico is sending, the lesser the implication becomes that Mexico is our enemy who is laughing at us over beating us at the border.
I see Trump intentionally denouncing Mexico with innuendo and insinuation. Until there's proof that Mexico finds it's bad people and sends them over here with the exception of the some they got wrong, I'm not believing what he says. I'm doing the right thing by loving others as I would want to be loved. It has nothing to do with liberal/conservative.
All words are vehicles to express a sentiment, hence there is always a sentiment behind the words. I never said nor implied he didn't mean what he says.
I find his thinking to be shallow. And his sentiments indicate this.
"All words are vehicles to express a sentiment." Very well.
hmmmm...you seem to feel your opinion about something is the only right one. It's not. It is, again, simply your opinion, and you should feel free to pick it if you like. But as an aside? You might want to hold off on that whole "Christians shouldn't quote certain people" until you've told Paul the Apostle your opinion. Since he quoted several Greek playwrights and poets in his letters to various churches...the same letters that ended up in the Bible. Or to quote Saint Augustine:
