  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Here's a map showing all the nations in which God is mentioned in their constitutions. Interestingly the United States isn't among them.

View attachment 374588
Our Declaration of Independence is our foundational document, the Constitution is the framework. The old Soviet Union Constitution (1936) is even more impressive for supposed rights of the people than is ours, the difference in result is because they were a Godless nation.:

Hmmm, I would've guessed that it had more to do with capitalism than God.

He is pro life and has ended a lot of the perverse things that Biden, a supposed Catholic supported.

Remember when Biden’s own church refused to give him communion?
Trump isn't pro life. He makes that plain..

Simple AI search

Donald Trump has frequently described himself as pro-life, particularly during his presidency and campaigns, while emphasizing exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother. Here are some notable quotes reflecting his pro-life stance:

  • "I am pro-life." (Repeated in various contexts, including a 2011 CPAC speech and interviews around his 2016 campaign shift from earlier pro-choice views.)
  • "I'm proud to be the most pro-life president." (Stated at events like the Faith & Freedom Coalition Gala, crediting his Supreme Court appointments for overturning Roe v. Wade.)
  • From his 2020 March for Life speech (the first by a sitting president): "We’re here for a very simple reason: to defend the right of every child, born and unborn, to fulfill their God-given potential."
  • In a 2019 tweet thread: "I am, and have been, strongly Pro-Life, with the three exceptions — Rape, Incest and protecting the Life of the mother — the same position taken by Ronald Reagan."

Trump claims many things but that doesn't mean that he is correct. He isn't against abortion, he wants the states to decide if abortion us legal or not. He doesn't respect life. He has no problem killing those he doesn't like. He demeans poor people from third world countries. I could go on, but he is definitely not pro life.

It is amazing that the religious right chose him of all people.

We don't get good margarine commercials like those anymore.

-- A2SG, sad fact of our reality....

There was a time when commercials were so good that people actually watched them. Now we only have the super bowl, and even those are hit or miss.
I long for the 70s and 80s.

You know what I ordered recently? The DVD of the complete series of Snoop Sisters. Man, that was a fun show. Not as good maybe as the two best NBC Mystery Movie series (Banacek and McMillan and Wife, of course), but very fun. Much too short a run, though, only 5 episodes.

-- A2SG, there's an old Polish proverb.....

How many of your ‘examples’ of Trump being pro-life are actually him claiming to be pro-life and nothing else?

It’s like all these ‘peace deals’ he claims to have brokered; which one’s are actual real deals and not just empty words.

He was better than anyone on the left had to offer.

As opposed to what?

Silly me! - The leaders of two nations at war appear publicly, sign a peace agreement and BOTH thank the US President for his role in bringing them together.

And I am supposed to think they are lying - I wish someone would have told me. Why do you think all these world leaders are lying?

Which two nations?

Abe: not directly to you AIHP; what’s up with the site recently? It’s slower than a dog with no legs.

Abe2: my complicated InfoSpace software tells me it’s Cloudflare again. That rascal.

Abe3: edited for clarity
