I’m a pro life fanatic. No death penalty. No abortion. No assisted suicide. I realize that my view is in the distinct minority. I pray for a day when everyone joins me in merely saying: “let everyone live”. But that’s a way down the road.
In the meanwhile, I know plenty of you for honest reasons disagree. I think your reasoning flawed, but I understand how you got to it. And I won’t condemn you for having it.
OTOH, I do not understand the Democrat position on it. I don’t know how fellow Catholics like Biden and Pelosi can go along with it: abortion on demand to the moment of birth is sheer lunacy. Psycho killers aren’t that whacked out. But there they go: supporting it.
And not just supporting it: abortion to the moment of birth is a *sacrament* for the Dems. It is so bizarre! No rational argument can be made for it. But they go around acting like “yeah; 8 months, 29 days: kill that kid! It’s good!” This is disgusting.
I don’t know when we’ll become a nation of Life: might be a long while. But we must become a nation where abortion is bad. Not good. At best a very sad and shameful thing we allow simply because we’re not sure. If we can’t get at least there then there’s something wrong with us.

For those saying Israel isn't our concern: it is. You're wrong to stand aside. This isn't just another round of the conflict. It is quite different. You have a moral obligation here as a human being.
I'll explain.
Had Hamas limited its attacks to the IDF - and they do seem to have caught the IDF with its pants down - then no matter how many soldiers they killed, it would have been completely legitimate. War. Even any civilians killed incidentally in such attacks would have been ok.
Israel still would have responded and I would be ok with them responding to such an attack. It is what you do in war. Attack. Counter-attack. So on. But this wasn't an attack on the IDF. They weren't seeking to pit strength against strength. They went out to murder.
The premise of J6 is the basic flaw of it: they are seriously asserting that Trump tried to overthrow the United States government. This *obviously* wasn't what Trump was trying to do. And to keep the absurd Narrative going, just like with Trump-Russia, all they can do is lie.
If you seriously believe there was even the hint of a thought on the part of Trump or his people that they could just muscle Trump into 4 more years, you're an idiot. The J6 people - and Trump - are patriots; they just wanted their questions answered.
You can assert all you want that 2020 was legit, but half of your own people believe otherwise. And half thinking it was cool *isn't good enough*. It has to be nearly universal acceptance of the results. To sh** on those who had questions was your horrendous mistake: not Trump's.
The resistance to MAGA is simple to describe; it is cowardice. Fear of change but far more importantly it is *fear of responsibility*. We’ve been infused with cowardice: instructed to wait for permission and that the government has to fly cover when not ordering us around.
We used to be a nation of people who took off into the West without so much as a by your leave and then did whatever the hell we wanted and then set up a government to ratify it. Now we fill out forms for permission to own not just a gun, but a car or home.
MAGA means the end of that: because a great America is an America of people with clanking brass balls doing whatever they please. This is terrifying: and those who have the widest yellow streak down their backs are fighting hardest to stop MAGA.
4 died in Benghazi and they arrested an obscure filmmaker to deflect attention from their failure.
This didn’t bother you.
They manufactured bogus evidence against Trump and the apparatus of federal law enforcement was set upon Trump and his people based on this pack of lies.
This didn’t bother you.
Various well connected Americans - including Joe Biden’s son - were given high paid, no show jobs in Ukraine in obvious exchange for influence on American policy.
They are most of them a combination of addict and insane. Most would probably reject any shelter offer and if you convinced them to take the shelter they’d rapidly destroy it. You are correct that no decent society should allow this; but are you prepared to do what’s necessary?
It isn’t going to just be spending money and building housing. You are going to have to compel these people: into the shelter you provide and in getting them off drugs, into what psych treatment they may need and then teaching them the rules of civilized life.
Being sane and civilized is not natural: it has to be taught and then enforced. These people either never were taught to be civilized or they forgot it in a fog of selfishness and excess. Bluntly: you may have to beat decency into them. Will you?
The Pro-Choice people are very much at the heart of what is wrong: greedy cowards who will destroy all as long as they think it’ll keep any sacrifice or suffering away from their door. Think about it: they want to f*** like crazed monkeys and have no consequences for it.
They want to go to school without paying for it. They want well paid jobs without earning it by years of apprenticeship. They want *their* healthcare immediate and free regardless of basic realities. They are black holes of incessant wants who want to pay no price.
Well, the price has to paid. It always has to be paid. Even God’s grace was purchased for a price, after all. God (or the universe, if you’re an unbeliever) has decreed there is no free lunch. Everything has a cost. You can push that cost to someone else, but that makes you shit.
