The Hypocrisy of the Religious Right

May 19, 2019 by The Staff

The religious right wants to ban all abortions. Having the State or Federal Government ban all abortions, especially those of rape or insist, should have consequences. If the Government and the religious right forces a woman to carry an unwanted baby, the Government also has the responsibility to raise that child to adulthood. That means food, shelter, clothing and education including college through age 26, until that child enters the workforce and can subsist by themselves.

What Does The Bible Teach?

The Bible teaches nothing about abortion. Read “God Is So Not Pro-Life” by Brian Bolton. ¹

Is It True That Trump Paid for Abortions?

There are rumors, too, of Trump mistresses paid to have abortions and kept quiet with non-disclosure agreements. One source tells Cockburn that there could be as many as eight such women. (Cockburn should point out that Trump has been the subject of rumors about secret abortions for years, and has admitted no such thing.) But this is more than merely sad and sordid: if any such payments were made while Trump was running for President, there could be new campaign finance violations, all felony offenses. ²

Trump Says He Will Run Towards Dispite Bone Spurs and No Military Training

February 27, 2018 by The Staff

Military Training with Assault Rifle — No Military Training

“You don’t know until you test it, but I think — I really believe I’d run in there, even if I didn’t have a weapon,” Trump said, telling the assembled governors at a recent gathering at the White House. [1]

But he will do this with bone spurs? [2] … and NO military training?

President Trump’s assertion that he would have run toward the Parkland, Fla., gunman had he been near the school would have been a bold claim for just about anybody to make. [3]
