The left spins, the right pivots…both are jaded, and anyone claiming one is more righteous than the other is either guilty of spinning or pivoting themselves.

Not entirely true. I would say any political party that puts abortion rights in its platform has a severely lesser claim to “righteousness” than one that does not.
 
Back to Ryan. He actually did propose more than one entirely sane budget. But he just couldn’t get them passed. I imagine he’ll become a lobbyist for someone or other.

LOL Yeah because throwing the gospel out after birth is somehow righteous?
 
Or maybe, just maybe, he may be doing it for the reasons he stated.

Christine Weidhaas This tired meme has been put to rest long ago. Check out https://ourladysinn.org/, http://www.svdpusa.org/,https://birthrightstl.org/,http://thrivestlouis.org/. These are just a few of the many agencies that help poor women and their babies choose life.

The president signed legislation — passed under the Congressional Review Act — that allowed states to remove Title X funding from Planned Parenthood over its provision of abortion. Under the Trump administration, the Justice Department announced that it is formally investigating the abortion group for possible involvement in the illegal fetal-tissue-trafficking industry.
Like every Republican president since Ronald Reagan, Trump reinstated the largely popular Mexico City policy, which denies U.S. aid money to any international group that funds or promotes abortion. But he took the policy a step further, expanding it to cover nearly all U.S. foreign health spending, not just family-planning funds. The administration also moved to defund the United Nations Population Fund on similar grounds.
The Trump administration drastically expanded the religious and conscience exemption to the Health and Human Services Department’s contraception mandate, which had been added to the Affordable Care Act to require that employers provide employees with subsidized birth control. This exemption enabled religious employers, such as the Little Sisters of the Poor — an order of charitable Catholic nuns — to avoid paying for abortifacient drugs, among other contraceptives.
In rhetoric, too, the White House has been outspokenly pro-life. Vice President Mike Pence addressed the 2017 March for Life, making him the highest-ranking presidential-administration official ever to speak at the event. The president voiced his willingness to help in the case of Charlie Gard, the terminally ill infant in the U.K. whose parents wished to obtain further care for him in the U.S. rather than take him off of life support at the command of his doctors.
And Trump expressed a willingness to sign the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act if it were passed by Congress. The bill would ban abortions nationwide after 20-weeks’ gestation based on research showing unborn children have the capacity to feel pain at that age. The bill passed the House in the fall but stalled in the Senate.
Appointed pro-life Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch.
 
The Church indeed does good works, but right wingers tpically are only pro birth and not pro life, hence the Holy Father’s statement on Health Care.

“Right wingers” also give more time, money, and talent to charitable works.

The columnist George Will found several other striking metrics that underscore this point:
Although liberal families’ incomes average 6 percent higher than those of conservative families, conservative-headed households give, on average, 30 percent more to charity than the average liberal-headed household ($1,600 per year vs. $1,227).
People who reject the idea that “government has a responsibility to reduce income inequality” give an average of four times more than people who accept that proposition.
Conservatives also donate more time and give more blood.

So it’s more righteous that millions of children be killed deliberately and 30 million not have guaranteed healthcare than that no children be killed deliberately and 30 million not have guaranteed healthcare.

And you think the Holy Father endorses that?

No surprise to that. Zuckerberg is a Democrat.
It was in response to a comment on an NPR article. I got tired of the same lazy regurgitations. Conservatives are meanies and step on puppy dog tails. 😭 The posts each disappeared within seconds. I asked the commenter why he kept reporting me. He said he didn’t. I was amazed at how quickly the posts disappeared.

Of course FB can do what it wants. I also have no expectation of privacy there.
