So first it was saying “murder” as many times as you could hoping to wear us down, and now you’re claiming that restrictions on abortion are a violation of religious liberty? I’m starting to wonder why I ever bothered responding to your posts.

So it isn’t murder?

But big corporations need tax breaks to support their managers’ and high-level executives’ lavish lifestyles. Mom-and-pop small businesses don’t need tax breaks because their owners don’t have such big expenses. Now doesn’t that make sense?

No. It does not. I guess that you are probably joking. Disparity in wages has been increasing. See: U.S. income inequality, on rise for decades, is now highest since 1928

California mayor bans Trump from campaigning in her city
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump may want to avoid West Hollywood when he campaigns in California ahead of the state’s potentially decisive June 7 primary. Lindsey Horvath, the mayor of West Hollywood, Calif., which is located in the heart of Los Angeles County and home to a sizable population of gay men, penned a letter to Trump this week explaining that he is unwelcome in her city.
“With the primary making its way to California, as West Hollywood’s Mayor, I want to make very clear that your campaign of violence and intimidation is not welcome in our City,” she wrote in the letter.
“From mocking people living with disabilities to classifying entire ethnicities as violent criminals to persecuting specific religious communities, Trump has pursued headlines in this election season with reckless abandon,” Horvath later explained in an op-ed for the Advocate.

My theory is that if one taxable entity has a tax break that all do not have, it is welfare. My other theory is that just because it is legal does not make it moral or right (much like abortion is legal).

Which tax break exists which is only available for one entity and not available for all? Please be specific.

What most people think of as corporate welfare (money paid to subsidize something) is NOT what the left is calling corporate welfare. The left calls any tax deduction a form of corporate welfare, even normal deductions such as depreciation and amortization. It’s a bunch of hooey and cherry-picked stats with no basis in reality.

"A spokesman for Donald Trump told CNN’s The Situation Room host, Wolf Blitzer, that the planned border wall will help Mexicans deal with their own political problems, instead of exporting them to the United States.

“The only path to prosperity for Mexico is to create the conditions where the Mexican government has to produce stable conditions for their own people, not to rely on taking jobs and wages from Americans and shipping them back home,” Trump policy adviser Stephen Miller told Blitzer."
Fully agreed.
 
Maybe so. But the strong fortifications of the Maginot line stopped well short of the Belgian border. The Germans bypassed the strong part, going mostly through the Belgian Ardennes. A barrier line with gaps is no barrier at all, which is exactly what the U.S. has with Mexico right now. History records that the Germans did not attack the well-fortified part of the Maginot line at all.

I am not referencing anyone here, but in general, I don’t think the pro-life movement really cares about the life of the unborn. If they did, they would be outraged at the women who choose to murder their unborn child, and they would have other causes. Pro-life, to me, means caring about a person from birth to natural death.

I also think the pro-life movement, if sincere, would be attempting to bring the message of the sanctity of life to the public. They aren’t.

You don’t think the pro-life movement really cares about the life of the unborn.

You also think the pro-life movement has questionable sincerity, and are not bringing a message of the sanctity of life to the public.

Have I got that right? Its really difficult to understand how you can present two sides of a coin in one flip! Perhaps the inclination to disregard psychobabble disguised as Catholic theology is the correct conclusion.

Trump makes himself available for interviews with all the networks. The other candidates do not-especially Sanders and Clinton

I think the scarcity of Clinton is a good thing and is most likely caused by her need to avoid hard questions! Sanders just isn’t that interesting.

C’mon. That’s not fair to Bernie! Bernie Sanders is a classic “period piece”, like a 1970s shag rug or a Beatles haircut. As such, he’s interesting for at least five minutes. 🙂

Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani said he’s voting for fellow New Yorker Donald Trump for president in the April 19 Republican primary.

“I support Trump. I’m gonna vote for Trump,” Giuliani told The Post Thursday.

Giuliani said he expects Trump will get more than 50 percent of the statewide vote and amass a lion’s share of New York’s 95 delegates.
Go NY!

Always mostly liked the good mayor. Wish he wasn’t pro-abortion.😦

Being compared to a shag rug = priceless.
