WHEN IS A NEW LIFE A LIFE-THE BIBLE'S DECLARATION

Man is NOT ALIVE until he/she takes their FIRST BREATH. It's in the Bible. It must be true. Or is this one of the vast, brobdingnagian, immense quotes from the Bible they simply choose to ignore, since it doesn't fit their purpose. 

(Right-winger) "I know what I believe, and I believe in the Bible as written by God."
(Interviewer) "All of it?"
(RW) "Yes. It's the Gospel." 
(Int) " What about working on the Sabbath?"
(RW) "Well...uh,.. that's hard. We have to work."
(Int) "But the Bible says your neighbor is allowed to kill you."
(RW) "They wouldn't do that." 
(Int) "Why? It's in the Bible?"
(RW) "Oh, you liberals always say these things. Ha ha ha."
(Int) "So, if it's in the Bible, it's not always true."
(RW) "Well, yes. I mean, no, I mean, God gave us free will."
(Int) "Oh, so you can pick and choose which parts you'll believe in and which you'll ignore?"
(RW)" Oh, no. The Bible is sacrosanct." 
(Int) "OK. The Bible says life begins when man takes his first breath?"
(RW) "Right...?"
(Int) "You say, ignoring God AND the Bible, that life begins at conception."
(RW) "That's true."
(Int) "Well, which is it, first breath or conception?"

(RW) (walking away) "Oh you liberals, ha, ha, ha. You're so funny."

Education is the key to civility

Republicans have been in a “war” against public education for many decades; invariably against funding to support America’s most vital institution(s).  Techniques are to oppose state and Federal  initiatives to decrease taxes spent to support public schooling in states under their control; encourage charter schools owned by wealthy, private Republican donors; supporting anti-education individuals to “run” the State and Federal systems (DeVoss?); allow absurd tuition increases; closing schools in desperately needed areas; cutting educators’ salaries; lacking raises, pensions,  maintenance, supply, extracurricular activities, new books and supportive materials; and, much more. They profess their “support” of education; even falsely claiming to be the “party of education.” This includes K-12, H.S. and College/University levels.  Schoolbooks, such as those produced primarily by the Texas Republican State Board of Education, deny mention of significant historic...
I still have some people - not many - who support trump, as it turns out. Even those of my persuasion. They think trump is good for the U.S. because he supports Israel. I agree, that's great. And, despite what trump created with Obama's being a Muslim, born in Kenya, even Obama was supportive of Israel. Netanyahu was rude to Obama, even during the campaign which people forget about, and still, Obama was kind a respectful.  AGAIN, I say, trump's decision to back out of the Iranian deal would allow Iran to return to their Nuclear dreams, which is NOT good for Israel or the U.S. They would firstTHREATEN Israel often and Blackmail the U.S. That is common sense when you take time to think about it.

Trump is now somehow a religious idol

Some religious fanatics have officially gone bonkers. The far right have been pushing a meme for several years now that the amoral creature, conman, egomaniac, and bad person in the WH “has been sent by God to be ‘a vessel for the purposes of the faithful’ in the role of King of the United States of America,” according to Katherine Stewart.  A firefighter picks up a Bible in a moment of revelation and automatically turns to Isaiah 45. Agent Orange is also number 45. Coincidence? I think so. This disclosure is because Cyrus in Isaiah 45, is “saved” and becomes Emperor of Babylon, freeing the Jews. These Christian Nationalists, no relation to the saner version of ages past, believe the adulterer, misogynist, oaf in the White House, who is encouraging them, will save humanity.  Tony Perkins, Ralph Drollinger and V.P Mike Pence support it, as well. Deport them.
