I love this. People always think they're right and will say that you're wrong, but not actually present any arguments. I feel my arguments were...
That's what I'd like to know!

But it has nothing to do with ethical. I mean, it can if you want it to but it's the law, signed by Ronald Reagan. I don't think it's really worth...
I don't think that lesson will sink in. I don't think leftists are learning anything about the dangers of a strong, active government under Trump....
I love that you think the number one priority in politics is the "abolition of progressivism" yet what is the heart of progressivism? Individuals...
I love that you want As I'm sure you know, it's been law for decades that hospitals cannot refuse patients. I'm not sure that it has anything to...
Except the rest of us lose while you guys violate the Fourth Amendment and for some reason believe it all "cancels out." I don't want the state...
