    LOL. Now that's funny. OK, so you're saying that the right can discriminate on situational occasions.

    yes, the taxpayers fund the faith based activities... but the question is not, are we getting good works, but are we getting as much good works as the tax payers are paying for, doesn't sound like it

    heck, it's hard to find what good works faith based initiative even funds - the churches sure are not giving the tax payers any credit for those good works

    You can't have a law against discriminating based on race and then turn right around and violate the very law you claim to be for.

    The whole purpose behind the faith based non profit’s initiative was to get more bang for the buck than before. It’s a much more efficient and effective method than before when government could only support secular non profits in rendering aid to those in need for whatever reason. Faith based charities were already doing commendable and great works in alleviating human suffering. They are much better at getting small dollar amounts to their most effective use. Federal money a charity receives has to be spent on providing the designated services to people. Religious people give more to charity and religious charities are very accountable for the money they receive and are effective at what they do.

    Well, then we're right back where we started, allowing the right to discriminate on a situational basis.

    it was to take tax payer money and give it to the church so they could claim the credit - as their members were not donating enough

    "When a religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and God does not take care to support it so that its professors are obliged to call for help of the civil power, 'tis a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one.
    - Benjamin Franklin: in letter to Richard Price, October 9, 1780"

    One of the legacy of Trump - a constitutionalist supreme court

    sadly, so many ignorant people out there

    even on the abortion topic, the supreme court didn’t abolish abortions, just left it to the states to decide, the way it should be. There is no right or wrong here.. killing an unborn is not good and neither is preventing an abortion for good reason like life of mother at risk.


    The recent rulings are are consistent with our founding principles. We should not combant racism with racism, we should base things on merit and be colorblind. I have yet to hear a leftist tell me why this is wrong

    The debt ruling is not what left makes it out to be. The supreme court was’t against forgiving student debt, they just want that decision to be handled by congress, not by one man ruling as dictator. Why doesn’t congress act?

    the left lies about these rulings, they spread misinformation

    There is a dark truth. Many know how incredible Unites States is. It is truly the only multi-cultural superpower. Any recent black presidents in france, spain, uk? The US is the most diverse, democratic and successful nation in history. Sadly, many want to attack founding principles and erase it’s history simply because they didn’t participate in crafting this masterpiece of a country. Also, some haven’t been able to succeed, despite being given the chance, albeit some have it harder than others. These people want to blame others. This is the many on the left today.

    RvW told the states that they can't take away a woman's right to abortion, the SC just now said that the states CAN take away a woman's right to abortion.

    If one side gets to do situational discrimination then so does the other.

    The only way to think it is is to mistake individuals who share a race for each other, which is itself racist.

    Afirmative action is restitution for the years of suffering caused by jim crow laws, not racism.

    It is pretend restitution. And yes, it is racism.

    While the Left of JFK/RFK absolutely favored freedom, the folks who control the DNC today seem more inclinded to authoritarianism and grift.

    Judge Halts Biden Student Debt Rule

    'the rule unconstitutionally gives an executive branch agency, the Department of Education, what amounts to the power of a court in deciding whether to grant claims for debt relief.'

    Bribed Biden's way better at collecting bribes than he is remaining within constitutionalism.

    There is no creator. There is only creativity.

    There are no 'God given' rights, there are only those endowed by law, limited by law.

    To believe otherwise is philosophical fantasy.

    That's rich given that the guy repubs support is the biggest grifter of all time, conman, fraudster, pervert and criminal.
    These RICH repubs had their PPP Loans forgiven, and they opposed Biden's loan forgiveness to poor students

    HYPOCRITES!
