    It was abuse of power when SCOTUS discovered a right to abortion in the Constitution and the left has used their power top throw up roadblocks to every Trump initiative. Not all use of power is abuse, power is what it is. Come for my guns come a shootin'.

    There is no such thing.
    I have never heard about Affirmative Actions (special privileges) for religious people.

    Other areas too, Good for pre-law. Degrees are what you make of them. My cousin took Art History and now makes 6 figures as an appraiser.

    If Churches were taxed we could pay the National Debt and give everyone free college and healthcare besides.

    His base is 38 to 42 percent, that has never changed. You are purely delusional if you think any blacks beside those he pays to come to his rallies like him

    "a variety of sources" Whatever RW Blogs catch your eye,

    You realize communism hasn't existed since the 1970's, don't you? You guys all act as if the Coen Bros movie "Hail Caesar" is a documentary of the present day

    Alek, the statements in your post show where the delusion lies. AND where the divide lies and why.

    Churches is not equal to individuals.
    Some businesses also have many exemptions.

    The main point of special unconstitutional privileges is to pit people against each other, so government can successfully enslave whole population.

    I read other things, those are the ones I follow faithfully. One of those others is the Guardian, one of the few Newspapers I never had any professor in college give me trouble for using as a source..

    Censored news and approved by the Leftist in the academy.. yeah.. gotcha.
    BTW I read the Guardian too, seems they don't censor news from elsewhere near as much... they have to put their spin on the news of the day.

    I live in Los Angeles where the second amendment has eroded to the point of only judges, cops and criminals carrying guns here. Your opinion stops where her uterus starts.

    Religious people can legally point their righteous finger at a gay person and say "We don't serve your kind here!" This cannot be done to them. They currently enjoy preferred citizenship.

    No, my opinion is mine and I'm happy to share it with you as a counter to your nonsense. It only ends when I change it which is unlikely to happen from any discussions so far.

    A cheap shot is not a counter. The question is if we should be forcing your opinion on others through laws.

    Tax free churches. In Colorado it got to be a problem because religious groups were buying up land for retreats. Because they were not paying property taxes, the local counties suffered.
