Because with the way Trump is acting he certainly isn't running for President of the United States of America.

That's mitigated by the fact both John McCain and Mitt Romney are honorable men. I don't like the things they do as Republicans, but they're decent people. Donald Trump, however, is the most disreputable, disgusting, reprehensible piece of shit ever to find his way to a general election ballot. Fucking NIXON wasn't this bad. James Traficant and Huey Long weren't this bad. Most of the population of Alcatraz wasn't this bad. And Trump's surrogates are worse than he is.

The story about Rahab is found in Joshua, chapter 2. Moses has died and Joshua was chosen to be the new leader of the Israelites. He was the one to lead them into the Promised Land. They would have to cross over the Jordan River and take the land God had promised their forefathers. The first city in their path was Jericho. It had very high, thick walls around it, so Joshua sent two men to spy out the land before they would plan to proceed.

“So they went, and came to the house of a harlot named Rahab, and lodged there.” (v.1) This story is used a lot to point out that God can even use someone like a prostitute for His purposes.

Since they did not use birth control in those days, it could be why abortion is not mentioned. It was probably accepted then as ordinary. What with God using harlots and all.

This is one of those trained from birth women who has it beaten in her head that the mans word is the only word. She was probably the one who taught her kids the oral office but would not admit it. This frightens me.

Then she turns right around and slams the morals of BC?! WTF?

So why is what Bill Clinton allegedly did or didn't do 2 plus decades ago so damn important to these Trump enablers?

He's not even running for anything!

And why are these pro-birth people ready, willing and able to let a poor child starve to death after birth? To die or be crippled for life because of a lack of health care? All the compassion in the world for a 60 years old 3 times married cheating SOB billionaire who pays zero taxes who "tried like a bitch" to force somebody elses wife into sex with him by "grabbing her pussy"!

Poor innocent kid though?? Fuck off and die child!

Why are the OK with gay or trans kids being bullied in school till they take their own life in despair because of so-called "religious freedom"?

Where the fuck is your great compassion then lady??? Trump is a hitler, he makes no bones over what he believes in and these religious right heretics want him in to force their perversion of Christianity down our throats by force of law!

These people are a massive threat to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

These people are dangerous as hell!

All democrats better wake the fuck up right now and make damn sure everyone you know that isn't a brainwashed dominunist republican theocrat gets their butt down to the polls and votes for the freedom to live your life the way you see fit!

IOW Hillary and every other democrat on the ballot!

Sometimes I picture people like her doing this to only to impress friends/family: "Hey! How'd I do?" Or a sibling rivalry situation: "See ma? I'm successful!"
It's very odd, indeed. They are all over the frigging place with their beliefs. And if you question them, they just throw out phrases they've been told to say.

To a great extent I think Fox News is hugely responsible for this. Right wing radio was the lead in from previous generations but it really got bad when Fox News came along, and right wing social media, and now its just blowing up.

and ridicule these stupid religious beliefs? Last I looked, we're supposed respect a person's right to believe what they will. That doesn't mean we need to respect the thing they believe.

Christian beliefs, the Bible, etc - childish bullshit that obviously serves as nothing more than an excuse for people to justify their own prejudices and stupidities. We should be shouting these people down and laughing at their stupidities. But, no, it's fucking religion, so we need to look down at our shoe tops and shuffle our feet while we mumble something about people being entitled to their beliefs.

And then they go out and vote for a facist like Trump because their fucking imaginary god told them to.

care about babies being killed or dismembered. It's such a fucking sick misrepresentation of the pro-choice position, and these people are completely sold on this idea that Democrats/liberals are baby killers. This totally animates them above almost everything else and it is so insane. They are really really fucked up in the head.
