    Hero worship is silly. Next thing you know an artist will create a Messianic portrait and start selling T-shirts and stuff.

    The most surprising word in that is "if".

    Nah, they'll still use it. And when it's pointed out to them, they'll just say that was in the past, or that it never happened.

    Abortion can be chosen for any reason but not reasons deemed "bad" by the legislature the same way that you can fire someone for any reason except those deemed "bad" by the legislature (race etc.).

    I try (sometimes more successfully than others) to assume good intentions on the part of those I disagree with, but you sure do make it difficult.

    I'll ignore your personal judgments.

    You are seriously taking the position that the 2017 Tax Bill does not take money away from people? I respectfully disagree. There is a $1.5B transfer from those not in the top 1% (99%) to the those in the top 1%. Who is going to pay for the loss in tax revenues? The 99%.

    Brainwashing? I'd ask you be truthful first.

    There are real consequences here in the tax cuts. If this was simply a reduction in the tax rate, okay. But no, included are changes to tax deductions that INCREASE taxes for people. That's what I'm relying on.

    What is your basis for saying that people are getting not less, but more? More specifically, the 99% not top 1%?

    Sorry, but I can't resist giving a response to car analogies. It's admittedly a character flaw for me.

    The problem, though, is that you can build a case with evidence to cover yourself against a "bad" firing. How do you build a case with evidence to prevent an abortion for a specific reason?

    Unless she posts on Facebook or something else, how do you prove her intentions?

    Do you not have to take math to get a law degree?

    Is it possible to not support the political state of Israel or at least occasionally criticize the political state of Israel while not being an anti-Semite?

    Or to not be an anti-Semite, one must side pro-Israel in all instances?

    Yeah, Trump would never do that.

    No! You’re an anti-Semite if you are not in lockstep agreement with Bibi Netanyahu.
