Are Democrats Attacking Amy Coney Barrett’s Religion And Family?

[Checkerboard Strangler]

......

You love Trump! That means you ARE OKAY with all of it "happening here", and that does include theocracy.
Act all offended if you want, be pissed off all you like, but if you support reelecting Trump you WILL GET theocracy.
You will GET authoritarian fascist theocracy.
That's the meaning behind THIS:

Like it or not, Josie, pretty much every pastor and minister in that picture is a theocrat.
Can you name them? Because I can.
These people are confirmed as being in favor of BIBLICAL LAW being the cornerstone of our legislative and judicial institutions.
They are dominionists and dominionism does not mix with democracy, at all.
So yes, you...a Trump supporter ARE in favor of theocracy, whether you admit it or not, whether you know it or not.
Reelecting Trump is a lead pipe cinch that we will wind up with "officially approved religions", an "official state religion" and religious law being the basis for the way we run this country.

You love Trump!

Quote me ever saying that. I can give you numerous quotes of me saying the exact opposite.

....

The rest of your post was just babbling conspiracy theories that have nothing to do with me.

I await you proving that I love Trump and I want a theocracy.

That's me. And, yes, I had healthcare (and so did you and everyone else) before Obamacare and we'll have it if Obamacare ever goes away. Obamacare isn't healthcare.

As I suspected, which means you don't know diddly squat about the healthcare issue.
Healthcare AS IT EXISTED prior to Obamacare was a series of exploding cigars but since you've always been healthy, you don't understand that.
And...just as it was prior to the ACA, my son WILL NOT HAVE health insurance once again.
He was born with five major heart defects, would you like to hear the list?
My wife is only alive today because of the VA, which Trump ALSO intends to render unusable (PRIVATIZED) and which you also don't know diddly squat about.
You're a teacher, try LEARNING about this before you spout off.
And no, it's not my job to teach you.

Hey, I don't have ANY problem admitting I am wrong.
If you're not going to vote for Trump I will cheerfully retract, right here.

As for the CT charge however, this is where you seem ignorant.
Just because you don't understand theocracy and who these people are, doesn't mean this is an unknowable thing, it means YOU don't know about it.

Pastor Jack Graham, Ralph Reed, Rev. Johnnie Moore, Paula White, Robert Jeffress, Harry R. Jackson Jr., Tom Mullins.
I can name MOST of them.

Well, you said it right this time --- it's health insurance, not healthcare.

I've said it a million times on here. I never voted for him and I won't vote for him. I find him despicable.

No one is for ending healthcare.

You are wrong. I can name 18 States that are bringing their case before the Supreme Court to do precisely that - to end the Affordable Care Act of 2010, permanently.

I've ALWAYS said it right.
The entire reason I am a political junkie at all is because of healthcare and health insurance.
I am married to a 100% service connected disabled Navy veteran who has MS and was exposed to nuclear ionizing radiation in the Navy and I have a disabled son. And my own health is poor.

Nobody says that Obamacare is healthcare except idiots.
We do HAVE some of the best healthcare in the world.
Even critics say that our healthcare is at least a very good Chevy.
We also pay Lamborghini prices for insurance but prior to ACA, it was more like Ferrari.
Ferrari decides who is allowed to buy their cars.
Some are barred from ever buying one new, because Ferrari just arbitrarily puts them on the no-goodnik list.

Then my profuse apology is in order.
I am sorry that I misjudged your views on Trump, it's my fault for not paying closer attention.

Tank the Dog says "sorry" too.

That's not ending healthcare, but government-controlled health insurance.

Hey, if the insurance industry would stop their darwinian games, Uncle Sam wouldn't have to step in.
If you can't get insurance, you can't get healthcare, simple as that.
My wife just had her ninth lithotripsy procedure, that's where they cram a laser and ultrasonic tool all the way up her hoo-ha till it reaches her kidney and they explode all the stones and clean them out.
She checked in with 4 percent kidney function and severe sepsis, and she only HAS one kidney.
In the private sector we're looking at seventy seven thousand bucks with no insurance.
Outside of the VA she IS uninsurable, or WAS because we tried.
She left the Navy in 1988 but she had no idea she qualified for VA care.
I was the one who dragged her there in 2001.
I am not the veteran, I am the six foot growth attached to the veteran.
Mind if we borrow a hundred thousand?

According to the mentally-deranged national socialist Democrats, ending government-controlled healthcare is ending healthcare. According to them healthcare can't exist without government's absolute control.

And...just as it was prior to the ACA, my son WILL NOT HAVE health insurance once again.

Seems fairly clear she meant "no one's taking my health care away." Too bad for the 20+ million who will have their access to health care immediately yanked and the millions more whose pre-existing conditions will impact their access for the rest of their lives, best of luck.

A 'libertarian - right' position if ever there was one!

I run into that all the time....ALL the time.
"My healthcare works, so I don't see any problem"

Get this:
My older brother is a real estate guy, apparently one with a pretty good reputation.
He was wonderful in helping US score a really big house at a ridiculously low price.

And then, when we began to remodel for handicap accessibility, we made the mistake of trusting his expertise in that, too.
Just ONE item which has made me climb the walls, but believe me, there are MORE:

The tiles in the master bathroom



They are very rough textured and specially "honeycombed" almost like the kind you would see in a subway station, and equally impossible to keep clean. Not joking, you could pour the strongest solution you can find on there and you'd still be scrubbing furiously for half an hour to clean that floor, the dirt just latches onto the texture of those stupid tiles like you wouldn't believe.

Not only did he fight us tooth and nail, he even went behind our back and made sure we got those tiles.
And why? He was sure he was helping us because they were especially "grippy" so that Karen would never fall in the bathroom.
Except one minor detail...Karen has neither stood nor walked on her own in twenty years. She uses that shower chair in the background.
So preventing her from falling is not an issue except as it pertains to her falling out of her chair!
But I could not get my idiot brother to understand that because he does not listen!

And that is how discussing healthcare works with far too many conservatives, unfortunately.
They act like my brother who thinks he knows best when in reality he doesn't have a clue as to what the other person's situation is. And if it's not affecting him directly, he doesn't listen because he doesn't care.
