For shit’s sake. No one who is anti--vaccine wants anyone to die from others not getting the vaccine.

I know you like to argue but the science is clear that vaccination saves lives.  If you don’t believe that, please block me.

The vaccination also can kill someone if they are allergic to it...A true American/Christian would do everything on their power to protect another person.  Not forcing the vaccination is part of that protection

For shit’s sake. No one who is pro-vaccine wants anyone who will die from the vaccine to be forced to get it.

If vaccination can save one life that otherwise would have died, shouldn’t we get vaccinated? God, for a Christian society that should be a no-brainer.

I’m rubber you’re glue whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you… that about sim it up

Okay......give me an example of an unvaxxed killing anyone...to a degree of difference than a vaxxed killing a vaxxed.......I'll wait

I’ll keep this as simple as possible. Science/Medicine has proven that vaccination reduces the spread of the disease. A true American/Christian would do everything on their power to protect another person.  The vaccination is part of that protection.

Something like 103000 votes in Georgia.

Google search came up with a lot of stories anywhere between 87 + 106 000

Which I think could have easily been the difference from the Senate take over. When Stacey Abrams sister reinstated all those fraudulent votes.

Stories, exactly.

Purged voters don’t mean denied votes.  Each state has a method of trying to eliminate voters from the rolls.  Aren’t we trying to keep dead people from voting.  In the municipality I live in there is an action brought in Supreme Court every few years to question election results. Some are successful, typically on improper signatures on petitions, some aren’t. Every state has election law to remedy election issues.  Trump attempted to and failed in every state. I consider you a rational poster so let’s stop with the “stories” and discuss on the level of what actually takes place.

No, Barack Obama is too smart to mouth off about something like this. Stacey Abrams on the other hand is not. Just saying.

WSS

She is simply rallying her base, which is just as scary as Trump rallying his.

That has nothing to do with my statement.

WSS

I would disagree. Why would religious educators who participate outside of public schools benefit from public money? When we build bridges, the municipality will bid out contracts, every contractor doesn’t simply receive a check.

Which is true for any situation. I think Joe and his people were being called Hypocrites not you in particular.

WSS

Shit calling a politician a hypocrite is the same as saying get Earth is round.

I don't think it's a matter of not trusting science. I believe it's more a matter of actual science indecision about how vital vaccination can possibly be. And for whom.

WSS

If vaccination can save one life that otherwise would have died, shouldn’t we get vaccinated? God, for a Christian society that should be a no-brainer.

It’s only hypocrisy if you don’t condemn it, which I do and I’d think many in here would. The main difference in political opinion holders is one demographic seems incapable of condemning their narrative when it’s wrong. They embrace conspiracy theory and pivot to another talking point. There is soooo much waste in our government and it happens on both sides of the aisle. 

As does every state I would assume. Not sure how many people report their loved ones death to the local Board of Elections.

And at the end of the day of course it has nothing to do with education or betterment of the kids it has to do with bitterness against religion.

This is the only one I looked up. Maybe the Obamas and Uncle Joe have a different opinion.

WSS

I don’t think either have weighed in, even though we both know your question was rhetorical. You’re smart enough to realize this is just another fear-mongering tactic out of the Roveian playbook.

Got my Moderna Booster Monday and the same.

Religious institutions are exempt from taxes, correct? 

But they shouldn’t have to use that money to better their institutions.  There is land, houses, art, etc that needs to be purchased and of course …

You guys know I'm pro vaccine but I'm not stupid I'm pretty sure what it can and can't do. Just on balance. That being said I said without commentary on the effects of the vaccine, if it were up to you would you rather have the police firefighters EMS and medical staff on the job and worrying masks? Or do you think it's more valuable to take a hard line and enforce the mandate. And I'm not asking for commentary on the effectiveness of masks just asking.  I'm a little more curious about the guys from the progressive side.

I'll see how far this one last 

WSS

I’d rather have the mandate. I don’t put a lot of faith in those who don’t trust science. And as we are seeing the number of dropouts isn’t that high.

Get shot, move on. Pretty simple.

but feel free to spin it however you’d like

Not sure it was as much rejecting Biden’s agenda as it was the belief that Critical Race Theory is being taught in schools combined with the fear of mask mandates in schools.

Stock market is robust and consumer prices increase can be mitigated with individual decisions. Rising oil/energy prices are always a concern but one would hope that demand levels off as people spend their, “we didn’t travel during COVID nest egg”

Honest response.   Do you pay that QB 25+ a year though? 

No. You pass on extending Baker.

Said when he was drafted, hoped for the best but felt Baker wasn’t it.  Flashes of good play but too inconsistent.  Not the #1 pick in the draft.

There is no honor in it........they lie in bold print and retract on page 10.   They know anyone dumb enough to vote for a worn out tire is dumb enough to believe only the big print

Left, liberal, socialism, what other terms from the playbook are missing.

I can appreciate the retraction.  It’s refreshing to know if a lie is spoken or printed there are still people wiling to correct themselves for the sake of the truth.
