"A "criminal" means someone that has been convicted of a crime in a court of law."
Actually, the legal definition I see is "A criminal is someone who has violated the law, either through an act or omission, and is subject to legal prosecution." But, we all know definitions vary based on where you find it so I wouldn't bet on any of them.
"Republicans have held these attitudes towards the poor since Nixon."
The fact liberals have such a hard time using good logic is astounding. When multiple liberal states have had liberal politicians create laws that disadvantage the homeless, basically moving them around like rats, your argument is invalid. Liberal states have actually created harsher laws than Con states when it comes to the poor, look it up. It's because the rich liberals in those states do everything they can to ensure homeless NIMBY away from their location. Sure, Reps aren't innocent because their laws are basically to just remove the homeless to somewhere else, which is also a nonsolution. But your illogical description of Reps for not liking homeless has no basis in reality and it never has. If you believe otherwise, then you have to accept that your argument also applies to liberals beyond any contestation.
"I'd like to ask BOAZ; why all the animosity toward immigrants when we all know we are descndents of immigrants?"
Fair enough and I'll give a rebuttal (not sure if Boaz already has). Now let me ask you, how come when people started asking liberals to take in illegal immigrants to get rid of the stress on the government they balked and came up with all kinds of reasons? Using your logic, one could easily also incorrectly then ask you why all the animosity toward immigrants. How come when illegals get shipped to liberal playgrounds like Martha's then liberals get mad about it and whine and cry? How come this happens in multiple "sanctuary" locations. And you can't say it's because they weren't prepared...because then you are parroting Reps entire issue with illegal immigrants in the first place.
It truly only takes a tiny amount of thought to not be a hypocrite. It takes a little more effort to be objective. But I promise you that doing both will make your life so much more fulfilling and allow you to understand all sides to a problem and stop thinking your narrative is the only right one.
We are only cutting Medicare for those who aren't making any effort to be a productive member of society.
We cut USAID because this country is in $35t debt.
The average person is getting the same tax breaks as the rich, and the math proves this demonstrably.
The Bible talks extensively about stewardship as a core principle. Meaning people who do not make effort to be productive and responsible members of society are not Godly. Liberals want to protect everyone who gives no effort. Which means the only people who aren't being Christian in America are liberals who try to be missionaries to spread the word that everyone in America who wants to be a burden on society should be treated better than anyone else.
Now, whether or not being Christian is good or bad is not the question. Personally, I hate that religion is even brought up when it comes to politics. Christianity, like the 21st century liberal party, has been taken over by hypocrites. But hypocrisy doesn't prove America isn't a Christian country. For better or worse, it most definitely is if you take out absurd partisan narratives.
