    W.G.: I know what happened in the Bible but you must agree that MARRYING your dead brother's wife and promiscuously sleeping with your dead brother's wife are 180 degrees apart....one is commitment and one is for lust, exclusively. In the Bible, marriage is purposed bounded for reasons of procreation: there just weren't that many people around.

    Yes, its my contention that it is DISGUSTING for a man to sleep with his dead brother's wife with the reason being pure lust.....I'm not a puritan but that is pretty twisted behavior.

    I will answer this one and for the rest the viewers can decide re your mental condition.

    "What did you say to illicit the (expletive deleted) comment about inbreeding", you asked? And, "what makes you think I (V7) think it's ok", you asked?

    I said that and think you consider inbreeding ok based on your posts since you arrived here. Almost all of them are irrational, not focused, and swing wildly from topic to topic rarely giving a coherent reply. These are all marks of inbreeding so I made an assumption re your origins.

    Here's an example.

    Athos: Now why would YOU, OF ALL PEOPLE, JUST OUT OF THE CLEAR BLUE, EVOKE THE BIBLE INTO ANY CONVERSATION? For a man that hates Bible references, you certainly are quick to attempt to bring them to bear at your convenience.
    You charge me with hating Bible references. That's an excellent example of your hysteria. Anyone who has read my posts knows that is not true. In fact, I support accurate interpretations of the Good Book. When I "bring them to bear", not often, I do so never "at my convenience" but always to add to the discussion.

    Hunter Biden's ethics and conduct are irrelevant to the matter before us and that's the whistle blower, and the possibility of at least one more coming forward, and the words and actions of the dufus being an abuse of power, and any illegality of his sycophants doing his bidding.

    The dufus governs with fear and smears, aided and abetted by his hand picked yes men that completely ignore the rule of law. Our government has been taken over by a serial, career criminal and we knew that before he was elected.

    Yes, he's a liberal democrat, so his unethical behavior is irrelevant. For that matter, he could have been responsible for the deaths of four Americans, but that would be irrelevant as well. Unethical behavior only matters when you are a conservative, even if it has to be made up as in the case of Kavanaugh.

    No it only matters if you are a lying cheating dufus serving as president. That seems to be irrelevant to you since you always ignore the lawless dufus and aim for the contrived view of facts as your defense for him. He's a bully and you like it, so admit it and move on.

    Not with you. When Obama was the "lying, cheating dufus", you could not have cared less. In fact, to this day, you stare the plain truth in the face and refer to it as a "contrived view of facts". You go talk with the family members of those four dead Americans and come back with that same pathetic story and we'll talk about it.

    That's how you and I are different. I am an equal opportunity criticizer, but you only criticize those who are on the other side of the political fence. You have one set of ethics for liberal dems and an entirely different set for conservatives. That's why it's so hard to take your comments seriously.

    Quote:

    Yes. He confirmed he was dating his brother's widow prior to his divorce being finalized. Not only that, but his now ex-wife said this. "Former Vice President Joe Biden's daughter-in-law accused husband Hunter Biden — now in a relationship with his late brother's widow — of using drugs and visiting hookers in divorce papers filed last year." Now if we apply your Kavanaugh standard, then he must surely be guilty since, after all, she made the allegation.

    I don't know about Biden, but BC was a liar and cheater too, and was IMPEACHED for it rather than dismissing it all together like repubs have done, and that's after ignoring and dismissing his scams against old folks and consumers that was already known. Obviously repubs and the right weren't interested in morality when the elected the dufus. Continued support of this moral less liar and cheater is condone that immorality you aren't okay with.

    Nothing personal, V7. (How could it be otherwise on an anonymous website). It was an assumption. I assume all Trump supporters are inbred. The political Republicans however are motivated by job security. They know if they follow their better selves condemning Trump, they will lose their livelihood. Money is paramount to Republicans. Far ahead of any principle which they may hold in the lurch.

    He was a liberal dem, so you like him. He was a great promoter of abortion. He was against gay marriage until, of course, it became political profitable to be in favor of it. He completely failed at Benghazi and then orchestrated a campaign of lying about it. His AG met secretly with BC about HC when she was under investigation and he did nothing about it. He had a scandal in the VA and another in the IRS. He did nothing about those as well. He never had anything more than mediocre economic growth and doubled the national debt. Yeah, he was just your basic great guy.

    You liked his policies and I get that, but to suggest that he was a model of ethical behavior is really stretching it.

    There was no cover up just right wing loony lies that were blown out of the water by later OFFICIAL investigations and how easily you dismiss Obama's Monday after Rose Garden address that set the record straight. That's the problem with preliminary reports that fatal week end, nobody had a grasp of the full facts because in truth the entire diplomatic corps across the globe was on full high alert. While four lives were tragically lost in the attack on the consulate you totally dismiss the efforts of the 25 to 30 who were later rescued, who fended off that attack.

    Holding a grudge over a terrorist attack is almost as bad as blaming the victims and not the attackers, but of course you aren't interested in facts or truth just your own contrived narrative which I consistently REJECT!

    It does serve as an example of you being GROSSLY misinformed. I have plenty more so keep it up!

    It's never been a question of who likes whom. It's about right and wrong.

    Every position you've expressed about Obama and/or H Clinton has been a right-wing talking point. Talinman has taken you to task on every one with the facts, yet you continue to spew the falsehoods. The truth is easily available in this world of instant knowledge but you refuse to see it.

    When you insist on comparing a proven liar and incompetent like Trump with Obama, you lose any credibility you might have started with. Whether current events or the Bible verse re life after death you are stuck in a morass of your own devices.

    The great majority of us who abhor Trump will never understand how the likes of you can continue to support him even after three of the most disastrous years in the American presidency. It's a sad mystery.

    No facts. No new information. Just a fantasy land appeal to some supposed intervention by someone else. Oh well.

    As to supporting Trump, I have repeatedly stated that I do not care for his big mouth and bombastic politics. When you liberal dems come up with someone better than HC, JB, or EW, then you can possibly complain and be taken seriously.
