"We’ve got to get justice in this country and we cannot allow these killings to continue."

Rather sad that she has no concern whatsoever for the thousands of black people killed every year by other black people. It's not politically appealing, so she says nothing about it, just like the liberal dems on this board say nothing about it. She has no concern about the hundreds of black children killed in abortion DAILY and, in fact, celebrates it.

"Strain out a gnat and swallow a camel."

[paraclete]

You certainly swallowed that camel, but why single out black people?

[waltero]

but why single out black people?

Because Black lives Matter, man!
It's all about 'Black lives'...you fail to recognize.

[Wondergirl]

Is this Maxine Waters openly calling for violence?

Pretend you have the very rare anemia called aplastic anemia, JL. You're in the ICU, getting your first transfusion. I'm your hematologist and say, "I'm going to fight for you, JL! We will do our best to get you feeling better and back home!"

Do you see a gun in my hands? Am I pulling the medical staff together to commit violence?

but why single out black people?

They've been singled out and denigrated since the first slave ship left Africa for America in the early 1600s. After centuries of being told you don't matter, you believe it and don't care about yourself or anyone else.

Huh. That same argument could have been used for Mr. Trump. Unsurprisingly, you didn't bother to make it, despite the fact that he plainly advocated for a peaceful gathering. I wonder why you apply that logic to Waters, who is as unhinged as they get, and not to Trump. Political prejudice???

I have no idea what you're talking about. And you totally missed my point.

[jlisenbe]

Agreed.

And you totally missed my point.

I understood your point exactly.

All lives matter, when you grasp that, you see the problem in a different light. How come no one is chanting kids lives matter

[Athos]

That same argument could have been used for Mr. Trump ............... he plainly advocated for a peaceful gathering.

That comment couldn't be more ignorant or more ridiculous. It ignores months of inciting and rhetoric to his followers that the election would be rigged if he lost. When he did lose, Trump went on a tear - still going on by that sociopath - that the election was stolen, a mantra heard loudly and often from the insurrectionists.

I wonder why you apply that logic to Waters, who is as unhinged as they get, and not to Trump. Political prejudice???

No, political REALITY! Maxine Waters is a passionate advocate for her side and always has been. Her use of the word fight means she will work on behalf of those in question, as anybody with eyes can clearly see. Your comment shows that you are only semi-literate and cannot process language.

A Trump devotee calling Waters unhinged is an incredible feat of upside-down-ism.

Because no kids are available to do chanting. But Democratic Party adults have been metaphorically chanting louder and louder for decades. Every time they chant (try to pass gun legislation) the Republicans (an arm of the NRA) shoot them down (pun intended).

For your information, Black Lives Matter does NOT mean other lives don't matter. It means it's high time to acknowledge that Blacks are treated differently by the police than others. Often shot and killed for no legitimate reason. Don't believe me? Watch and listen to the media.

We don't always agree, but I completely agree with that. The very people who celebrate abortion want to wake up the next day and profess their supposed concern for life.

[Athos]

The very people who celebrate abortion want to wake up the next day and profess their supposed concern for life.

The very people who fail to speak out against the police taking of black life, wake up the next day and complain about the termination of a fetus while ignoring the fully human lives ended.

I haven't met those people. I have met the others.

[Athos]

I haven't met those people.

I have. YOU.

[Wondergirl]

Ignoring the fully human lives ended because ... um, they weren't white....

[jlisenbe]

I have. YOU.

If you can show that to be true, then fine. Otherwise it's another Aquinas statement of yours. (Hint. It's another Aquinas statement.)

Ignoring the fully human lives ended because ... um, they weren't white....

A completely racist statement, especially coming from someone who doesn't give a rat's rear end about the three hundred thousand black babies killed in abortion every year. Are they somehow not "fully human"? What a wildly bizarre statement. Can you explain why you apparently believe some people are less than "fully human"? Are you suggesting that unborn children are not "fully human"? And if so, and I fully suspect it is so, then in what way are they less than "fully human"???

[Athos]

If you can show that to be true, then fine. Otherwise it's another Aquinas statement of yours. (Hint. It's another Aquinas statement.)

I'm happy to associate it with the Aquinas statement since both are true. You seem obsessed with Aquinas.

[Wondergirl]

And you know this about me how?

[jlisenbe]

Nah. Just remember the lying fashion in which you quoted him. It's a matter of record.

A completely racist statement, especially coming from someone who doesn't give a rat's rear end about the three hundred thousand black babies killed in abortion every year.

And you know this how?

It was a racist statement in that it was directed only at whites. You have passed on multiple opportunities to oppose abortion, so that's an easy one. But you can correct that now, and you can also answer what it means to be less than "fully human".

[Wondergirl]

You sound threatening, like a 3rd grade teacher.
