Rich old farts prefer not to go down to the polling stations and stand in line with the unwashed masses.

Your bias is showing. How does it work when one is a rich old fart and also is part of the unwashed masses?

The Republicans in Congress already advised him to leave it alone since mail-in ballots historically have benefited conservatives the most.

Actually, the other way around. Most younger voters would not vote if not for the mail-in ballots.

And how many of the 331,000 children in foster care right now have you all adopted? I mean, if you all feel so strongly about abortion, I would like to know what you're all doing to help the situation regarding unwanted children in our society right now? Especially because if, and when abortion is outlawed in the US, those numbers would increase exponentially. What plan of action do you all have ready to implement in such a case, I'd really like to know.

Half of all teens that age out of the system will become homeless by 26. Drug/alcohol abuse is higher than the national average, crime rates too. Moralizing against abortion is easy, coming up with solutions is much harder.

So the orphans should have been aborted? That’s just sick. If orphan numbers do go up isn’t that better than killing them in the womb?

 

[Scott CWO]

What about a baby in a uterus that will eventually become a leftist idiot?

He would have preferred that we conservatives were aborted.

I've been staying on the sideline on most of this debate. However, I just couldn't stay quiet anymore.

I'm surprised @Big_Easy has not addressed how, much red tape, how difficult and how expensive it is to adopt an orphan child. Another reason why so many go to other countries to adopt a child because it is a lot cheaper and simpler.

Only a sick person like you would suggest aborting a child to prevent being an orphan. SMH.

It's a lonely life being a rich old fart from the unwashed masses. No one loves me but my dogs. I'm fine with that. They're better people than any I've ever met.

Actually, it's not the other way around. You'd think the younger voters would not want to take the time to vote. But when you think about it, voting is a good excuse to escape from work, at least momentarily. Yes, Republicans in Congress did express concerns because according to the polls GOP voters, especially older and rural farm GOP voters, were indeed more inclined to prefer mail-in voting. Have the mailman pick up the ballot or load the walker in the car and fight for a handicapped parking spot at the polling station. Which would you choose?

A member of my family, BG William Barksdale commanded a brigade of McLaw's Division, Longstreet's Corps. On the second day of the battle his brigade made what a union colonel at the time proclaimed and many historians subsequently agree "was the grandest charge that was ever made by mortal man." His brigade shattered Humphry's Division at the Peach Orchard which led to the collapse of Sickles' Third Corps. As was often the case for the Army of Northern Virginia, for want of another division to exploit the breakthrough, the battle could, probably should have ended in Confederate victory that evening. Barksdale fell mortally wounded at the Peach Orchard at the culminating point of the attack. The brigade suffered nearly 50% casualties.

One of my proudest possessions is a model 1863 Richmond rifled musket with which his regiments were equipped shortly before the start of the Pennsylvania campaign.

The courage of both sides in that war is why the campaign streamers of those battles which include Southern victories like Chancellorsville as well as Northern triumphs like Gettysburg are blue and gray - something that somehow survived the woke purge under Biden.

What the nation hating woke left is incapable of understanding is that I am as proud of his service as I am my grandfather who was an artilleryman in WWI, my father who flew nearly eighty missions over Burma and survived being shot down twice in WWII, and my own three decades of service to this country. I have no patience with the sniveling parasitic multitude whose only service has been to extend their hands out begging for more while trying to cancel my history.

These two prints by Don Troiani - Barksdales Charge and the Texas Brigade's assault through the cornfield at Sharpsburg proudly hang in my home.

An incredible post! You have much to be proud of and most of us are very grateful to military families like yours. Thank you! I couldn’t agree more about the woke left idiots.

Both sides of my family didn’t arrive from Germany and Norway until just after the Civil War to homestead and farm in the Dakota Territory. My dad’s uncle was in the Navy and survived Pearl Harbor. My uncle was a firefighter at a few US bases in Viet Nam. My father was too old and married with kids to be drafted for Viet Nam. My daughter enlisted in the Army and had a great job lined up after taking pre-enlistment tests but was badly injured just before boot camp when another driver rear-ended her at a stoplight at 40MPH. She was really disappointed she couldn’t be in the Army. She recovered and is now a Surgical Nurse. The Army missed a good one in her but that crash was bad. Her SUV was totaled, the fuel cell burst and even the radio came out of the dashboard console. She was lucky to survive. Luckily her SUV didn’t catch fire or she would have burned up. She would probably be dead if she was in a small car.

You guys have me so thoroughly confused, aborting orphans, how is that even possible??? Isn’t the mother alive if the baby is being aborted?

Who the F--k are you? This is total nonsense.

Really interested why you think this is nonsense. Or is it just your opinion.

I saw a poll that said 29% said they would vote for a Democratic Socialist, and 26% said they weren't sure.

November is going to provide some clarity, one way or another.

Yeah, speaking of making no sense ...

Yes, people with infirmities, deployed military, snowbirds and such, vote by mail out of necessity. That is true but to say that the current bunch of young voters prefer to go to the polls is hogwash.

About 40% of people 65+ voted by mail, largely for obvious and legitimate reasons. That leaves 60% of younger people voting by mail. Now some, maybe many, may have what I would call legitimate reasons to do so but to say, basically, that younger voters are straining at the bit to vote in person on election day is let's say, a stretch.

We now have corrupted our voting system to such a degree that its legitimacy is becoming highly suspect; problems with vote by mail is just one of those corruptions. So is early voting, vote harvesting. Motor-voter, etc, etc, etc.

There are only 18 states that vote mostly by mail.in ballots. Seems to me and this is my opinion alot of voters are going to the booth. If mail in voting has been corrupted so badly where is the proof. The last general election voted Trump in. Are you now saying what was OK for the Republicans is now too messed up because the democrats might just win this November?

 

[Big_Easy]

There is your direct quote. I didnt ask you for sources, I asked you how many have you personally heard, you provided articles one of which the sheriff said he thought medical staff was better to provide the treatment, not that he was denying people the treatment.

You didnt shred anything and when called out you said blah blah pro life to deflect. I know how to use Google maybe you can too. I asked how many Narcans do Police use in the US. Here is the response.

A major 10-year analysis of the International Association of Chiefs of Police program documented nearly 17,000 administrations by law enforcement with an 87% survival rate.On a state and regional level, the impact is highly visible:New York: State Police and local law enforcement (including the NYPD) have administered naloxone in nearly 12,000 reported encounters.Tempe, Arizona: During a targeted first-responder pilot, Tempe Police administered Narcan to 100 individuals suspected of opioid overdoses, successfully saving 81 of them.Quincy, Massachusetts: As an early adopter of the nasal spray, the Quincy Police Department was credited with over 300 reversals.Nationally, harm reduction data indicates that at least 2,500 law enforcement agencies actively equip their patrol officers with Narcan to combat the ongoing opioid epidemic.

So you got a sheriff in Ohio, where as 2500 law enforcement agencies actively are equipped. Cherry pick much?

"Cherry pick much?"

Yes, you are correct. Thank you for finally understanding the point of my posts. You are all cherry picking evidence of "anti-AC" policies from several local UK councils, without adding any context. And then using those to paint the whole of Europe with it. It's interesting that you're able to identify cherry picking when someone else does it, but not when it aligns with your political beliefs?
