   What got us Trump was the uneducated right’s unwillingness to vote for their own interests because that would mean giving Constitutional rights to minorities and women. What got us Trump’s two SCOTUS picks (and counting) was Mitch’s blatant unconstitutional unwillingness to let a Democratic president pick a nominee. If he can ignore the Constitution, we can too by just ignoring any SCOTUS decision that needed Gorsich’s vote. I’ve given up on trying to use reason to gain converts.

   Senate, House, Supreme Court…Now that we’ve all but handed our entire government over to the right wingers, we’ll NEVER clear out our political colon.

   She should have written one of the other African countries with Ebola such as Sierra Leone. Hard to misread that.

   That confused me at first, too. I think it says, “Liberia,” but even her reference to that isn’t clear.

   Dimbulb W Bush’s executive order forces me to pay for other people’s religious/ superstitious ideas. The 6 Catholics and 3 Jews who make up our Supreme Court, are destroying our Constitution. And corporations aren’t people: They’re immortal, which means they’re gods.

   wbr, you’re being sarcastic, I hope. You write like a recent immigrant; if you’re not being sarcastic, please take a civics course and learn how to be a good American. Freedom of conscience is BASIC to human freedom.

   The only reason the Christian churches have changed is our democracy (which Pope John Paul correctly said is incompatible with Christianity.) The Catholic Church has always gone on crusades against heretics and especially women. It can’t use violence in its crusades anymore, so it uses laws such as those that force women to carry all pregnancies to term. (Keep ’em barefoot and pregnant.)

    Let’s start getting our costs under control by eliminating what the Tea Party and GOP love such as forcing American taxpayers to do the following: Close down public schools in favor of vouchers to private religious schools (aka Christian indoctrination machines), subsidize arms manufacturers by starting wars with lies (Another Iraq anyone?), ignore essential maintenance costs such as America’s infrastructure (Who needs safe bridges if YOU don’t drive across them?), cut food stamps and force children to go hungry because their parents’ jobs were shipped to Chinese slave laborers, eliminate regulations on Wall Street (Wait…are there any regulations on the money men?), continue to subsidize Big Agriculture and Big Pharma, and finally eliminate ANY costs that help and/or serve Americans who are not part of the 1%.
