What's this?

Well, an accurate citing would make this a bit more reliable, but I'll

give you a pass - not your fault. Okay, first off #1, who would disagree with that? Taking care of those on need is not a liberal or conservative belief, it's a basic human belief. Liberals don't hold the moral high ground here, by the way - neither side does.
2, people have the right to medical treatment but not free treatment. Show up to an ER and you will get treated - it's the law. You will get a bill, too. How someone pays for it is the question.
3, school choice or equal distribution of educational funds. Why do NoVA kids have better resources than other kids in the Commonwealth?
4, lgbtq have the same rights as everyone else.
5, when have "I" ever enforced my religious beliefs on "you"? Live and let live.
6, every "R" administration is the next Third Reich.
The article reads as a manifesto of leftist tropes. It reads as a Bernie mailer. It does nothing to encourage a constuctive dialogue.

All mission statements sound the same. It's when you -- hoobedda 02/21/2020 08:41AM

Do you think trumps actions and words agree with that mission statement? ** -- 111Balz 02/21/2020 09:59AM

No, not exactly. He's not a liberal. It's how we get there that is -- hoobedda 02/21/2020 10:14AM

Why do you believe that? One of the tenants of the platform -- 111Balz 02/21/2020 11:00AM

I’m talking about that last sentence.Your line that -- 111Balz 02/21/2020 11:11AM

I agree that's simplistic. It's not good vs evil. Why do you suppose -- hoobedda 02/21/2020 11:21AM

Other than on the fringe I don’t see anyone demonizing -- 111Balz 02/21/2020 11:24AM

Thank you for addressing the content. Potsie could be the author -- 111Balz 02/21/2020 08:20AM

Well said, but apparently misattributed to a different Ron Howard. Snopes -- 81_Hokie 02/21/2020 07:43AM

Really? Well said regardless ** -- 111Balz 02/21/2020 08:09AM

Maybe so but it’s the approach to addressing some of those where things -- TomKazanski 02/21/2020 08:41AM
