A fetus, which is little more than a cute tumor, well? Not so much.
This is the kind of attitude that's created a society filled with single mothers, and deadbeat fathers, milking the system to support their child. Life begins at conception. Until the Democrats see this they will continue to devalue the life of the individual.
Life, as defined by biologists, must meet the following requirements: internal homeostasis, cellular organization, metabolism, growth, adaptation, responsiveness to stimuli, and the ability to reproduce. Unfortunately, prior to the 6th month, a fetus only meets 5 of 7 criteria, and thus is not an independent organism in scientific terms.

The GOP has never shown any interest in a real and measurable reduction in taxes beyond the fact that saying "I'll cut your taxes!" draws in votes.
You may be right. Unfortunately the Democrats are saying they're going to increase taxes, insert slick willy tax increase speech. I know here comes the, only the top 5%, nonsensical rebutal. And i've gone over this time and again. Corporations don't pay taxes, people do. Taxing the wealthiest only serves to restrict their ability to grow and employ more people with greater benefits.
Tax cuts without dollar-for-dollar spending cuts are not tax cuts at all. Every dime of debt accrued by the US government will eventually be paid back out of future revenue.

And lovers of freedom don't believe that religious convictions are a valid source of government policy. I don't really care that Christians believe that I'm "immoral" because I'm gay. I'm still a citizen and deserving of equal rights.
Yes they do. Every society has norms based on moral conviction. I'm not saying it should be illegal to be homosexual. What I am saying is forcing the govn to recognize homosexuality as a valid lifestyle is wrong.
But homosexuality is not considered immoral universally. There are even many Christian and Jewish denominations that support homosexuality, on top of which there is the population of areligious, agnostic, and secular people, and adherents to other religions which take no stand on homosexuality at all. What you're proposing is that the moral judgment of one subset of a subset of society should be the nucleus of federal policy. The Republicans pose doing this by a ban at the Federal level that would force states to not allow homosexual marriage. Force, as you put it, at the barrel of a gun. This is not exactly a freedom loving stance.

Obama is good palls with Ayers. Ayers is a self proclaimed terrorist. Do the math.
I have. All the evidence points to them being casual, friendly acquaintances. Provide me with evidence to the contrary and I'll consider it, but somehow I doubt your investigation skills are up to par with those of fact-check.org, The Washington Post, or Fox News.
