Re: This guy claims he is not a racist too
I understand that. THEY don't.
They don't care what your definition of christian is. They have their own.

Eschew obfuscation. Habituate elucidation.

Re: Racist actions?
I suppose the difference must be that most of those are able to take care of themselves and don't become a drain on our taxpayer dollars.
So greed over need. Must be another one of those christian things.

Re: Racist actions?
Common sense, concern for Americans and Intelligent management of resources over bleeding heart irrationality. It's one of those Reason things.

Re: This guy claims he is not a racist too
Sure, they care when they understand the truth and that's why we send out missionaries. Leaving them in their delusions is cruel.

I agree. This seems a bit much. But, it's not my house.
When a word like "hate" is added to someone's disallowed word list and evasion is attempted by using, for example, "h-ate", then it is necessary to replace "hate" in the disallowed word list with a regular expression. But regular expressions can be overly inclusive.
The regular expression for "hate" is "(?<=\W)h\S?a\S?t\S?e\S*", which also matches "hasten", the word Faith was trying to use. The reason for the "*" on the end of the regular expression is to also match "hates" and "hateful" and so forth. If someone can improve on this regular expression please message me.

It makes your posts even funnier. Maybe Percy could just substitute a random word instead, like "hippopotamus".

And our geese will blot out the sun.

If he can do that then he could replace them with some drops of wisdom from the Do Nothing Button. Wouldn't seem all that different in the logic its replacing.

Re: Former Federal Prosecutors on Obstruction
When someone acts like a child they need to be treated like a child.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.
If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: Racist actions?
The wall is a waste of money because it won't significantly affect the problems.
It may slow (but definitely not stop) the flow of asylum seekers. They come to crossing points and often turn themselves in.
It won't stop the flow of undocumented immigrants. It might cut it down a litte. They make ladders in Mexico. They've dug extremely sophisticated tunnels (with forced-air ventilation, electric lights, and train tracks for very small trains) under the border and however deep the wall's foundation they'll go five feet deeper.
It won't have a significant effect on the drug trade because most of the drugs come through ports of entry that the wall won't block. Also see tunnels above.
It won't stop human trafficking for the same reason it won't stop drugs,.
The original concept of the wall was a mnemonic device to remind Trump to talk about immigration. None of the originators thought anyone would take it seriously.
Which boils down to:
The wall is a stupid idea.

Re: Racist actions?
Most of the immigrants who cross the Southern border are able to take care of themselves and don't become a drain on our taxpayer dollars.
I see you've forgotten the discussion of what aid undocumented immigrants are or are not eligible for
