    Can you see the difference between "Landmark Cases are difficult to overturn", which is what I said, as opposed to Landmark Cases are never overturned which is what you implied I said?

        Well, considering Trump did not "morally equate" them, they are all morons. He merely said they were BOTH to blame, and they were. That more violence happened from one side than the other is not sufficient to excuse the other for their violence.

          Since you could not come up with any response related to what I posted you just posted random nonsense.
          Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

            Seriously.

            If two guys go on a raping spree, with Bob raping 5 women and Frank raping 100, and I say "I condemn in the strongest possible terms these disgusting acts of sexual violence from both men," then using the "logic" of the left, I must be a rape-loving misogynist.

            "You didn't focus your criticism entirely on Frank, who is clearly the worst offender! You must be a rape apologist! I bet you rape everyone you meet! Off with your head!"

              Er, I implied no such thing. Because landmark cases are difficult to overturn, does than mean we should not try?

                They are not equally to blame as was implied by Trump's pandering comment: "There was blame on both sides...on both sides". The "blame" was on the instigators, i.e. the neo-Nazis. Not on those that reacted to it. It is generally considered in our society that Fascism = bad and anti-Fascism = good. Except among Evangelicals it seems.

                  Well that's exactly what you did, otherwise your comment had no meaning.

                  I don't think you should try. The verdicts re abortion and SS Marriage have been decided by the highest court in the land and supported by the majority of the population. They're not like the Dred Scott case which was transparently unjust and based upon racial discrimination.

                      Stop lying Roy, I never said there was violence only on one side. Nor did I suggest that white supremacists were good.

                          Report all you want, you are lying. In the post of mine you linked I said the left started it, and gave a number of reasons why and I never said that white supremacists were good.

                            Your inability to understand my comment is duly noted.

                            Your opinion is duly noted. Roe v. Wade was transparently unjust to the fetus involved (and to all those murdered since), and was tried under false pretenses to boot.

                              I will acknowledge your masterful snipping of a quote out of context in order to "prove" your point. You are generally good at picking nits, but you left yourself wide open on this one.

                                Show where Trump said "equally".

                                No it isn't. When anti-fascists behave violently, it is not good. Except to leftist atheists it seems...
