Separating immigrant families and imprisoning children

[Cow Poke]

And a hammer dulcimer version!

And you KNEW there had to be a Smoky Mountain version, since this is a song from old Appalachia.

Even Franklin Graham is not okay with this situation: https://www.charlotteobserver.com/la...213142754.html

I am sickened by Sarah Huckabee Sanders quoting the Bible to defend the status quo. As a fundamentalist friend of mine pointed out, it's sad when at the press briefing, the reporter from Playboy has a more moral view on an issue than the daughter of a Baptist pastor. If you're going to Romans 13 this issue, then you might as well invoke Romans 13 when a woman wants to go to the abortion clinic, too. Laws just don't define morality.

The party of separating families, lying, not taking personal responsibility (aka Republicans), is unsurprisingly, not taking personal responsibility for this and lying.

Serial liar Sarah Huckabee Sanders is spreading the lie that, of all people, the Democrats are to blame for the Trump Administration's deliberate decision to separate families.

Her 'logic' goes like this: If only the Democrats (who's votes aren't needed since Republicans control all the branches of government) would work more with the Trump administration to change the system to be even harsher on immigrants, then the Trump administration wouldn't need to continue their campaign of terror against families in order to disincentivize immigration. So it's all the Democrats fault, QED.

I think it's time to call out these people for what they are: Absolutely despicable, immoral, evil, monsters. If there's a hell, they're going to it.

I note that almost zero conservative posters here have had the guts to vote in the poll at the start of this thread regarding whether they support the policy.

I guess if the November midterms end up being run primarily on the topic of whether families should be separated or not, we'll find out then where US conservatives truly stand on their "values".

On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a conservative Christian, answered a question about Sessions' comments, saying, "it is very biblical to enforce the law."

Read the entire article here: https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/p...ism/707196002/

There are, of course, Christians opposing Session and Huckabee.

And here is another interesting part:

I wonder how long the evangelicals in general are going to tolerate Trump's policy and the fact that it is associated with a book they reagard as holy and that his mandate is dependent on them.

The bible can be interpreted to mean whatever you want it to mean.

And here is another interesting part:

Romans 13 was also used to justify slavery in the South.

I wonder how long the evangelicals in general are going to tolerate Trump's policy and the fact that it is associated with a book they reagard as holy and that his mandate is dependent on them.

They will tolerate anything Trump does because he gives them what they want.

It's not about guts, Star, it's that you're nuts.

Rogue and I both showed that the policy was instituted by Obama. I even posted pictures of children in cages under Obama. And you want to blame Trump?

Here is an article from when Obama was President:

Yeah, but- but Trump!

I can't see the value in voting in your poll in an attempt to somehow convince you that I'm up to your moral standards. You're obviously a bigot.

[Charles]

Yeah, but- but Trump!

Or "but- but Obama" if you want to avoid the difficult issues. I wonder what makes you think it makes even the tiniest difference to the moral issues whether Obama did the same thing or not. And Sessions even made a biblical defence of the absurdities. But somehow it seems the Obama past is all you are worried about.

"up to"? You'd have to dig a hole halfway through the planet's crust to get that low.
