A country in shambles, under GOP rule

Efforts to blame Democrats for the country's deep woes assume deep stupidity on the part of the glorified Regular Voter.

    re: contradiction

    For example, I wonder how many people on UT are pro-choice and against capital punishment? These are in contradiction, just like being pro-death penalty and anti-abortion.

    I probably shouldn't go here, but what in hell have you been smoking? That is one of the most ridiculous statements I've seen on UT.

    the ethical principle that these issues share is the sanctity of life

    human life, not any life form. Or the right of an individual to own her own body v. the govt to own the body. Or for an individual' right to believe when human life begins v. govt dictating when an individual's life ends?

    You boil the issue down to your own personal definitions and then declare UT posters contradictory? Please.
