answer this. Why can’t you fix one area dominated by liberals with no conservatives standing in your way? Why won’t you address my proposition?
Just wondering, do you celebrate the life and legacy of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati? Do you agree with Pope Saint John Paul II that he is the "Man of the Eight Beatitudes?
You honestly believe conservatives don't stand in the way of liberals fixing one area of the nation? Ever heard of lawsuits? Taking local legislation all the way to the Supreme Court (if needed) in an attempt to stop a piece of legislation (especially as it relates to guns). Using Fox News and other propaganda sources to outrage the national conservative voting base over some local initiative?
Are you awake? Do you even know what goes on in this nation when it comes to how the right-wing operates?
Again, you don't care about solving the problem. You want to protect the status quo. I asked you if you were on board for addressing the problems we face as a nation, and you said absolutely not. And then you made the exact same argument that those who resisted outlawing slavery and the passage of federal civil right laws made.
what conservative lawyers and lawsuits have stopped liberals from fixing the decaying neighborhoods of Baltimore?
That’s amazingly effective to shut liberals down from fixing their lowest neighborhoods with decades of democrat control.
Never heard of him, but I am quite keen on Thomas More, and according to him, you are full of fecal matter on so many levels.
Is that Lincoln Riley's great grandfather in your avatar? They both have the same "scared little pussy" expression.
You want a local example, how about Washington D.C. in District of Columbia v. Heller (financed by Robert A. Levy of the Cato Institute, among others).
You are just living in denial if you don't believe the right-wing goes into hyperdrive if they see a local law/initiative that challenges their political ideology. They will immediately nationalize the issue. Look at what they have recently done in terms of local educational issues as another example.
btw, I don't really fault them for nationalizing the issues. The issues are national issues and should be addressed on a national scale. However, it is rather hypocritical of you to demand a local success story while at the same time supporting efforts to attack local laws/initiatives from a national perspective.
It is all part of the game you right-wingers play. As I have stated, you are satisfied with the status quo and you don't support true reform. On the local or national level.
give some examples of right wingers stopping local leftist dominated governments.
what happened to Washington DC? Did they stop poverty and shootings? I really hope so and it’s just that I haven’t heard that news until now. Link?
God is amazing!
Thomas More was my confirmation Saint. I routinely ask More to pray for me and the Prayer of Saint Thomas More (written while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London) is one of my favorite prayers and one that I daily strive to emulate (although I often fail miserably).
Have you read More's Utopia? If so, do you know that most consider this a powerful treatise on a socialistic society? This is one reason why More is considered a Utopian Socialist. Some have even called him a proto-communist.
I am providing a link to an article that discusses Utopia. Here is a quote:
"Thomas More’s Utopia, a book that will be 500 years old next year, is astonishingly radical stuff. Not many lord chancellors of England have denounced private property, advocated a form of communism and described the current social order as a “conspiracy of the rich”. Such men, the book announces, are “greedy, unscrupulous and useless”. There are a great number of noblemen, More complains, who live like drones on the labour of others. Tenants are evicted so that “one insatiable glutton and accursed plague of his native land” may consolidate his fields. Monarchs, he argues, would do well to swear at their inauguration never to have more than 1,000lbs of gold in their coffers. Perhaps this is one reason why Utopia is not bedside reading in Buckingham Palace. Instead of being worshipped, gold and silver should, he suggests, be used to make chamber pots. War is fit only for beasts, and standing armies should be disbanded. Labour should be reduced to a minimum, though the TUC might balk at the suggestion that workers would use some of their leisure time to attend public lectures before daybreak"
Utopias, past and present: why Thomas More remains astonishingly radical
You really want to have a conversation about Thomas More? I am all for it. He is my patron Saint after all. I absolutely love Saint Thomas More!

Look him up.
He is celebrated by the Catholic Church and as I said, Pope Saint John Paul II called him the "Man of the Eight Beatitudes."
Was Pope Saint John Paul II wrong?
St. Michael the archangel ..."St. Michael the archangel, defend us in battle............."
Not, St. Michael the human.
Matthew 26:52 applies to us. We aren't archangels.
I gave you two examples of right-wingers nationalizing a local law/initiative.
Stop playing dumb. You know good and well what goes on,
Read “Seeking More” by CT Rossi. STM was satirizing socialism/collectivism when he wrote Utopia.
If you’re about to get mugged, don’t expect an armored angel to drop out of the sky and protect you. However, said angel’s intercession will give you the strength to protect yourself, most likely long before you need it.
When 2 cents starts threads crying about the hundreds of senseless murders in places like Chicago, I'll start taking him seriously otherwise he is just another opportunistic sensationalist using other people's tragedy to advance his agenda.
You are so predictable. Maintain that American right-wing ideology (your religion) at all costs.🙄
Saint Thomas More was not doing this in Utopia. This is nothing but historical revisionism by those who are uncomfortable with what More writes in Utopia. It is their attempt to defend principles which More clearly was arguing against. More was one of the earliest Utopian Socialists.
More was a man ahead of his times in many ways. It other ways he was a man of his times. He was definitely though a man for all seasons.
I've never been led to go out and buy a gun while praying for Saint Michael the Archangel's intercession. Instead, I've been led to rely on God and His protection and provision.
Not surprising too that this was the example given to us by the early Saints. They willingly went to their deaths for the glory of God without defending themselves with weapons.
As Christ said, those who live by the sword die by the sword. Sorry those words challenge your American right-wing religion.

And there is the "Chicago deflection." I was waiting on it. You have been trained well by your propagandists 2012Bearcat.
With that said, do you agree with charging the parents with involuntary manslaughter?
So American children dying in schools is the "same ****" people are getting tripped up about according to you?
Disgusting.
What about American children dying in abortion clinics? Not only have you turned your back on them, but you actively endorse the rights of their mothers to kill them. Fvck you, you leftist piece of shit.
Bullshit. More was ridiculing collectivists like you. Deal with it, motherfvcker.
Why do you have deflect every issue back to abortion?
Does your "pro-life" convictions end after a fetus exits the birth canal? It appears that way.
No he wasn't. Sorry to expose your attempted misrepresentation of Saint Thomas More and Utopia.
500th Anniversary (Quincentennial) Of Thomas More’s Socialist Utopia
Thomas More’s Utopia From A Socialist Point Of View – Part II
"For if you suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves and then punish them."
"Instead of inflicting these horrible punishments, it would be far more to the point to provide everyone with some means of livelihood, so that nobody's under the frightful necessity of becoming first a thief and then a corpse."
"Personal prejudice and financial greed are the two great evils that threaten courts of law, and once they get the upper hand they immediately hamstring society, by destroying all justice."
"For what justice is there in this: that a nobleman, a goldsmith, a banker, or any other man, that either does nothing at all, or, at best, is employed in things that are of no use to the public, should live in great luxury and splendour upon what is so ill acquired, and a mean man, a carter, a smith, or a ploughman, that works harder even than the beasts themselves, and is employed in labours so necessary, that no commonwealth could hold out a year without them, can only earn so poor a livelihood and must lead so miserable a life, that the condition of the beasts is much better than theirs?"
"But what they find most amazing and despicable is the insanity of those who all but worship the rich, to whom they owe nothing and who can do them no harm; they do so for no other reason except that they are rich, knowing full well that they are so mean and tightfisted that they will certainly never give them one red cent during their whole lives." - Saint Thomas More, Utopia
You are too stupid to see the satire and hyperbole in that passage. There is nothing I can do for you.
There are far more children dying in abortion clinics than in school shootings, yet that doesn’t seem to bother you. You are the epitome of a leftist double-speaking hypocrite.
You have quickly become the dumbest person on this board
To be perfectly honest I have no idea. I do not trust the media, nor do I trust DAs that rush to charge people in cases like this. At first glance the charges seem to be rushed and based on emotion rather than well thought out legal theory. The media often jumps to conclusions not based on fact and later turn out to be completely wrong. Nothing wrong with waiting to see what the real facts of the case are before we start arresting people.
I have concerns not only with the parents but school officials that were involved in all of this. WTF were these school officials thinking if what has been reported is true. The actions of school officials are as much a concern for me as the actions of the parents, yet for some reason the school officials have already been exonerated by the media and the DA. That doesn't make sense to someone that thinks for themselves and tends to make me think this is all about ideology, not the law.
Free will not without risk. I’d rather live in a jungle than a zoo. OP should probably move someplace for pussies.
You show zero concern when black children are gunned down almost weekly in your Democrat utopias but are seemingly distraught when white kids are killed. Is that because of your ideology or because you don't care if black kids are killed?
It's strange you care so much about children but support killing them in a mother's womb merely because it's a inconvenience for the woman. Maybe you should relook at your what little principles you hold; they are clearly conflicted.
