In essence it can be summarized as
"If you do not agree with my policy proposals you are not merely mistaken, you are evil incarnate."
before FB kindly locked me out of their lofty endeavors, i read a torrent of these types of "catchy" underhanded attacks on at least half the population (more likely, imho, quite a lot more than half.) Ernie may not have had a similar experience, i would hope not. i'm enjoying the relative quiet. i'm now considering sending a thank you to the FB folks (kiddies, according to Robert.)
"Love the fetus, hate the child," tho, in my view, stands apart from the other accusations.
human sacrifice/child sacrifice, has no place. not a political-partisan matter. not a solely Christian matter. even animals, with rare exception, know to nurture+protect, not to destroy their young.
the big difference in politics this time, different from the ancients and in youthful, impetuous U.S. history (imho) is today's relentless 24-7 "news" (propaganda) cycle, combined with endless internet haggling ..
it won't stop, post election.

for relief, the majority of the population would have to be convinced to respect rule of law.
that is no longer the case. Bill Clinton introduced this refusal to respect law of the land, it has blossomed from that point. worship of self-as-god is rampant.
really, tho. it could be comical, if not so deadly ..
those who most disrespect rule of law are 100% convinced, once they have restructured legal language to suit themselves, all will be well .. they are then self-righteously aghast that others would disobey?!
peace is not on the horizon.
abject sin will never produce peace; virtue never wins the popular vote.
