In modern Communist China I expect it has much more to do with that fact that religion represents a separate base of power and influence that they cannot control. And Christianity in specific is very western-leaning. Many of the leaders of the opposition to Communism during the Chinese Civil War lik...

What about marrying someone with gay tendencies? Whether or not they have ever been sexually active. And for the sake of argument say that they have not ever been sexually active but have lived a celibate single life like any other good Christian young person. Most conservative churches believe that...

I have said nothing of the sort. I'm talking about public policy. Temp proposed a change in public policy that would cap or reduce public spending on childcare. I'm simply pointing out the logical and inevitable result of such a policy: If you make having children more expensive you will get less c...

And frugality would not be a word that has meaning. Simply put. If you want to encourage more children t...

I excluded suicides which are the majority of gun deaths in the US. I don't really consider suicides to be an issue specifically related to gun safety. There are lots of easy ways to kill yourself including pills. Right, got it. But also- It is appropriate to use all gun deaths not just murders bec...

One of the worst ideas out-there is more gov funding for outside child care. “All that glitters” .. That would essentially be an anti-child policy not pro-family policy.
