AGREED. Socialism and Marxism is the democratic party with a different name. It has become an effing communistic dictatorship. A scientology-esque harassment to make sure you are staying where they say your thoughts can be. Socialism is where all are rationed and decided by government. We are no longer the ones making the rules, we hand it over because of flowery words that everyone can get behind but ZERO FOLLOW THROUGH. Dems believe they should have control over literally everything. They believe is big government, small people decisions. We are sheep aimlessly herded around. They think we are TOO STUPID to handle our own lives and they're snakes that want to divy out the bread crumbs as they see fit since we are too dumb to do it ourselves. Wow dems thank you! What a compliment! The Conservatives believe in small government and big people decisions MEANING they believe in our ability to think for ourselves and act accordingly which is so much more to work with. The dems give us JUST ENOUGH ROPE TO HANG OURSELVES and THEY pull the reins. NOT US. THE SENATE MAJORITY is democratic. THEY HAVE MORE EFFING PULL BY FAR THAN THE PRESIDENT DARE DREAMED OF AND ARE FREE TO QUIETLY RAPE OUR COUNTRY WHILE POINTING AT SOMEONE ELSE! IF you do not go by these 1 world order, sheep herding, rights stealing fucks, sure you will have another $20 a month for food stamps but that shit comes with the biggest lone sharking tag you'll ever see folks. They are better at speaking than Republicans. THIS IS TRUE. Why is that?! BECAUSE IT IS ALL THEY DO! "Oh we want rights, but they don't. We want prosperity but they don't. We want transparency but they don't." Is the democratic MANTRA with ZERO AND I DO MEAN ZERO FOLLOW THROUGH TO BACK THE THINGS ANY HUMAN BEING WOULD AGREE WITH, while the republicans are more action less words. They're too fucking busy helping our asses be free and safe to hold a press conference every other second. THEY'RE BUSY WITH REAL ISSUES. It's like your g.f. calling you at work ALL THE TIME to make sure you aren't coming home soon because they are cheating on you. All the while blaming and suspecting YOU because of how THEY screw people. They assume everyone does it. I'M CHEATING SO HE MUST BE TOO! My grandma used to say 2 things, 1) thou protest too much and 2) THE GUILTY DOG BARKS 1ST. Guilty conscious. Full of shit. Proven time and again. Look up the dem party from late 1800s to early 1900s to see the platform they were built on and how they figured out to falsely navigate it. THEY WERE THE RACIST, VIOLENT, BIGOTED ONES NOT THE REPUBLICANS. LINCOLN WAS A REPUBLICAN! They FLIPPED the definitions around to better suit the fraud around ww2 when all were distracted and gave them a min to get their shit together to come across believable. THAT IS HOW THEY CAME TO BE SO IF YOU ARE TOO LAZY TO EDUCATE YOURSELVES HISTORY WILL REPEAT IN A BIG BIG WAY. ALWAYS DOES! They want transparency?? Did we all forget Clinton and Podesta deleting 35,000 damning and disturbing (understatement) emails? Our phones being keystroked every single word and held them for no reason other than monitoring ITS OWN PEOPLE?! Or how about our men SLAUGHTERED in Bengazi BEGGING for help?! Jesus folks quit watching CNN AND DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE DECLARING HOW MUCH YOU KNOW FROM A SICKENINGLY BIAS MEDIA OUTLET. OF COURSE they are going to make conservatives look bad. DUH!!! THEY'RE TOO BUSY GETTING SHIT DONE AND DEALING WITH THE REAL THINGS THAT MATTER. Drink the kool-aid and this will be a Jonestown from this very party. YOU DRINK WHEN THEY SAY DRINK AND HAND THE SHIT OFF TO YOUR OWN CHILD. Don't worry! They said it's just juice baby, here let mama help you with that. Enough is fucking enough and if no one has the ability to say they are republicans anymore without EVERYTHING ATTACKING FROM ALL SIDES AT ONCE THEN I WILL. This is a sick party out to destroy if you don't submit to everything they SAY, NOT DO! Wake the hell up, get educated, and do something or we are all going to die they sheep they made us into!

For all of you bringing up abortion: Being pro choice does not mean that everyone should get an abortion and that it’s a form of birth control. Pro choice means if you don’t want an abortion, then you don’t need to get one! Everyone’s lives and stories are different. If you think all lives are holy, then how do you feel about the foster system? Children at the border? Do those lives matter too? Pro choice is simply giving a choice. I’m a christian women and everything she says is what Jesus preaches. Jesus would be a radical in our world, and most christian evangelicals wouldn’t recognize him if they saw him. All sin is equal in the eyes of God. If getting an abortion is against your morals, then don’t get one, but don’t take that right away from someone who desperately needs it. You are not pro-life because your ideologies don’t apply to all children’s lives, you’re pro-birth. Unless you’re the one birthing that baby than you have no right to an opinion.

As a now non-practicing Catholic convert with a great deal of warm feeling still for progressive Catholics, Episcopalians, Lutherans, Methodists, and Presbyterians, I am always gratified when these Christians refuse to concede the moral ground to evangelical fundamentalists. Christ made it clear that "not all those who say, 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven," but rather Christians will be judged by the justice and mercy shown to the poor and downtrodden. Sometimes, conservative evangelicals claim that this message of inclusion and justice echoes the culture, but I'd say it's their embrace of greed, power, and oppression that is conformist and the message of "the least of these" that remains radical and energizing.

[@mellanytravers6544]

Great speech! Thank you for speaking and standing for what is true ....the need for separation of Church and State and the unconditional, beneficient love of God in which all are worthy, equal and equally blessed. "In no case should the state and religion be the same. That has proven to be disastrous in history. The great casualty of attempting to join those two is religion itself, which becomes a tool of the state, which becomes used as a form of manipulation and persuasion, of self-righteousness and condemnation of others." ~ Marshall Vian Summers, NewMessage.org

I admire AOC’s approach toward the religious community. We Christians have gotten so much hate because people have misused our Bible and scripture to attack others. AOC not only clarifies this to a T and specifics that these religious communities then face hate because of the misconceptions. This has happened to me personally over and over and over and most politicians never clarify this or always make us look bad. SHE GOES OVER AND BEYOND to make sure we are represented fairly. I appreciate this TONS. My level of respect for her goes through the roof. While she did said that everyone is holy is kind of false, since holiness is a lifestyle and not a guaranteed automatic. I get that she meant every soul and human being is precious and worth of respect. Which is absolutely 100% Jesus in my eyes. Every soul is worth fighting for. That’s why Jesus came. He gave his life for humanity so that we could have a second chance from our sin and get right with God. It’s a beautiful story of redemption and self-sacrifice for others. I’m so tired of people making my Jesus look bad. God is so important to me in my life. He is my everything.

3:30 If the government took over medical care, then the government would be in the position to (and likely would) determine who does and does not get treatment. Most of this is up to individuals, NOT the government. You and I can feed people, or donate to organizations that do. In fact, most of this responsibility belonged to religious organizations and community groups BEFORE the government started doing these things. SHE is the one wrongly using religion to expand government power because it sounds like a "Christian" thing to do. Instead, it removes personal responsibility from the individual because "the government will take care of it." Same thing goes for clothing the poor. 3:41 You want to protect children do ya? How about preventing them from making permanent, possibly life threatening, alterations to their bodies through "transitioning"? How about protecting them from events like the drag queen story hours? How about removing Desmond Is Amazing from his parents because he has performed very sexually charged dances and acts in front of other adult males? 3:43 Loving people sometimes means doing the hard thing that is in their best interest. It's not in the best interest of people to become dependent on the government. This inhibits the human spirit and creates an unhealthy dependency on others to provide for them instead of providing for themselves. The New Testament, since you claim to be so religious, teaches us to 1) WORK (1 Thess 4:11, 12) 2) Provide for your own family (1 Timothy 5:8) 3) Pay taxes (Romans 13:7) 4) Do good to all people, especially fellow believers (Galatians 6:10) So, I guess AOC is partly right, but she's also very wrong.

As he wrote to Benjamin Rush: "[T]he clause of the Constitution which, while it secured the freedom of the press, covered also the freedom of religion, had given to the clergy a very favorite hope of obtaining an establishment of a particular form of Christianity through the United States; and as every sect believes its own form the true one, every one perhaps hoped for his own, but especially the Episcopalians and Congregationalists." That is the reason for the letter Jefferson received and for his (above mentioned) answer. Study the original documents of this country: you will be amazed at how much you think you know is not true. ;-)

Weird how abortion didnt make it's way into this non-sensical unbiblical rant.

What specifically did not make sense to you?

[@AlastorsShadowDemon]

Why would it? Mind your business. Abortion wouldn’t be a necessity if the filthy rich would stop overworking people to death while hoarding all of the resources.

It is offensive and wrong for a politician to appropriate the true Faith as her "own" when she clearly has NO idea what she's talking about. She is not God. She should be ashamed of herself. Jezebel!
