T O P I C R E V I E WRandallHistorically, the opposing party of the WH gains around 20 seats. With Sock Puppet Biden being such an abject failure, it should be way more than that. However, Republicans only need 5 seats in the House and 1 seat in the Senate. BelageWith the ill advised abortion restriction to the 6th week movement among republicans, I don't think the Republicans will take control in 2022. 6 weeks is just not realistic for many women. Maybe 3 months could spawn some much needed discussion and debate, but 6 weeks, nah sir. Republicans shot themselves in the foot with that one. RandallCovid mandates and a police state vs. abortion.

BelageI do not identify as a conservative. I don't believe in giving businesses free reins to do whatever the heck they want. Right now, many business want to impose vaccines on their workers. Is that right? I don't believe in giving business free rein to dump toxic waste on the environment and communities. I believe there should be regulations against that stuff. I don't believe all unions are bad. Right now, some unions are fighting for the right of their members to opt out of vaccine. That's a good thing. We are fighting for the soul of the nation and the principles on which it was founded, a nation founded on the respect of essential liberties as listed in the first amendment, which is FIRST for a reason. The right to abortion could arguable be part of the exercise of personal liberty. You don't like a woman's decision to abort, fine, but making laws to unilaterally limit it without some kind of national consensus is foolish at best and does not respect the spirit of the constitution. Unfortunately, this is a blind spot with conservatives, and they are going to stay losing. RandallPerhaps, because you are not a conservative, you are lumping all women together. Therefore, you can't say that 50 percent of the electorate are going to vote against Republican candidates simply because they have a vagina. Most conservative women are celebrating the Texas law as a win for the rights of the unborn. That being said, the issue should be decided by the states. Since you mentioned the Constitution, and in partiocular, the Bill of Rights, there should be no taking of life without due process of law. It's not about businesses being free to do anything they want. It's about federalism and government overreach. jwhop quote:Originally posted by Randall:Perhaps, because you are not a conservative, you are lumping all women together.

You are conflating "conservative talking points" with the law. Deplatforming IS allowed for now, but these businesses are not acting as mere "publishers," so they should lose their immunity from lawsuits by doing so. At will employers can terminate employment for any reason or for no reason at all; however, they cannot fire someone unlawfully, i.e., if the termination violates an employment contract, if it goes against a union agreement, or if it is racially motivated or otherwise discriminatory. If employees inform employers that such a mandate violates their sincerely held religious beliefs, then they are free to fire them at their own financial peril. These are not merely conservative talking points. shuraAgain and again and again.... you can't vote your way out of this. You're bleeding the numbers necessary. jwhopDe platforming people for viewpoints they don't like while at the same time, taking instructions/orders to do so from government agencies, legislators or government individuals make the de-platforming illegal.Government cannot act through 2nd or 3rd parties to do what would be illegal if government did it directly. Government cannot curtail constitutional rights by acting through non-government entities...which is what the Biden administration is doing.I'm expecting republicans to pick up 60 House seats and 5 Senate seats in the 2022 elections. Thanks Joe Biden.RandallThanks, Jwhop! I had completely forgotten about the government doing through these social media companies what it can’t do on its own, making them agents of the federal government. Psaki proudly admitted to an organized plan to do so. BelageThe use of conservative talking points to advance the democrats/globalists agenda may be illegal and even unconstitutional, but it is happening, those companies are doing it without major consequences for them, and looking at you like, whatcha gonna do? Basically, might is right.

That is why we need to stop looking at the fight for the soul of this country through the narrow frame of conservatism vs progressivism. The issue is much bigger than that. I am just the messenger. We shall see in 2022. jwhopWell Randall, with so much crap going on for the last 9 months, it's hard to keep it all on the front burner.@Belage"The use of conservative talking points to advance the democrats/globalists agenda may be illegal and even unconstitutional, but it is happening, those companies are doing it without major consequences for them, and looking at you like, whatcha gonna do?Right you are.
