    Madonna is reprehensible. But you would use the power of the federal government to deny her movement inside the nation because you disagree with what she says?

    I wish someone would have warned us this sort of thing would happen.

    Oh.

    Actually, yes. If one threatens the President of the United States, I'd hope that the threat would be taken seriously and she would at the very least be watched. Wouldn't you want threats to your family be taken seriously by police?

    I think people that pose a "credible" threat to the President should be watched, yes.

    Madonna doesn't rise to that level, IMO. Certainly should not be put on the no-fly list because she makes a stupid, emotional statement.

    You had to pick the bad apple in the bunch right! I wouldn't give you 2 cents for her as a spokesperson but that does not mean that they do not have good people .... I liked Alicia Keys .....she is a young woman with intelligence, posture & talent who also spoke (and sang), Encouraging women to be an active voice. So whats the problem?

    Yes & that's always been her MO....she is a provacitor, someone who has always done edgie stuff to get people to pay attention to her ..... Gay dance, Bullet Bras, Blah, Blah, Blah. Trump may have even taken a page out of Madonna's play book on how to be an outrageous character (and he is quite the character--like calling the CIA a bunch of Nazi's.)

    So you are comparing wanting to kill someone with a guy groping a woman?

    Not only that but Madonna was openly inciting others to do violence to others with her hypocritical demeaning "suggestion".

    That Women’s march wasn’t about women’s empowerment. They didn’t even allow other women there who were pro-life. It was about accusing Trump of taking your rights away, which he actually has no plans of doing. In truth it was about fear mongering and anger that their candidate didn’t win. More to the point it was about the pro-choice agenda. What kind of a Christian would take part in something like that?

    Context. I'm not a world famous celebrity known for doing and saying outlandish things in front of thousands of people. No one takes her seriously.

    Nope because both are mental cases..... Frankly I dont take any of them seriously. However since Trump is :Cautious Er, ahhhh," Leader of the Free World" and a known sex deviant....I tend to weigh his actions with more gravity.

    Problem? Bottom line pertaining to the subject:

    "That Women’s march wasn’t about women’s empowerment. They didn’t even allow other women there who were pro-life. It was about accusing Trump of taking your rights away, which he actually has no plans of doing. In truth it was about fear mongering and anger that their candidate didn’t win.

    Kind of a sad, very weak, that all the argument you would have to offer against all the reasoning I gave in opposition to the claim of the “Women’s March’ motive” being to “Encourage women to be an active voice.” – Wherein showing it truly being motivated otherwise, factually inaccurate and purely hypocritical is for you to try to pretend my closing argument of a moral dilemma was the base of my reasoning and therein a “No True Scotsman” fallacy. You’ve totally lost the purpose of calling out a fallacy, which is pointing to an error in reasoning, as if that if a moral dilemma is all I offered – at the end of my argument, as if that was my argument. Fallacy much! But not mine… ;)

    Does this mean she is free to mouth off about anything, in any manner, she doesn't agree with ---- with NO consequences????
    Not putting words in your mouth, just trying to grasp your intended meaning; seemed a bit over-the-top as a general statement.:Thumbsdown

    You too avoided my entire argument for a play on my closing moral dilemma. If fact, in doing so you even avoided my very question with a suggestion that if some Christians were there then that must somehow justify a Christian supporting what I spelled out as the true motive of the "Women's March".

    Dodge much...

    Must I spell out for you why your reasoning that some there might claim to be a Christian doesn't in any way, shape or form answer my question of why a Christian would be part of that considering the true motive of a pro-choice agenda?

    The bit about Pro-life women isn't true. In fact, they had a Pro-Life nun as one of the guest speakers. You'll have to prove that pro-life women weren't allowed. You can't because it isn't true.

    Now were there some incidents between Pro-Choice and Pro-Life attendees? Probably.

    Kind of odd that you would want me to believe that little token gesture negates the undeniable platform the Women’s March stands on which is “women’s reproduction rights” AKA - Pro-choice abortion. They even revoked any partnership with the pro-life feminist organization New Wave Feminists just before the march, uninviting them, citing the abortion views stated in their platform. They spit on and cursed any pro-life women that did show up, yeah, that was their way of supposedly supporting women having an “active voice”. Really, no dominating pro-choice agenda out of the Women's March Organization is the “truth” you would ask me to believe? Sorry, but think you better check your glasses, they appear to have a distorted lens…

    Sorry but you are wrong. I had friends there who are pro-life.

    Also, there were some anti-Trump signs, but there were more that were on topics such as equality for all.

    Oh, and there was a hell fire and damnation preacher walking around screaming through a megaphone. His witness would have been more meaningful if he had rented some porta-potties and handed out literature and not deafened folk.
