This is from an evangelical Christian magazine:

"But the facts in this instance are unambiguous: The president of the United States attempted to use his political power to coerce a foreign leader to harass and discredit one of the president’s political opponents. That is not only a violation of the Constitution; more importantly, it is profoundly immoral."

There you have it. Straight from Mark Galli, the editor in chief of Christianity Today.

I suppose his opinion is based on evidence.  If so, cut and paste his evidence on this thread Doe.

"I suppose his opinion is based on evidence."

Yep. Publicly available evidence of his corrupt, criminal behavior that extends back to the early 1970s. Flagrant bragging about sexually assaulting women. Lies about everything from the size of his inauguration crowd to his net worth to his motivation for fighting the legally required release of his tax returns to a House committee. Openly asking a foreign adversary to commit an act of espionage to facilitate his election ("Russia, if you're listening"). Revealing classified information to agents of that same foreign adversary. Witness intimidation. Etc., etc.

And, oh, by the way, a public admission of the act for which he has been impeached in the form of a WH-released summary - not a full transcript, his lies notwithstanding - of his phone call with Zelensky. And a defiant confirmation ("get over it") of that confession in a press conference by his acting chief of staff.

  As Ayn Rand said:  

                                                             Communism enslaves by force

                                                                    Socialism by the vote

                                           It is merely the difference between muder and suicide!

Quoting from a long-discredited teller of fairy tales proves nothing except the gullibility of the quoter.

Ayn Rand

"Rand underwent surgery for lung cancer in 1974 after decades of heavy smoking.^[96] In 1976, she retired from writing her newsletter and, after her initial objections, she allowed social worker Evva Pryor, an employee of her attorney, to enroll her in Social Security and Medicare.^[97][98"

So much for attacking socialism. It was a fitting end to her life....

Why not correctly finish the post......  Ayn Rand paid taxes to earn both her Social Security and her Medicare.  To imply that those benefits were free is a typical liberal LIE.  State correct facts or stay off the forum!

"Ayn Rand paid taxes to earn both her Social Security and her Medicare."

Uhh, wixie-poo, that's the definition of socialism:  the people pay taxes to support government programs that provide for the common good. If you approve of Medicare and Social Security (note the first word in the name), you can't claim to be against socialism. Well, you can claim that - lots of clueless folks do - but you'll just be advertising your ignorance.

In the real world, it’s known as a quid-pro-quo.  You pay for something....you receive something in return.  Your socialist doctrine requires the gubment to take taxes from people who earn a living and give it to the worthless dimokrap slugs.  If that’s not socialism, please stick a dimokrap name on it, for us.  Define:  free college tuition, $1,000/yr to all, free Medicare for all, etc, etc......all campaign promises of your dimokrap idiots.

tell the story of someone who came up to him complaining of creeping Socialism and then launch into a litany of the things the federal government needed to do including increasing Social Security payments.  He said he came away with the thought "maybe he wasn't complaining so much about Socialism as about he fact it was creeping."

perhaps Wix and most on this forum should refuse Medicare and contribute their Social Security income to a rightwing bunch advocating for its abolition.
