    That's beautiful. Reminds me of when they repeatedly rated Obama's lie of the year as "True" then "mostly true" only finally admitting it was a baldfaced lie when it was undeniable.

    They work with the Big Media conglomerates to ban points of view that reflect badly on certain parts of the spectrum, for example, they have also taken to rating the Babylon Bee, a parody site, because even though its a long and cherished American tradition to make fun of our representatives, apparently some views that poke fun at some sacred cows, cannot be allowed by those that think they hold the controls to public discourse.

    If we had better border security (to prevent illegals from entering the US in the first place) and if we were better/faster with deportations and enforcing visa overstays, we wouldn't have to discuss how/who pays for medical care for illegals because they wouldn't even be here.

    Let that sink in.

    When has it ever been any different? They killed Joseph Smith because he had a different idea about Christianity from a book he wrote..

    As long as we can be on alert. Like it or not we are the worlds policeman. In the absence if American willingness to to continue in that roll the bad guys of the world will take over.

    I wonder how some people can use issues they don't care about to beat other people over the head with.

    If an individual isn't doing something about an issue they have no right to complain about others not doing anything about it.
    In the words of a spoiled rich brat. " how dare you "

    Precisely.

    So, now a "conservative" wants to legislate when and to whom you can be charitable to? *LOL*

    Why do you want to tell a charitable organization not to be charitable? Why do you want to outlaw a religious belief in charity?

    Politifact has been a Left Wing propaganda site for a long time now. I didn't know people took them seriously?

    I don't.. i want charitable organizations to do what they do best regardless of what beliefs they do or don't have.

    I don't know how you got that as a take away from my comments.

    You specifically stated that you wanted to make it illegal to treat a class of people. It's not difficult to conclude that such a post is not "conservative", as you're outlawing charity to such people, and you're telling a religious entity not to follow a tenet of its religious beliefs.

    That's very hypocritical.

    Just further proof of the lying biased MSM and so called politifact.

    We had illegals camped out in a hospital room next to ours on my second child. Nurses were infuriated for the 2-3 days they were there and said it’s just a revolving door. And at the end of the day they walk out not paying a dime. And I have insurance and still pay. It’s ****ing disgusting. It’s not like they can bill them. They don’t give real addresses.

    Well, to be fair here, it isn't free. Those treated are billed for the services. The ability to pay those bills just never seems to be accomplished by those who receive the service. I ascribe a lot of that non payment to folks on the left who simply tell folks not to pay those bills. So, it is expensive. And for the record, what about folks being in the country illegally makes them "illegal" and requires quotes as if you don't believe in the legal definition?

    Doh! MAYBE you should read a little closer.

    There is a hint in the above sentence.

    Also it was said that these people go to the emergency room and that it is expensive. It was also said that these costs are reimbursed by the federal government. Aka the American tax payers.

    So American tax payers are paying for the healthcare of people who broke laws to be here.
    That's not charity, charity is voluntary. This is forcing people to pay welfare to illegals.

    See the difference?

    Every ER entrance I have ever seen has a cop in, or near the lobby.

    Also the suggestion that hospitals are run by people who reflect a religiously conservative view is absurd

    You mean that very short sentence didn't mean what it says?

    Very interesting.

    You’re asking us to ignore facts so you can make your point. No thank you.
