I don't know why you're so insistent that polls are unreliable. In any case the President should listen to the people. How exactly this is done best, whether by youtube interviews with random Americans or polls is not certain, but any effort at all is a good sign.

Please, elaborate what you mean by "vote them out". Don't you mean "endure them un ...[text shortened]... to do what they want as long as they don't get impeached - and that's not easy to do.
I wouldn't mind a youtube video without the interview part. Interview questions can be leading, just like the public opinion polls. It might take a while to watch everyones video, but at least the president would know what people want.

Yes, do not re-elect a president you don't like.

3.As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion...

2. Deut.12:23- The blood is the life-fetus has bloodstream at four weeks. However I still don't think it should be done even within those four weeks
4. I am a strong believer in the Bible and I won't doubt it.

Of course not, because then you would be doubting your own beliefs...

that being said, i don't support abortion. a woman is entitled to her own body, but in the case of pregnancy she shares that right with the child.(if two people own a land, one must ask the other if it alright to sell it, if that person is unavailable for the next 9 months, wait.)


except in the case of rape. that is the exception

Are you saying that God's word is a lie? Are you calling God Almighty a liar?

First I will ask you where the hell did you hear that?!😠
Second I will point out God's 10 commandments here's two of them
"Thou shall not murder"
"Thou shall not commit adaultry"
For some reason I don't think the Bible supports that.

I'd call the bible a work of humanity, not of god and therefore potentially containing lies. Despite that, it would certainly contain a good deal that was forgettable, inappropriate, refuted and pointless.

I can answer some of your questions.


1. Because the prisons are full of people who do drugs, which is against the law. There's a whole legal system that works these things out. The President doesn't make this call. These drug laws are silly, immoral and keeping violent offenders on the street.

2. Because the child, at least at some stages, ...[text shortened]... God in court, despite the fact that Jesus specifically tells us not to do that in the Bible.
The Treaty of Tripoli clrifies nothing. It's not a founding document and none of the founding documents were drawn from it, obviously, as it was written after the founding.

Thare are many documents that make it clear, but the Treaty of Tripoli isn't really one of them.

There is no God. The people who wrote in his name were deluded.

What does being a "founding document" have to do with anything? You make it sound like anything written after 1787 is irrelevant.
