I wonder how liberals would feel it was at least 60%.

I know hundreds of Mexican Americans and I know hundreds of conservative Mexican Americans. The liberal conspiracy to import voters is low hanging fruit used by idiot right wing pundits to stir up trouble. I'm sad to see it being effective.

Your parents created you when they had sex. Your dad's sperm fertilized one of your mother's eggs. It's biology, not a miracle by your god.

It would have been an actual miracle had your mother conceived you without a man's sperm impregnating one of her eggs.

For whatever reason, it's only white "born again" evangelicals that have issues with separation of church and state and believe their faith should be the law of the land. African-American evangelicals agree on almost everything theologically but they are able to keep their faith and their politics separate. Same for Hispanic Catholics, most white Catholics, and white non-evangelical Mainline Protestants.

Once again, it's ONLY white "born again" evangelical Protestants that want to force their specific faith on all Americans.

Slime plus time (i.e., abiogenesis and evolution) cannot create living systems, which are information. DNA is information. It doesn't come from nothing. It comes from intelligence. Genetic information is much more complex than even computer information. It cannot originate by chance.

For the most part, this is true.

Yes but they are intimately familiar with the negatives that come from the government having too much control over your life.
