Liar. You own link says the democrat filibuster defeated it. You whine about republicans not doing anything but offer prayer. I am showing you something republicans tried to do. Dems stopped it.

Just like you, Dems don't really care about people...hey care about a narrative. Your rhetoric is empty and you got caught lying in this thread.

You are pathetic.


ETA: I see SFP already destroyed you and exposed your lies.

So Democrats would rather nothing than something? If it isn't exactly what they want they filibuster. Thank you for proving my point. Sicko.

God is not a genie beholden to anyone who lays claim to the magic lamp. It's not about "being enough". People aren't praying because they think that's how all of the world's problems are solved, as if God works entirely outside of the means of humanity for all things. They are praying to show solidarity with the victims and their families. They are praying to help themselves cope with the tragedy. They are praying that God gives comfort to those affected by this terrible thing.They are praying for a change of heart and conversion for the evil people in the world that would want to do these sorts of awful things. The reason this is an issue is because prayer, itself, is under attack by those who want to minimize its importance to so many people. In their zeal to make themselves feel important, many are attacking those who say they are praying for not doing enough to show they really care, as if prayer isn't important at all and should be discarded entirely. Often times there isn't anything people can do except pray.

Dude there is no Big Gigantic overseer or God.

I’m sure democrats respect prayers if they are said from a prayer rug facing Mecca.

You have some stats to back that up?

That sounds like such a gotcha, but then on one side of the scale are tens of thousands of deaths by people who illegally own firearms. What have you got on your side of the scale?

Where’s James Taylor when you need him?

Then why did dems have to filibuster? If it had no chance of passing like you claim? Liar.

My side of the scale? I made no baseless claims (or clames).

No. You said the Cruz bill, which you were ignorant of, had no chance of passing. How many votes did it get? Why would the Dems need to filibuster a bill that had no chance of passing?

Fact is. Dems filibustered a bill that would have prevented the shooting in Texas.
