New poll from
#Economist
says stunning 82% of Democrats think "hunting for sport" is morally wrong,but only 38% say same about abortion. If you're moved by respect for all living things, isn't an unborn baby a living thing? Doesn't it have the intrinsic worth of a deer or a duck?

Immigrants ought to be judged on who they are, what they offer the US, not where they come from. That's the problem with the insane "diversity visa lottery." It's also the problem with
