I'm tired of hearing progressive idiots, like Catholic Bishop Robert Lynch, trying to suggest traditionalists are to blame for Mateen.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 17, 2016
Jesus was no libertene. In fact, He had an expanded concept of adultery. When He intervened in the stoning,He did not exonerate her behavior— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 17, 2016
It's true that Jesus pardons but does not acquit the adulteress of the fact of her sin. He tells her to sin no more.Hypocrisy is also sinful— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 17, 2016
I don't know what to make of Mateen, but there is circumstantial evidence he was bisexual and he did not seem to be very religious.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 17, 2016
Not to make a gratuitous comparison, but people may recall professional wrestler Chris Benoit's murder-suicide with religious elements.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 17, 2016
I'm not a psychologist but I'm wondering if the Orlando massacre is another mental health incident. The gay Islamist narrative is a stretch.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 17, 2016

@Ebola6673 @SpeakerRyan Drop dead, Trump cultist. Anyway, it's unconstitutional. Can you say, impeach the Orange Fascist?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 17, 2016
@kotuzak @SpeakerRyan @TPM Are you freaking crazy? The House has sued Obama, on ObamaCare. Where have you been? Get your memory checked.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 17, 2016
@SaveUSA1776 The Orange Fascist is a Dem in Chinese-made clothing. In fact, the Fascist One blamed Romney's self-deportation policy for loss— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 17, 2016
@T_A_Whitney He's sticking up for the Constitution, Trump cultist. Trump is a HHHUUUGGGEEE loser.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 17, 2016
@T_A_Whitney The federal government cannot intentionally discriminate. It's part of the Constitution.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 17, 2016
The Trump cultists are livid over Ryan's "we'll sue him" if a prospective President Trump were to impose a ban on Muslim immigrants.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 17, 2016
Actually, whether Congress could authorize a discriminatory policy in immigration is a subtle question because of plenary power.doctrine— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 17, 2016
I'm not a lawyer, but note that Amn 14 Section 1 argues due process and equal protection for each PERSON (not citizen). This is ext Amn 5.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 17, 2016
@T_A_Whitney All residents, including aliens, are subject to US and state/local laws. (There's a minor exception for diplomats.)— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 17, 2016
@T_A_Whitney Congress could restrict immigration, which it has for nearly a century. It's economic suicide because they have alternatives.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 17, 2016
@kotuzak @SpeakerRyan @TPM I think they have also gone after him on unilateral immigration policy and/or other things.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 17, 2016
Now there's a subtle difference in the sense that a prospective immigrant is not under US jurisdiction where US laws apply. But pacts may.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 17, 2016
At minimum, it is an unacceptably hypocritical policy to say you have freedom of religion but only once inside the US.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 17, 2016
Freedom of religion is a fundamental core right, not state-conferred. It's one thing to say, we scrutinize migration for safety concerns.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 17, 2016
But to give an example, to admit a Syrian Christian refugee but not a Syrian Muslim, when both pass strict scrutiny, is a double standard.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 17, 2016
Welcome, John Kasich, to #NeverTrump. And kudos to Paul Ryan for telling House Republicans to vote their conscience on Trump.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 18, 2016

Trump said, ‘Everybody loves a fat guy. People will watch if you have a funny fat guy around. Trust me, it’s good for ratings.’ -AppProducer— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 18, 2016
Well, that explains why Trump loves photo ops with Chris Christie. But Trump cultists don't seem to like this funny fat guy.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 18, 2016
Since Trump is breast-obsessed, I wonder what he thought of the Clinton cleavage kerfuffle a few years back.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 18, 2016
