Hello stupids!! They do BREAST EXAMS and if they find something, they can REFER for mammograms. Duh. Why spin this? Showing your lack of intelligence or just ugly spirit? Must be rethuglican. Can't make any sense of their inane b.s. so you have to lie to try to get followers. Way to go! Hope it all comes back to you.

More GOP lies. A quick look at Wikipedia under planned parent hood would show they do not do mammograms. The only scandal is the Christian Taliban politicians have targeted PP. Some woman on a show says mammogram and it's a conspiracy. You have to be the next level of lowlife to be a GOP supporter. When does Christian sharia law come out, so you can force your views on a democratic country.
@TheZoonib - #1, Wikipedia? (Give me a break...) #2, Christian Taliban? (Got hate?) #3, democratic country? (where did you learn THAT? You can't find the word democracy anywhere in the U.S. Constitution or the Declaration of Independence, so you might want to brush up on your U.S. History... or maybe you want to just continue in your ignorance. It's really telling when the liberals start thinking they control private companies, but hey, look at Comrade Obama's record. Obey your TV!!!
For those who may not know: 70% of all breast cancer is detected through self-examination. If you don't know how to do one go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation web site for instructions on how to do one.
To say that women must have a referral to get a mammogram isn't factual. There are numerous facilities nationwide that offer mammograms through self-referral. I have my mammogram done through such a facility.
PP has never claimed to give mammograms; they give breast cancer screenings and mammogram referrals. A mammogram isn't the first step in detecting cancerous anomolies--a breast exam is, or at the very least detecting a lump. You don't go in and get an X-ray every time you visit a Dr, just to make sure you don't have any broken bones.
Planned Parenthood provides screenings, pap smears, and other services to low income, under- and un-insured women & those who don't have primary care providers.
@PostgodAfterbirth are they the only institution to provide such things? Is the money donated being SOLELY spent on the breast cancer related issues?
@rootedinjesus PP provides contraception & educational materials about family planning & sexual health. Fundies want to criminalize birth control, make people sexually ignorant and institute failed abstinence-only education. PP does cancer screenings, mammogram referrals (& often pay for low-income women to get those mammograms), STD testing, teach women how to do preliminary breast self-exams, provide contraception, educate about safe sex, and provide abortion services for those who need it.
@PostgodAfterbirth You're pro-choice, aren't you? I can tell by the way you believe that contraception and abortion are helpful. Truth is, though, "safe sex" may prevent children from being conceived, but it doesn't alleviate the negative effects of having sex outside of marriage.
Is abortion wrong? My answer is yes. I don't know about yours, but I think that the solution to the "problem of unwanted children" is not abortion, but rather eliminating the need for it. PP is not for that.
No matter how much of Planned Parenthood's services go to abortions, they are still the leading abortion provider in the WORLD. And one fourth of all abortions performed in the USA are performed by Planned Parenthood.
At my doctor's office, mammograms are done there. No "referral" to a hospital or some other medical facility. PP clinics could easily do the same--if they were really interested in women's health.
Yeah. I'm saying PP is not really interested in women's health. I'm saying PP is interested in money. And lots of it. They take tax money and they strong arm charities for more money supposedly so they can provide mammograms, which they do not do. And what about the baby girls they abort? Do they care about their health too?
PP doesn't claim to do mammograms; it claims to do breast exams and referrals for mammograms, just like any gynecologist refers a patient to a lab after finding a reason to do so in the initial breast exam. PP's president's claim that women won't get mammograms without PP, therefore, is accurate, because without the prerequisite exam and the referral, women won't have access to mammograms.
@MsTerryMarie Well then maybe one of those correspondents on the phone should have mentioned that. They didn't, because you don't have to go to PP to get a referral for a mammogram and I doubt they actually do breast exams since they didn't mention that either.
@MsTerryMarie - Wow! You parse the statement in perfect Bill Clinton fashion. Are you in advertizing or are you a press secretary by any chance? I know an administration that could use your help :-)
Planned Parenthood locations themselves do not provide certain medical services, you go to them for planning and concerns with certain issues and they will refer you for a breast cancer screening or a mammogram at a medical facility. Then they will PAY for those services if a woman cannot afford it. In the last 5 years, PP has paid for nearly 4 million breast cancer screenings and 70000 mammograms. People, do your own research and don't buy into crappy one side propaganda videos.
@Quanta2998 well, they certanily don't need money for referrals. Insofar as they do receive money for paying for mammograms, there need to be safeguards put into place that donations intended for breast cancer related issues goes directly to that exercise and not to abortion funding.
@Quanta2998 PP is not the last and only resort to obtain referrals. If there can be no rational distinction made between cancer funding and abortion funding then they don't warrant any funding.
It is sad that even a little money from the Susan G. Komen Foundation might be used for something other than its intended goal. If Planned Parenthood is referring their clients elsewhere, they will continue to do so even without the money from the Komen Foundation. The foundation could attempt to earmark their funds, but we all know that would not work either, because of dishonesty and desperation for funds. They need to pull their funds and support those specific to breast cancer screening.
Whatever PP CLAIMS its numbers are - according to a report they still perform 26.7% of ALL abortions done in America...so saying its 3% or 10% of their services is not really giving a WHOLE perspective on the issue. Just stating the facts.
This video is as stupid as it is dishonest. Nobody phones up and asks for a mammogram, EVER. That's simply not how it works. You go to your doctor, who does a breast exam. If he or she thinks a mammogram is advisable, you'll be referred to a radiology clinic or hospital to have it done. Then the doctor will follow up on the results. In the case of Planned Parenthood, both the doctor's fee and the cost of the mammogram are paid for if the women can't afford it and has no insurance.
@JoannDurocher UM, no. People *do* call up and ask for mammograms. And at my doctor's office, they do mammograms right there--no "referral" somewhere else. PP clinics could easily do the same--*if* they were *really* interested in women's health.
Those who don’t agree with PP’s philosophy on abortions and family planning are the culprits. Planned Parenthood helps to pay for health screenings such as breast exams, pelvic exams, and pregnancy prevention to name a few, & some do mammogram screenings for referral services. Instead of only attacking this woman, attack the agenda of those who are undermining PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS that serves CHOICES to its community. Those agendas always use their faith to impose their beliefs onto others.
Great video. Just tell the fucking truth. Jesus, if they have to hide what they really do, and pretend it's just one tiny little thing they do, then what does that tell you about it? Guilty consciences?
You need to stop misleading people. You know good and well that Planned Parenthood doesn't have the mammography machines on site. You go to a place, like an MRI Center, that has the machines. Planned Parenthood does the screenings to make the referrals, and sometimes give vouchers to help you pay for the mammogram, AFTER they have done a breast cancer screening. Misleading people on purpose is lying. LYING IS A SIN. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF! Fight abortion with honesty, NOT lies.
The point is the person speaking in favor of Planned Parenthood makes it sound like no one will be able to get mammograms if Planned Parenthood is not funded. It makes it sound like this is a huge part of what they do, and obviously that is not the case.
Some clinics provide mammogram services, some don't. This video is clearly designed to make it look as though none of them do. That's simply not true.
If liberals want an abortion, go to Planned Parenthood. IF you want a mammogram, ask your doctor for a referral to a clinic or look it up online. Oh...if you need condoms, go to any local drug store. Easy to find.
@vernieistooold And if you can't get a doctor's referral because you have no insurance? Or you can't afford to see an obgyn for a PAP smear? What then?
@armstors Might I suggest cutting off the cable or even cellphone for a month, and get yourself checked? Don't even! I do social work and there was a time I couldn't afford a cellphone or cable while working forty a week, yet my "clients" had sometimes two and always answered voluntarily yes to whether or not they had cable. It's YOUR responsibility to find a way to take care of YOURSELF! Or else die. Which if you do, its your fault not mine, not others, IT'S YOUR FAULT!
@armstors Plus, there are free clinics for the working uninsured. Which if you are not, then there is state insurance, which unless you have scammed them, you are qualified for. One or the other.
@vernieistooold What if you have no health insurance and no money to pay a doctor? Planned Parenthood provides care for women with low incomes who can't afford a doctor.
I'm sorry, but this video clip does not prove your point at all. What it says is that you can arrange phone calls in the hopes that people are going to blindly accept that what you are telling them is the truth. Perhaps if you did hidden camera going into a facility and getting turned down, or just plain and simple go in and ask them directly with a camera and ask for a mammogram. I could just as easily script people and call them up and have them say that they do provide the service...
Neither does your doctor... Mammograms are a specified service and women need a REFERRAL to get one, which would cost low-income women money they don't have at a regular doctor's office. PP provides these women with the referral they need to get the life-saving service where that service IS provided. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure that out.
Funny people would say "only refferals" that is what they DO! offer refferals and discounts or free at the time of service with the provider. Why are people so dense?
This is a spin on the truth. Planned Parenthood offers refferals for mammograms. It is at low cost or free if you meeting income and age qualifications. Please don't believe the hate right wing tools like Lie la Rose. She is a liar. She would rather a woman die, than loose the focus of her political agenda.
I just checked with every PP clinic in Oregon on PP's own website. None offer mammograms, only referrals to other organizations that do... copied and pasted here directly from their site: "mammogram referrals"
I got a mammogram and a pap at the PP in Portland. This video is just an over-edited smear campaign. If they didn't give out mammograms, then how come I was able to get one? Oh ya, because you guys/gals that created this video are liars!
George Washington wouldn't approve of forcing someone to pay for another person's mistake. Either don't have unprotected, unprepared sex OR HAVE THE BABY AND GIVE IT TO SOMEONE WHO WANTS IT!!!! ADOPTION!!!! You "open-minded" subtle condescending pricks trying to take the high moral ground by playing off women's rights is deplorable. I wish some of your dad's wore a condom...
@UTKmusicMajor George Washington would probably support abortions, since he owned slaves. Their philosophy was using/forcing someone else to get what you want. Abortions aren’t just about a moment in time decision to do or not to do something. It’s a bigger issue about an outcome that affects us all. Someone is going to pay no matter what. Thus, options and support at every level should exist for whatever decision that is made. Some of these supports would serve as a reason not to do it,
If you look on the plannedparenthood website, you can see what services are offered at each location. Many clinics do not even provide abortions, only referrals, so to make them all sound like surgical facilities is grossly incorrect. Some of them do not provide women's healthcare, and some do--which may not mean mammograms, but certainly breast screenings and ACCESS to free/reduced-cost mammograms.
WTF is your problem? They never said they provided mammograms. They do all kinds of cancer screenings but mammography machinery is amazingly expensive. MOST DOCTORS have to refer out for mammograms! It doesn't mean they aren't screening for and treating the problem! Idiots!
When I didn't have health ins, I went to a Planned Parenthood clinic that found a lump during breast screening and referred me elsewhere to get an ultrasound/mammogram. The point is that for many women without health insurance, there is no other way to get these kinds of services for free. The money from Komen grants went ONLY to providing breast screenings. Without that money, there are less free breast screenings in areas that are underserved and underprivileged. That's the bottom line.
rgaret Sanger, (founder) through Planned Parenthood, advocated abortions on Afro-Americans in order to eliminate what she called "socially undesirable people". Genocide against Afro-Americans...notice you WONT find a Planned Parenthood building in an upscale WHITE neighborhood. ONLY lower income and literally African American populated cities....still...to this day. Yet people ignorantly STILL defend this place as "good for women".
@Brenda0312F That is not true. You don't know what you are talking about - I've been a patient at several different locations in both affluent and struggling neighborhoods (West Village in Manhattan, the Bronx, Somerville, MA). Please stop spreading misinformation when you apparently are going on your own visual observations.
@Brenda0312F Of course you won't find Planned Parenthoods in upscale neighborhoods, because those people already have health insurance and access to women's/reproductive healthcare. There is no advocating of abortion, only advocating of choice, as having a baby at a young age or with little means is often not the best path for some people. People who turn to Planned Parenthood do so because they have no other place to go.
Classic example of confirmation bias: just more smear from anti-choice zealots. If your ax to grind is that embryos are fully aware human beings, then say so. This is rotten reasoning amounting to little more than lying by omission. You may rile up folks that already share your bias but you don't fool the rest of us.
Our government, my tax money should not got to fund an organization that murders children. If they want to fund the murder of babies they can raise the money themselves not give my taxes to them to murder. Women can get healthcare at plenty of facilities where they don't push for the murder of children.
Not five minutes ago, after watching this video, I called my local Planned Parenthood location, and asked, "Do you provide breast exams or mammograms?" They said yes, and offered to make an appointment for me.
It's possible that not all PP locations are funded well enough to be able to afford mammography equipment. (Whose fault is that?) But to say that Planned Parenthood as an organization doesn't provide mammograms is a lie.
@myway213 Maybe PP should put more of the millions and millions they get in tax payer funds as well as donations, towards getting mammogram equipment, rather than paying their founders 6 figure incomes? That might be a start. Oh, and not claiming that they as a whole offer them, just some. I'd be interested in how many exactly out of all their clinics actually do screenings, and not just shuffling people to another unaffiliated clinic.

PP helps a lot of young women avoid unwanted pregnancies with free or low cost bc pills and other bc methods. I'm all for that. thankfully they were there for me when I was young and broke so I could wait and plan and be married and have money before having a child.I am grateful for that.
I hate the complete "style over substance" culture we have. PR campaigns by any group should be met with suspicion and a "devil's advocate" position, ESPECIALLY by "news" reporters. "Non-profits" are some of the worst because political correctness dictates we don't question them because that means we hate women or children or cancer research or puppies or whatever the "non-profit" is affiliated with. No one and no group is above accountability or criticism.
Increased funding and less efforts having to be put into fighting the clueless hoards would only increase their ability to offer more cancer screenings. Not to mention, their main effort has always been to offer assistance with std screening and contraception...thus the name.
@MissSurreal You lie as well.... They just want to kill babies..... You make the mothers pay to kill their own babies. We don't want the blood on our hands!
They have never claimed to offer cancer screenings at every facility. Only about 16% of their efforts go into cancer screenings. The results are not too far off from the percentages. Although I find it somewhat unlikely that not one phone call was made where they said yes. Both my sister and I, in two completely different clinics in the United States, had cancer screenings done at Planned Parenthood. My sister's was done in Pittsburgh and found that she had cervical cancer due to HPV.
Dr John McDougall has made a thorough review of pertinent literature on mammograms. He points out that the $5-13 billion per year generated by mammograms controls the information that women get. Fear and incomplete data are the tools commonly used to persuade women to get routine mammograms. Says Dr McDougall:
Mammograms do not prevent breast cancer. Dr Tim O’Shea warns that harmless breast cancers can be made active by the compressive force of routine mammography.[10]"
All this is aside from the fact that Planned Parenthood IS NOT the largest provider of women's health care in the country, mammograms or not. They ARE, however the largest provider of abortions.
(Edit: I had stated that as "one of the largest providers of abortions". Upon looking into this, yes, they are in fact THE single largest provider of abortion services in the U.S.)
@DarthMohammed While that may be true, abortions only account for about 3% of their services. That means that they do 5-6x as many breast cancer screenings. They do more than ten times as many STD screenings. They do pap smears, prenatal care, and provide information and counseling about possible birth control methods.
No matter what your stand is on abortion the best way to stop them is to provide information and contraceptives for the prevention of unwanted pregnancy.
while Planned Parenthood says abortions make up just 3 percent of its services, I found they used an sleight of hand, unbundling family planning services so each patient shows anywhere from five to 20 "visits" per appointment (12 packs of birth control would show up as 12 individual visits). It does the opposite for abortion visits, bundling them together so each appointment shows as one visit..''
'This skews the numbers. You have an overwhelming number of "visits" for family planning compared to abortion, even though you may have seen the same number of patients.''
@JonnyTruant Not if 60% of abortions in the USA count for the failure of contraception. The problem is that contraception naturally leads to abortions.
@JonnyTruant that's a lie. It's over 10%. NPR (definitely not a bastion of conservatism) debunked that 3% theory. Google "Planned Parenthood 3% NPR" and see for yourself.
@JonnyTruant Come on Johnny, you know PP doesn't release any numbers ! How can you watch this video and then say they offer mammograms? They are an abortion mill, plain and $imple !
@JonnyTruant No, actually, the best way to stop abortions is to not have sex. I know, easier said than done... and lets face it, people really don't like self-control especially concerning sex.
@63utuber Would you care to back up that nonsensical "3% lie" bit with a link or a fact or two? Preferably something that doesn't smell like it came from some RWNJ opinion blog or a Fox pundit.
My wife got a mammogram and pap smear at the Planned parenthood in Dallas. Some of their clinics have the equipment to perform them, some don't. Our local clinic didn't have it, but the one across town did. So if I did targeted phone calls to clinics or just took the ones from those who don't have the equipment I could have done the same thing. But then I'm not a smear artist.
@j212jh Not at all. They provide breast cancer screenings and many provide referrals to hospitals or clinics with the equipment for low or no cost mammograms.
@Brenda0312F They don't. They advertise screenings. Most cancers are still found by manual screenings by trained physicians and they provide referrals for low or no cost mammograms at clinics or hospitals with the equipment, as well as biopsies.
@JonnyTruant I'm sure your wife did get those services, but let's not pretend as Planned Parenthood does that they are the only provider of medical care to low income women. For one example, if you have medical assistance, you can go to plenty of other clinics.
@mrsmomcat The don't claim to be the only one. They provide necessary services in locations which are under-served by other forms of clinics or which have a large uninsured or low income population.
@JonnyTruant and just because YOU say your wife got one makes it so. Nothing but an alleged smear on an alleged smear. They apparently called major city clinics so whether it was Dallas or not, it seems they do NOT provide those services as they are claiming. Nothing but lies but that's to be expected from liberals...
Services provided by PP vary by location. I'm not aware of any PP locations that provide mammograms though some may but they certainly do provide many services other than abortions. Most of the arguments against public funding of Planned Parenthood are that if PP gets funding for well woman exams this frees up more money collected elsewhere for abortions.
To those of you commenting on here who are pro-life, your opinions are all well and good. I do not think the taking of any life is a good thing. But what right do I have to tell Jane around the corner from me that she cannot get an abortion (or ten of them if she chooses). That is NOT my right, just like it is not your right either. Choose what you do with your own body but leave mine and Jane's out of your decision.
@rhiandjen Biologically, the fetus is different from the mother in DNA, blood type, etc. It is not PART of the mother's body, just temporarily housed there. So when a mother is considering abortion she is not considering what to do with "her body" so much as the destiny of the one within her body. Also, since surgical abortion interrupts the growth process, it is in fact the killing of a biological human being. If murder after birth is wrong so should murder before birth be wrong.
...I'm pretty sure she was talking about the referrals that allow women to get mammograms elsewhere at a low cost. The PP website does not state that it provides mammograms.
Planned parenthood gives out contraception to millions of women and girls. That alone makes them VERY valuable and worth every tax penny they receive.
@geezusispan If that's what makes them valuable, then by your logic, superfluous services (like abortions) should be cut and non-existent services (like mammograms) should be added to their organization. Then there would perhaps be less of an issue with them receiving public funding.
@ColorMeMidori Planned Parenthood services that are low cost are because they get government money that allows Planned Parenthood to make money no matter how much the customer pays. So you can say "more power to them" but their services are actually very limited compared to the almost 7,000 federally qualified health centers nationwide. And I think people do care that they lied. People can care about more than one thing.
@ColorMeMidori The problem is that they are making false statements and promises. Last time a checked making false statements is not a good thing to do.
@MsMirrorMirror In response to this video Planned Parenthood told the Washington Post that they never claimed that they offered mammograms. Where in Texas was this? This is news to us.
@ReasonableHope If i were harassed with such venom as I have witnessed in reply to MsMirrorMirror, I wouldn't reply either. For people who are supposed to be so Christian and loving and forgiving, you all speak with such vitriol, intolerance and seeming downright hatred. I thought I read somewhere judge not lest ye be judged and he who is without sin may cast the first stone. Go home and look in the mirror, are you that person?
@mrskingsbury71 Thank goodness for a sane and reasoned response to these horrible, mean spirited people. I truly cannot imagine that someone who believes in Jesus could sound like these folks. I have always pictured Jesus as a kind, gentle, loving, non-judgmental figure. I may not be their form of Christian, but I do try to follow his example, as best I can. Thanks for your response.
@feesgranny so you think that if Jesus were alive he would be a baby killer! I think not, do you not remember him turning over the tables in the temple. there is such a thing as righteous anger. and I think Jesus would be very outraged about murdering defensless little baby's. Especially in the name of choice when it is not choice it is selfishness. that child does not have a choice and the father does not have a choice. just the woman (not mother would murder her own child).
@thughart1 I read feesgranny comment and nowhere in her comment did she state that Jesus would kill babies. This is a troll comment trying to attract attention and start an argument where no argument exists. If you read that she liked my comment and you read my comment you would know what our part of the conversation was about...go troll somewhere else!
@feesgranny I just can't believe that the comments that are left here are in the true spirit of christianity. You see it everyday, they preach one thing and live another.
@mrskingsbury71 ironic, thats exactly what liberals do, preach tolerance meanwhile being completely intolerant towards anyone with a differing opinion.
@xCaliSunshinex I don't think it's exclusive to liberals, or any one religious group. You can find people like that everywhere and you don't even have to look that hard.

@PostgodAfterbirth You're pro-choice, aren't you? I can tell by the way you believe that contraception and abortion are helpful. Truth is, though, "safe sex" may prevent children from being conceived, but it doesn't alleviate the negative effects of having sex outside of marriage.
Is abortion wrong? My answer is yes. I don't know about yours, but I think that the solution to the "problem of unwanted children" is not abortion, but rather eliminating the need for it. PP is not for that.

PP doesn't claim to do mammograms; it claims to do breast exams and referrals for mammograms, just like any gynecologist refers a patient to a lab after finding a reason to do so in the initial breast exam. PP's president's claim that women won't get mammograms without PP, therefore, is accurate, because without the prerequisite exam and the referral, women won't have access to mammograms.

Planned Parenthood locations themselves do not provide certain medical services, you go to them for planning and concerns with certain issues and they will refer you for a breast cancer screening or a mammogram at a medical facility. Then they will PAY for those services if a woman cannot afford it. In the last 5 years, PP has paid for nearly 4 million breast cancer screenings and 70000 mammograms. People, do your own research and don't buy into crappy one side propaganda videos.

@Quanta2998 well, they certanily don't need money for referrals. Insofar as they do receive money for paying for mammograms, there need to be safeguards put into place that donations intended for breast cancer related issues goes directly to that exercise and not to abortion funding.

It is sad that even a little money from the Susan G. Komen Foundation might be used for something other than its intended goal. If Planned Parenthood is referring their clients elsewhere, they will continue to do so even without the money from the Komen Foundation. The foundation could attempt to earmark their funds, but we all know that would not work either, because of dishonesty and desperation for funds. They need to pull their funds and support those specific to breast cancer screening.

This video is as stupid as it is dishonest. Nobody phones up and asks for a mammogram, EVER. That's simply not how it works. You go to your doctor, who does a breast exam. If he or she thinks a mammogram is advisable, you'll be referred to a radiology clinic or hospital to have it done. Then the doctor will follow up on the results. In the case of Planned Parenthood, both the doctor's fee and the cost of the mammogram are paid for if the women can't afford it and has no insurance.

When I didn't have health ins, I went to a Planned Parenthood clinic that found a lump during breast screening and referred me elsewhere to get an ultrasound/mammogram. The point is that for many women without health insurance, there is no other way to get these kinds of services for free. The money from Komen grants went ONLY to providing breast screenings. Without that money, there are less free breast screenings in areas that are underserved and underprivileged. That's the bottom line.

@rhiandjen Biologically, the fetus is different from the mother in DNA, blood type, etc. It is not PART of the mother's body, just temporarily housed there. So when a mother is considering abortion she is not considering what to do with "her body" so much as the destiny of the one within her body. Also, since surgical abortion interrupts the growth process, it is in fact the killing of a biological human being. If murder after birth is wrong so should murder before birth be wrong.

I have always pictured Jesus as a kind, gentle, loving, non-judgmental figure. I may not be their form of Christian, but I do try to follow his example, as best I can. Thanks for your response.

@feesgranny so you think that if Jesus were alive he would be a baby killer! I think not, do you not remember him turning over the tables in the temple. there is such a thing as righteous anger. and I think Jesus would be very outraged about murdering defensless little baby's. Especially in the name of choice when it is not choice it is selfishness. that child does not have a choice and the father does not have a choice. just the woman (not mother would murder her own child).

@thughart1 I read feesgranny comment and nowhere in her comment did she state that Jesus would kill babies. This is a troll comment trying to attract attention and start an argument where no argument exists. If you read that she liked my comment and you read my comment you would know what our part of the conversation was about...go troll somewhere else!

@feesgranny I just can't believe that the comments that are left here are in the true spirit of christianity. You see it everyday, they preach one thing and live another.

@mrskingsbury71 ironic, thats exactly what liberals do, preach tolerance meanwhile being completely intolerant towards anyone with a differing opinion.

@xCaliSunshinex I don't think it's exclusive to liberals, or any one religious group. You can find people like that everywhere and you don't even have to look that hard.
