TRUMP VP CANDIDATE FLYNN CORRECTS ABC’S RADDATZ: IT’S ‘ILLEGAL,’ ‘IF THEY’RE HERE ILLEGALLY,’ NOT UN
breitbart.com ^ | 10 July 2016

Posted on 07/10/2016 8:57:10 PM PDT by Helicondelta

Sunday, on ABC’s “This Week With George Stephanopoulos,” former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, advisor to presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, and a potential VP for Trump, retired Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn corrected guest host Martha Raddatz for referring to illegal immigrants as undocumented.

Partial transcript as follows:

RADDATZ: Let’s talk about immigration. Let me ask you, immigration, should all undocumented immigrants be deported?

FLYNN: So, undocumented or illegal?

RADDATZ: Undocumented, illegal.

FLYNN: OK. So, if you’re — if it’s illegal, it’s illegal. So…

RADDATZ: Undocumented?

FLYNN: Are they here illegally? I mean, if they’re here illegally, then it’s illegal. I mean, again, back to my very first point, the rule of law in this country is probably the single biggest strategic advantage that we have, above and beyond all other countries in the world. And we cannot allow the rule of law to break down.

The moment the seed fertilizes the egg, live occurs since that life will become a child if not aborted. So those “bundle of cells and tissue” that some call it, is actually a life that just doesn’t look like a bad physically yet. If it’s aborted, then it will never have the chance to grow into a child, and then adult. So yes, I’d say that’s life.

As for “it’s the woman’s body” argument, yes its her body with a life growing in her. It’s her choice as we all have free will. But it would be ending a life, regardless of if it looks like a baby yet or not.

What man has a right to tell a woman what to do with her body?.....

It's not her body. She's carrying a separate life. Do I have the right to crush my own car regardless of whether there are passengers in it? It's my car, after all.

I do .....unequivocally

Married 20 years and five kids

You damn right I have the right to insist my wife have our child I created with her unless it’s gonna kill her ....which is damn rare

I pinged four ladies so you can ask them

Btw....you just touched third rail here

And I like Flynn....he’s a general not a politician I’ve no clue how firm he is on culture but he’s right on borders and Islam

A great start

mythenjosph @42 : "What man has a right to tell a woman what to do with her body?"

It's not JUST the woman's body, but the body of the unborn infant living in the woman's uterus. It is as morally wrong to kill an unborn child as it is to kill a born child.

“What man has a right to tell a woman what to do with her body?.....”

No one has the right to tell a woman if, when, and with whom she can or should have sex with someone. That choice is fundamental for everyone, female or male - or should be. That said, when you make the choice to have sex with someone, and especially if it is unprotected sex, then you are responsible for the consequences of that choice. If a man has sex with a woman, and she becomes pregnant, he is responsible for the welfare and support of that child. It’s not his choice to decide he doesn’t want to be responsible. His point of choice was when he had sex with her in the first place. Choice has responsibilities, and should be the same for men and women. If a woman decides to have unprotected sex, and gets pregnant, she made that choice. She was rightfully in charge of her own body when she made that choice. As a consequence, she too has responsibilities that go beyond what she personally wants. IMHO.

Sorry, I don’t follow blindly. Now go out and “learn something”. Just a bit condescending with a touch of arrogance aren’t you.

Now hold your horses there, ChicagoGal. You have to ask yourself: if someone has no problem killing the most innocent among us, what will they not do?

Have you noticed that the ones who have consistently sold us down the river the most are also the most pro-death?

Life begins at the moment of conception. There is nothing different in that clump of cells that will be any different in 2 weeks, 8 weeks, 8 months. The blueprint of life is there.

To justify the killing of the most innocent of our species, those who have done nothing wrong, is our downfall.

Abortion is the Law. PERIOD. The VP can not change the Law, ONLY the Supreme Court can.

Calling an illegal immigrant an illegal immigrant is a “slur”. One of the many reason I hate liberals. Yes, hate.

What woman has a right to kill a child in their womb just because it is inconvenient? To accept that it is just the woman’s body that is affected is to deny that the unborn child is human, with a separate physical identity (confirmed by the fact of having separate DNA, related but not identical to the mother’s).

Their is a time for choice, but the time is before the intercourse, not after.

Is it legal or moral to kill your neighbor just because they inconvenience you?

According to the Constitution,Congress can change the law, and any law that the Supreme Court deems Constitutional or not.

Like we have seen for Obamacare for over 6 years, the GOP does not have the inclination to do anything as it has played us for the last 43 years like it was actually going to do something about abortion.

Is the VP Congress? No! The best you can say is that the VP is a tie breaker.

You said in post 50 that only the Supreme Court can change the law.

That is incorrect. Congress can change any decision of the Supreme Court, otherwise Congress is unnecessary.

We have three co-equal operating branches of government, but Congress has ultimate power over the other two.

If it chooses to do so.

“No one has the right to tell a woman if, when, and with whom she can or should have sex with someone.”

I don’t believe women who are institutionalized as being clinically insane or those who are otherwise mentally incapacitated (retarded) have that right. IF they do, they probably shouldn’t.

The act of being an Illegal Alien is not illegal, as it is not a crime to be an Illegal Alien.

Coming into the USA without permission, or overstaying their visa, is the crime. After that, they are illegal aliens.

Your statement is akin to saying that possessing money you've stolen isn't a crime. The crime was stealing it.

Whenever someone proposes that they're not "illegal" but "undocumented" is like my stealing your car, so that would make me an undocumented auto owner, not a car thief.

The complaining on this thread is about a VP consideration.

The Supreme Court ruled on a law and that opinion Roe vs. Wade which over ruled State Law.

A VP choice has hardly any power on the Roe vs. Wade opinion. You want to get the House and the Senate to write a law to abolish abortion and win? Really? What are you smoking? The best case for your argument is the power the VP has in a tie breaker.

What does “Undocumented” even mean?

It means that Willie Sutton wasn't a bank robber, he was making "undocumented withdrawals."
