Obamination
How this president “marked” the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
So let me see if I’ve got this straight; because being a brainwashed, knuckle-dragging, bitter clinger sometimes makes it hard for me to absorb all of the nuanced penumbrae emanating from the declarations of men like Barack Obama. A man who goes out of his way to encourage Americans to make sure that they never offend the followers of certain faiths, yet chooses January 23 — a day of mourning for all who cherish life — to offend the largest segment of them; pro-life Christians. A man who is the first U.S. president in my memory to issue a statement in favor of abortion on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
Of all the cherished utterances of our beloved leader the last three years, perhaps none is so divisive and offensive as this, his tribute to the judicial fiat that has resulted in the deaths of more than 40 million Americans, and a testament to his twisted views:
As we mark the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we must remember that this Supreme Court decision not only protects a woman’s health and reproductive freedom, but also affirms a broader principle: that government should not intrude on private family matters. I remain committed to protecting a woman’s right to choose and this fundamental constitutional right.
While this is a sensitive and often divisive issue — no matter what our views, we must stay united in our determination to prevent unintended pregnancies, support pregnant woman and mothers, reduce the need for abortion, encourage healthy relationships, and promote adoption. And as we remember this historic anniversary, we must also continue our efforts to ensure that our daughters have the same rights, freedoms, and opportunities as our sons to fulfill their dreams.
Yes, this sorry statement is not only insulting but also instructive, as it displays the same perverted outlook on the subjects of life and love he evinced when he opined that, should his daughters make a “mistake,” he didn’t want them “punished with a baby.” What exactly can he mean by suggesting that our sons and daughters — chilling words from the mouth of an abortion advocate — should have the same rights and freedoms? Do they not have them now? Might he be suggesting further gender-bending fiats along the lines of gays in the military, same-sex marriage, and his elevation of gay rights as a foreign policy priority?
Yes, that’s right; he has singled out discrimination against homosexuals abroad as a “deep concern” for his administration: not slavery, honor-killing, forced abortion or religious persecution. This sordid episode gives new meaning to George Washington’s warning about avoiding “foreign entanglements.” But what else can we expect from a man who for years sat at the feet of Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright?
A man who has the nerve to assert that “government should not intrude on private family matters,” by inserting itself into America’s sacred bedrooms, is the same man who, through his myrmidons in the Congress, used every unethical and thuggish subterfuge at his command to intrude that same government into every doctor’s office, nursing home, and operating room in the land via Obamacare.
That this man, who uses every occasion to spurn the Constitution — from czars, to executive orders to illegal recess appointments — has the nerve to lecture those who actually understand and revere that august document on the definition of the First Amendment is particularly appalling. Speaking of which, this is the same purported professor of constitutional law who just released an edict, aimed primarily at the Catholic Church, stating that she must comply with healthcare dictates that directly violate her sacred teaching.
Fortunately for us, the Constitution provides for a firewall against the foreseen ravaging of a free people by a tyrant like our current commander-in-chief and his accomplices in Congress. It is indeed ironic that the U.S. Supreme Court — the same body that found a right to abortion amid the smoking ruins of the 14th Amendment — recently issued a slap-down to Barack Obama and all who would seek to use the arm of government to control religious entities, in the form of a shocking unanimous decision in defense of religious liberty.
Such judicial victories may pave the way for more success against the incursions of men like Barack Obama, who have little understanding of our Constitution and even less about what passes for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Obama really doesn't care about any issues of equality.
If he or any other politician did care they would immediately get the government out of the equality business.
Once the government started granting equality through a series of punitive actions against the business class, there was an ironclad backdrop guarantee that no one would ever be truly equal again.
It's collectivism pure and simple. Group effort, group thought, group failure.
The group failure is continued through a series of routines but it all amounts to the same result.
The government becomes the arbiter or who wins and loses without any knowledge or care about how free markets should work.
It's a government of elitists who care not for results. In that sense all government is reduced to theatrics.
At that point the public simply embraces the best actors and actresses.
Purp| 1.26.12 @ 9:11AM
Hello? E Pluribus Unum - Out of many, ONE. That is what our country is about - one for all and all for one. The individualistic Marlboro Man may be romantically appealing, but now he has lung cancer, and he's back to earth and reality. We ARE all in this together, whether we like it or not. Why is it that only when we are attacked do we come together and all boundaries between rich/poor, R or D, young/old disappears in a whiff?
The President was elected by the majority of Americans and we should all support him. We don't have to like all his policies to support our President. If he wins the next election, we need to support him again. If Newt Gingrich wins, ruh-roh, we need to support him.
If not, you are not an American patriot.
Bob Grant| 1.26.12 @ 9:46AM
Derp,
Did you believe, and more importantly share, these views from 2001 to 2009?
Be honest.
Purp| 1.26.12 @ 10:56AM
After 9/11, yes ... but tbh the Florida fiasco tainted either a Gore or a Bush win and guaranteed either side would feel robbed or cheated. That subsided after 9/11, until the Iraq war came along. Then, resentment set in as the budget deficits ballooned, including the war budget that was kept off the books as "emergency funding" until Obama became President. Add to that the fiasco in Ohio voting machines, and the D's felt robbed again. Katrina really did in the Bush administration though.
JmsA| 1.26.12 @ 11:14AM
The democrats tainted the results of the 2000 election. All liberal newspapers from N.Y. Times to L.A. Times looked into the matter and found that Bush would have won no matter the method of counting the votes (chads) used. Governor Blanco (D) and the Chocolate Mayor, Nagging Nagin (D), screwed up and Bush got blamed for their incompetence and irresponsible behavior during an act of God.
Purp| 1.26.12 @ 1:53PM
Perception is reality ... in politics truth doesn't matter - if that really is the truth.
Nice racism there, Sunshine! Just reminds us that it is alive and well on the right!
markenoff| 1.26.12 @ 4:24PM
Purp,
JmsA was not being racist. He is referring to Mayor Nagin's racist comments:
"NEW ORLEANS -- Mayor Ray Nagin told a crowd gathered at City Hall on Monday for a march honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. that New Orleans will be "chocolate" again. "

Bob Grant| 1.26.12 @ 7:34PM
Show me the racism. Soon after the hurricane, Nagin expressed hope residents would rebuild a 'chocolate New Orleans'.
So Derp, what are the rules? Mocking racist comments made by a black mayor constitutes racism on the mockers part and not the person making the racist comment?
If you are not part of the Protected Class, you need to consult with one to get a ruling.
Report back to me when you do. Mkay?
Vern Crisler| 1.26.12 @ 3:54PM
You know if Obama is right that government cannot interfere in private family matters, then I wonder if he's opposed to Muslim honor killings.
Bob Grant| 1.26.12 @ 11:18AM
Yes, of course Bush's neglect of the environment led to a city-leveling hurricane...err, and of course an incompetent city (Nader) and state (Blanco) response was solely Bush's fault as well....
... Riddle me this: What do you think make people feel more robbed or cheated (A) dispute over a few hundred questionable votes due to voter stupidity, ALLEGED voting machine fraud or (B) the Fourth Estate (The Media) misleading and mis-educating MILLIONS of voters about obama's past and where he stands on issues? A media so in the tank for a candidate that they would stop at nothing to make sure he's elected?
And, or course, one could a series of books on the history of voter fraud inside the Democratic ranks.
Your double standard is disingenuous and incoherent my friend.
Purp| 1.26.12 @ 2:00PM
Three simple words describe why Bush was blamed so much for Katrina - not the hurricane, but the aftermath. "Heckuva job, Brownie", while thousands were suffering, homeless, lacking fresh water or food - not for hours, but for days.
Excuse me, but dear friend, the media was quite in the tank supporting the Iraq war and didn't ask the hard questions and went with the Bush policy of strike first. So, you see, the media does wield a large club, but it isn't as "liberal" as you all scream about - it is mostly owned by Conservative Corporations you know. They are a convenient target though.
Voter fraud is quite a right-wing myth with less than 50 proven cases from 2003-2006 leading to convictions. Hardly an epidemic, Sir.
Nice belief system you have there, but it isn't true.
TrueBlue | 1.26.12 @ 5:55PM
Bush is blamed because the Lousiana governor took his sweet time authorizing federal assistance in his state. A little known rule requires them to request help before the federal government can go in to assist. It's one of those annoying things that keeps the feds from usurping state power. Kind of like how the governor has to authorize the exchange of control of their National Guard over to federal control.
Terrible Ted| 1.26.12 @ 11:12PM
How about the "club" that media used to call Florida early for Gore in 2000 that was the reason the race was close in the first place? Conservatives at work?
Tony in Central PA| 1.26.12 @ 11:52AM
If budget deficits were a reason not to support the last President, they're even less of a reason to not support the current President.
Purp| 1.26.12 @ 2:03PM
Agreed, or the Congress or Wall Street and the Big Banks or Freddie/Fannie. We don't support a President because we like everything he does. But Katrina was really a bad showing of incompetence. On the other hand, capturing/killing Osama Bin Laden was quite a feat. Saving GM and the Auto Industry was quite an accomplishment as well. With GM #1 Car maker in the World, cheers to Presidents Bush and Obama that made it possible.
TrueBlue | 1.26.12 @ 6:07PM
Yup, GM got saved, now they've exported most of their business to other countries because it's too expensive to operate here. Plus those federal funds they got with no interest couldn't have ANYTHING to do with their sudden massive profits could they? Or what about the illegal use of federal power forcing the company to cover the losses of the various unions (who backed Obama) over the companies investors.
As for Osama... seriously? All he did was say, "Yes." The only credit that gives him is that he has more balls than Clinton did.
Congress... Dems had control of both the House and Senate for the first two years of his term, and everything he did made things worse. Thankfully they've finally started to stabilize now that he can't pass every stupid law he wants without issuing blatantly unconstitutional Executive Orders.
Freddie/Fannie should have been allowed to fail, the entire concept of "Too big to fail," is crap. Overlending is what resulted in the Great Depression (along with overspeculation with those borrowed funds) and it is what caused the Housing market crash because of two things; 1) Government guarenteed backing of all loans; 2) New government regulations requiring banks to meet certain quotas for those loans or face being shutdown for discrimination (like what happened with a lot of local banks) regardless of how obvious it was that people couldn't afford the loans. An entirely different set of quotas for loans was required to be met in order for the bank to be "allowed" to expand to another location.
The government has no business trying to dictate quotas to a private industry, nor do they need to be in the business of providing loans of ANY kind. Government has no reason to use money effectively, after all, it's not their money why should they care?
He brags about creating so many public sector jobs while purposely ignoring the extra 3% of the workforce that dropped out of even trying to get a job! Nevermind that public sector jobs DO NOT CREATE ANYTHING! The public sector is paid by taxes on private citizens, it's nothing but wealth redistribution. When the majority of people in this country become beholden to government for their paycheck freedom will cease to be.
Diogenes| 1.28.12 @ 3:59AM
Did you drive to work today? Then that 'nothing' you drove on was the proof that you're an idiot! It was created AN maintained by tax payer dollars. A lasting investment for EVERY citizen.
Tony in Central PA| 1.26.12 @ 8:04PM
Getting OBL was because of the military , and that was the culmination of a ten year effort.
I'd bet GM still has an unsustainable business model.
Funny how everything good that happens is a credit for Obama while everything bad is still GWB's fault.
Timothy L. Pennell| 1.26.12 @ 12:00PM
There was no Fiasco, perpetrated by Bush, in Florida. The Fiasco was Gore's, and the Florida Supreme Court's, in their efforts to ONLY RECOUNT specific Counties, instead of all of them.
And, ONE MORE TIME, Al Gore would have become the President of the United States if only he had Won his own State.
Let me say it, again, because I know how Godd*mn Stupid, Purp is.
HE LOST TENNESSEE.
The sitting Vice President lost the Election, because he Lost HIS OWN STATE.
So fckewe, Purp.
Purp| 1.26.12 @ 2:08PM
Oh, my calm, peaceful, kind, loving friend Timmy ...
You're wrong, as usual. It wasn't Bush or Gore - it was Florida's fiasco.
Al Gore would've won if he won any number of states, WV for example. Or if the infamous Butterfly ballot was not an issue. Or if Ralph Nader had not been in the race. Tennesseeans can answer why they didn't vote for their favorite son, who was their Senator just 8 years before.
You really do need a chill pill, my friend. You really can't do a d* thing about any of these elections - we really are just spectators with one vote each.
markenoff| 1.26.12 @ 4:26PM
The "butterfly" ballot in question had been used for decades in multiple states without issue in the past. We used them in Ohio during the same election with no issue.
Purp| 1.26.12 @ 5:00PM
And yet, many seniors complained they had trouble understanding how to use them. I guess it doesn't matter what the voters think in Florida. I'd like to believe the country officials were just stupid but I'm afraid it's just another voter suppression tactic. So we got 9/11, Iraq War, Afghan War and Katrina for some stupid ballot problem.
Thom| 1.26.12 @ 7:19PM
"And yet, many (Democrat) seniors complained they had trouble understanding how to use them (designed by Democrats).....
Diogenes| 1.28.12 @ 4:01AM
Timmy boy, you are partially right for once. The Florida election should have been completely voided and not only rescheduled in it's entirety, they should have used a different system without 'chads'. THAT would have made it transparent.

Boar Hunter| 1.26.12 @ 12:58PM
No, "we"are no longer all Americans. You claim to be American because you occupy her soil. I submit that being American involves more than you living here and stealing our oxygen.
You spend the entirety of you time here attacking America and everything our founding fathers considered to be American.
You praise a president who hates America. Whose father and mother were communist's and lovers of communism. No surprise to anyone that our president was mentored by communists and has continued to place communist lovers in his administration.
"Your" president has spit on the laws and constitution that America is composed of and you cheer him on.
As "your" president, Obama was qualified to be elected because he was black. What have "blacks" got in return? Ha. ha. ha. The type of blacks who voted their race got exactly what they deserve. Where's your unemployment gone since you elected this black man to office? Food stamps? Drug use and Jail time? Out of wedlock children? Hell has Obama even sent you a picture from the party?
When the communist Maxine Waters complained and asked were's our's? What was it your boy up in the big house told em? Obama's getting his, where's your's? Why did you think you were entitled to more than he gave his own brother? Why did you think it would bode any better for you than it did for the projects he organized in Chicago?
Does the crutch of racism ever get old to you? By any standard you can apply, the policies of Obama are further destroying the black community at every level and you mindless sheep cheer him on because of the color of his skin and nothing else. Margaret Sanger would be so proud of you! You are killing yourselves and the only response is to claim I, and others who actually care about the plight of families in the black community are racists.
How about you do something unique and take responsibility for your own actions. If you were an American, a good place to try and prove it would be to recognize and acknowledge the destruction Obama has done, not just to "blacks" but to all America. The only thing by any standard that has improved because of Obama's presidency are the bank accounts of Obama and his confederates.
Purp| 1.26.12 @ 2:22PM
Can't you read? JmsA stated " Chocolate Mayor, Nagging Nagin (D)," - now you don't think that sounds racist?
In any case, you are so misinformed it's hard to know where to start.
Let's start with crime is down around the country, and so is unwed pregnancies. Unemployment is down from it's peak and is lower than since 2008. 3 million jobs have been created since Obama took office. Food stamp usage has climbed, that's true, but that's a result of the Great Depression II that GW Bush left behind.
An American IS an American precisely because you CAN spit on the flag or the Constitution, if you want. You cannot do that all over the world. I would not, mind you, but then that's me.
It's funny that you profess to love the Founders, but deny some of the freedom they so cherished and don't understand the Constitution. Show me where in the Constitution the Senate can simply ignore to vote on nominees for office that the President has nominated. Show me where the filibuster is listed as legal and constitutional, can you? Show me where a simple majority is not sufficient to pass any law in the Senate? Until you can do that, shut up about the Constitution that you know nothing about.
Boar Hunter| 1.26.12 @ 2:49PM
You are beyond help. I thank you for proving all of my points. You are simply either crazy or a liar and a lover of lies.
I do not profess to understand how to show you anything when you simply deny the truth and in your Alice in Wonderland world twist logic to the point of breaking.
By the way, Mayor Nagin was the one who used the term chocolate in response to being called out on and trying to walk back his previous racist comments. You must have heard a dog whistle cause calling a spade a spade is not racism. You just like to scream racism when you are confronted with any truth concerning yo' people.
Like Obama, Nagin's only qualification to be Mayor was the color of his skin.
Bush? Seriously? Blame Bush is what you come with? You are pathetic.
I care not because you are no American.
Purp| 1.26.12 @ 3:18PM
OMG - are you 12? I can call myself names, but you can't .... Ray Nagin talking about himself, does NOT give a pass to others to say the same about him. JmsA made it a point to add that, and you know d* well why he did it. Or are you just stupid?
Whether you like it or not, I am an American. The real question is whether YOU are an American. You question my right to free speech every time we turn around. You call me names, you're condescending, y0u try to bully. That's no American. It certainly isn't what America is all about.
You may be an American according to a birth certificate, but you're not much of a human being, Chuckles. Your mother would not be proud ...
Boar Hunter| 1.26.12 @ 3:59PM
Seriously that was comedy!
What a hypocrite, lol. You of all people presume to chastise people for calling names?
There goes that dog whistle again.
Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot. The only ones the rules apply to are the bullies on the conservative side. Liberals, like you, think you can say whatever you want. Guess what, some of us are tired of the cowards on the Republican side for exactly that reason.
I am personally not going to try and justify my feelings toward you or anyone else in the interest of political correctness. Shockingly, I do not subscribe to the "Only white people can be racist" view you try and bully others with.
I don't think that if it's wrong for a white man to hang out with racists that it is some how acceptable for your boy Obama to go to a racist church for 20 years. I don't think it's OK for him to pal around with the Black Panthers who push for the death of white babies and threaten people at the polls.
I don't think it's OK for you to try and bully other people with the race card and then feign outrage when one of your racists is forced to back peddle and uses a term someone else throws back at him. You can cry about how unfair it is all you want. I will continue to call you names if I believe they are warranted. You sir are no American.
As is usually the case with one of your delusional rant's, I never once stated that you should not be able to or allowed to say what you do. Fool that you are, I for one would defend your right to say them to my own death. That does not mean I have to agree with the anti-American tripe that billows from your twisted mind onto the key board. When you do so in a public arena I am as justified as you in stating my opinion.
Oh and my mother? Is that a black thing?
Purp| 1.26.12 @ 5:07PM
What is your obsession with black? Methinks there's a racist under your pillow.
And, just who put you in charge of deciding what's American and who is American? You are the worst example of a bigoted, egotistical bloviate - well maybe Timothy is worse. But still, neither is a very American tone. Maybe in a cage match on WWF, but not a true American.
Since when is there a contest for who is more American anyway? That's just stupid. But that's all you got, isn't it? You don't discuss any issue, you simply dismiss what you don't agree with as un-American. How impressive your debate skills are. Aren't you impressed as h* with you? ha
Boar Hunter| 1.26.12 @ 6:35PM
As I said, did you hear that! I think it was a dog whistle!
Once again your back to the race thing. Vapid coward that you are, you call others names and then rail against them for name calling. I think most have seen you for the pathetic un-American coward you are. Your racist screed is just that.
Did I miss your justification of Obama's racism? How about the Black Panthers? How about Reverend Wright? You were conspicuously silent on those issues, gutless coward that you are.
Oh but let someone identify Nagen as the racist he is and even provide the quote and your response is to call him a racist? What a child.
Bob Grant| 1.26.12 @ 7:47PM
Derp,
Ray Nagin chocolate city comments were as racist as any out of the mouth of Hitler.
I've never heard of the rule you mentioned above. People of the Protected Class can call each other the most vile, racist names but Non-Protected Class people can't?
When was this rule implemented? Why didn't I get the memo?

Purp,
JmsA was not being racist. He is referring to Mayor Nagin's racist comments:

Purp| 1.26.12 @ 5:09PM
I know what he said, I heard him say it. That's not the point. He repeated with emphasis on Chocolate and you also know d* well why he did that.
Being a racist is bad enough, denying it when it's clear to see is just plain hypocritical. Do they have a school for right-wingers to learn how to be a hypocrite?
Bob Grant| 1.26.12 @ 7:50PM
Purp,
So when did you acquire your supreme mind reading skills?
I just love how members of the Protected Class just make up rules as they see fit.
That person is a racist because IIIIIIIIiiiiiii deemed it so!
Konnie| 1.26.12 @ 5:30PM
It 'sounds' racist? SOUNDS RACIST? To who, you? Who cares? It was explained to you why he is called the chocolate mayor, but you don't care about that, you just want to namecall. Grow up. Actually, I don't care who thinks I'm racist anymore. It's almost becoming a badge of honor with people like you throwing it out at the drop of a hat. Who cares anymore? Not me.
Boar Hunter| 1.26.12 @ 6:45PM
Tweet! did you hear that, I think it was a dog whistle.
Now we hear the truth from Purp, "I know what he said, I heard him say it. That's not the point."
It's never the point with you is it.
As I said hypocrite, unlike you, I condemn racism regardless of the source. You condone it. You think you are entitled to wield it like a club against anyone who does not agree with your anti-American views.
You sir a a coward who refuses to be held responsible for their actions and words in the same manner you protect and justify the behavior of other racist's.

Perp, Your POTUS was elected by a majority of dead people, either voters from the graveyard or brain dead socialist that have not learned from the examples of Lenin and Mao.
Forget the intellectual arguments over socialism. You have been conditioned by your handlers not to use cognition or volition since it may explode your worldview.
Purp| 1.26.12 @ 10:59AM
Remove your head from where the sun don't shine and stop the ad hominem attacks.
You don't agree we are all Americans, in this together? What is your worldview? Sieg Heil?
You really shouldn't take the name of an intellectual you know.
VonMisesJr| 1.26.12 @ 11:11AM
Perpy, did I hurt your little metrosexual feelings?
I have read Von Mises "Socialism" and "Theory and History" that explode Marxism and other forms of socialism. He fled from the fascist Nazi Germany. He wrote that Marx could not defend his theories and reverted to ad hominem attacks. I am sure you know since I am sure you read these, correct?
I also read "Human Action" that is the economic textbook for two semesters at Hillsdale. You read that one commrade?
JmsA| 1.26.12 @ 11:18AM
That's good, VonMisesJr.

The Biggest Socialist Flaw is this:
Karl Marx, the hero of the left, was nothing but a lazy, self-centered, glutton. He never worked a day in his life which gave him time to think about ways to justify his meager existence, thus the Communist Manifesto, when he should have been out WORKING and supporting his family. Marx lived off his friend Engle's very wealthy, capitalistc parents who owned factories in Germany.
Marx is a symbol of what liberalism/progressivism is all about - failure to launch oneself as a useful human being.
Purp| 1.26.12 @ 2:26PM

See, now I know you didn't read Von Mises "Socialism." Fascism is the "Third Way" and a form of socialism. It is a game of semantics to blame Wall Street (capitalism) for government planning catastrope. Neat trick!
Property rights imply rights of utilization and disposal of an asset as one chooses. Fascism, or the reverse side of the coin "Crony Capitalism," is socialism since one's supposed asset is contingent on "Big Brother," and its direction and approval.
Even if you don't know economics, but knew history, the propaganda you preach is due to the conflict for power between Hitler and the U.S.S.R. It did not infer that they were incompatible worldviews. But it is more illustrative of the duplicity of socialism that the fascist would betray the communist.
Falstaff: "But Hal, is there no honor among thieves?"
Purp| 1.26.12 @ 3:24PM
No, Fascism is on the right, Communism is on the left. Fascism believes the State is the be all and end all, and true Communism believes it is the people that is. Communism, Soviet style, is not Marxism. Along with Hitlerism, Sovietism is totalitarian. And, we defeated both systems.
Whether you're talking Ayn Rand's utopia or Marx's proletariat, they are both theoretical dead ends. It's really quite simple. Twist as you might, fascism and communism are at opposite ends of the political spectrum. Socialism is closer to communism in that regard.
Capitalism is an economic system, not a political one.

"You mean Adolph Hitler, the leader of the National SOCIALIST German Worker's Party?"
National Socialism was proletarian-oriented, not socialist.
Huey Long and Geo Wallace were demagogic proletarian sympathizers, but they were not socialist.
Alan Brooks | 1.26.12 @ 5:51PM

Sheesh. So if Twiggy had called herself a sumo wrestler, then she would have been one??

You think all the people both collective ideologies killed would care about such semantics? Whether one owns the “cows” or simply controls the “cows” they both redistribute wealth from individuals to the “state”.
Boar Hunter| 1.26.12 @ 2:31PM
The "Biggest Socialist Flaw" is the human condition.
Our founding fathers discovered this as they began and began failing in their initial colonization of America. Unfortunately, part of the people did not want to work for their fair share. Back then we called them lazy...now we call them democrats.
The approach to managing their society was changed over the vociferous objections of the lazy and most prospered. Although it has taken them a long time, the democrats have gradually eroded our society to the point where those who support them financially are about to rebel.
Once Obama destroy's the American dollar as the reserve currency rioting will begin because the only thing democrats know how to do is destroy.
Diogenes| 1.28.12 @ 4:10AM
Jesus Christ just wandered around, living on handouts. He is the ULTIMATE socialist, with the bread and fishes thing, the free universal healthcare, and he believed in paying taxes! "Render unto Caesar..." and all.
He didn't judge or criticize anyone's sexuality or skin color or religious preferences. He condemned no one and only shamed the guilty with his innocence.
What do you expect from a terrorist? (Don't forget the moneychangers in the Temple) That was what the Pharasees said he was. As a blasphemer...

Not being a socialist, your arrows miss their mark. Nor could you "hurt" any part of me or my being. But as a hyper-right winger, you display your wares quite often, don't you? Nice to know you can read. Now, if you could only read Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith, written at the same time as the Revolution, you might learn what the Founders thought about.

sollandrie| 1.26.12 @ 10:29AM
Earl, a question for you:
Why did your parents not abort you? Why did they fail to abort you and then raise you through infancy to being an adult who can go out on his own in life?
Why?
That's a serious question. A very serious question. Give it serious thought. Don't get angry. Give it serious thought.
All -- all of us -- should ask the very same question.
Earl in Flatbush| 1.26.12 @ 10:58AM
If my mother had terminated her pregnancy, I, a fetus, would have known nothing about it.
I would have had no cognizance, no memory, no personality, so I would not have been affected at all.
Since I would have been oblivious to my mother's abortion, it would not have mattered.
Not have mattered at all.
gigi| 1.26.12 @ 11:15AM
Good answer, Earl. A fetus does not even have the brain of a mouse.
Tony in Central PA| 1.26.12 @ 11:53AM
Not only that, according to this President, if baby manages to somehow survive an abortion, it can be thrown into the trash can.

Bob Grant| 1.26.12 @ 12:15PM
So you can look at a sonogram of an unborn child with all the features of a newly-born baby and coldly rationalize it is only a bunch of cells, nothing more, nothing less?
You have no idea whether that "fetus" feels or thinks.
The one thing for certain is what you are seeing in that sonogram is life, at minimum potential for life.

Certainly not!
Earl in Flatbush is a human being with family, friends, personality, memory, identity (he has a name and a social security card), etc. Since Earl is a fully-functioning human being he wants to live.
Ridiculous to compare Earl to a fetus. A fetus lacks awareness of anything outside the womb. Got it?
Bob Grant| 1.26.12 @ 1:00PM
No we don't get it!! Your argument is as empty and full of nothing as Earl's description of a fetus.
I wouldn't expect a "fetus" to be aware of anything other than it's environment as it's not a fully developed human being.
Your argument lacks logic, scientific evidence, nor any moral foundation; only rebellion disguised as "rights".

Luk 1:39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
Luk 1:40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
Luk 1:41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
Luk 1:42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
Luk 1:43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Luk 1:44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

My daughter was responding in the womb to my voice when she was three months along. At that time she had a family, friends, a personality, memory and identity (do you really believe a social security card is necessary to have an identity?).
By your definition, anyone who is not a "fully-functioning" human being is not worthy of protection. I hope for Steven Hawkings' sake he doesn't run into you. he's liable to find himself euthanized.

You worship Smith, Riccardo, von Mises. Hayek, Friedman- not Jesus Christ.

You tell it like it is, Alan.
And if the majority of posters on here knew you could tell the sexual orientation of a fetus, and a male or female fetus was deemed homosexual, the "Christians" on here would be unanimous in calling for its abortion.
The Fundamentalist "Christians" on here are merely right-wing zealots who like to trot out their "faith" when confonting a complex moral issue.
Incapable of discussing an ethical issue intelligently, they talk about "sin" and resort to emotionally-loaded language and name calling.

Hey Alan! Hi! How are you today? I am fine. Remember when you wrote "You'll be dead soon - an accident." I still haven't died yet like you threatened or predicted, you cough, cough, coward, cough, cough.
Do you still think Newt is cute! I know a guy who is really good with photo shop and can hook you up with a photo of Newt in the leprechaun suit you've been fantasizing about. What say?
How funny that I find you here trying to describe what Christian's believe from a homo's perspective, lol. That's funnier than your idea's on politics.

" 'You'll be dead soon - an accident'. I still haven't died yet like you threatened or predicted"
I took that back (look in the archives if you have time) because I thought Gingrich was finished; I wrote that I was so happy Newt was going down in the polls I forgive all of you-- but then the [anti] 'conservative' future-assed liar bounced back up!
I plan to vote for Obama, but hypothetically if a 3rd party runs a good candidate, and that candidate is the only way to defeat Newt, then I will vote for than candidate to defeat the Newt.
gigi| 1.26.12 @ 4:42PM
I, a Republican, will vote for Obama this time. My staunch Republican father would spin in his grave if he knew. And my relatives down here in Florida are appalled and barely speaking.
But after reading much about Obama, I think he is the hope of the country, and he will get my vote.
God bless our president and his lovely family. (original family intact)
Alan Brooks| 1.26.12 @ 5:36PM
I think their hate for Obama still has something to with miscegenation, though not as much as before. They don't dislike blacks anymore as people, but they don't much like blacks having sex with whites. In 2010, a guy at a laundromat said,
"Obama is a [n-word], and I'm from Nebraska; the worst people in Omaha are [n-word]s. If one of them bothers my wife-- down he goes."
I was the only other guy besides him at the laundromat, so he knew he could say it.
Go to http://www.stormfront.org, you'll see if you look the whole site over. I asked Stormfront if white nationalism is primarily about sex & reproduction, and they replied:
"of course! how do you think we will carry on our race!"
Now we know.

Seriously, can't you even bring yourself to a real apology when you obviously recognize your wrong? I must admit, I was surprised to see evidence of actual remorse and signs of maturity from you.

What you seem unable to ever admit, that both reason and experience indicate is because you are both too unintelligent and too dishonest to ever realize, is that you and your unintelligent and dishonest ilk devoid of reason and experience have created and established this inconsistency, because you and your unintelligent and dishonest ilk devoid of reason and experience do not hold as self-evident the truth and reality that all men are created equal, and that you and your unintelligent and dishonest ilk devoid of reason and experience do not hold as self-evident the truth and reality that all means each and every man without exception, and that if you and your unintelligent and dishonest ilk devoid of reason and experience were to hold as self-evident the truth and reality that all men are created equal, none of those who detest the unintelligence and dishonesty of you and your ilk would have any intelligent and honest basis to believe in aborting the life of any of each and every one of your ilk among all men created equally, because intelligence and honesty would force all men created equally to hold as self-evident there are no exceptions, and that therefore there would be no reason and there would be no experience on which to hold that the aborting of the life of any man from among you and your ilk of unintelligent and dishonest tyrannical oppressors of liberty, of the United States of America, of the Constitution, of the Declaration of Independence, of the Bible, of The Creator, not to mention of intelligence and of honesty, for the purpose of preventing you and your unintelligent and dishonest ilk from oppressing the life and the liberty of any of all men.

To clarify:
In your response to my comment explaining why you and your ilk are stupid liars, you imply my comment explaining exactly why you and your ilk are stupid liars was hindered by a lack of information and knowledge that is out of date, that is communicated in an excessively emotional manner reminiscent of communist regimes, and that is either done deceptively and inanely or effectively and persuasively.
I couldn't help but notice that your response did not address why you and your ilk are stupid liars with any reason and experience, but consisted instead of dishonest stupidity, such as the pompous use of quotation marks around the word life, in a manner typically communicated deceptively and inanely by tyrannical emotionally prattling stupid lying idiots, emotionally prattling stupid lying idiots who have provided substantial documentation in the archives of AmSpec with their emotionally prattling stupid lying idiocy, typical of not only the stupid liar you are but the stupid liars of your ilk as well.

Let's not ever forget that this is the same Obama who, as a state senator, voted to forbid doctors to give aid to infants born alive as the result of a botched abortion. If he's OK with that, what isn't he OK with?
Timothy L. Pennell| 1.26.12 @ 8:40AM
He knows what the 1st Amendment says. "He's a Constitutional Professor". LIE!
He knows what the 2nd Amendment says. He knows what the 4th, the 5th, the 9th, and the 10th Amendments say. They all say what he CAN NOT DO. He knows that "The Constitution is a Document of Negative Rights". That's not a good thing, when you're a Dictator.
"Fortunately for us, the Constitution provides for a Firewall against the foreseen ravaging of a Free People by a Tyrant like our Current Commander In Chief, and his accomplices in the Congress."
Really?
I haven't seen any "Firewall". Have you? "The Supreme Court struck down" blah, blah, blah, blah, blah..........................
I believe that it was Andrew Jackson who said, upon receiving a "Slap-Down" from the Court, and I'm paraphrasing: "They have made their Decree. Now, let's see them ENFORCE it".
How many people know that Barack Hussein Obama was found "In Contempt of Court" by a Federal Judge?
Anybody? Anyone? Surely "aware" is aware of this. No?
He was DENIED his Drilling Moratorium, TWICE, by a Federal Judge. He did it anyway. He had his Attorney General THROW OUT the Convictions of the 3 Black Panthers. The Press told you that the Case was dismissed. No. The CONVICTIONS were Dismissed.
How many people know that Cowboy Ken Salazar, and that little fat, lying Troll - Kagan - were found to have FORGED DOCUMENTS, in attempting to get their Drilling Moratorium approved? That's a Criminal Offense, for You and Me.
In the Case of the Chrysler Bailout? Legal, Binding, CONTRACTS, held by the Bond Holders, were torn up in their faces, and thrown in the Trash. Banks, and other Lending Institutions, were FORCED to take Tarp Monies.
I don't see no Steenkin Firewall.
Do you?
He uses Extra-Constitutional CZARS, to work his way around Congress. He uses his EPA to implement a Cap and Trade Policy, that was denied him, by the Legislative Branch. He uses his NLRB to implement a Card Check Policy, that was denied him, by the Legislature. He uses his Crown and his Scepter to put his Operatives - who were denied him by the Legislature - in place.
HE has decided when the Senate is in Recess. HE has taken to deciding what is Constitutional, and what is not. HE has decided that HE will Rule by Decree, from now on.
Who's gonna STOP him? Boehner? Cantor? Paul Ryan? They're afraid of their own shadows.
Lugar? Hatch? McCain? The Idiot Twins from Maine? They believe that the President deserves to get what he wants. Even if it's THEIR HEADS.
I can go on. He's for Gay Marriage, and Gays in the Military. He's for Abortion, even if the Baby is Born ALIVE. Everything he does, is an affront to our Religions, our Core Values, and our Founding Principles. Everything he says, is an affront to the Truth. Everything he BELIEVES, is an affront to GOD and Country.
He's not one of us. In fact, it's getting more difficult, by the day, to find ANYONE in the Democrat Party, who IS, these days. Certainly, no-one in their Leadership shares any of our Values. From Life, to Liberty, to Freedom from an overbearing Central Government, to Individual Rights and Personal Responsibility.
People have to come to grips over what we're dealing with. He is an Enemy of Life. He is an Enemy of Liberty. He is an Enemy of Private Property, Private Enterprise, The U.S. Military, and our CONSTITUTION.
He is NOT a Christian. He does not have our Best Interests in his mind. He is a Narcissist and an Ideologue, with a Muslim/Communist/Marxist Upbringing, and a God Complex.
The last I looked, that was a Dangerous Mixture, that never turned out that well, for the rest of the people.
I'm just saying.

Actually, purp, Obama may well win. 2012 or 2016 may be the last time America will be able to elect a conservative President. After then, demographics and voter identification patterns will likely guarantee a Democrat in the White House until our federal government will not be able to afford the interest on the debt, which shouldn't be a long time.
A society that kills its children will prove itself to be a dangerous and violent mess without the federal government it has become so dependent upon.

It was FDR, Truman, JFK, LBJ with an interlude of Ike for spice. We've been going downhill ever since.

OBAMA Boycotting Georgia Eligibility Hearing
Barack Obama has announced through his attorney that he will boycott the administrative hearings scheduled today in Georgia to review evidence of whether he legitimately is a candidate for the presidency, prompting an attorney for one set of the plaintiffs to describe the nation’s commander-in-chief as acting like a “5-year-old brat.”
Is this "Contempt of Court" ?
Purp| 1.26.12 @ 11:02AM
Boycott? Georgia can do what they want, they have no power to do anything to the Federal Govt, Congress, Supreme Court or the President. You'd think they would've learned that in the 1860's.
Boar Hunter| 1.26.12 @ 3:05PM
Georgia is only one of 19 states seeking to mandate that an individual seeking the office of president must prove his eligibility. All of this legislation was undertaken after Obama became president. Gosh I wonder why that is? I'm certain it has nothing to due with the question of Obama's eligibility. After all, everyone acknowledges that he provided a birth certificate didn't he?
I am equally certain you are correct in believing that having 19 states refuse to recognize Obama's eligibility for office would have no no impact on the next election.
That's your cue to scream racism..again.
Purp| 1.26.12 @ 5:20PM
Won't matter - it must be a Constitutional Amendment to make that stick. And, you d* well know why, don't you?
Gotta put that uppity you know what in his place, right, Massa?
Let me guess, 12 of the 19 are from the ol' South?
And, let me ask - if Obama wasn't black, would you even care who won against Newt you hate and Romney you despise?
It's so clear that some % of the country will never vote for Obama for one reason only. I see it, and I'm not even black. It's worse than racism ... you need help.

Red or Yellow, Black or White you are racist in my sight. That was a poem I just wrote. Did you like it?
So, now you claim you are not Black. OK...
I call BS and say it either proves you to be a liar or a coward. Either way it proves you are a racist.
For a white man to have written what you have in this venue is no better than dressing up in black face and singing mammy. By your own standards, you have no right to take ownership of the plantation speak you frequently use to disrespect others on this forum. That's no different than me trying to use the "N" word with blacks to prove I'm down for the cause.
Do you not recall accusing someone of racism because they reminded everyone here of Nagin's chocolate comments? Only someone with your "learned" level of hyper-sensitivity to racism (Dog Whistle) would claim "that's not the point" regarding the black racists comments and then proceed to accuse the individual who pointed out their behavior of racism. If your white, what entitles you to that claim?
Your comparison sounds to me an awful lot like the same justification you "African American's" use to justify your own public use of the "N" word.
I think you are a liar and a coward, for not admitting, sorry disavowing, your own race. I would guess someone here has recall of some earlier comments by you that would reveal the truth of your cowardly lies.

No, not really. There is a large body of thought, that the President cannot be summoned to just any court for any reason. President Obama and the officials in Hawaii have made public his long form birth certificate; is was born in Hawaii to a mother who is also an American citizen; that makes him an American citizen. All of this court crap is just an effort to distract the President from his duties. These people have been shown to have nothing to do, but try and discredit a duly elected official. It is they who should be held in comtempt - of common sense. God himself could come down and proclaim President Obama as an American citizen and this yahoos would believe him.
Tim the Enchanter| 1.26.12 @ 4:58PM
Let me explain this in simple terms so that you'll understand. OK? Now:
The court in Georgia is NOT disputing the "Birth Certificate".
What they are disputing is his claim to be a "Natural Born Citizen". There is a court case out there that defines a "Natural Born Citizen" as one who was born in the United States of TWO people who were already citizens of the United States.
Obama does not meet that definition, and the "Birth Certificate" proves it. His mother may have been a citizen of the United States, but his father definitely was NOT. Therefore, Obama, by the definition in that court case, is NOT a "Natural Born Citizen."
I can repeat this, if it would make it easier for you to understand.

If when life begins is above his pay grade why didn't Mr.Obama just vote present on this issue?

Life News has a good repost to Pro-Choice Ron Paul's hypocrisy concerning the Constitution. Little wonder why NO major Pro-Life or faith ministry endorses him:
"I believe that all life is precious. I know life begins at conception. I know that every person, every child conceived in the womb, has a right to life. I know that life is a right endowed by our Creator, that it is inalienable, laid down in the Declaration of Independence, and should be guaranteed under the Constitution. The right to life is the first right. Without its protection, no other rights matter.
This anniversary is both a day of sadness for the more than 40 million babies who have been killed since Roe v. Wade and a day of hope as more and
more Americans embrace a culture of life and as more and more young people march in Washington and around the country in support of life.
The 14th Amendment states explicitly: “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
The Constitution is clear. The meaning is inconvenient.
Ron Paul embraces the 10th Amendment but ignores the 14th Amendment when he refuses to support federal protections for the unborn. The Constitution protects not only property rights but people, too. What is liberty without the right to life? The federal courts and the federal government are the last resort for protecting this foundational right."

First of all, my familys so conservative the last DemoKKKrat anyone voted for was George Wallace.
And Nixon's the first President I remember, I even had a "Tricky Dick" watch, didn't realize it was supposed to be a goof, too bad I traded it for a case of Billy Carter Beer, which is worthless today, cause I drank it in 1981(tasted like piss)
That bein said, I'm sure old Milhouse is looking down from Heaven and smiling.
Cause "Row" was his most significant legacy, and 3 of the 4 Surpreme Court Judges Nixon nominated voted FOR Genocide, I mean a Woman's right to chose Genocide.
And Nixon wasn't stupid, except maybe for recording himself making incriminating statements, I mean even Bill Clinton didn't make a video of Monica blowing him.
Nixon WANTED for abortion to become safe, legal, and predominantly practiced by minorities.
Its just givin Evil-lution a little helping hand, cause ya gotta be pretty tough just to make it past the labia.
You know where they REALLY like abortion, really oppressive horrible places like Red China, Russia, California.
You know where they DON'T like abortion?
Domincan Repubic, Iran, Chad, theres "Quality in Quantity" which is why there's so many Major League Shortstops from Iran, I mean the Dominican.
And sometimes I'll drop by the local Baby-Killing-Mill, I mean "Women's Health Center" and just pay for some poor woman's baby killing, I mean, pregnancy termination fee, sort of like that "Secret Santa" thang.
So if your some kind of Ho-Mo, who's not happy with 50 million less minorities, I mean fetuses since 1973, build yourself a time machine, go back to 1912, and abort Richard Nixon.

Dr. X| 1.26.12 @ 6:51AM
The most ironic aspect of Obama's enthusiastic support for abortion is that, had it been legal in 1960, he almost certainly would have been aborted.
Obama's mother, the radical atheist hippie freak "Stanley," was impregnated out of wedlock in 1960 at age 18 by a black African Negro -- before King's "Dream" speech, before Selma, before the Sexual Revolution, and while miscegenation was still legal in many states. (The father, of course, ditched both the mother and the baby as soon as he could, in an era in which divorce was still regarded disapprovingly).
The shocking outrageousness of this act in 1960 is very difficult to comprehend in today's racially engineered, politically-correct society. But it's almost certain that "Stanley" would have aborted Barack under those circumstances if she had been able to do so.
As far as women being able to have an abortion so they can pursue whatever field of endeavor they desire, we out to recall that Barack's mother, unable to effectively raise him, sent him away to live as an outcast with his white grandparents while she followed her own whims. Her life's "work" was to write a 1,000 page PhD dissertation on "Peasant Blacksmithing in Indonesia" -- in the space age. Yeah, there's a really great way to waste your life, isn't it?

Please let me add this thought:
I don't want to offer one scintilla of excuse for Pres. Obama and his abysmal attitude, leadership, and horrid presidency. Not one shred of excuse for this.
But where are the massive, marquee name PhD psychologists of the nation having a field day with the angers and angst and demented thinking of a grown Barrack Hussein (try going through any American school with that name) Obama growing up knowing that BOTH his parents rejected him -- unequivocally rejected him.
I would think that this "life and times in focus" coast-to-coast TV hour special on Obama would hit the airwaves every six months or so. Middle aged, graying dons of the Medical Mental Profession sitting around and endlessly opining on how 'adrift' a young man and middle aged man would be with the 'baggage' of his ugly and (the key point) unloved upbringing.
(Maybe we should never again elect such a person with this "baggage" and massive CHIPS on his shoulder?)
Well posted to you, Dr. X and to Ms. Fabrizio.
Obama is lucky to have had the chance by God to live. Sadly, he does not know of this blessing, nor does he know of God.
Does he ever think of the number of boys who never got a chance to play in the surf, run, jump, ride a bike or take in a pet?
Another, what, 1,150 such boys will be aborted just this week.
Every one of them could perhaps be named Barrack Hussein Obama.

A question on your astute analysis, sir, if I may:
Before commemorative plaques of 'The Protector of Abortion was conceived here' begin to appear seemingly everywhere, reminiscent of 'Washington slept here' during the bicentennial era, I wonder if you might expound on The Anointed One's biological gene pool a tad.
It is my understanding Barack Hussein Obama Sr. lived with various sundry others of radical persuasion, such as Frank Marshall Davis, in collegiate dorm-like custom. It is also my understanding availability of personal information on The Anointed One has been anything but transparent.
With the permissive atmosphere you have described, and the likelihood that Stanley Ann Dunham was considered primarily a community semen receptacle, what is the probability of the accuracy of his paternal heredity as indicated by The Anointed One's professed surname and published autobiographical material?

And in every city. (means 'easy access')
And let's talk facts: You need abortions to be cheap when needing to rely on aborting a child, say, 4, 5 or 6 times in your life.

Mr. Grant, just a question for you and all other readers here.
Listening to the (current) president's State of the Union address this week ---
Have you ever heard a State of the Union delivered so devoid of faith and values? No mention of anything of what is the bedrock of our society. Zip. Until the end when he gave the perfunctory "May God Bless America." (Politicians do this when they haven't a clue how else to end the oratory.)
Clinton's State of the Union addresses also tended to be exculsively secular.
He is not just an unbeliever, in my opinion, our current POTUS is an outright and avowed antagnoist of all things scriptural and Judeo-Christian.
Your take?
(for example: Not one of that odd cast of balcony people to be praised for various things -- not one of them had anything remotely to do with a faith-based charity, philanthropic work, no mentions of these things -- unless I am mistaken)
Bob Grant| 1.26.12 @ 10:43AM
I believe his bitter clinger comment, which was never intended to leave that room, was a rare glimpse into the soul of this man.
It's clear to me he looks down on all people of faith because in his mind it is not an intellectual pursuit and not worthy of his time.
Because he's evolved into a third-rate political hack, he uses religion as a tool to suit his needs but is not sharp enough to understand the unintended consequences which, hopefully, will be to unify the faith-based independent voters against him in November.

Jean Jocques Rousseau wrote the "Social Contract" in 1762 that declared that if one does not BEND to the "General Will," then they will need to be forced to be free. It got him thrown out of Geneva (residence) and France (homeland).
So we are to believe that a Marxist, One World Government collectivist does not want to interfere with our "private family" rights?
Nonsense. Collectivism is the total control of your "private and family" rights.
Of course, socialist bastardize words and meanings to form illogical arguments cautioned by Pascal's "Port Royal Logic." Rules One and Two are that a word must have a clear definition, and the same definition must be employed throughout the syllogism, deductive or inductive process. Socialist use the term "rights" to mean avoidance of hunger, temperature, government housing, medical and acting like a moron; while conservatives understand the true meaning of the word in classical terms as liberty, freedom of movement/conscience/speech and free markets.

Da Monk, your wife, your girlfriend, your daugher, or your aunt can have the child and already have in place very solid agreements with MANY, MANY waiting couples who will take that child and give that baby a loving home.
The moment you have sexual intercourse with your wife you are potentially starting something eternal. You know that this is true, right?
Nobody is telling you, you MUST raise that child. Yes, it would be better, in most cases, if you did. But there are countless couples waiting to give that baby a loving home.
Some couples are waiting for years already. They WANT to be parents. And they are delighted to take a child that otherwise would be murdered.

Gary| 1.26.12 @ 11:49AM
You are begging the question. You assert that your wife's body is her own business, but the real question is whether the fetus or embryo in her body is a human life and has a soul. I guess you are dead certain it does not, hence your wife has the right to kill it. It must be nice to be that certain that no soul is present. I don't possess your infalibility on such matters so I would err on the side of caution and not kill the fetus. Of course if you have no problem with killing a child then while that is horrid, it is honest. I'm sure you don't advocate this, it's just that you in your infinite wisdom know for a fact there is no soul, or at least a fetus doesn't have one until it's born. A recent book revealed the fact that in some foreign countries it seems female babies are not too popular so couples abort when they discover the little one will be a girl. The result is that fewer girls are being born which will create demographic and social problems, but hey, what a few million abortions because of gender among friends? It's all probably for the good as the "quality of life" for these potential females would be poor, having to bear boy children, and abort girls. That is truly a noble use of the sacred right you and your wife cherish so much, the right to destroy an embryo or fetus, or perhaps, just maybe a baby?
da monk| 1.26.12 @ 8:31PM
Gary: What do you mean by "a Soul". How do you know there is such a thing as a "Soul"? Just when is a "Soul" form and what does it consist of? Why do I have to take your or anyone elses interpertation when a fetus is a human? There are many opinions when a fetus is human stretching from conception to birth. Which one do you demmand I choose? And why should I take YOUR suggestion? No, it's my wife's, daughter's etc. choice not yours.

Funny moniker for a person that advocates abortion, but I digress. While I myself do not condone the practice of murdering an innocent, I would not stand in the way of your wife, your daughter (presumably not the same person) from getting an abortion. What I am vehemently opposed to is the use of tax dollars to fund the aforementioned murder. Since you espouse that no one can tell you what your wife, your daughter can do with their bodies, do not presume to tell me, and others like me, what to do with our tax dollars. She/they had it, let them murder it, but don't make me and others accessories to that act.

Haloman: My first question is, are you really an angel? If so, do they only play harps in heaven? Also do those wings work, can you fly...ah but I digress. My name is da monk because I think it's a clever alias, just like HaloMan. Suprisingly I can see your point in not your tax dollars going to pay for someone elses abortion. But that does not mean if someone, some family decides to abort an unwanted pregnancy and pay for it themselves they should be able to do so. Regarding whether my wife and daughter are the same person. Where do you get such a thought, unless psychologically you covet your daughter. See I can me a wise ass too. Let's keep our discussion on a non name calling adult level.
HALOMan| 1.27.12 @ 11:32AM
da monk,
To answer your first question; No. I am not an angel, I don't know if they only play harps in heaven, I have several sets of wings, and in fact I do fly while in freefall (HALO: High Altitude-Low Opening parachuting). And my moniker is HALOMan, not HaloMan.
As to my comment about whether your wife, your daughter is the same person ("to tell my wife, my daughter,"), that was a reference to your grammar (no, not your parents mother). Your reference to my "psychologically" coveting my daughter shows more about how your thought processes work.
Also, notice that in my first reply, as well as this reply, I do not resort to name-calling.
So, as an aside to our original conversation, I have to inform you that you, and you alone, are the (not so) wise ass. I guess I did resort to name calling after all. My sincerest apologies.

Yeah, abortion is a sacred "right" for women, but we'll make you buy health insurance, use the light bulbs and toilets you use, tell auto makers what to make, dictate what energy use is allowed, force Catholic institutions to pay insurance for contraceptives, but we respect the sanctity of the family. Sure you do. Millions of lives are destroyed by abortion and this is no big thing? I guess euthanasia will be next to ease the burden on medicare.

I have no intention of converting you to my way of looking at abortion. What's your personal opinion and your religious conviction is your conviction and you have every right to follow those convictions. Just don't force me to follow.

The liberal mantra on abortion:

Obama doesn't realize abortion disconnects sexual relations and family ties. Out-of-wedlock births were rare before Roe, less than 1 percent. Now they are 42% in America.
Obama sees America as his childhood as an unwanted step child. Increasingly children are becoming just that.

Rick Santorum nailed it when he said That they would never execute a rapist, but the resultant child of a rape gets executed!

We did away executions for everything short of Capital murder along time ago, So I guess you want to string up Car Thieves, the modern day version of Horse Rustlers?

It really doesn't matter if it's a thinking thing or not. A Botfly infestation is definitely thinking and alive but i don't want them under my skin.If you give a fetus rights, you are automatically taking them from the woman.I would think every person has a right to do with their personally body what they want, I would think that is the CONSERVATIVE position? So you outlaw abortion, the women say's OK what combination of chemicals can I take to kill this thing. What do you do than, charge her with murder? Is she not allowed to shove a wire into her own uterus?

As a pr0-life Democrat I agree in part with your characterizations of the short-falls of the Obama administration on abortion issues and now in my view the misguided contraception issue.
Where I differ profoundly with the GOP on the abortion issue is its resolute failure to adequately address the abortion issue. Vaginal probes and sonograms - may or may not have a place - the fact remains many women opt for abortion because of the abject failure of their boyfriends or spouses to support them. The problem is aggravated by the cultural malaise in sexual morality boosted by laissez-faire capitalist solutions like advertising, music and film industries which promote no limits on misrepresenting human relationships and sexuality. And the GOP solution for everything more: laissez-faire capitalism for everything including housing, healthcare, etc. which are pro-life issues as well hardly make the Republican Party the champion of pro-life concerns while leaving pregnant women few if any resources to help them deal with pregnancies.
The issue of "artificial birth control" is a little more complicated than "insulting the Catholic Church" (I am Catholic). As many Catholics know a large, large percentage of Catholic women do in fact use birth control pills. And the problem of non-Catholics working in Catholic institutions begs the question of how to respect them.
While I agree with you that the HHS decision is not a good one there could have been more flexibility in the policy. The policy could have respected the freedom of religious institutions to deny funding for practices it holds as reprehensible while offering women (and men!) insurance waivers to purchase riders to whatever the insurance industry calls them to pay for birth control.

Tom, that is an EXCELLENT idea!, If a particular institution has moral objections to providing certain required care in a health plan, just give the person a check for the fair market value of the procedure/drug. Problem solved

Hey Kook, have you figured out, yet, that a fetus (Latin for unborn baby) doesn't become a child at implantation, or when he's viable, but, when he is conceived?

We should not wonder in bewilderment at Mullah Obama's policies. After all, he is a marxist Muslim from Kenya, bent on communizing America so that we can repeat the successes of the Soviet Union, its East European satelites, Cuba, North Korea, East Germany, etc. in the pursuit of individual freedom, prosperity, and...

I have to say that this is the one and only thing this narcisist has said that i agree with. Christians believe it is wrong to abort as part of their moral and religious beliefs. That is thier right under the constitution of our great nation. A most important building block of it. Christians do not have the right to push thier beliefs onto others. Abortion is part of the others beliefs and their right to practice without any interference from anyone as protected by the constitution. Christians don't have to believe that way so don't live that way and leave others private business alone.
Nick| 1.27.12 @ 7:33PM
Brent,
You couldn't be more wrong.
The question of abortion has nothing to do with religious beliefs. It is a scientific question. It's not theological, it's biological.
Human biological life begins at the moment of conception. This is scientific fact. It is not a matter of belief or opinion.
And no one has the right to end the life of an innocent human being, for any reason. This is why abortion is murder and can never be justified.
