Kermit Gosnell

I am sorry for my lack of posts for the last few weeks. I have been avoiding talking about this here. I have started and tried to do a post on this subject, but have stopped each time. I am talking about the not yet, but soon to be convicted baby killer Kermit Gosnell and the topic of abortion. There are not many things that I actually have a physical reaction to when I read or see or hear about, but the photo of a baby with its neck cut open and its spinal cord cut did just that. I get/got a shiver and I felt a little sick. Descriptions of a baby squirming around on a table, making "unimaginable" sounds and only quieted when their spinal cords are cut. I'm freaking ill just recounting it.

I know this will piss off and divide some of us, and it should. Knowing this happens should piss us all off. This is a topic that needs to be talked about. We, as a society need to deside when a life is a life and when that life needs to be protected. A live birth from a doctor to loving parents is not the right choice and is not what defines life. If something is sqirming and making noise on a table, it is a life. I am sure you can back it up a few weeks or even months from there. That takes us to have to make an arbitrary disision that some time between conception and birth or viability outside the womb, you have a life. And in this country, and in most of the world, life is sacred. We morn the loss of it and celebrate the beginging of it.

Abortion

My personal position. That is a hard one. The life lover and protector wants all abortions to stop immideately. We need to stand up and protect those who can not stand up and pretect themselves. There is none more vunreble then our children or soon to be born children. The "cold hearted" libertarian in me says let people, its silly we say "people", because it is only women, let women do what they want. And then we always throw in the phrase "their body." I get a little pissed when the words, "their body" are used. They are carring a life, it is not part of their body. Their body would go on living just fine if that other life is taken out of their body. So much of the terminolgy of pregnecy shows that we belive there is a life and has worth in and value and rights. "We are expecting." We are not expecind a lamb or a lawn mower, we are expecting a baby human "She is with child." I mean come on. If you kill a pregnant woman, you can be charged with two murders. The other cold hearted part of me knows that many of those children who are never born, killed, would be born in to less than ideal situations, otherwise known as single parent house holds. They would grow up in poverty and want and need, and see things that most likely will not form a caring and or contributing member of society. Many will end up in prision or dead or conceaving unwanted children themselves. I know I am generalizing, but this is not fiction. I think there was a former Soviet state that outlawed abortion, and 16-18 years later they had a crime eppidemic. Maybe that is true, maybe not. Aborting these unwanted children does help some girls and or couples redirect the direction their life is going in. It keeps unknown amounts of people off of future welfare roles and our of future prison cells. It keeps future murdered and rapists and drug dealers and thieves, off the future streets. That is the best case negative scenario. But what about regret? Even the Roe in the Roe vs Wade case now regrets that disision. How many other girls or women live with that regret? How many girls or women live life hating and dispising their children because they didn't abort them? I would say almost none, like 99.99% mothers love their children. I doubt the number is that high for women who have aborted.

You know what. I am not going to include any links. I was going to, but now I am not. If you want to look this up yourself, there is a shit load of info out there for you. If you are so hard core pro abortion that you don't want to see photos or read testimony, then just keep your head in the sand. Keep on thinking of yourself as pro-choice, but what you really are is pro-abortion. And if you want that fine. Just know the truth. Or many you should seek out those images and testimony, to test your resolve. See how you feel when you see those necks cut open. Or read about babys birthed into toilets, then killed. Most of the media, aka MSM did just that. Ignored this whole story. Lets talk about that. FoxNews and some other conservative news outlets were the only people covering this case for a while, but the persistant drum beat reluctantly brought the MSM to have to follow it. Why do they not report on this, because it is devistating to the pro abortion cause

Notice I didn't even mention Obama. As this was going on he actually addressed Planned Parenthood. He is down with them and what they do. Planned Parenthood supporters are Obama supporters. They give him money and votes he give them money and protection. Obama is Planned Parenthood. Gosnell is Planned Parenthood.

Similar but separate topic. The morning after pill was OKed by the FDA this past week. Girls 15 and older can get it with out prescription or parental notification or permission. Bullshit. Not just bullshit because I am a father, to a girl who will some day be a 15 year old girl, but bullshit because now you run into essentially covering up cases of statutory rape and legislating parents out of parenting. That is just the tip of the iceberg. So, 15 year olds are treated like "adults" for the morning after pill, but 26 year old "kids" still covered under mommy and daddy's insurance. Its effing liberal heaven.

So, in closing. This disgusts me. I am personally torn on the "right" to an abortion. Kinda funny. Abortion is not mentioned anywhere in the Constitution or bill of rights, but one court case and we can't touch it or even think about regulation or reversal. Guns, mentioned in the very beginning of the bill of right, explicitly, and lets try to regulate those out of our citizens hands. Well, guns kill way less kids a year then abortions do in a single day. I hate the term but, just sayin.

So, in closing, again. I won't. Obama says abortion should be safe, legal and rare. In 2008, 1.2 million abortions were performed in the US. That is not rare. That is 1.2 million dead babys. Obama uses "if we could save just one child," as his battle cry for gun control. Mr. President, I know a way you can save over 1 million children a year, and it has nothing to do with guns.

Warning/Caution/Notice: For those who can not recognize satire, or for those who are blinded by allegiance to the Left. This is satire. Again, this is satire. Kind of. Not really.

Dear Barry Soetoro,

 

Not the strapping young muslim socialist you used to be. That's a tough thing to realize, when you see that truth staring back at you in the mirror (good thing they don't have those types or mirrors in Cuba).

You're funny (teleprompter funny) and cool (Hollywood/celebrity groupie cool). But deep down, you feel pain and sadness, and we feel your pain Barry, and your sadness (we are in pain and we are sad too, and you still have three years left in office!). Radical Socialism and Jihad, you know, organizing communities (or Muslim Brotherhoods), you know, fighting the man, smoking pot or even snorting a little blow now and then, you know, sticking it to the man! All that, that game, that's a young man’s game. Time to let the next generation carry the torch (at least the ones who are not in jail for that same pot and blow). I know its hard, when you realize you are yesterday, and not tomorrow, but it's harder the longer you wait. Hippies got jobs and suits and BMWs. The Commies in Red China opened their eyes to capitalism. The Wall came down (and one of their own bad ass spies has installed himself at the top and they are just as powerful and as dangerous as they ever were). I digress.

I think the one thing that you still haven’t accepted, the one truth you just can't acknowlege, is that you can’t fight the man, when you are the man. You are the man.

Just like so many users of Just for Men, you have to know when to end the Jihad, whether it is against grey hair or a vast right wing conspiracy or the Constitution. Let nature run its course and return to a natural state, or in our case, let liberty and freedom reign again. 

Salaam.

P.S. Pass on the bangs. They might interfere with your golf game, or worse, if your working a short hand pipe with a new lighter, you know what I'm talkin about.

Thanks CW/Gun Vote After Action

I would like to take today's post as an opportunity to thank my friend Bryan over at The Conservative Wahoo.

First, he as put a link to my blog on his blog. I have been reading the CW for a few years now and have really enjoyed. It has helped expand my knowlege and understanding of many subjects. Thank you.  His blog also has a much larger audience than mine does. That means that many more people beyond my tiny, but highly educated and diverse as well as loyal, bubble could be reading these very worlds very soon. I will be doing the same for his and some other blogs I frequent, I just have some more blog design learning to do.

The second thank you to the CW is for today's post. It is a well done after action on how and why the vote went down like it did on the Senate gun bill this week.

The Gun Rights Consensus: The real reasons the Senate trounced the Obama agenda.

Enjoy.

Liberal logic: When the system works, it's broken.

It is starting to really blow my mind (actually I am not surprised at all) that when our government is actually working as it is designed to, the Dems and the Left call it shameful and broken and are disappointed. Yesterday the Senate voted on a bill with amendments to expand and add restrictions on guns and the second amendment, and voted them all down. Let that sink in. The Senate, with a majority of Democrats, brought up a bill written by Democrats, and it was defeated with votes. Amazing. Those 50+ who are on the right side of this issue voted “no” for their constituents, the constitution or both. Those 40+ who voted yes, did so not to “save even one child” as so many of them said, but as a continuation of the Liberal/Progressive/Democratic war against private gun ownership and the constitutional right to do so. They are however in favor of the arming and over arming of every and any government agency. Another problem and another discussion for another day. So, many on the left, for weeks, have been calling for a vote. Give the bill a vote! Let the children have a vote! For the children! They were scared of a filibuster. The filibuster was averted. And, well, they got their vote. And, they lost. Now they are sad. Some are even mad. They really didn’t want a vote, they wanted an outcome. They are sad and mad because the vote didn’t turn out how they wanted it to. I know how they feel. Barack Obama is a two term president. Moving on.

Back to the vote. There were lots of numbers thrown around by the Left yesterday and over the past few months. There was "the 90% of Americans want this bill." Take the actual number of Americans who wanted that bill passed, then multiply by 2 or 3 and you might get 90%. That being said, so the eff what! What if 90% of Americans want a law against Islam or a law against or for MSNBC or a law against black girls getting abortions. Too bad! The rights of each of those people or groups are and will always be greater than a real or imagined desire of 90%, or what the mob wants. The individual right is what is protected in the bill of rights. Disclaimer: I am not a constitutional lawyer, but I voted against one in the past two elections. Here is a scenario, and I will say up front, I don’t know the details or procedures that would be needed to do this. Let’s say there was a big enough push for a constitutional amendment to repeal the second amendment. Is that even possible? Can you repeal one of the rights in the bill of rights? I don’t think so, I hope not. I see those as the ones we start off with and get to keep no matter what mob is in charge. We can make more, but we can’t change the ones we started with. They are protected. I really thought something like that should have happened during the health care debate. Many were spouting off that health care was a right. If so, why not then make it an actual right. Amend the constitution to make health care a right. Then the funding of it would not be an issue. Then it would have had to pass all the hurdles of a House, Senate and state vote. They didn’t do that. They rammed it up our (you know what/where)!

So the right to keep and bear arms is just that a right. It is one of the, if the most regulated and limited right, but it still is a right. I hope, but don’t expect, future generations will regain some ground lost and repeal gun laws not compound gun laws.

As always, Reason.com does an excellent job talking about this today.

And this one too. It’s never too early for a lame duck, especially one with dangerous and radical ambitions like Obama. I think even the ACLU agrees. Best line, “Gloating in victory, adolescent in defeat – the Prez doesn’t make it easy to work with him.” NSS

P.S. Readers do you like me to embed my links and put the word “here” and here or make them like I did above, the actual link? I think I use both depending on if I want a link to be part of what I am writing or if I want my link to stand out on its own.

Different This Time.

Red Pill or Blue Pill, make a choice and read on...

We have learned from history. We have seen the small, but understandable errors of those who have come before us. We will benefit from the hard work, the blood, sweat and tears and even lives given from those before us. We will thank them.We will evolve. We have evolved. Our guides will be the forward thinkers such as Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Kim I and II, Castro, Che, Chavez, FDR, Obama, Warren and even some lessons from Hitler. It is ignorant and narrow minded to only remember Hitler for bad and evil. His early goals and ideals were very progressive and have great promise in the future we are creating. His evil we will ignore. We will forget. Just as we will forget the few and small indiscretions and errors made by our guides. We will be and are closer to perfection then they were, but only because they were willing to risk then, so that we may now learn now. Dwelling on their non-successes will not advance or assist us in reaching our goals. We will be weary of the writings of treasonous 18th century Brits also referred to as early American Patriots and Founding Fathers and other freedom fighters. Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, Jay, Paine, King and Paul to name a few. They should and will be looked upon with critical suspicion, even contempt. Their ill advice and ideas and outdated and mean spirited ideals have got us to were we are today, in a mess. The land of excess and envy and hunger and sickness and theft and murder. That is where capitalism and valuing the individual leads you to. It is amazing and astonishing it took this long for the errors of their thinking to shine as bright as it is now. But we will learn from them. We have learned from them. The people will understand this is what is best for them. Best for all of us. To be taken care of. Everyone will have what they need. To be free from want or envy. They will give and contribute and they will receive. From each according to his ability and to each according to their need. Everyone should have what they need, and the government is fair and just enough to know what people need and how to sort and spread things out fairly. The people will understand. It might take a little while. All good things take time. They might need some retraining, or re-retraining, but eventually they will understand and agree. They will abide. Some might not take to the training, some might resist, not abide, but once we have been sanitized, only the more intelligent, more peaceful in nature, will remain. They will desire and deserve the utopia they will help create. They will know that this is good for them. It will be good for everyone. It's the next generation we really need to work on. The children. We are doing this for the children. So they can have a better life. We need them to understand early. Then they will know nothing different. They will not know want or envy. What a beautiful thought. What a beautiful gift we are giving them. Their minds will be pure, and this idea, this nation and this world can then reach its apex. It will be glorious. All other countries will want to be like us. They will follow our lead, our example. A new world order with order, and fairness and equality. All because we have learned from history, and we will do it better this time. I look forward to our future together my brothers and sisters. Peace. Equality. Progress. That is our future. Our destiny.

If you feel really good and optimistic and are in agreeance with what you just read, you took the Blue Pill. You are ready to receive and need minimal retraining. Your place in the future is secure.

If you are pissed off and mad and frightened, and have a sudden urge read the Constitution and inventory your ammunition and clean and op-check your guns, you took the Red Pill. You are ready to resist. You most likely do not have a place in their future.

That was my work of fiction, THIS is not.

P.S. This started out as a few sentences and a link, but just kept on flowing and growing.

"my profession no longer exists"

I am sure this is just an isolated incident...

Teacher Resignation Letter

He could and did retire. Many can't but feel the same way. Many love the job, and need the job, but are caught in a system they can't or are unwilling to change or fix. Like many and most government things, education has gotten too big, too cumbersome, too many bureaucrats, too expensive, too much union influence, too liberal, too much government, and not enough educating and parental involvement. It might be beyond fixing. It is and will be abandon slowly. It might need to go away, and come back in a different form. It will most likely be kept alive, barely, on life support and deemed too big to fail, but it is, failing. Makes me sad. Makes me frustrated.*


Makes this sound better and better every day.

Bravo Drudge!

If you're pissing them off, you know your doing something right.

Keep on doing what your doing Drudge.
