Finally, The Truth About Abortion "Rights"

Published on July 10, 2009 in The Bigger Picture. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , .

 

            We have all known it was true.  Jesse Jackson, no relation to King Michael, even started his political career stating nearly the exact words.  He was specifically concerned that abortion would be legalized genocide for the black community.  He took the opposite position on the promise of having a voice in the Democratic part in the 70s.

             This week abortion “rights” champion and official Supreme Court nap taker, Ruth Bader Ginsburg finally said what we all know.

             Justice Ginsburg reportedly said, “Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.”

             Ah, the voice of reason and love finally goes public.  I thought it was about a woman’s right to choose.  I thought it was about the health of the mother.  Please do not tell me now that it was always about keeping the unwanted people groups in check.

             Perhaps the most disturbing thing about this comment is that it blows out all the theories we have been fed about how compassionate liberals are.  Finally we can see that they are the elitist we suspected they were.  The most amazing thing is that there is no national outrage over the caustic remarks.

             The most horrifying thing about Justice Ginsburg’s statements is the flippant way we now view the murder of fellow human beings.

             At least now we can put to rest the niceties of the politically correct world we live in and get to the heart of the matter.

             Let me make sure you understand the significance of this change in rhetoric.  Abortion is not about women’s rights.  Abortion is not about protecting the health of the mother.  Abortion is about feminism.  Abortion is about controlling the cycles of life.

             Above all, however, abortion, by the admission of one of its legal champions, is about controlling “growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.”  Forget the ending of a sentence in a preposition, this is an amazing admission.  The champions of freedom are closet bigots. 

             I would feel redeemed, but there is too much blood on the ground from the millions of murdered babies.  It still cries out for redemption!

And Now The Consequences…

I know, I know, Obama becoming president was an historic moment and one we should all be proud to have lived to see.  That is true; from slavery to the Civil War to the Civil Rights movement to President is a great move forward for the history of race relations.

Having said that we are now going to see why it is that Christians must vote their conscience instead of some enlightened feel good position.  If we are not going to live out our faith in the voting booth, then we should not kid ourselves about the value of our faith.  Faith is the evidence of things not seen.  Evidence is something you can see, feel, and touch.  Evidence is what puts criminals in jail.  Faith that does not influence the voting booth is not faith at all.

Electing extreme left leaning liberals, like Obama, might make you feel like an enlightened white person, or a loyal black person.  Unfortunately, as Christians we are not called to be enlightened in the things of this world.  We are called to be different from the causes of the day when those causes defy the moral code God established from the beginning of the Universe.

I am a one issue voter.  I know there are other issues that matter, but they will take care of themselves eventually.  From the beginning of recorded history God has been firm on one thing—He does not believe in murder, in any form.

Many liberals understand this principle in a limited fashion.  They do not believe in killing the guilty through capital punishment, the death penalty.  They do not believe in cruelty to animals which leads to the killing of animals—it is not murder to kill an animal regardless of how much we love Bugs Bunny.  They believe war is murder and are against that.

It seems liberals have the high road when it comes to believing in the sanctity of life.  If you believe that you are sadly mistaken.

It is on the issue of abortion that their strict moral structure dies. 

 That is how I define a liberal—they believe in murdering the innocent and protecting the guilty.  I am pro-life, I believe in protecting the innocent and the guilty.  No abortion, no death penalty!

In the next few weeks dear Mr. Obama will be appointing a nominee to fill Justice Souter’s seat on the Supreme Court.  Fortunately for you and me Mr. Justice Souter is a “conservative” turned liberal justice and his vote will not be changed by the new nominee.  Unfortunately for you and me the person appointed to his seat will likely be even more liberal and extremely young in Supreme Court Justice Years—they are the opposite of dog years.  Justices live longer than most people and seldom walk away from the job.

Suddenly all of the reasons why Christians vote for abortion are going to matter.  If we truly are a Christian nation then we need to figure out why we are tolerating legalized murder.  Same-sex marriage, sure it matters, but abortion is murder and we have become surprisingly accepting of abortion—even if only through the politicians we support.

I am voting my conscience!  Always have, always will.

His Holiness, The Pope, Meets Her Stupidness, Nancy Pelosi

Published on February 19, 2009 in Just Having Fun! and The Bigger Picture. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , .

 

            I know, I know, half of you are mad that I would show such honor to a Catholic, especially the Pope, while the rest of you are angry that I called Nancy Pelosi stupid.  So, let me clear it all up.

 

            I was being nice—Nancy would need to brain transplant to rise to the level of stupid.  Evil might be a better description.  The queen of the left coast, hero of the City by the Bay, ground zero for judgment in the final days, met the Pope this week and evidently thought it was a good time to show him some family photos.

 

            I do not care what your belief system is; stupid is a good word for someone who shows personal photos at a time like this.  She probably asked him to be her Facebook friend at the same time.

 

            “Oh, Mr. Pope, I mean your sometimes holiness, when you are not speaking about abortion, do you twitter?  I am known as @idiotbythebay.  Follow me on twitter.  After all, I sort of follow you the rest of the time.

 

            “And by the way, when you are going to let a woman serve as Pope?  I volunteer.”

 

            Oh, I could go on all day, but you get the point.

 

            As long as people like this are in charge of the government we can only pray that we are not destroyed by our own stupidity.

The Preservative Value of Plastic: Cher Lives!

Published on February 6, 2009 in Just Having Fun!. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , .

 

            I have to say that I love George W. Bush, I know that is not popular, but then what do I care?  I have thought that Bush’s Presidency was successful with some serious failures.

 

            Now, I have to rethink my opinion.  If I had known how close Bush came to killing Cher and yet failed I would never have felt good about his Presidency.  So close, but this in not hand grenades. 

 

            Cher lives, thus Bush failed.

 

            The real question is, and you will have to excuse me for cussing but this moment demands it, why in the hell is it that liberals cannot win graciously.  They have the Senate, the House, and the Presidency and still they want to whine about George W. Bush.

 

            Grow up and shut up.  Get in line right behind the proverbial Bruce Springsteen who only manages to sound stupid when he is talking.  Otherwise he seems like a nice, intelligent rock star.  Mr. Springsteen, do us all a favor and go behind that huge security gate on your properties and use that gate to our advantage—shut up and sing, then we can turn to another station, problem solved.

 

            Of course, part of the problem is that they are deliberately working hard to make matters worse than they are so that expectations will be low and thus success not expected.

 

            Even Forrest Gump could succeed in the world Obama wants us to believe he inherited from Bush.  These arguments might be nice if we would only forget that it is Congress that has spending power.  And then we have to remember who is in control of Congress—oh, yeah, the Democrats, the global warming creating and fighting, abortion-providing taxers of everything good and decent in our world.

 

            Oh, I know, let us live in the hope that was promised.  Let us live in a world where government spending on government programs will help the rest of us.

 

            What we need is a good five year plan, just like our father Joseph Stalin was so fond of.  Well, there probably is some hope for that.

 

            Cher, do not give up.  A couple of more surgeries and you might even be preborn—then you have nothing to fear from your crowd of heroes and baby killers.

Thank God Alec Baldwin Is Leading The Charge On Parenting And The Law!

Published on September 20, 2008 in The Bigger Picture. 1 Comment Tags: , , , , , , .

            At first I was angry when I saw that Alec Baldwin has “written” a book on parenting.  Surprisingly enough it is not called “Shut Up, You Little Pig.”  I think the title change alone is enough to say that maybe, just maybe Alec is learning how to be a father.

 

            According to the blurb I read in the USAToday, the book is about parental rights, the law, and divorce.  I find it hard to believe that Alec is complaining that the courts are stacked against him.  After the last highly publicized interaction with his daughter, you were probably not surprised that Alec did not receive any votes for father of the year, other than from a couple of people on his payroll.  The yes men speak.  I am not sure why he claims to be upset with the legal system, but I am upset with the legal system if he still has any right to interact with his daughter without supervision.

 

            I have had my fill of men who cannot control their tempers.  There is no excuse for a man belittle others—especially a father with his daughter.  I worked for years with a man who thought that it made him a bigger man if he belittled me and others in front of our co-workers.  This type of immaturity and improper behavior cannot be tolerated.

 

            Maybe when Janeane Garofalo said last week that republicans are mean she really meant that Alec Baldwin is mean.  Maybe when she said that terror was a republican policy she meant to blame it on Alec.

 

            If the courts are stacked against fathers in family rights that might be something we should look into.  If Alec Baldwin is the proof of this bias, then let’s move to another topic.  He has worked hard to get what he has earned, live with it.

 

            Of course, Alec could have avoided all of these problems if he were a man of his word.  I seem to remember the promise that if Bush was elected President Alec would leave the country.  Why is it that violent, ill-tempered men are not able to keep their word?  Where is integrity when you need it?!

 

            Finally, Janeane, I feel your pain.  The fact that Alec has a child is a great example of a lack of “reproductive justice.”  It is only a shame that Alec is not a republican so he could be proof of the correctness of Janeane’s inane rambles and rants.

 

Maybe we are wrong on abortion, maybe we should refuse to let some people father children.

 

            Just a thought!

Where Are The True Feminists?

Published on September 3, 2008 in The Bigger Picture. 1 Comment Tags: , , , , , , , , .

My entire life is made up of people claiming that women were equal to men.  I was belittled if I did not believe it.  I was made to feel stupid if I raised any questions to it.  I finally gave in and realized that women and men are equal.  Women are as smart as men.  Women are as tough as men.

 

I get it.  Frankly, after living with my wife for 18 years I might have to say that I no longer agree that men and women are equal.  Watching her go through life and really give everything for everybody, I have come to believe that women might be better than men.  They are certainly better at giving of themselves to serve those around them.  My wife gets sick and does not care for herself because there are still others who need her.  I get sick and she puts me to bed and makes me rest.  For her there is no rest for the weary.

 

Suddenly, the rules have changed.  Suddenly, with the elevation of a conservative woman to the vice presidential candidate of the Republican Party women are not equal simply because they are women.

 

I have been amazed to watch liberal women jump off the women are equal to men bandwagon that I am riding on.  It is like watching blacks jump off the blacks are equal to whites bandwagon simply because some blacks are conservative.

 

This is the reason I lean to the right.  Since the sixties I have watched liberals run from intellectual integrity.  They believe in evolution but everyone else is an idiot.  They believe in abortion and the rest of us are stupid.  They believe in peace at all costs and the rest of us are unintelligent.  They believe God is dead and therefore God, who insists in being alive, is stupid.  I am sure you see the direction I am going.

 

I am tired of apologizing for my beliefs.  They have served me well; they have served our country well.  Let’s learn to disagree with dignity.  I will not be less because I do not mindlessly follow the teachings of those who seem to be living on the flashbacks of their LSD days.

As Joan Boaz said in song:  “The sixties are over…” so let them be.  It is time to move on.  Take another hit of acid and leave me alone!
