Christmas is over and I am ready to come back and talk to myself again. During the campaign I, like many other college students, were bombarded with Obama imagery, free concerts and voter turnout rallies. During one of these I happened to walk by an Obama booth. The campaign stumper there told me all the usual, and my favorite line I was fed was 'You know Obama is going to give you 5k for college right?' I am sure this type of bribe works on a lot of people. Of course I brought up all the usual, “Where are you going to get the money?” “We are going to end the Iraq war. Then we will have all the money we need.” “That won't save enough money.” It continued for awhile of course.
It seems to never occur to anyone in college that money does not grow on trees. I always found that strange since presumably they all work for a living. I am a broke college student. I know people are having a hard time keeping up with bills. Still many college students are now rejoicing in their handouts. After the election I manged to sit down and think over this fact. When I mulled over it for a bit, I went temporarily insane because of what I figured out.
First of all this money must come from somewhere so therefor taxes go up, therefor prices go up and job losses go up. None of this is helpful obviously but this is also well covered by many before me. Let us assume for a second that the Obama stumper was right and let us say that the Iraq war would cover all of this. The simple fact is that colleges are businesses. It may seem to many libs to be somehow evil but these schools are not teaching law and economics for their health, they do it for a profit. Every college prices the tuition to restrict and attract certain groups of people. Higher prices tend to hit the high capita families, other colleges target middle classes and still others target upper lower classes. What do you think will happen if you throw 4k into the mix? If colleges really were these ultra accepting institutions that wanted to get more lower income families into college, then they could just lower the tuition cost 4k. The simple fact is that they are priced where they believe they can get the most money. Unfortunately what will almost certainly happen is that tuition will actually increase 4k across the board.
This gets better. To get these 4k dollar government handouts, an individual needs to work for 100 hours of community service. So tuition goes up 4k a year meaning people who are just making the cut, like me, are no longer able to afford college. So now I am expected to go to college full-time, work full-time, study for about three hours (I am lazy) a week and perform 100 hours of community service. I find it strange that conservatives are always being compared to Hitler and called racists and made out to be somehow evil, yet with all this evil scheming going on we still have not reinstituted indentured servitude. Man, if I could only remember what amendment to the constitution banned that.
This was the part that made me go nutso for a week. What is wrong with people? This in reality is worse then indentured servitude because most indentured servants were indentured because they had to pay off a debt owed for coming to the new world, in this case I would effectively lose over seventy credits of hard work and money spent. It seems you do not need whips to enslave a college student.
I am sure it will be only a short while before someone tries to pass this off as a 'free market solution'. Why is it liberals believe that a 'free market' always involves massive government interventionism? The last I checked, the free market was supposed to be a bastion for individualism. It seems that now the free market is a gigantic charity auction with more suits then Italy has made in the last half century.
Of course this would be bad on its own but wait theres more! I know, this is one sick game show. The Obama Biden team have come up with yet another way to make this worse. The tax-credit (handout for those of you who have not been paying attention to this scheme) is fully-refundable to any college student. Call me crazy but I think you do not need to be a college student to figure out that if you sign up for one class at a community college then you will rake in a lot of dough. This problem is a bit more iffy as it is possible that Obama may get some restriction on this to reign in government abuse. Wait... never mind; I forgot where we were.
Normally this next paragraph would be the part where I lament that our constitution is no longer being followed but I am sure that train has gone and passed and blew up somewhere in the Gobi desert. No the entire collection of college students will take one in the rear end coming this next fall. If people would just read or maybe just think a little then all our problems could be solved. As long as people go looking for a handout from big brother though this is not going to happen.

You wanted it and now you have it.
Well there you have it; Obama won. If you’re a lib I am sure your happy, which if your like me, is just plain strange when you think about it. It is like watching a guy with schizophrenia cut off his arm to stop it from hurting him. If you are a lib I am sure your thinking “Oh just another republican ticked off he lost. GET OVER IT. (loser)” My favorite gloating comment came from a guy yesterday night who told me “Get over it and work with us.” No doubt he is all for unity. I, on the other hand, care only about ideology, conservative ideology that is (with some libertarianism thrown in to boot). This means that if Barrack keeps his promises then I could never “work with him”. Sorry, it does not work that way. If I disagree I will straight up tell you. “Working with him” would require going against everything I believe in.
This post isn’t about me being angry. As the title suggests, this is about what you want. You voted for Barrack and now he will be our president on January 20. I will merely be informative about what you have done to yourself. I am sure you won’t believe any of this but keep reading and remember. I told you this will happen. I will state a position you voted for and then show you precisely how you will get it. Enjoy.
“I voted for him because he will finally stop working for the rich and help out the middle class/working poor.”
Certainly he will tax the rich, and every conservative will howl at the idea. Not because we ourselves our rich (technically with my current income I would fall under Obama’s money giveaway), but because it simply is wrong, period. That is right, even if it screws me I don’t believe in taxes above and beyond what it takes to run the country (note: I am only including constitutional duties, not money givaways).
The problem is that he wants to kill the Bush tax cuts which, when implemented, decreased taxes for everyone with taxable income above 6k dollars. The cuts in the 2001 cuts were 3% for anyone in the 28% tax bracket and above and a tax cut of 4.6% on the highest bracket. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_Growth_and_Tax_Relief_Reconciliation_Act_of_2001 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_Growth_and_Tax_Relief_Reconciliation_Act_of_2001 numbers for individuals, brackets are higher for all other statuses. You can also read the actual document posted by the IRS, though if you have a life (lucky) then you will want to skip it. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-soi/01taxsh.pdf. That is a lot more in depth. Enjoy.)
“The bush tax cuts helped the middle class?” Yes, we have been telling you this for five years. What? You think we are going to lie? Why wouldn’t you make the same assumption about the other side? I don’t have a history of lying to others and most conservatives I know don’t either. To late though so this is what you get if this was your mistake.
Now taxes will increase on everyone. Certainly this will affect the ‘rich’ more but never-the-less it will hit everyone. He is a problem though. The rich can take a hit. If I had 200k and lost ten percent then, well that sucks. If you an the other hand have 35k and lose ten percent then that is the difference between buying a new TV and taking your child out of that jumpstart program for elementary. So say goodbye to your child’s college aspirations, hello McDonalds. It gets worse of course.
The ‘rich’ will want their 10% back. Since they tend to be the class that runs businesses then they will increase prices. For those of you who don’t read economics, that means inflation. Further, they cannot just raise prices forever to combat high costs. No one will by a three dollar banana. So they must reduce costs. If Obama didn’t already say he was going to mandate healthcare insurance then that would probably go. A pay cut would make sense but won’t happen because that too is locked out for any minimum wage job. So if your Richie rich then you will fire people. This means job losses.
“That can’t be true, Obama said he would create jobs.” The fact that you believe that is why people like me are shaking our heads in shame. Taxes NEVER create jobs. “But Obama said he will give tax breaks to those corporations that provide jobs.” Even if he does that it will not be sufficient to counter Obama’s progressive tax that is more then 50%. The tax break would have to be a fifty percent cut on Obama’s own proposed tax increase. This means that even if we were all lying about the Bush tax cuts then the middle class would not do well under Obama. Further people who pay no net taxes (i.e. receive rebates equal to their taxed income) will receive additional checks. Good news if you make less then 25k per year (till the inflation gets them anyway), but everyone else is stuck will the check. Have you figured it out yet?
“I voted for Barrack Obama because the republicans screwed up the economy.”
This is an example of a half-truth. Yes, Bush allowed several measures that increased the national debt to pass. This irritates me as well, but this has little to do with the economy. Why bring it up then? Because libs often do, usually using this as a reason against the Iraq war (front). Although this increase in debt does exist remember, article I section VII states “All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives”. So this includes budgets. If you think this doesn’t clear the republicans then remember this. During the entire six years of republican congresses the debt increased 2,947,308,345,232.84 but under the last two years of democratic congress the debt has increased 1,891,061,112,953.10. This equates to 490 billion per year for the republicans and 945 billion per year for the democrats. That is nearly double. Even if the Iraq war had never happened the deficit per year would be only 100 billion less. (source http://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/NPGateway)
This really does not matter though since this has little to do with the economy until the printing presses start. However the Community Reinvestment Act is a big cause of our problems. It is the bill that created Fannie and Freddy, and during the Clinton administration they both were told to give out sub-prime loans en mass. Loans to people who cannot pay? Seems to me to be a bad idea but hey, who am I to judge Clinton’s economic ideas? This was forseen for years and ignored by the democratic congress. So now capital is running dry. Combine this with the taxes Obama will increase and we are screwed. (see a pattern?)
“I voted for Barrack Obama because he is pro choice/gay rights/environment etc…”
At least in this case you are voting for an ideology. In the case of abortion I think it is abominable and gay rights (i.e. marrage) I think the solution is a poor one. In fact I have already provided arguments against these so read those then come back.
“I voted for Barrack Obama because he is black and we need a black president.”
The argument for this is always retarded. Either we need to make up for past wrongs or we need to make history. The first one is easy to defeat because if that one is true then we should also elect Kim Jung Il for putting him through all the trouble we put him through with our sanctions. It would also make sense to elect an Islamic, an Indian, an Irishman, a Russian immigrant… see where this goes? Even though we have enslaved an entire people, that is not a sufficient reason to have one as president.
The history making argument goes awry as well. If this is your argument then understand it goes both ways. If Obama becomes a great president (a laughable idea), then he will go down in history books as a great man. You could continue this and say things like “our past wrongs would be righted” (see last paragraph) “Our world and our country will be more diverse” or any other ideas. The ones you choose don’t really matter. If however he is a bad president then he will be infamous. Even if he is a sort of bad president the world will remember him as a disappointment. This taken to its conclusion suggests that all we have done if force every black guy after him to live under his shadow. If he is a good president then hurray, but if he is even a little bad then it will be harder for every successor to get out. So by this logic I would say you only wanted to make it harder on them all. That is a bad idea.
The major point I am trying to raise on the last reason is that you need to pick someone based on their ideology not some superficial trait. It would be as if I picked Paris Hilton. Granted that isn’t entirely as bad a Barrack, after all, she does have a better energy plan the Obama.
Oh well. In two years we can take back congress and in the meantime filibustering is still a slight possibility. Barrack is safe though I have no doubt. Now that the election is over I think I will focus on theory a lot. The big challenge for conservatives will be to educate their friends and family. This isn’t just a war of people, it is a war of ideas, and I think in the grand scheme of things our ideas are better.

Even crazy glue can't keep his trap shut.
I bet Obama’s campaign advisors are searching for a gag that will effectively muffle his speaking. I don’t think it would help in this case though. If you haven’t heard, then let me be the first to tell you about Obama’s latest gaff. This one is about seven years old.
In 2001 Obama gave an interview with the local NPR station WBEZ in Chicago. This of course being before he was planning to run for US senator or president, he spoke his mind as liberally as he could. There were many wonderful quotes from this. A few examples are such as these.
“the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society.”
“It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, at least as its been interpreted, and Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can’t do to you. Says what the Federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf”
“one of the, I think, tragedies of the civil rights movement was, um, because the civil rights movement became so court focused I think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change. In some ways we still suffer from that.”
Each of these quotes by themselves is scary. The second is my favorite though. Obama there was trying to state that the constitution does not define what the government is supposed to do for you. I think this is proof positive that Obama has ADHD. He was a professor of constitutional law in Chicago and he couldn’t even bother to read a couple pages in to see Article I section VIII? Maybe he skipped that, and Article II section III. This is somewhat amazing at first but take a look at the rest of this tape that surfaced on Youtube and other sites and it becomes apparent what he means.
The first quote was his reasons for believing that the Warren court was not really that radical. This was the same court that banned prayer in school but hey, who am I to judge. Those evil Christians had it coming. Naturally this is a very important quote as of late. After all, he has been speaking of redistributing the wealth. Some claim this means nothing, but in reality context is everything, and the context is his belief that we should re-interpret the constitution. If you do not believe that then just read quote number two.
Later in the tape he was asked about how to bring about this change. (Do you understand now why change isn’t always good?) He stated that he did not feel optimistic about these types of changes being made at the court level. (i.e. he doesn’t think anyone could get away with it.) However he never said it couldn’t be done legislatively. Of course it could be done legislatively; if you read the constitution then you will know that. The question is should it be done, and unfortunately he seems to answer that question for us today and in that interview.
This certainly came at a bad time for Obama. It has been only a few weeks after Joe the Plummer reared his head and the ripple was still going. Now this causes even more people to look at him and see that dreaded S word on his head. He is already considered foreign. The only thing he really had going for him was that many people falsely believe that McCain would just be more Bush. This fear is now being combated with a bigger fear; the fear of socialism and all other forms of totalitarianism.
To this I ask the question who is really surprised that Barrack believes this? Ideas of socialism permeate his speeches, radicalism drips from every word he spews from his mouth. Are people really this blind or do they want so bad to teach the Republican Party a lesson that they are willing to destroy the country?
His pastor subscribes to black liberation theology, a philosophy derived largely from socialism. William Ares (known lovingly as the fireworks specialist. He is available for parties and insurrections) is a radical from the 60s. Normally that would be all you need to know to know Ayres is bad but it is worth noting that he was also a bomber and a self described communist. These comments are unfair though. After all, lots of us detonate bombs in our capital. It’s a game we play called “guess what kind of timer I used this time.”
“But these are all past associations, they mean nothing.” Even allowing that, doesn’t Obama tie in really well with Obama? I think that association works great. People are starting to wake up and figure out what is going on. Unfortunately early voting has been going on for a bit so this revelation will have a reduced effect.
His third quote that I pulled was by far the scariest. Sure, the first one smacks of socialism and the second one shows just how little he knows about the constitution, but the third one calls for action “on the ground”. If you substituted “political and community organizing and activities” with “Proletariat organizing and activities” then you have a near verbatim quote of Marx and Engels. Revolution is what that one is about, specifically with regard to “redistributive change.” His own website tells you that you must ask not about what change he can bring but the change you can bring. That is as fascist/socialist as you can get without wearing the colors.
“Your being paranoid.” Maybe, then again there is a reason we have more then one country in shambles because of these ideas. Countries like the USSR, Cuba, Italy, and Germany don’t convince people to help them out by promising gulags. It is always some form of Utopia that is promised. Barrack wants us to believe that if we vote for him then the middle class will prosper and the ‘evil’ rich will be brought under the reins of the government. Health care will be affordable (‘free’) and everyone will be given a fair shake. He doesn’t mention that we will also be under his thumb and that the fairness of our shake is entirely up to him, congress and bureaucrats. If you believe that he would never abuse his power like that then look at Russia under Lenin. Even if he were incorruptible then would you want to bet that the next guy will be also?
The fact is that the people are starting to see him for what he is. This is a problem because his real self is just plain scary. The polls are beginning to reflect this as the AP shows McCain just one point behind, well within the 2.5% margin of error. Well Halloween is on Friday so maybe Obama will go as himself. That might scare the children though.

Countries like the USSR, Cuba, Italy, and Germany don’t convince people to help them out by promising gulags. It is always some form of Utopia that is promised. Barrack wants us to believe that if we vote for him then the middle class will prosper and the ‘evil’ rich will be brought under the reins of the government. Health care will be affordable (‘free’) and everyone will be given a fair shake. He doesn’t mention that we will also be under his thumb and that the fairness of our shake is entirely up to him, congress and bureaucrats. If you believe that he would never abuse his power like that then look at Russia under Lenin. Even if he were incorruptible then would you want to bet that the next guy will be also?
The fact is that the people are starting to see him for what he is. This is a problem because his real self is just plain scary. The polls are beginning to reflect this as the AP shows McCain just one point behind, well within the 2.5% margin of error. Well Halloween is on Friday so maybe Obama will go as himself. That might scare the children though.

The ACORN dosn't fall far from the tree.
We have more talk of voter fraud this election, and this time it is the dems who are involved. I am not saying that the dems don’t usually commit voter fraud, (after all, I need to give them their due) just that this one is definitely them. ACORN, which stands for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, has been singled out for a fraud investigation in which several states, including my own, have been seeing enormous amounts of fake registrations. These states include Wisconsin, New Mexico, Indiana and Nevada. I have also heard of Ohio being yet another state in this laundry list of targeted fraud.
Targeted I say? Well I would say that when immense voter fraud ‘happens’ to be rampant in swing states, and this fraud can be traced to a single group, then we have sufficient evidence of a group of people trying to sway an election. I thought it was us republicans who tried to steal elections. Everyone still talks about the alleged voter fraud in Florida in 2000. You know, boxes falling off trucks and polling machines being tampered with in heavy democrat counties. (Of course since this all happened in Florida we could chock all that up to, well, Florida. No offense to Floridians of course. It isn’t your fault that your bureaucracy is filled with incompetence.)
In reality this isn’t a surprise to anyone. Even in 2000, the election had numerous attempts to steal the election including not counting the votes of absentee military votes, and this was perpetrated by the dems. In 2004, ACORN was suspected of voter fraud, again. (Source: http://www.epionline.org/news_detail.cfm?rid=171) And no in 2008 we have yet more ACORN buisness. (Vegas source: http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/07/acorn-vegas-office-raided-voter-fraud-investigation/ CNN secondary source: http://hotair.com/archives/2008/10/10/cnn-acorn-fraud-and-ties-to-obama/)
As that last source indicates, Obama is tied with ACORN. It appears that he has donated $800,000 for voter drives. I find it interesting that he claims that he had nothing to do with this at all, yet the same voter drives he donated money for are the same ones committing fraud. Obama, however, claims that he had nothing to do with this. He isn’t even president yet and he already has Nixon beat for corrupting politics. Perhaps I am wrong though. Maybe dead people really are rising from the dead and voting for him; he is called the messiah after all.
Of course an ACORN lawyer had this to say. “We believe their purpose is to attack ACORN and suppress votes.” (also from the hotair.com source) No…. we don’t want to do that. We want to encourage as many people as possible to vote as many times as they like. We, after all, strive for the same kind of accuracy that internet polls give us. He continued “We think that by attacking ACORN that they are going to discourage people who have may have registered with ACORN from voting.” This seems like a laughable claim since half the votes turned in are from ACORN employees. The GOP scare tactics are dazzlingly effective it seems to me. My god, what will we think of next. “Vote McCain or else we will cover your with pet dander!” God help you if your allergic to cats.
Bertha Lewis of ACORN has stated “We immediately dismiss employees we suspect of submitting fraudulent registrations” (foxnews.com) I am not certain if she meant any fraudulent registrations or just very bad fraudulent registrations. After all, if I was paying a guy to steal an election and he registered the Dallas Cowboys starting lineup, I would probably fire him too. I live in Nevada, trust me, Terrell Owens doesn’t. Things like this almost make me wonder if they wanted to get caught.
But none of this matters. We all know democrats don’t steal elections, republicans do. At least that is what I am told. I seem to be out of touch with my branch of the right wing conspiracy. I have forgotten what horrible plans we have come up with.
No, this is just the normal strategy of the left wing. I wonder if one day they will make powdered instant voter. Obama will be pleased and trust me, if he wins, all will be forgiven for ACORN. It is, after all, what he wants.

Where is the self-destruct button?
I am an idiot. I must be because when I saw the House shoot down the bailout I honestly thought that those representatives were standing on principle. Turns out all they really wanted was some more pork. It was kind of like a Jambalaya from hell. Don’t believe me? Look at the bill yourself. http://banking.senate.gov/public/_files/latestversionAYO08C32_xml.pdf
I look at this crap; The Mental health Parity Act, The Hurricane Ike Disaster Relief, The Secure Rural School and Community Self-determination Plan? No it turns out the real reason we didn’t pass the bailout the first time is because several House members needed an excuse to usurp several banks and loans. “I didn’t vote for the bailout, I voted for the disaster relief.” “No, you see, I really voted on the Mental Health Parity Act. Do you hate the mentally challenged?” I am sick and tired of these creeps covering their own behinds. A well trained sniper would have a hard time taking a shot at their butts. Where are the courageous representatives who stand up and say “No, I will not tolerate this. I will stop you from going beyond your enumerated power and stop this bill.”
If you look at the votes on this bill on congress.org, then you will see those that, hopefully, did just that. Unfortunately only the few seemed to pay attention to those pesky words in that irritating document our founders mistakenly wrote. I don’t doubt that if our founders had another go at it John Adams would have said “Hey, you know what we should add in here? We should add something like ‘and the congress shall have power to impose their will upon the markets in times that shall be determined my congress.’” On the bright side, Jefferson’s spinning body could be harnessed for some green energy.
If they were not so isolationist, I just might switch my registration to Libertarian. Unfortunately the Republican party has been taken over by cowards and moderates. (Moderate is liberal speak for a Democrat who is quite fond of elephants.) Most people at the grass roots are happy for the mere existence of Sarah Palin. Unfortunately her existence does me little good if McCain insists on her reading from scripts.
However do not get me wrong. Our ideas are not dead. The fact that I am posting this up here on the internet proves that. Trickledown theory is still popular, collectivism is still opposed harshly and the peaceniks still tick most people off. Conservatives are not dead, Conservatism is not dead. The party though, it is crashing. Politics have taken over and instead of standing up for what we believe in, the politicians stand up for what will get them re-elected.
These people are starting to disappoint me. It seems that there is little chance of people like me just getting rid of these guys the old fashioned way. So join me and let’s find that self-destruct button. Maybe we could start all over again, but most likely not. Until the Republican party grows a backbone we wont be able to do this our most sacred duty, which is get these guys out of office.

Fannie Pack-age
Congratulations, you are eligible to lose about 1.5 to 5k dollars. With the numbers still rising on the Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac bailouts we can be rest assured that we will be paying the bill. Let’s forget for a moment the ignorance required to believe this is a good idea; let’s ask the question "How is this even constitutional?”
There is nothing, nothing in the constitution that allows this. What is this you ask? Well literally buying three companies (Fannie Mae, Freddy Mac and AIG). The government will get the stock majority of these three companies and essentially run them into the ground. Apparently a bunch of House Dems took us seriously when we told them to “try running their own company”. The federal government is supposed to dismantle the failed corporations once the bailout is complete but this assumes the government actually does what it is supposed to do. Sorry if I don’t believe their sincerity, but then again this same government said Social Security is to be used only for Social Security.
Understand that when the government says you will bailout Fannie and Freddie (no I did mean you); it means the debt incurred by the “inevitable” bailout. I wonder what Biden would say about this. Whether or not he supports this is probably determined by how it affects Amtrak. No this is a problem for Barrack Obama. He has received the second largest amount from PACs and individuals associated with Fanny and Freddy totaling $126,349. (individuals includes employees of those two companies. Data courtesy of OpenSecrets.org)
This debt incurred will start as half a trillion to, some say, as high as 1.8 trillion dollars but we have to pay interest on that sum too. In the end we will all bite this big one. Not because we have to or even should, but because the government has once again started playing SimCity with the market. Somehow throwing money at the problem seems like the opposite of what we need to do.
Don’t get me wrong either, this once again is a bi-partisan effort to screw us all. G.W. himself said we ‘need’ to do this. Seems like every time I can start to be happy again about him being in office he says something stupid. McCain has also bought into this dogma. God save us all.
I suggest we forget this all. Let every company that is going to fail do just that, fail. Sure, the stock market will take one hell of a hit. Many people will find themselves in trouble but in the end the stock market will strike back strong and most people will get their assets in order. However if we go down this path, which believe me we will, then the entire U.S. economy will suffer for it. The corporations will suffer from higher taxes and our countries credit will crumble further. Inflation will definitely occur and in the end someone will make millions writing a book about how we might have made a mistake. Well someone has to benefit from this.

Margret Sanger would be proud.
While I was gone, lost in the first weeks of school, McCain picked his VP nominee. Believe me, everyone was surprised. I mean seriously, Alaska? Well Sarah Palin turned out to be a terrific choice. Not only is she both a fiscal and a social conservative, but she has the kind of following that makes even Obama do a double take.
This post though, isn't about Sarah Palin. As the title would suggest, this is about the abortion issue. Sarah Palin has given birth to a wonderful baby with Down Syndrome. The kicker is that she knew about the disability before she actually gave birth to the young one. This is compared to the 90% of expecting mothers who usually abort. So the left-wing media congratulated her with hit pieces and numerous blog insults. After all, what kind of evil villain would allow baby Trig to live!?
Lets face it, the biggest problem for the Obama-maniacs is that not only is she female, but she is conservative. STOP THE PRESSES!!! GET THE POLICE AND ARREST HER BEFORE SHE SPEAKS HER MIND!!! How dare she not fall in line with the NOW Loons. NOW, of course, is attacking Palin like Ted Kennedy attacks a bottle of Jack. Planned Parenthood is also not a fan of hers. I say come and get her, you baby-killing loons.
This boils down to the Pro-Abortion... sorry Pro-Womyn's Health Choicers. The argument against abortion goes like this. Murder is defined as the killing of an innocent person by another person. There are three ways to try to define aborted fetuses (aka the Alpo secret ingredient) outside of the definition of murder. Either they are not innocent, "That baby killed my Ma'mah" they are not people (this would take one heck of a deranged person to make that argument) or they cannot be killed. The last one is the most popular argument. By defining life as starting at x number of weeks past conception we can con the justice system into not tossing these baby killers in prison. The argument is mostly arbitrary, and, in order to hide this fact, many words like Nazi are tossed around with sobs about raped women.
The fact is that once you get to the arbitrary nature of the law it becomes obvious just how dangerous this is. Say someone gets in and states that all Morons and Idiots should be sterilized. This might sound extreme but someone named Margaret Sanger suggested just that and was somewhat successful at it. So obviously we need a definition that is not up for arbitration. The problem is that most definitions lead to horrible consequences.
Here are some examples. If we define life as being a complete human (thereby allowing the exclusion of fetuses) then the definition of “complete” comes under fire. Depending on what you mean by complete, life starts at either conception (complete DNA) and going out to months out and perhaps even after birth. Certainly many of the Womyn would agree with most of that. “Complete”, though, can be pushed even further. If I stated that the mentally deficient are not “complete”, then they are not alive. Imagine an Orwellian world of non-persons and suddenly this seems to make sense. "But no one would ever do that!" Wrong!! It has been done before by progressives back in the early 1900's. Many people today still hold these crazy views.
Another example is what if we say life begins once they can feel pain (Makes sense if you are "humane"). Suddenly lepers would need to hide to avoid a parade of murderous thugs that would come after them. How ‘bout life begins once the fetus is human-like? This might push life to three months after conception, but runs into more problems. What is human-like? Is human like somewhat human? If I had MS would I be human? If I had AIDS and suddenly did not have an immune system, would that lack of an immune system make me less human? What if I was born without a pinky toe? With an eleventh finger? What if Darwin or Nietche rose from the dead and suggested that the "savage races" were not really human? (Can you tell I don't like Eugenics yet?)
Let’s face it, not only is conception the best, and by best I mean most humane, place to begin, but science and religion agree. I mean come on; I thought you guys liked science. The definition of life, according to science, is so broad that it encompasses viruses and bacteria. To say that human fetuses are not living is to say they are less that the bacteria we wash off our hands.
"But what about cases of rape? Are you going to allow a woman to live with that horrible burden?"
First, I would NEVER consider a child brought into the world as anything but a miracle, possibly excluding Michael Moore. Even granting this position, why not give the child up for adoption? If you cannot take care of a child, could you not at least put up with the burden for a couple months? Let’s assume we allowed children who were rape babies be aborted, then how far can you take this? What about a year old? If a mother smothered her child in its crib would we let her off because it was a rape baby?
"It's not the same thing." YES IT IS!!! That is the point. There is no line you can draw past conception where these fuzzy details can't be argued.
Life begins at conception. Simple and to the point. It makes sense. Not only does life begin there, but it is the only scientific point where life can begin. At that moment the embryo will one day grow into a baby capable of living outside of the womb. At that point it is possible for the baby to become what it was meant to be. Even excluding God from the picture you must come to this conclusion. At the point of conception the DNA is complete and has formed the basis of human life.
This fact will not stop the Now morons from attacking Sarah Palin, but at least we can conclude that their arguments are illogical. So I give a toast to you, Rosie, the Womyn of NOW and Planned Parenthood. A few million more abortions and you may beat the Nazis by a factor of ten. I have no doubt that Margaret Sanger would be proud of your accomplishments.
