Koldo,
Of course the reason I made that point is because the executive office is the only major institution that can affect political change when it comes to abortion (by nominating justices to the high court). There is a reason you don't hear much about abortion in House and Senate...
Hi Storm,
I guess it's the dichotomy of seeing something disgusting like partial birth abortion (and being against it) but not holding your leaders feet to the fire on the issue. The status quo of being dogmatically pro-choice wins out personal feelings about some abortion procedures...
Hi Revolt,
I think I am. I hear a lot of Paul talking about how people wouldn't do heroin if it was legal but that it's hard to wean people off of the near bankrupt programs of Social Security and Medicare.
Hi Storm,
There was certainly a lot of enthusiasm for the candidates and I don't recall a clamor for more pro-life Democratic candidates by rank-and-file liberals in the Democratic Party.
Hi niner,
Are we being a little schizophrenic now? I follow my church's teaching on abortion, but I would allow the exception for rape/incest in abortion laws. So, I should be a theocrat now? And you're criticizing me for being more flexible and reasonable than liberal pro-choicers...
Hi Storm,
I wish this was a stunning refutation of my point but it is not. You obviously missed my point about liberals running for president (it was tough to catch, being the second sentence and all). Not one candidate running to capture the Democratic nomination came out for the ban on...
Hi Storm,
The liberal dogma is no restriction on abortion at all which even includes the truly disgusting paractice of partial birth abortion. And you don't see any liberals deviating from this dogma, at least not ones pursuing the oval office.
Hi niner,
That is the only exception; however I would allow other exceptions in cases of rape and/or incest in the case of abortion laws. Thus, being more flexible that any run-of-the-mill pro-choice liberal out there. In the 2008 presidential election when Democrats were fighting for the...
Hi Skwim,
Yes, and the interests of the union means screwing little black children out of schools that will educate them. Very progressive. And union dues are voluntary right? Actually no, in the vast majority of places it is compulsory which means as a teacher you have no choice but to fund...
Hi Draka,
Well, in a way you are right. I think logic can arrive at the conclusion that there is a God (the Kalaam Cosmological argument for starters) and in the case of Christianity, Jesus was an actual historical person and most of the events surrounding his life can be verified. But yes...
Great article
Harvard: July 4th Parades Are Right-Wing - Washington Whispers (usnews.com)
As Reagan said, "Republicans believe everyday is the 4th of July, Democrats believe everyday is April 15th."
Proving once again that pro-lifers are much more reasonable than the pro-choicers. We allow exceptions while the pro-choicers have none and then they have the temerity to call us 'dogmatic.' That's rich.
At least we're bombing Libya.
Hopefully Obama's foray into Libya puts those silly snarky 'Bush took his eye off the ball by going to Iraq' comments to bed. Libya? Really?
