Re: Obama XI: Turn And Face The Strange
Yeah, but once again what does that have to do with what is being discussed. The man said Liberals would never have 5 kids one with down syndrome...not that women wouldnt or dont but that LIBERALS wouldnt...ya see the difference between your statement and his? He is making broad sweeping generalizations about one half of the political spectrum whereas you arent. Now maybe I missed something growing up in a liberal state coming from a liberal family with friends who tend to be liberal but I am pretty sure this jerkoff is full of crap...unless the mentally challenged people I see out there are all the children of conservatives. (which would lend credence to some things Rover says
)
Ya see the man was trying to make Palin sound like a hero and rip to shreds Liberals because they want to kill all the retarded children. That is what he is saying even though he has no evidence to back it up. I dont know what you call that, but we call that talking out of your *** and lying. That is not what the media is supposed to do.
To me it felt like people were arguing over abortion based on political party membership. I'm no pro-lifer and recognize that if something is a law then until it is changed, if ever, then that is the law. But reducing the subject to which politicall party would try to make more hay out of the 5 kids/Downes comment is an example, again to me, of how politics becomes the issue, not the actual law, tax, policy etc.
Excluding rape, incest, risk to the mother etc. (which are not the majority of the cases but are always mentioned so we can all rationalize the decision) we're talking about people choosing to terminate a life. If we're going to charge someone with two counts of murder for killing a pregnant woman then the law has recognized that it is a life.
So, people are killing other human beings...that is a fact. Aside from the reasons above, what is the next reason for killing the person...convenience?, finances? There is a federal safety net to provide services, along with adoption, so I don't put much stock in the 'it would be cruel to bring another infant into the world' rationalization either. It is legal according to the law.
I find it ironic that one political party would spend more time, effort, money etc. trying to protect death row inmates, who themselves killed 1 or more people than they would trying to protect unborn people.
You and others will ignore what I just typed to pronounce me a republican and bring up a bunch of things republicans do that are also ironic/hypocritical vs. spending one second thinking that perhaps it is possible to support ideas on both sides of the aisle.
So, if somebody made a joke on TV, or maybe just a mistake, that was offensive to black citizens, they would be fired. But, it is fair game to make jokes about abortion, and use it as a political weapon. Again, to me it is ironic that 'the party' that would be first to cry for the offender's head in the racial comment, is the 'the party' that defends the person making the abortion joke.
It is the law...but it isn't a joking matter in my opinion.
