When Conley and his kind can offer the option of transferring the fetus to their own bellies, and of taking all the risks of birth and raising and deadbeat moms, then and only then they should be permitted to express an opinion on abortion.
(It might happen. I have a former law partner whose personality strongly suggests that anal intercourse in not an infallible contraceptive.)
Until that time, let's recognize the sly homilies of the fetus-worshippers for what they are: a subset of the fundamentalists' worship of human beings (most specifically themselves) as the center of the universe and the beginning and ending of time.
By the way, in all the jurisdictions I know, and I don't pretend to know all of them, Mom has no power to waive the child's right to be supported by the biological parent, and the statute of limitations doesn't begin to run on the child's right to collect until the child reaches majority.
What is a mystery is why anyone takes Pat Robertson seriously anymore.
Err,...
Maybe because his name keeps appearing even in places like Salon?
At first blush, it's a wonder that these folks ever manage to reproduce. What bedroom could be dark enough? But upon reflection, there's no one on the planet so obsessed with sex as a fundamentalist. They see it everywhere, and fear it anywhere, since it might divert cash and attention from the money-collection palaces that are our modern churches, mosques, synagogues, TV channels and web-sites.
"willful lack of ignorance"?
It's a good thing for both Republicans and Democrats that their children can't read numbers nor understand history. If they could see what the Republicans are doing, and the Democrats are letting them do, children would rise up and smother their parents in their sleep. The individual debt that Generation Debt has personally incurred is chump change compared to the national debt that their parents will leave them as an inverse birthright.
OK, you made me look. I smiled, so sue me. Shall we revisit the porn post?
Is mankind's purpose on earth to create its successor? How ironic if it turns out that Homo sapiens was the Intelligent Designer.
Just for openers, her name was Terri. If you would presume to speak for her, you should care enough to spell it correctly.
The real "Terri Schiavo" was long since dead before the medical community made her a zombie and the wingnuts made her a poster child.
Considering that her brain was not only dead but half of it was missing, the fundamentalists' sense of affinity is understandable.
I don't know, maybe there is a God. I can't prove that there's not, any more than the wingnuts can prove that there is.
I also don't know, maybe there is a Heaven. Can't prove that there's not.
One thing I know for sure. If there is a God and there is a Heaven, and God has decided that the folks at this conference are going there, then I would much rather go to Hell.
Actually, it's hard to imagine a better definition of Hell than being condemned to spend eternity in the company of people who take Tom Delay seriously.
Maybe you have to live on the East Coast to understand why anyone would care which millionaire talking head sits where.
What the Republicans discovered with Saint Ronnie is that a substantial plurality of the American electorate is as dumb as a box of rocks. What's the matter with Kansas is that a majority of the voters are stupid. Why worry about things like deficits if you can't read numbers nor newspapers?
The Democrats haven't had a leader at the national level who appealed to the Stupid Vote since "Jack," and that largely posthumously. Until they find another, we're stuck with what we deserve.
Unless Rove volunteers to drink the hemlock, his job is safe so long as Bush sits behind the decider desk. Who else knows where so many of the Bush bodies are buried?
The quote belongs to Al Lewis: "America gets the politicians they deserve. That's it. And you keep struggling."
It will take generations to undo the damage that dates back to Saint Ronnie. And we deserve it.
That UFO statistic clears up a few things. Thanks, Tim.
If these folks are right about Heaven, then I choose to go to Hell.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
The Maine fight was supposed to be the dress rehearsal for repealing California's Prop. 8 -- but gay marriage lost
Once one obtains Seriousness credentials in the Washington media, they are irrevocable no matter one's conduct.
