Lets be clear here. Tiller was not just an abortion provider. He was a man who traveled the world to perform late term abortions. Late term means that a viable baby is offed as it enters this world. The baby has it's upper neck punctured with an instrument that is then pushed into it's brain so the Dr. can scramble it. Want to bet they do this while the baby is still in the canal so it helps smother it's screams of pain? Tiller performed more than any one else in the world, and used this as an advertisement. Why revere someone who kills babies that in another circumstance, down the hall in neonatal intensive care, is treasured beyond price?
As much as I believe that women have the right to choose, Tiller is a sorry individual for the pro abortion folk to rally around. Most rational people can see a vast difference in ending a pregnancy in the very early weeks and ending it when a baby has been kicking and growing to almost born. He flaunted his sorry trade...and another murderer got him.
Abortion is legal and it should stay that way. But must there be no discussion of something that borderlines on barbarism?
If the folks of the USA don't wake up shortly....they'll be living in the USSA.
Cheney is trying to brainwash the American people into believing that torture is a "family value". I'm relieved to see many are not buying it.
I'm sure the bible quotes were a fresh breeze under GWB's skirt. All it took was to convince him that dog had his back covered.
So...which religion is corrupted by crazy fundamentalists?????
What percentage of the population has not grown up enough to understand high school is a phase of life.....not it's definition?
Faux TV, by the time we hear of a new series it is gone because no one wants to see their drivel.
Those who have not lived think high school is the most important thing to ever happen in their lives. Only the living dead attend reunions.
Everyone else grew up.
I do so wish there was a way to only elect men and women who walked the walk.
Want to get rich the easy way? Buy a public servant.
Mental health problems show weakness and only defective folks have such issues. Why take money away from poor performing over budget nothing to show defense contractors? After all, if we care for the soldiers as they should be treated it will likely cut out the funds needed to bribe the elected reps. And right now they need every penny to defend themselves from someone (Gates) trying to bring a little reality into spending. Just wait and see how much lobbying money it will take to maintain the status quo.
It is a fact that the government takes our rights "for now" but keeps them forever.
Churchill is as phony as his "original" art. The research is just a part of his fraud. He is not qualified to do anything more than blog and certainly should not be supported by the taxpayers.
The US Constitution gives us freedom from religion, meaning that we cannot be forced to worship ANY religion.
The believers need to understand that they do not have the right to govern us.
I have been against this crappy war since day one. Each time I read another report about mentally and physically wounded soldiers being denied the care WE OWE THEM it makes me sick.
I wish there was a card to send to all the troops asking for their forgiveness and a way to make the congressional reps. serve 12 hour days every day for a month in a VA facility or private home waiting on these hero's hand and foot. If the reps. don't take care of business within 48 hours of returning to DC, they are removed from office and barred from ever serving again....stripped of their benefits.
Social contact is face to face. Needing a web site to make keep up with your friends means you have no friends. This wanna-be-a-high-schooler-again phase will pass.
Pot will be illegal until the powers can figure out how to assure their financial take of a plant anyone can grow.
If the nap is out....is afternoon delight still OK?
Is 'walking the plank' to much to ask for these war criminals?
I fail to see the reason for trying to call this tiny election as some sort of prediction of a national referendum.
Why fund science when there is a perfectly good drug war to waste money on???
Blue collar hell, white collar heaven. Follow the $$. Which paid more bribery, ur....., campaign contributions?
Is it finally time to use good old fashioned Chapter 11? These bone brains have stolen enough from us.
I liked not having any competition........
I've been saying that the USSA has steadily been rising out of the ashes of the USSR.
Isn't it illegal for someone to profit from their crimes? Bush better keep these funds in a special account so the $$$$ will be easier to locate when he hangs for war crimes.
Why do people go to an unmarried man for marital advice, and a celibate for sexual advice? It just isn't logical.
Since we have a working extradition treaty with the UK, perhaps they will convict our war criminals there. At least they may be able to distinguish the difference between "looking forward" and "sweeping the dirt under the rug".
I had to get another copy of my birth certificate a few years ago. Hard to imagine, but the state vital statistics department printed one on a laser printer rather than trying to find a 1959 vintage typewriter to use. Don't believe me....order a copy of YOUR birth certificate.
(Funny thing...I did have to chose the "deceased" option since their program would not accept a 1909 year of fathers birth with a living person.)
