The parents should be able to euthanize this person-shaped organism

This is not a human. Humans are defined by their intelligence. This is a person-shaped organism (PSO). The parents may do as they will with the PSO, including terminating the existence of the PSO.

What will happen to the PSO when the parents die? Will a lucky sibling get to take care of the PSO? Or will the state be allowed to care for the PSO until the PSO expired?

At my church

a nice man, 10 years older than I (I am 55), occasionally brings his adult child to church. The child has Down's, a moderate to severe level. I have never heard the child (who is about 35) utter a single word. The child can focus, and is well-behaved. Yet, my friend will be dead well before his child dies.

Who will care for his child after he and his wife have died? At the end of the life of this child, what purpose will the child have served in this world? While I am not a Nazi, I am a utilitarian about children with severe disabilities. I would euthanize far more of them.

Original article: Was Obama's speech enough?

Well, go f yoursefl

"We just don't buy the shtick."

Well, you can go fuck yourself, slowly. Seriously.

This is one of the stupidest, most idiotic, crappiest things I've ever heard in my life. And it reminds me how much I dislike Clinton and the whore she rode in on. The assinine bullshit involved in this decrepit stupidity makes my previous pledge to vote for the Democrat, regardless, getting harder to stick with.

I just simply HATE the politics of Guilt by Association. There are so MANY scumbags hanging onto Hillary's tits that it amazes me that she can MOVE much less talk. Here we have one guy 3 people removed from Obama, and Hillary and her parasitic synchophants have spent the last week flogging this dolphin.

Of course, it is not going to be enough. It has re-girded my loins, that's for damn sure. I will REDOUBLE me efforts to keep the witch out.

For those unsure about the role of preachers

I suggest that you look at Hosea, Isaiah, and several other prophets in the Bible. Most of those guys were POSITIVELY SCATHING about Israel and its perfidious wickedness. And they get a book in the bible to say "GOD DAMN ISRAEL".

The function of a prophetic religious leader is to CALL AMERICA to TASK, and to hold her to ANSWER. That's what Wright was doing.

What a moronic comment

"This group does not tolerate any reasonable exmination of their candidate."

Hey, dip, why don't you and the other Hillary-bots get Hillary to release her tax forms? That's what I call "reasonable". We want to know who has paid Bill the BIG MONEY, and she won't tell. Why the fuck not>?

This current witch hunt (boy, IS THAT APPROPRIATE or WHAT) has NOTHING to do with Obama. It has everything to do with witches.

The real issue about Obama's minister

Where are Clinton's tax returns? How much money did they get from pornographers, bankers, polluters, and other such snakes?

A second important issue is why are Clinton supporters such flaming assholes?

Another important issue

Why do Clinton supporters continue the lie about her experience? Hillary has 8 years in the Senate. The rest of the time, when she was not on the Wal-mart board working on the offshoring of American jobs, she was pouring tea.

So, no 35 years of experience. That's a huge lie.

A third important issue

Why is it that you cannot tell the difference between a Clinton supporter and a Republican without a scorecard? They say the same things, they are many of them racist, and, in Ohio, Texas, and many other states, they actually are Republicans.

So I guess you don't need to distinguish, because you cannot.

There's a simple reason

"The more people try to justify this insanity, the more angry I get! It is wrong! Wrong is wrong, period!"

And stupid is stupid.

You are a stupid person. Barack Obama is not his pastor. His pastor is not him. Barack cannot control his pastor. His pastor does not check with Barack about his sermons. All of this is obvious to person who are not stupid, which would exclude you.

Words said in the pulpit are said for many reasons: provocation, deliberate mistatement, etc.

Stupid people have trouble with this fact, or any fact.

Religious leaders are REQUIRED by the truth to CONFRONT the governemt. But stupid people don't understand this.

Those confused by Wright's statements should read the bible. The old Testament is filled with books by the prophets. These were a bunch of old goats who confronted Israel, and told her of her wrongs. In turn, they were thrown in jail and killed.

Why is it that the Clinton side is filled with stupid people?

For many of us

Hillary's vote to help George with his little war is just one problem.

Where are her tax returns? Why won't she reveal them? Who do they owe? What has Bill done? How many scummy little shits have given him billions?

Where are Hillary's taxes?

Texas Democrat

You're a hateful, despicable person, and are so typical of the little bitchy types surrounding Hillary. You and your legion of hateful nasty sisters have driven millions away from Hillary by your insane ranting. You have clearly become unhinged by Barack, and I pity you. Not enough to respect you, since there is nothing in your posts but bile, and frustration.

When Barack confirms his nomination, I hope that you do not explode.

Good luck. Take a sedative.

Really? Really???

"Obama for all of the horrible things he has said about the Clinton's even though he continues to do so!"

Exactly what has he said? Please cite exactly his words, and provide a link so that we can check. You being who you are and a Clinton supporter, you will try to lie.

So, EXACTLY what has Barack said? And WHERE WITH A LINK.

If you can't do that, you are just another stupid Clinton moron.
