Abortion: The art of killing babies.

I seen a bumper sticker the other day that sayed "If you can read this, you were not aborted, now thank your mother", and it got me to thinking about the issue...

Ya'know, Something has always got me about that. Liberals and their democratic party tend to be into supporting human causes. For the equal treatment of all races and sexes, for welfare, supporting various medical causes, and in support if baby killing. Huh? Wait a minute, back up here, you guys kill babies in your spare time? Yipes!

I know full and well it isn't that simple, but it seems pretty similar. ...

My biggest issue is partial birth abortion. In a quote from wikipedia, partial birth abortion goes like this...

The doctor subsequently extracts the fetus, usually without the aid of forceps, leaving only the head still inside the birth canal. An incision is made at the base of the skull, scissors are inserted into the incision and opened to widen the opening, and then a suction catheter is inserted into the opening. The brain is suctioned out, which causes the skull to collapse and allows the fetus to pass more easily through the birth canal

In laymens terms, the kid is yanked out, stabbed in the head, gets its brain sucked out, then trashed. Ewww!!!

Yet, people, including many libertarians, believe it is a breach of the mothers rights to make this illegal. I see it different. The fetus is a human, or human in progress at least, therefore this would be a breach of its rights to brains. Solved that.

One arguement for this abortion was so "it didn't occur illegally in underground facilities that use questionable methods". That would be like defending the legalization murder by saying "hey, at least you don't have to deal with mobsters and organized crime to get hitmen"

Still, others have told me the mother has the right to its life cause its in her body. That would be fine and dandy if the baby was killing here in some way, but the fact is its sort of the natural process, and hey, it did not get in there all in its own. She gave it permission to enter at one point.

Still, its an issue that i truthfully think everyone is right at, yes the mother has a right to her own self, but the baby has a right to itself to, and the two intrests here conflict. Figure it out.

What is Patriotism?

One thing that bugs me with having political arguements with conservatives is, when you say something that does not agree with what they believe about what the goverment is doing, they label you as "unpatriotic". Disagree with the war? Your not a patriot! Not impressed with the bush administation? You are not a patriot!

But i ask you, when did conservatives patent patriotism? What is your definition of patriotism? There is a big difference between loyalty to your country and loyalty to your goverment. I'm loyal to what this country is supposed to stand for, not who runs it. I am loyal to what the united states was formed under, liberty and freedom.

Why does one praise a flag? In the end, its really just a strip of decorated cloth, but if thats it, why don't we praise tablecloths to? Because tablecloths don't stand for anything, but flags do. The american flag doesn't stand for the goverment, it stands for freedom and liberty. If a goverment has and issue with freedom and liberty, its the one being unpatriotic.

If so, doesn't that mean supporters various bush administration supported laws that violate our freedom and privacy, such as phone tapping, are traitors? That would make alot of conservatives traitors, not patriots.

Heres to you fundamentalist conservatives, who wear patriot costumes while stabbing your country in the back.

A Fourth of July tribute.

This is for all those patriots out their, no matter what your political persusion, race, class, or background...

...the WHOLE national anthem...

(well known verse starts)
Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
(well known verse ends)

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines on the stream: 'Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion A home and a country should leave us no more? Their blood has wiped out their foul footstep's pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved homes and the war's desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust." And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Amen!

God bless america and all its people!

No Hablo Espanol!

Im not sure if i got that right... anyway

A big issue as of late is illegal immigration. In this episode, i shall demonstrate why i, infact, am right.

First of all, let me outline the problem. Apparently, mexico sucks, because people are willing to risk their lives to avoid waiting until they can be processed legally into the country, which means people come in and don't have to pay taxes, leach of social programs, ect ect ect...

So now we got the left wanting to let it go and the right wanting to kick them out.

Yet again, both sides are approaching this with the wrong attitude.

The left is wrong because, as long as we have taxes and social programs, we can not have people leaching off these programs and keeping the money from natural deserving citizens. Being nice sounds good, but being a push-over is a totally different deal.

The right is wrong because just sending them back is just...stupid. Alot of work and effort that could be handed to more pressing issues.

What should we do to then? When the goverment finds an illegal immigrant, slap a pretty fair size fine on them, then submit them to taxes (+fine=dept for sure) and tell them "welcome to america!" Works! They won't be working for less no more, seeing as they got things to pay for. Done and done! Its not racist, its naturalization! Won't be much different then the average american that way!

Only one more problem, my only big pet peeve... The language problem. One of my un-libertarian believes is in one, nation wide required language. English of course, being the natural language of the states. This is neccessary to keep order. If we all speak different languages, then the world sucks for all of us since we cannot communicate. I say english just be require period. If you can't ask in english, you don't get what you want. Learn real fast that way i assume.

But i guess we could look at the good side of this ordeal, tacos are awesome!
