Reporter Uses Logic of the Left’s Gun Control Argument to Stump Dem Rep. on Abortion

June 19, 2013 at 12:25pm

In reply to SPIN_MD.

No, the abortion argument is about convenience. There is no logic to the ‘choice’ they propose at all unless you factor in convenience. Take that out and their entire reasoning for abortion becomes a steaming pile of fecal matter.

So the abortion argument is about exposing the real truth between the sides:

One side values life and wants to give it every chance to succeed and thinks the choice lies in the act that creates life. That is perfectly rational and internally consistent as an argument.

The other side ACTUALLY thinks that life should be terminated for whatever reason the mother chooses to list because it’s her body that is inconvenienced by the new life and she gets to choose to deal with it or not. The same logic would let any child up to the accepted age of adulthood be terminated for whatever reason of inconvenience to the mom and perhaps the dad. This logic makes children property.

The same people that like the ‘choice for death’ logic also tend to call homeschoolers, religious parents, or those that wish to take responsibility for their children as people that want to dominate their children. The truth is, it is the ‘choice for death’ people that see kids as property or things to be indoctrinated. Religious kids always find their own choices, leftists generally find themselves slaves.

That’s why this woman can’t respond, she’s a slave to her system of illogic.
Here’s Why a Florida Hotel Says It Canceled the Reservation of an Anti-Common Core Group

June 19, 2013 at 11:45am

In reply to bjornskis.

Only because the Gay Communists would sue the Hotel for breech of contract based on discrimination. Because that group is protected by political correctness, it would have high odds of winning the case so the Hotel would never cancel it.

Freedomworks is not protected by Political Correctness, in fact they are being demonized by Political Correctness and thus would have NO chance of winning a discrimination lawsuit, while the group they are targeting at the other Hotel might sue their Hotel for assisting Freedomworks, so it’s not in the best interests of the other Hotel to help, thus they cancel the Freedomworks event.

See there doesn’t even have to be nefarious motive for the Hotel to do the cancelling, simple corporate survival and risk management could explain it. Now if that is the truth or not (maybe there is discrimination going on) is not really important, it’s just a symptom of our sickly society if it is true.

Overall, Freedomworks should respect the decision and get a different venue. That is because free market principles should be at play here and they should recognize the risk the Hotel is under. You can’t ding the left for their radical use of legal processes and then you turn around and do the same thing.

This isn’t an issue for the courts, just let the Hotel know you will not be using them or recommending them to be used by any of their staff or followers. That’s free market at work.
Christian Pastor Angry Over ‘Rain God’ License Plate: It Violates My Religious Liberty

June 18, 2013 at 3:47pm

In reply to thegreatcarnac.

JRook-

Starting human population is irrelevant. It’s who currently controls a location. Despite the sad history involved, the starting population is no longer in control of that land.

All-

Personally, I don’t think this Pastor is doing the Christian thing. Throughout the history of Christianity, it has had to be tolerant of other faiths. Christ himself was a Jewish Rabbi. He was tolerant of Roman Rule, he was open minded and thoughtful. For someone that calls themselves a Christian to draw a line over a matter of State (render unto Cesar what is Cesar’s) smacks of hypocrisy and thus, sin. Whatever iconography the State chooses has NO impact on me or my beliefs. It says more about what the State is trying to push. Some flags have iconography on them, will you not fly your nations flag if it does so?

The Pastor needs to let it go and worry about his flock, not the State iconography on his cars mandated license plate.

It’s there on any Netflix connection. It’s the “Just for Kids” option.
‘Free at Last’: La. State Senator Explains Why He Recently Left the ‘Government Plantation’ & Joined GOP in Powerful Video

Controversial ‘Right-to-Die’ Legislation Passes in Netherlands…for Children

June 17, 2013 at 6:08pm

In reply to Git-R-Done.

Hold on a second folks. They aren’t killing kids willy-nilly. They have to meet a certain set of terminal conditions.

It’s human nature to try and end suffering, that is a good thing. The horrible question to ask is: “Is it our right to determine when someone should die that is not guilty of anything that would merit death?” That’s a terrible moral dilemma.

If you are not religious, then this law makes perfect sense. If you are religious, you can make the decision to keep trying to keep the baby alive, it will likely still die but miracles can happen. That leaves it in Gods court. If you are not religious, it clears the way to ease the child’s suffering, and I can empathize with that. These folks also generally subscribe to euthanasia for terminally ill or other similar cases of people.

Now, where this crosses the line is when healthy people decide “Hey, I’ve had enough and wanna check out.” Then both religious and non-religious folks should see that is wrong and the person needs help.

I’m certainly not for this kind of thing, but I understand it and understand the compassion being expressed, even if I disagree with the decision. It’s similar to putting a pet to sleep that is suffering, and that is an agonizing choice as well, having made it several times in my life. I’m not equating pets and people, but the choice is similar in nature.

Understand what is being said, this is not eugenics.
‘So Many Problems in America Are Traced Directly to Immigration’: Ann Coulter Goes Off on Immigration Bill

June 17, 2013 at 3:32pm

In reply to Spqr1.

I didn’t hear any derogatory or disparaging remarks. She said put a hold on all immigration (no matter what the country it originates from) and take a breath. Let the US get its feet back under it and get ‘fixed’ before letting more tired, poor huddled masses in.

I never actually thought about that being an option, and the more I think about it, the more I like it. We have so many other problems, if you take immigration off the table, it gets a big weight unloaded for a while and you can focus on fixing the economy with a proper immigration procedure put together, not blanket immigration reform that looks like it’s just more of the same old tricks from each side and nothing permanently resolved.

She’s not being racist, she’s trying to get the nation fixed so it can continue to be the best place to come. We are at risk of swamping the boat, and looking at things, it might already be too late.
Why This Class Picture Featuring a Disabled Child Has His Mom So Upset

June 17, 2013 at 1:35pm

In reply to DDD.

Having been in similar situations, we usually put the wheelchair in the middle of everyone, a couple of folks on each side of it kneeling and everyone else in a ‘rainbow’ grouping around it, making the person in the middle the focus of the picture. They find that embarrassing sometimes but it avoids the ‘sterile’ and ‘off balance’ look of this picture.

Photography 101 folks.
‘He Is Off the Mark on This’: Blaze Readers on Allen West’s Response to Bill Cosby’s ‘Be More Like’ Muslims Suggestion

June 17, 2013 at 12:12pm

In reply to Newone.

Sorry, not everything Mr. West says is entirely accurate either. I, too, feel he took Cosby out of context.

I admire Bill Cosby for speaking up in a community that is being bullied into following, lock step, into a political ideology that is CRUSHING them. He is one of the few of that community that isn’t going quietly. Mr. West is another and I really wish he’d see a kindred spirit when he should.

Had he called Mr. Cosby for clarification before speaking, I’m sure Mr. West wouldn’t have put his foot so far into his mouth, but apparently, the foot tasted better than the phone.

I will continue to admire Bill Cosby for trying to walk a very difficult tightrope in a firestorm of critics. You go Bill.

As for being more like muslim’s, black or otherwise, not everything of their faith is bad, in fact, some of it is downright common sense, but since the righteous in their faith seem to lack the backbone to defend against the violent interpretations within their faith, it renders it a weak and backwards religion, relegated to the Dark Ages.
Boy Scout Leaders Won’t Apologize for Marching in Utah Gay-Pride Parade

June 17, 2013 at 12:02pm

In reply to Tankertony.

What’s the point of worrying about stuff like this? The damage to the BSA is already done. Even the churches that have promised ‘to work’ with the BSA are just buying time to ‘look good’ while finding a way to distance themselves from the National Organization. I guarantee you there will be another organization started that basically mimics the original charter of the scouts and has clearly defined morality rules (likely Christian based).

So, just bide your time. About the time the BSA allows fully gay leaders, you’ll see a different organization formed and starting up. The exodus will be en-masse then. Hopefully all the homosexual community folks will be able to make up the difference in the BSA funding levels when the other members bolt. If not, the Scouts will end.
