• Obama Attacks Fox; Find Out Which Host Fired Back Here

  January 28, 2013 at 3:31pm

  In reply to dadsrootbeer.

  Obama didn’t say anything about Fox addressing his policies. He is the president, and accepts that they will come after him.

  Read carefully. He specifically said he would try to seek bipartisan compromise solutions to various issues, but that Fox, Rush, etc are noted for holding a fire under REPUBLICANS that reach out and work with him; calling them RINO’s etc. If we require 100% intellectual purity and no-compromise out of our representatives on any and all votes; then we can hardly say in the next breath that Obama, Reid, etc went off on their own and passed laws without compromise.

  If we label anyone a RINO who gives even a millimeter, then from a Democrat’s viewpoint there is no “compromising” with us, only capitulation. If Rush, Fox, etc hold our side to a 100% intellectual purity litmus tests, then that is where we will continue to be.

  We already received a minority of votes overall in the house in 2012. If that margin shrinks, or independents grow to view us as a “our way or the highway” party, we will be America’s next Whig party. We must open our tent to new positions, or we will end up folding it up and going home.

• Meet ‘Mary Doe’ — the Woman Who Claims She Never Wanted an Abortion in the Roe v. Wade Companion Case That Helped Make It Legal

  In reply to wrightbobo.

  Deborah: That is just baloney. Wrightbobo is plainly saying that the negative result (abortion) occurs from negative behavior (promiscuity, criminality) and that our parents and churches have had millennia to address these negative behaviors.

  “Consequentialism” would imply that Wrightbobo is implying promiscuity and rape is “ok”, as long as everybody uses a condom. Where do you read that in his comment??? You certainly sound authoritative; don’t look behind the curtain.

  Utilitarianism refers to “the standard of right and wrong … the chain of causes and effect”. God gave us those 10 commandments (very christian) which told us things not to do (covet, steal, kill). Unintended pregnancy, an incestuous or unmarried father, directly ties back to Moses and those stone tablets.

  Also, Ethicists, like many liberals, don’t consider “evil” or “Satan” some state within your soul or spirit, but instead hold the person responsible for their thoughts and actions. You cannot tell an atheist “the devil made me do it” and expect leniency. If a person has a random evil inappropriate thought, and chooses to act on it, then they suffered from nothing more ethereal than a lack of self-discipline, and need to make restitution whether that is a speeding ticket, formal apology, or the electric chair.

  This is exactly why in America we are each responsible for our own choices. Pro-Choice. Pro-Liberty. Anti-Tyranny. Nobody would ever demand that Cano or McCovey be forced to terminate their pregnancies, or to carry them on if it was going to affect their health, or their lives. A woman is not a living incubator and we as a country have no right to insist that she not be able to remove fetal cells from her body. If the state has a claim on them, let us incubate them and bring them to term. Let us find surrogates for all of the frozen fertilized eggs at fertility clinics.

  I disagree entirely with abortion. I would never encourage someone to choose it. Adoption is the obvious best option in almost all situations. But it is not my place to tell another woman what choice to make with cells residing within her womb in keeping with her own conscience and religion. I certainly hope and encourage her to choose adoption.

• Is This What Made Sandy Hook Elementary Shooter Adam Lanza Snap?

  December 18, 2012 at 7:33pm

  @Patrick: VERY well said.

  While I personally support administrative controls and feel that regulation is not confiscation, I also believe in that adage that “you cannot fix stupid”. Nothing will ever compensate for a parent leaving firearms unlocked, accessible in a house where a fellow resident is fully suspected of mental illness.

  In reply to ShamanWorld.

  The reports that the mother was a teacher were made very early. That is the danger of fast, unverified, information. Now with some time to research, I am sure it was misunderstanding the information that she had homeschooled her son for several years; a reporter hearing “taught” and reporting “teacher”.

  I do not suspect any deep dark conspiracy, just the typical stupidity of competing 24/7 news channels rushing unverified statements to be “first to the air”.

• ‘Everybody Was Hit More Than Once’: Medical Examiner Gives Chilling Account of CT School Deaths

  December 16, 2012 at 12:32am

  In reply to progressiveslayer.

  @CATB: We see the pattern here … where good people are disarmed the bad take full advantage.

  While I support the second amendment, I’m not sure how many kindergarteners should have CWPs. Should their teachers and principal really have unloaded arms locked in their coat closet and a box of clips locked in a desk drawer? The gym teacher? The custodian? I’m having trouble buying into that.

  Nor do I know that every K-3, K-5, or K-6 in America should have an armed policeman, armed private security man, or even a open or concealed carry parent or janitor on campus at all times.

  While each school shooting was a tragedy, think of how many schools exist in America (public and private), how many days in a year they are active and, in that sense, the absolute miniscule number of times these tragedies happen.

  Yes, every time is a tragedy, but rolling out millions of easily accessible quickly loaded sidearms into active bustling elementary schools does not seem like a terribly good idea.

  In reply to Kenneth.

  Thank-you Kenneth. America is cursed by 24 hr news channels; first one, then two, now several with different intended biases. We have reporters chasing people down the street sometimes before an event, like this one, is barely finished.

  I once flew into a city after a plane crash. Another during a high-profile court trial. There was an entire city street blocked off with news satellite upload trucks side by side up and down both sides of the street each with a crew and a reporter trying to find some new angle on the exact same information, that was barely trickling out in dribs and drabs once every few hours.

  It is insanity of the electronic age.

  In reply to bava.

  There is a difference between common sense controls and confiscation.

  Both Mississippi and Michigan have now created so many administrative hurdles limiting abortion that women, just like criminals wanting handguns, will go outside the law and have them anyway, using unsafe and dangerous means. Each one will Never voter “R” again.

  Why do streamlined gun permitting processes get equated to confiscation, yet the absolute shutdown of this very personal, private and traumatic procedure is considered a logical way to end its occurrence. This concept makes no sense for guns, but it is our party platform for eliminating abortions? Outlawing alcohol and prostitution gave us the mob. Outlawing recreational drugs gave us the Cali cartels, the CIA/contra middlemen, and now the Zeta monsters on our very border.

  We have procedures to get drivers licenses, voter-ids, barber & beautician licenses. Why can’t we review and improve the process of legally purchasing a handgun? This is anything but confiscation. But if we piss off that big middle group of independent voters, as we just learned with losing the national vote for Romney/Ryan, the vast majority of senate seats, and the national summary vote for the house, moderates will abandon us and strike a militant opinion.

  Don’t worry about liberals, as they don’t worry about us. It is the huge sea of independents that, everyday, we must convince we are share their common-sense values, not outlier litmus tests.

  In reply to taintso.

  Its still pretty early in the investigation. Let us all (including the cursed 24 hr news channels) let the police do their work. We will have a one hour 3d computer graphic analysis on one of the science cable channels probably within 6-12 months.

  In reply to Wiseone63.

  It is sad to try to politicize this tragedy at a national level. Is your God, like the God of Islam, so jealous that he would plot, plan, or allow two dozen wonderful souls to be shot in cold blood because prayer and bible verse are read in 99.9% of America? My God does not act that way, any more than I would act that way to my children.
