• Laura Ingraham Confronts ‘Grandfather’ Who Paid for His Daughter’s Abortion

  This is definitely where humans and animals differ, and yes, it is a case of free will. Animal mothers don’t kill their young unless they are in extremis. Humans do it for convenience. So, yes it is choice, but it is selfish and evil.

  Hughes Syndrome… she obviously had some drooping of the left side of her mouth in addition to the gibberish speach. She needs to be thoroughly checked out with MRI. This is treatable.

• Why Did ‘Beck For President’ Sign Appear in Superbowl PSA?

  On the other side of the coin what better way to assuage conflicting emotions around the issue of food reform that conservatives feel than to link the positive feelings for Glenn Beck with it. I think the ad was brilliant in this regard. Personally, I really liked the ad, but had a hard time focusing on what the actual message was. I had to go back and really think it through before I realized how much my emotions had been hijacked by my personal good feelings for Glenn. This isn’t about Glenn. It is about taking away your rights as a parent to decide what your children will eat. Be wary!

  I’ve been thinking about this all morning, about the subliminal aspects of this ad combined with the ‘overt’ message. One thing that is always true in advertising is that anxiety and fear sells. Create feelings of fear and anxiety and contrast give the solution, the overt message as the panacea for those negative emotions. Liberals are insane about the popularity of Glenn Beck, and anxious and fearful of Beck followers. What better way to solidly cement the ‘need’ for food reform for our children than to contrast it with the anxiety and fear felt by the possibility of Beck for President?

  It is funny, here in this state many of the adults are liberal, yet many of their school children are Glenn Beck fans. It infuriates their parents (and teachers)to no end as you can probably imagine. I wonder how much of that has to do with the whole campaign to take cake and such away from them. Whatever, the kids love Beck here.

  Nothing in advertising is accidental. This flashed by so fast I’m amazed anyone caught it. It ran by so fast it had to be part of a subliminal plant, but what is the message? I don’t know, but I‘d like to hear the experts’ views on it.

• Tampa Mother Says She Killed Her Teen Kids for Being ‘Mouthy’

  So sad. My guess is this is some sort of impulse control disorder. Most of us today are guilty of failing to control our actions and blaming it on other or on society. But in reality we have two minds, the executive frontal lobes, and our limbic system is emotional and reacts without thinking. If we don’t train ourselves to stop and think before we do this can be the outcome… and this is the end result of needing instant gratification all the time. It takes work to be a thinking moral person. It is easy to not think, react, and lash out. She just happened to have a gun handy.

  But here’s the thing. You have to be brave enough to look at your own dysfunctional stuff before you can begin thinking about it and controlling it. It is hard, hard work and not filled with the promise of any gratification much less instant gratification.

  What did Glenn say? “The truth will set you free. But it will make you miserable first.” Truth is freedom from this kind of insanity. But it isn’t easy.

• Beck Responds to NY Times Article: ‘Hatchet Job’

  Isn’t it ironic how these belligerent, leftist revolutionaries, who are actually calling for violence in the streets, respond with whining when the shoe is on the other foot and they have a little of that karma come home to roost on their own doorstep?

  So, Fracis Fox Piven is feeling a little vulnerable?

  Let you call for PEACEFUL dialog and those feelings of vulnerability will cease, Madam! Until then, sow what you reap and expect no pity from me.
