The Informed Conservative-- Pro-abortion writer on death of children: "So what?"
Amid
the ongoing gun control debate, leftists universally want Americans to
believe their only concern is the well-being and safety of our
children.Despite the obvious fallacy of their argument, one can appreciate that at least some actually believe gun-grabbing legislation is a step toward protecting the next generation.
"If it saves only one life," Joe Biden infamously opined, "it makes sense."
While holding that position when the issue is guns, leftists are quick to sing another tune when the topic changes to a tool used to kill countless more children than guns ever could – abortion.
In an utterly despicable article by pro-abortion activist Mary Elizabeth Williams, the callousness with which leftists treat child murder is on full display.
Williams is one of the few pro-choicers who readily admit a fetus is a human life, though she doesn't seem to see a big deal in ending that life before it has a chance to escape the womb.
"So what if abortion ends life?" she asks, admitting she "never wavered for a moment in the belief I was carrying a human life inside of me" during prior pregnancies, though "that doesn't make me one iota less solidly pro-choice."
Despite sharing the belief that unborn children constitute human life, she contends conservatives who use that argument against abortion are engaging in "sneaky, dirty tricks."
Williams seems to feel despite her own opinion – or perhaps because of it – certain lives deserve to be extinguished to benefit certain other lives.
"All life is not equal," she argues, explaining pregnant women responsible for their condition should enjoy more rights than the innocent children they carry.
She goes on to describe women as the "boss" in relation to their offspring and encouraged her fellow leftists to avoid the "semantic lines in the sand" associated with arguments over when a fetus becomes a human life.
That argument is unimportant, she argues, because in certain situations an unborn baby is simply "a life worth sacrificing."
Anyone – especially a mother – who considers a child's death acceptable is engaging in a line of reasoning I cannot even fathom.
Millions upon millions of nameless Americans have had their lives legally snuffed out in the more than 40 years since the case of Roe V. Wade was decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.
As predicted, Williams' column shows the inevitable effect of such decisions as a significant portion of this nation's citizens have absolutely no respect whatsoever for the sanctity of life.
An environment of selfishness and utter disregard for others, not guns or any other tool targeted by the left, are responsible for the culture of violence and death in which we currently live.

Stan Musial died Saturday.
Youngsters might not recognize the name although their spell
checkers will. Musial never dated movie
stars, he wasn’t known for fights with the press, brawls in bars, or bad
behavior of any time. He was married for
72 years to the same woman who died last May and was never known to mistreat
anyone expect opposing pitchers whose offering he deposited all over the field
or over the fence from 1940 till 1962.
Musial won 3 MVP and was runner up 4 times. Think of that a second, for one third of his
career it was the consensus that he was the best or second best at what he did
in the league.
That’s simply incredible.
There have been many tributes to Stan Musial over the last
few days, but I think the greatest tribute to him was paid last year by Albert
Pujois.
When he was signed by the Angels they put up promotional
signs referring to him as El Hombre.
Given his numbers in 11 years he averaged 40 HR & 121 RBI a season
while hitting .328. certainly number that would justify being called “El
Hombre”, “The Man” but he would have none of it.
"I still have the
same respect for him as I had, not just for what he's done in baseball but for
what he did for his country. That's something you have to appreciate."
That really says it all doesn’t it? BTW
the Angels took down the billboards.
Best description of Stan Musial I ever read came from Bill
James when declaring him the best left fielder of all time over Ted Williams :
...if I had to choose between the two of them, I’d take Musial in left
field, Musial on the basepaths, Musial in the clubhouse and Williams only with
the wood in his hand. And Stan Musial
could hit a little, too.
Someone not thinking of death these days is Andrew
Cuomo. His latest abortion proposals
bid to secure the Democrat left for 2016 are so extreme it produced this
exchange between Elizabeth (The Anchoress) and
her husband:
“he wants to be president. He is
pandering to Planned Parenthood and Emily’s List because there is gold in them
thar purses.”My husband was appalled to ponder it: “a lot more than 30 pieces of silver,” he said, and it’s not going to get him to heaven.”
“Yeah, well, he’s not seeking heaven, just now,” I shrugged. “He’s seeking the White House, and power.”
Nobody is promised tomorrow, Andrew Cuomo might consider
that, if he actually believed. But
I don’t’ think he does.
I have given no
pixels at all to Steubenville OH Rape case that has the left and the occupods
in an uproar. Lee Stranahan has and can
tell you Everything
you know about the case is wrong:
Among the widely reported and false
claims:
- Steubenville is so corrupt that no justice is possible.
- There has been a massive cover-up in the case.
- The victim was drugged, put in a car trunk to bring her to a series of parties, urinated on, and left for dead in a field.
- That there a number of witnesses to the assaults who have not come forward.
- The school’s football coaches were involved in the night’s activities.
- That football players were given easy or preferential treatment in this case.
- No media was covering the case except for one blogger until Anonymous got involved.
- That no justice would happen in this case were it not for the intervention of Anonymous.
- The infamous video of Michael Nodianos joking has nothing to do with the legal case.
To reiterate, those claims are rumors that are unsupported
by evidence and yet if you click on any link to a story about the case,
you’ll find any number of in whichever story you read.
Lee positively owns this
story and that ownership is making a lot of people angry, must mess with the
approved narrative don’t you know .
The Atlanta Falcons Tony Gonzalez moved one step closer to
being the Ernie Banks of Football. A well-loved Hall of Fame player who never
made it to the big game.It’s quite possible Goonzalez is the best Tight End to
ever play the game but he has some interesting opinions concerning marriage, (via
Wikipedia)
Gonzalez had a
commitment ceremony in July 2007 with his girlfriend, October, and considers
himself married.
Considers himself married?
Really? Well why not? If we can redefine marriage one way why
shouldn’t we redefine it any way anybody wants it to be? After all it’s not like marriage is anything
important.
And if you object you are a
racist, bigot sexist homophobe.
People are laughing at this story about a guy at Verizon who
outsourced his own job for a 1/5 of the price and pocketed the difference that
he was
being paid.
Two thoughts: If
Verizon was satisfied with the work and the price they were paying for it, what
do they have to complain about?
And frankly how is this any
different than a contractor hiring a subcontractor to do a job?
Chip Jones at Conservative Report Online has a hell of a
question concerning
Benghazi:
You see, the Kalashnikov rifle chambers a 7.62 mm round. The
US M-4 rifle chambers a 5.56 mm round. What is widely reported and accepted is
that at least two of the TDY Green Berets who were assigned by the CIA as
ARSO’s (assistant regional safety officers) were badly wounded and were treated
for multiple gunshot wounds after they rescued over 20 civilian CIA workers
from the compound.
The single question that needs to be asked is: “Were the
rounds taken out of the wounded ARSO’s 7.62 mm or 5.56 mm?” And when
the answer comes back “5.56 mm”, it opens the door to the proof that the cover
up was meant to hide the fact that the Obama administration had been caught
once again arming offshore groups that did not have the interests of our
country at heart. It would open the door to proof that Benghazi was “Fast and
Furious on Steroids.”
Considering the MSM’s lack of
interest in Fast and Furious it’s going to take an awful lot of steroids to get
the MSM’s attention
Covered a GOP forum on Monday with two of the candidates for
GOP Chair
Kirsten Hughes
and Rick Green.
I think these two candidates
perfectly encapsulate the question the GOP faces nationally.
If you are a bit sleepy this from NiceDeb
will wake you up:
Dr. Jim Garrow, a renowned author and humanitarian, made the shocking claim
on his Facebook page, yesterday.
I have just been informed by a former senior military leader
that Obama is using a new “litmus test” in determining who will stay and who
must go in his military leaders. Get ready to explode folks. “The new litmus
test of leadership in the military is if they will fire on US citizens
or not.” Those who will not are being removed.
Garrow noted in the comments that “the man who told me
this is one of America’s foremost military heroes,” prompting this relpy from
one of his followers, “if this man is truly a military hero, he had better not
be keeping this a secret. Military hero’s
(sic) do what’s right, not what’s comfortable for themselves.”
Garrow responded, “have folks forgotten that the word is now
out. I believe that the gentleman has done what he should and allowed all of us
to sound the alarm.
If this is the slightest bit true it will be very
interesting to see the reaction in the ranks.
Jack Mitchel’s book Fireside Chat is becoming more
and more relevant
---------------------------------
A bit of a cultural thing, when I wanted that Bill James
quote from the start of this piece I didn’t search the net. I remembered reading it and ran upstairs
grabbed the book I saw it in, leafed through it until I found it. I tend to do that an awful lot when
writing. In this internet age/kindle age
it must seem a quaint and amusing thing to do.
I’m sure some of the younger set must laugh at it. Let them.
I’ll take the printed word over the pixel every time. With the printed word I can say with 100%
certainty that what it says on the page today will be the same thing it says on
it tomorrow.
You know you are old when you find yourself using the words
“the younger set” in a sentence.

Under the Fedora: Saints and sinners
On Morning Joe Monday I was treated to yet another day of
people praising members of the GOP who are willing to attack the party and
being told how far to the right Republicans have gone.
Somehow they never note how far left democrats now are. Katrina vandenHeuvel would never have been
considered a mainline guest on a show just a decade ago, now she is on
regularly. You never saw people citing
the Nation or Mother Jones, now they are treated as mainstream left.
And what ever happened to the DLC that Joe cited when he
brought up Bill Clinton? Gone with the
wind.
You would think by now I’d be
used to this, I hope to God I never am.
Speaking of our 42nd president Bill Clinton has
been picked as Father of the Year. Less than 15 years ago that would have been a
one liner in a SNL sketch, now it’s reality.
I wonder, has there ever been a father of the year whose reputation is
such that no mother would trust her daughter with him?
As the 10th doctor once said:“The World is very
strange.”
If, like me, you are a Doctor Who fan you will want to keep
an eye on BBC America. For the 50th
anniversary of the show they will broadcast a special on each of the 11 doctors
followed by an episode of Doctor Who from that era. They will be starting with William Hartnell,
the 1st Doctor (or as he was called then: The Doctor). I think today he is often forgotten but if he
doesn’t pull it off, the Doctor with no background, no real history and the
total lack of special effects there is no show today.
Last week’s DaTechGuy on DaRadioreally caught
a lot of people off guard.
Our first guest was Dr. Paul Byrne, he talked about the
difference between so called “brain death” and “true death” stating that we are
literally cutting brain injured people open alive for their organs for profit.
The reaction from people to his show has been shock. They have never been told the other side of
this story and that it’s coming from somebody who is one of the pioneers of
neonatal care and a former head of the Catholic Medical association makes it
even harder to take.
In our second hour we had Mike Hummell a member of the
Hostess Bakers union who rejected the contract offer that led to the closing of
Hostess. He presented a case for
rejecting the union contract that seemed pretty reasonable to me.
What really surprised him though was his treatment, he wrote
to me afterwards that he expected to be “ambush” interview and had his defenses
up for a sneak attack that never came.
I think it’s pretty sad that we’ve reach a point where
people expect to be insulted or mistreated in a discussion.
Our treatment of him won some praise at the Daily Kos
site. I’ve got to say I certainly never
thought I’d be typing that, then again I suspect Mike didn’t expect to be
saying it either.
---------------------------------------------------
A group of British Bishops talking about Gay Marriage said
bluntly that it is going to lead to a new era of Catholic
persecution on the island as the Catholic Church. If anyone in England doubts this, see how
many children the Catholic Church places for adoption in Massachusetts these
days.
People forget that England has a long history of anti-Catholicism
dating back to the church’s unwillingness to allow Henry VIII to discard wives
at will. In some ways Catholics are
still 2nd class citizens in the UK.
It is no coincidence that Tony Blair didn’t convert until he was out of
office. The Catholic Church’s ,
The age of easy Christianity for the west is about to
end. We are going to be pushed by the
secular left, the anti-Catholic right and radical Islam. Keeping the faith is going to come with
costs. Outside of the western world it
the costs can be fatal. It’s going to be
really bad for my sons.
People say it’s not fair, but then I remember this biblical
passage:
“If the world hates
you, realize that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, the world
would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, and I have
chosen you out of the world, the world hates you. Remember the word I spoke to
you, ‘No slave is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will
also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. And they
will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know
the one who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no
sin; but as it is they have no excuse for their sin. Whoever hates me also
hates my Father. John 15:18-23
And I remember that no matter how unfair it might be, if you
are a Christian in general or a Catholic in particular, you would know it’s
part of the job description.
It’s still on Guns all the time on MSNBC and Morning
Joe. It’s a great distraction from the
economy. On Wednesday they were really
upset at this NRA ad
I understand why they are so
pissed:
The Democrats won an
election by pushing the class warfare line, the 1% line, the idea that Mitt
Romney was an elite that didn't care about you and your families. It was a sell that worked with low
information voters.
Now you have the same
message being played by the NRA to the same voters. It's the class warfare argument, the 1%, the
argument that the President and the rich Washington elites don't care about
your families as long as their own kids are safe.
The left hates this argument;
they just used it and know it works.
The most interesting argument I’ve heard on the subject
comes from
Ann Althouse:
It occurred to me,
after the Sandy Hook murders, that blaming guns is a secular substitute for
blaming the devil. People find it too challenging to figure out why a human
being would do this terrible thing and they latch on to the idea that the gun made it happen.
The post starts with the question: Don’t I have the right to die? I think that’s one of the most stupid
question ever, you have a destiny to die, it’s just a question of when.
A big fuss was made about Jodie Foster’s “coming out speech”
for myself the thing that struck me was that she is my age and has been working
in the business since she was 43. I have
a vivid memory of her in the last season of Daniel Boone as the a ragamuffin
girl taken in by Jimmy Dean’s Josh Character.
If the series had lasted another year she might have become a regular on
the show. She was pretty good even back
then.
Hollywood is a nasty environment and a lot of people
particularly as the standards of “acceptable” behavior moved closer to the
behavior that many in the entertainment industry indulged with relish outside
of the eyes of the public paid the price for living in it.
That Jodie Foster has managed to be anything resembling sane
with a lifetime of such an environment is an achievement greater than any
accolade that the film industry can give her for her work.
That people decide to give additional credence to people
from this environment never ceases to amaze me
Finally Football. I’m
a baseball guy but the footballs playoffs have been very exciting. The Seattle Atlanta game was incredible,
although the pats make it look easy it was still a great game and Baltimore vs
Denver was classic, (Baltimore scares me more than any other team) but the
greatest Irony is in Denver.
Last year Tim Tebow led Denver to their division title and a
playoff win before losing in the 2nd round. One year and 11 million dollars later Payton
Manning got Denver a 1st round bye, but didn’t get the Broncos any
farther than Tebow did. Meanwhile the
Jets who absolutely refused to start Tebow even as Sanchez tanked and the 3rd
string QB when down managed to go 6-10.
I’m a pats fan so Payton Manning and the Jets are both
rivals so I naturally don’t mind them going down but I’d be a liar if I said
that the treatment of Tebow by the Jets and Denver didn’t make both of those
results sweeter.
I’ll put it on my confession list for this month…

Dead Citizen's rights Society: An Open Letter From the Dead to the Living

My fellow Americans, I write this letter to you today to dispel delusional ideas that run rampant among you. Chief among these is the idea that you possess actual Liberty in any form. You do not. The United States government is more like that of George III of England than anything the founders of this nation envisioned.

My fellow Americans, I write this letter to you today to dispel delusional ideas that run rampant among you. Chief among these is the idea that you possess actual Liberty in any form. You do not. The United States government is more like that of George III of England than anything the founders of this nation envisioned.
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson,
George Mason and Thomas Paine spend their days in a small room playing
Whist, disgusted with the burgeoning behemoth that the federal
government has become with it’s Byzantine structure and octopus-like
tentacles everywhere. Hell, even Abe Lincoln and Jeff Davis spend their days fishing (while James Buchanan
and his wife Bill King bait the hooks and spread the picnic lunch) out
of utter disgust for the direction America has taken. FDR just laughs
and says “You thought I was bad with my social programs!”.
Secondly, the idea you will ever get rid
of the current occupant of 1600. He has completely suborned the
government to rule by executive fiat instead of governance by
legislation. You are no longer citizens, you are subjects. The nation is
not governed by Congress as intended but is ruled by the President, as
much a monarch as was Henry VIII or George III. Even that
half-progressive shrub George W. Bush went to war in Afghanistan and
Iraq with the approval of Congress, unlike His Majesty Obama who is
engaged in covert wars all throughout the Middle East and North Africa without so much as a by-your-leave to Congress.
We dead cannot see the future but we CAN see the entirety of the past and the mistakes there.
