Florida legislators considering a bill to require abortionists to provide medical care to an infant who survives an abortion were shocked during a committee hearing this week when a Planned Parenthood official endorsed a right to post-birth abortion.
Alisa LaPolt Snow, the lobbyist representing the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, testified that her organization believes the decision to kill an infant who survives a failed abortion should be left up to the woman seeking an abortion and her abortion doctor.
“So, um, it is just really hard for me to even ask you this question because I’m almost in disbelief,” said Rep. Jim Boyd. “If a baby is born on a table as a result of a botched abortion, what would Planned Parenthood want to have happen to that child that is struggling for life?”
“We believe that any decision that’s made should be left up to the woman, her family, and the physician,” said Planned Parenthood lobbyist Snow.
Rep. Daniel Davis then asked Snow, “What happens in a situation where a baby is alive, breathing on a table, moving. What do your physicians do at that point?”
“I do not have that information,” Snow replied. “I am not a physician, I am not an abortion provider. So I do not have that information.”
It’s that stuff right there that turns my stomach. Partial-birth abortion is basically legalized homicide of a living, breathing baby, as is regular abortion. Which is why I maintain that life begins at conception and should be protected. This here is one of the issues that I never could get in board with, when it came to the Democratic Party; this and homosexuality.
I try not to get preachy about this subject, as I just do not believe that it is the federal Government’s role to dictate social matters. However, when you get right down to it; abortion is just a ghastly, awful thing to do to another human being; hence my sickness of this subject. I did not even watch the video. Just looking at the text, made my stomach roll. 🙁
I guess that is why I do not vote Democrat any longer, as they actually advocate for this sort of butchery. The very fact that I have to write to defend federalism, in this sort of matter; grieves my soul, because of the moral decadence in this Country. We have gotten that bad, that we actually want to be able to and in some cases are, sucking the brains out of a living breathing, human baby. All in the name of progress, and that my friends is a sickening thing that angers me greatly. 😡
Yep, that’s right, I called him that and I am quite proud of it!
Joseph Mitchell, a Democrat. A disgrace to what Martin Luther King Jr. AKA Michael King Jr. stood for and his race.
A black member of the Alabama legislature uncorked a racist tirade in an email this week to a constituent who urged him not to embrace new gun control laws – copying his incendiary language to every member of the state legislature.
Joseph Mitchell, a Democrat who has represented parts of the city of Mobile since 1994 and ran for re-election unopposed in 2010 and 2006, castigated a voter named Eddie Maxwell, a Jefferson County man whom he correctly presumed was white.
‘Hey man,’ Mitchell wrote. ‘Your folk never used all this sheit [sic] to protect my folk from your slave-holding, murdering, adulterous, baby-raping, incestuous, snaggle-toothed, backward-a**ed, inbreed [sic], imported criminal-minded kin folk.’
Yeah, he can call us all that, but when I call him what he is; that being an asshole nigger, I get called a racist bigot. Now for those who do not like it that I called him this; I say this right here —- There is a grand canyon’s worth of difference between an educated black man, who is not all hung up on race, like this coon here and an asshole who harbors this sort of hate towards white people. The last time I checked, not I or any other white man alive today, are responsible for the lynchings and the slavery that happened in this Country many, many years ago.
Furthermore, it is an inconvenient truth to many people, possibly including this knuckle-dragger; that ALL of the blacks that were imported to the United States as slaves were not just your regular person in Africa, they were CRIMINALS and bad criminals at that! They were people in prison for long or life sentences for murder, rape and all sorts of other crimes in Africa. It is a LIE and rewriting of history to say that they were all innocent, because they were not!
Again, I do not hate blacks, except ones who go around talking this sort of shit, this many years after slavery was abolished and a civil war, which was fought against MY ancestors; was fought to make it stick — and this many years after the 1964 civil rights act. I mean, they are free to live, work and play everywhere. What the hell else do they damned want?
As far as I am concerned, this idiot and his people can go screw themselves; especially seeing how those people and their Latino friends killed my damned cousin in 1994.
Update: I really should not have to explain this to anyone, but because some idiot came by here and left me a lecture about racial name calling; I will quote myself. Remember when I said this here?:
UPDATE: Before anyone goes, “Hey! What about this here?!” I will simply say this here: Most of the time, I respect people’s race, color and creed. John Yoo is a notable exception to that rule. John Yoo was responsible for one of the worst war-related debacles ever. He gets no respect from this White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. May he burn in the devil’s living and eternal hell. He belongs in South Korea or preferably in North Korea with the rest of the communists.
Same goes for this piece of crap here. I quote this, because nobody reads my blog continuously; they just drive by, quite a bit. So, there you go. Racial respect is given around here, to those who earn it. I respect no one, who uses those sort of terms about white people, ever.
The World’s Greatest Christian Coward – Mike Huckabee
“And it’s not because there’s an anti-homosexual mood, and nobody’s homophobic that I know of,” he continued, “but many of us, and I consider myself included, base our standards not on the latest Washington Post poll, but on an objective standard, not a subjective standard.”…
“If we have subjective standards, that means that we’re willing to move our standards based on the prevailing whims of culture,” he said. “I think politicians have an obligation to be thermostats, not just thermometers. They’re not simply to reflect the temperature of the room, or the culture, as it were. They’re to set the standards for law, for what’s right, for what’s wrong, understanding that not everybody’s going to agree with it, not everybody’s going to accept it.”
You see, this is where I have always had my conflicts with the religious right. The idea that some religious group of some sort controlling the Republican Party burns my boots. I believe that no particular religious group should have no control of any of the two major political parties. Either respect them all, or respect none of them.
This is also where my Christian beliefs and Political positions differ. I happen to believe that America is not a “Christian Nation” Per se. What I am saying is this: Many on the Christian Right, happen to believe that America is a Christian Republic. This is not so. We are a Constitutional Republic, or at least we were founded as one. The United States of America was created as a Nation that respects ALL religions, races, colors and creeds. We have not always lived up to that standard in the past, but we are doing that now, very well.
I will say this — We are supposed to be a Nation that respects all Religions equally, but anyone with half a brain will tell you that America does show deference to a protected minority of a Religion, and I am referring to those who brought The Lord Jesus Christ to a rigged trial, had him crucified and then lied and said that his disciples stole his body. (and no, folks, I am not talking about the Romans either…) The real funny thing is, the supposed descendants of those very people are the ones who run this Country and the Republican party. Funny how all that works.
As for Huckabee, I believe that if he and his Evangelical friends do not believe that the Republican Party suits their agenda, then they should walk. I believe the worst mistake that ever happened in the Republican Party, was that Ronald Reagan and the GOP gave the Christians a place at the table. Because I simply believe that Religion and Politics should never be intertwined. When they do become intertwined, you get things like Sharia Law. Which is a fascist form of Government. I believe, if anything at all, Mike Huckabee and his evangelical friends should be, as the Bible calls it, “about their Father’s business” and not meddling the affairs of this fallen world’s Government.
Furthermore, I believe that when it comes to homosexuality, Huckabee is nothing more than a two-bit coward. Huckabee fails to call homosexuality what it truly is, and that is the sodomite lifestyle. The Bible in the Old and New Testaments forbids it. Mike Huckabee could have taken a stand for the Word of God and for Christian morality, instead, he offered a dishrag of a defense, which made him look like a bigger idiot than normal. To be clear, The Word of God, that being the King James Bible (*); offers the following on the subject of homosexuality:
Old Testament:
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. (Leviticus 18:22 KJV)
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. (Leviticus 20:13 KJV)
New Testament:
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10 KJV)
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous and the wrongdoers will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived (misled): neither the impure and immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who participate in homosexuality,
10 Nor cheats (swindlers and thieves), nor greedy graspers, nor drunkards, nor foulmouthed revilers and slanderers, nor extortioners and robbers will inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God.
The people who were responsible for the Amplified Bible were under no illusion as what “Effeminate” meant to them. I am a King James Bible type of Christian, but I commend the makers of the Amplified Bible for pulling no punches on that scripture.
I only wish that people like Mike Huckabee were that bold, when it comes to issues of morality; as they are, about wanting to meddle in the affairs of the Government. Again, this goes back to being about “The Father’s Business.” In this department, Mike Huckabee and the Evangelical Christian World as a whole, is failing badly and America is now reaping the harvest of bad seed, sown many, many years ago.

It’s nice to see the neoconservative’s resident wanna-be Kike is still drinking the kool-aid 10 years later:
Ten years ago, along with three-quarters of the American people, including the men just appointed as President Obama’s secretaries of state and defense, I supported the invasion of Iraq. A decade on, unlike most of the American people, including John Kerry and Chuck Hagel, I’ll stand by that original judgment.
For what it is truly worth, I have ADHD and yes I am under a doctor’s care for it. Which is why I tend to want to kick those, who use the term in a glib or condescending way such as this here — square in the damned teeth.
This is why I love the gun-grabbing left; because their hypocrisy stinks to the high heavens. Just like the Republicans and their big-government statist policies.
Anyhow, sellout blogger, Glenn Reynolds, himself quite the statist hypocrite; notes the following:
HYPOCRISY: Hey, why does Piers Morgan have photo with gun-loving, violence-glorifying Snoop Dogg as Twitter profile?
Again, this is why I love being an independent politically, (Who does lean to the right slightly, but I digress.) and being a bit of a free-thinker; I see the hypocrisy of both sides. This is a perfect example of that very thing.
I suppose the Gun Control nuts will just love this:
SOUTHGATE — An eighth-grader at Davidson Middle School shot and killed himself in a bathroom this morning, school officials said.
Students told The News-Herald Newspapers the teen said he was depressed because he was being bullied. One classmate, who said he spoke to the student prior to the shooting, said the teen said he was thinking of taking his life.
The school was placed on lockdown at about 8:30 a.m. Although school Supt. William Grusecki was unavailable for comment, his office said the lockdown was due to a “situation with a student.”
A press conference was scheduled for 11:30 a.m. to address the situation.
News outlets are reporting the student shot himself in the head and left a note.
An eighth-grader inside the school said he was in class and heard a shot. He said the it sounded like glass breaking and a teacher rushed to a bathroom.
Students were visibly shaken as they were led out of the school. Parents were called to come and pick them up
What I want to know is, where the hell was the school at, to stop such bullying? For those who do not know; Southgate, Michigan is right next door to my city here in Lincoln Park. It is less the a mile away. I would go over there and see if I could get pictures; but Southgate is a bit of a tough city to outsiders. They are known to arrest people that they do not like the looks of, so I will stay away from the scene.
If I were the parents of this child, who killed himself; I would sue the parents of the children, who did the bullying. I would also sue the school district for not protecting my child from such bullying. It is very obvious that someone, somewhere in that school, knew that this was going on and turned and looked the other way.
Furthermore, I believe that the parents of the children, who did the bullying, ought to be held accountable for their children’s actions. The parents ought to be charged, in the case, with first degree murder.
Now, as for the gun rights people, vs the Gun Rights people; I really do not believe it would have mattered here. Most likely, this kid got this gun from his Dad’s collection, and took it to school and killed himself. No amount of gun laws, would have prevented this one at all. I should also point out, that this school, according to the Detroit News, does not have metal detectors, as it is an older school and not only that; it is a rather nice area. Southgate, Michigan is not really known for school violence; after all, it is not Detroit. Countdown to being called a racist in 5….4…3…..2….
In closing: First off, my prayers to the people involved, including the family of the deceased child. 🙁 Also, something needs to be done about bullying, it is just that simple. This is what caused the Columbine school shooting and a few tragic others. It needs to be dealt with and quickly, before anyone else gets shot.
Update: Police and school officials are now saying bullying was not the cause of the Suicide. I hold this is high suspicion, I think someone is trying to cover their behinds. Here is the video of the presser from earlier: (via WXYZ-TV)
I write this letter on the 10th anniversary of the Iraq War on behalf of my fellow Iraq War veterans. I write this letter on behalf of the 4,488 soldiers and Marines who died in Iraq. I write this letter on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of veterans who have been wounded and on behalf of those whose wounds, physical and psychological, have destroyed their lives. I am one of those gravely wounded. I was paralyzed in an insurgent ambush in 2004 in Sadr City. My life is coming to an end. I am living under hospice care.
I write this letter on behalf of husbands and wives who have lost spouses, on behalf of children who have lost a parent, on behalf of the fathers and mothers who have lost sons and daughters and on behalf of those who care for the many thousands of my fellow veterans who have brain injuries. I write this letter on behalf of those veterans whose trauma and self-revulsion for what they have witnessed, endured and done in Iraq have led to suicide and on behalf of the active-duty soldiers and Marines who commit, on average, a suicide a day. I write this letter on behalf of the some 1 million Iraqi dead and on behalf of the countless Iraqi wounded. I write this letter on behalf of us all—the human detritus your war has left behind, those who will spend their lives in unending pain and grief.
[…]
I would not be writing this letter if I had been wounded fighting in Afghanistan against those forces that carried out the attacks of 9/11. Had I been wounded there I would still be miserable because of my physical deterioration and imminent death, but I would at least have the comfort of knowing that my injuries were a consequence of my own decision to defend the country I love. I would not have to lie in my bed, my body filled with painkillers, my life ebbing away, and deal with the fact that hundreds of thousands of human beings, including children, including myself, were sacrificed by you for little more than the greed of oil companies, for your alliance with the oil sheiks in Saudi Arabia, and your insane visions of empire.
I have, like many other disabled veterans, suffered from the inadequate and often inept care provided by the Veterans Administration. I have, like many other disabled veterans, come to realize that our mental and physical wounds are of no interest to you, perhaps of no interest to any politician. We were used. We were betrayed. And we have been abandoned. You, Mr. Bush, make much pretense of being a Christian. But isn’t lying a sin? Isn’t murder a sin? Aren’t theft and selfish ambition sins? I am not a Christian. But I believe in the Christian ideal. I believe that what you do to the least of your brothers you finally do to yourself, to your own soul.
My day of reckoning is upon me. Yours will come. I hope you will be put on trial. But mostly I hope, for your sakes, that you find the moral courage to face what you have done to me and to many, many others who deserved to live. I hope that before your time on earth ends, as mine is now ending, you will find the strength of character to stand before the American public and the world, and in particular the Iraqi people, and beg for forgiveness.
This letter saddens me to my core. The Republican Party should read this, and really take stock of whom they choose for President of the United States of America. This above is why I started “The Populist” back in 2006. Because I knew what George W. Bush was doing in Iraq was simply wrong. Furthermore, I knew he was moving the goal posts on Iraq as well.
In 2007, my blog was hacked, either by Conservatives who didn’t like me or by hackers from another Country. Either way, by that time, I had began to feel that the Democrats had begun to lose it anyhow. So, I started “Political Byline” for two reasons. One, to continue where I left off with the earlier blog and secondly to go after some of the more idiotic elements of the left. What that blog became, however, was a “Tea Party” blog and sometimes, I sort of regret that. I fully admit, that at time, I got caught up in the furor of Anti-Obama’ism. At some point, I realized that I was not writing what I truly felt, and because of that; I backed away from the right.
In 2011, after President Obama declared, for all intents and purposes, the Iraq War over; I ended Political Byline’s tenure and put it into inactive status. I wrote there for from December of 2007 till October 2011. I fought the fight that I came to fight against. My politics did change a good deal. I never was much of a partisan at all, which was, most likely my downfall. Which might explain why this blog here, is not very popular at all.
I did, however, come to respect what Bush did, and why he did it and I also learned that a good deal of what the liberal left says about Iraq; this letter above being a perfect example of that — was and still is, a big lie. Some of it is true, and some of it; is nothing more than anti-war propaganda.
Still again, I believe that the Republican Party and the Democratic Party both, their leaders; need to read this letter above and really think long and hard about electing a Wilsonian Presidential candidate. Because this above ought to be a textbook example, of why the United States of America should never pursue an Wilsonian foreign policy agenda, ever again.
My thoughts and prayers go to this young man, may he find the peace and comfort; and yes, even rest, that he truly deserves.
I dedicate this video, to ALL of the Military people that we lost in a very, very unpopular war:
Whither assault weapons ban: “Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said on Monday that a controversial assault weapons ban will not be part of a Democratic gun bill that was expected to reach the Senate floor next month,” Politico notes. “After a meeting with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Monday, a frustrated Feinstein said she learned that the bill she sponsored — which bans 157 different models of assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines — wouldn’t be part of a Democratic gun bill to be offered on the Senate floor. Instead, it can be offered as an amendment. But its exclusion from the package makes what was already an uphill battle an almost certain defeat.”
My first reaction was one of relief. The bill was idiotic at best. The reason why this bill died is because Democrats know what many of the rest of America know –that America is gun nation; it always has been and always will be. America’s freedom from the British was done at the hands of guns. Furthermore, the Democrats tried this once before, in the 1990’s and they paid a terrible price for it. Harry Reid might be a liberal Democrat, but he is no idiot; he does want to be reelected to office again.
The point is this; and even my own Democratic Party voting Mother believes this — that outlawing guns of any sort is not going to stop crime. Because the criminals are always going to be able to get guns, no matter what the Government does to try to prevent it. Because there is this thing, called the “Black Market” and it does not go empty very often. Especially seeing how we let some guns walk across the border. I would not be shocked to see some of those guns end up back in the States eventually and someone killed with them.
In closing: Everyone, including me, wants to see an end to shootings, of any sort. But, passing such idiotic bills, such as this one here, is simply not the answer to the problem. The answer is encouraging parents to be involved with their children’s lives. Another good idea, and as much as I know this is going to sound like a cliché; it is the truth —- getting children involved in Church is not a bad idea. It worked for me. I spent most of my young life in Church. If anything at all; it served as good alternative to the streets and the trouble that I could have gotten into in them in Detroit. I did have parents who were strict and involved in my life, but the Church was a big part of that too.
We just cannot legislate our way to an utopian society, it just does not work. It has been tried and it has failed every time.
