OK, LET'S TALK ABORTION

I have no link for this or any recent "happening" other than Indiana's chapter of Planned Parenthood decided to give out "gift certificates" for "reproductive rights" which I find appalling. It may very well have to do with tonights wine and the anniversary of my twin daughter's early demise.


My daughters, Courtney Lynn Zank and Erica Adele Zank were born prematurely at just under 3 months many years ago, before the amazing technology we have available today, else they'd be alive. They were born alive, and I had the pleasure of holding them (thank you Dr Lewis & Parkview) for their very short lives. They both fit in my one hand, and were perfectly developed (though tiny) and the Doctor allowed me to hold them both before they died. They were NOT masses of tissue, nor "lumps" of "after birth". They were breathing (albeit shortly) living daughters of mine, yet by todays reproductive rights standards (and advocates) they didn't amount to human life. They would have been dispensible, disposable and just so much trash in a medical waste bin. Legally, they could have simply used a forceps to crush their skulls.

NOW:


I've got NO problem with Planned Parenthood when it advocates birth control, be it pills, condoms or that hopelessly outdated notion of celibacy and common sense. Yes, I was a teenager too, and I had my share of foolish follies and I was grateful for planned parenthood, but it NEVER included, nor would it have included the taking of an innocent life.


Call it whatever you like, but if you have ever had an ultrasound done on a pregnant spouse, partner or whatever, and watched the "fetus" (gawd I hate that term) move around with arms, legs, etc. you really don't have a leg to stand on.


If you can, hug your children.

Bombs, Bullets & Boneheads In Walmart

I'm not normally this philosophically inclined, but with the recent terror attack in India being blamed (by the MSM) on everyone from us (The U.S.) to Mickey Mouse to Pakistan and beyond and the trampling of a Walmart employee to death by bargain shoppers today, I had to just stop and think for a moment about the "herd" mentality we all subscribe to today.

In all the examples above, if I pull the trigger, light the fuse, or toss the grenade, or trample some poor clerk to death, who is responsible? ME??? ....nahhhh


The gun manufacturer, the explosives maker, the grenade manufacturer, or the retailer who held the sale has the responsibility. We're just hapless victims wandering through life with absolutely (it would appear) no conscience whatsoever.

Are none of us to blame anymore for our own actions?

Not to be abrupt, but what the fuck do you people tell your kid's???

In our quest to find an answer for the unthinkable things that happen on this earth, we have now completely ignored the answer and just settled for the simple " It isn't/wasn't my fault.

Responsibility used to be answer, the norm, the way to "own up" and do the right thing. As of now, none of us owes any answers to anyone, it's just "shit happens".

What a tremendously sad reflection of our world in 2008.

Hope your "Thanksgiving" was filled with joy as you passed the yams and collectively watched your civilization circle the porcelain bowl.

A good read by Frank Gray from todays Fort Wayne Journal Gazette on how the Ft Wayne smoking ban is improving the lives of area citizens.

http://www.journalgazette.net/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20081125/LOCAL0201/811250316

Some folks would call this the result of "The law of unintended consequences". I would call it the obvious result of a city council that doesn't have a f&%king clue.

Congratulations, you didn't succeed in getting anyone to actually quit smoking, but you sure were successfull in changing their behavior, economically speaking that is. Nice job!

FOR THEE BUT NOT FOR ME

Though he's vowed and promised to improve our educational system and public schools, it looks as though itll be the Sidwell private school for America's Hope & Change President! Even while having the massive backing of the teachers unions, Obama still feels his girls deserve better than the DC Public Schools. And of course the teachers union already gave him a pass on it.
While I support his decision to send his kids wherever the hell he prefers, I think he has missed an immeasurable opportunity to "cement" his message of "Hope and Change" with his fellow Americans.
The most obvious claim is, security must be of paramount concern and the Sidwell would be an easier location to protect the children. I think that's disengenous at best. The secret service is extremely good at what they do, and they can do it anywhere. My thought is, if the Obama children were to attend DC Public Schools, they could not only be protected just as well as at Sidwell, the mere presence of the secret service at the schools would cause the ordinary violence and mayhem associated with public schools to plummet enormously. Now there's a plus!
In addition to that, can you imagine the positive effect it would have on the school population? Imagine kids from modest means in inner city schools being taught alongside the children of The President Of The United States. You think that might enthuse some kids that would otherwise not like school very much, or even drop out? Can you imagine those kids being friends with, sitting beside, playing sports with and growing up with the children of the first African-American President? For 4 years and maybe even eight? How many lives would be different forever after experiencing that?? How many lives would those students go on to change after graduating????
I know he'll never do it, but I think he's missing a hell of an opportunity to actually walk the walk.

WHO WILL THE DEMS PICK IN 2012??
The question begs to be asked, because code pink, moveon.org, huffpo & kos (to name just a few)are gonna be sooooo pissed at Barry by the end of his 3rd year, they'll be hunting in earnest for a new Messiah.

By the end of his 3rd year, we'll still be in Iraq, we'll still have prisoners in GITMO, and aside from all the new federalized workers picking up trash on the road, we'll have the 20 million or so new citizens from south of the border becoming citizens overnight and the unemployment problem will be huge. The economy will still be circling the commode and that "hopey/changey" euphoria will have worn old. They're already taking bets on how quickly his hair will turn white, though I think that would have happened already what with coming home every night to James Brown in a dress, but I digress....(I love that line)

This is a dangerous world and perilous times, security wise and financially and "The One" has just stepped into a couple of briefings where the only change occuring is Barry's shorts cuz he's shittin' his pants big time. We're not in Illinois anymore Toto, this is the bigs, and for a relatively young man who hasn't been responsible for a whole hell of a lot, the weight of the office of POTUS is hitting him like a ton of bricks. He'll be tacking center right pronto and that's gonna freak the Soros funded leftards right into a frenzy to find the next American apologist......

Who will it be???

Now do me a favor, and click the link and peruse the article. Whether you agree with the $700B
bailout or not, can anyone out there give me ANY reason why I shouldn't go out tomorrow and rack up the balances 100% on say $150,000 on my credit cards?????

WTF NOT??

Either it'll be written off as a bad debt, subsidized by the fed, or I can just file bankruptcy on it after having one hell of a good time. Either way, what the fuck, it's all the rage!!! It's pretty clear to me none of us will be held accountable for ANY personal responsibility, as we are obviously all victims.

Anybody else with me? Why the hell fight it, The government is here to help and we can't fight it can we?????? If we're gonna be socialists anyway, why not go out with a bang and get some good "shit" to have around the house we won't have to pay for either.

What a country (it was)
