The Pro-Choice Myth.

In an op-ed piece published in today's Washington Post [The Next Health Reform Myth] writer Ruth Marcus attempts to dispel the notion that any new Democrat proposal for "health care reform" will use taxpayer money to fund abortions.

"Don't believe it", she says. "These inflammatory statements do a disservice to a complex issue of public policy:".

Later in the piece she contradicts her own statement. She writes;
"Actually, let's remember: Tax dollars already are used to pay for abortion."

In the fairy world of politics,tax money is used for abortions, but yet it's not used for abortions. It will be used for abortions in the future, yet it won't be used for abortions.

And this all makes sense to her.

Marcus feels obliged to let us know where she stands on the issue of pro-life versus pro-choice. She writes;
"I am firmly in the camp of those who think the abortion decision should be left up to the woman. But I respect those who fervently believe that abortion is the taking of human life, so I am sensitive to concerns that their tax dollars not be used to pay for the procedure."

Now, I'm assuming that Ms. Marcus is an educated woman. The Washington Post isn't going to employ anyone who hasn't graduated from a fine, upstanding University. Surely, she's no dummy. But, yet, she does not seem to understand that a fetus, growing inside a woman, is alive. She also doesn't seem to comprehend the obvious fact that the "thing" growing inside the woman is a human being.

Was she asleep in class when they were teaching basic human biology? For the life of me, I cannot understand how anyone in the "pro-choice" camp can honestly say that what is destroyed in an abortion is not a human being.

If they want to say that the decision should be left up to the woman, they should be honest enough, with themselves and us, to admit that they are advocating that a mother has the right to take the life of her unborn child.

Those in the "pro-choice" movement are intellectually dishonest and too cowardly to live up to the truth of what they preach.

Obama's Address to the School Children.

There's been a lot of controversy about Obama's plan to speak to the nation's school children today. There's been talk that he is trying to indoctrinate the young ones.

It isn't that, he assures us. He merely wants to convince the kids to stay in school and give it their all and that sort of thing. To ease our fears, he's released the text of the speech in advance. It can be found here - http://www.whitehouse.gov/MediaResources/PreparedSchoolRemarks/.

I suppose the closest he comes to big government propaganda is when he makes statements like:

"And this isn’t just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. What you’re learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future."
and;
"We need every single one of you to develop your talents, skills and intellect so you can help solve our most difficult problems. If you don’t do that – if you quit on school – you’re not just quitting on yourself, you’re quitting on your country."

The speech is, for the most part, just a typical "stay in school, work hard, do your best, blah blah blah pep talk".

It doesn't appear to be as dangerous as some had imagined.....but then again, it could have very well had been recorded and shown at a time when the local school systems felt was best. I'd say the cost of streaming this and delivering it nation wide is a waste of valuable time and money.

It's All For The Schoochildren.

The first photo below is a screen shot of a page taken from whitehouse.gov announcing the President's upcoming national address to school children. As pointed out on the Drudge Report, someone at the White House misspelled "school children"......it reads schoochildren.

A fine example of how to educate our young folk.

The second photo is proof that someone in the Obama administration reads Drudge. The spelling error has been corrected.

I Pledge.......

After reading this article and seeing the video, I pledge to expose this piece of leftist propaganda.

Ben and Jerry's Celebrate "Gay Marriage".

To celebrate the legalization of same sex marriage in Vermont, Ben and Jerry's has renamed one of it's ice cream flavors - Chubby Hubby - to Hubby Hubby.

According to the Ben and Jerry's website;

"In partnership with Freedom to Marry we are gathered here to celebrate Vermont and all the other great states where loving couples of all kinds are free to marry legally. We have ceremoniously dubbed our iconic flavor, Chubby Hubby to Hubby Hubby in support, and to raise awareness of the importance of marriage equality."

A telegraph.co.uk article states;

"The firm has striven to retain its freethinking reputation despite its 2000 sale to food giant Unilever......"

It shouldn't come as a surprise that Unilever would be in favor of same sex marriage. After all, Unilever also makes Vaseline.
