The democrats are so sure they're right that they cannot handle truth/facts and have to jump on the blame-nazis-holocaust-starting-death-camps bus to delude themselves from the fact that they've been wrong all along; why is anyone surprised, leftism = absence of responsibility.

They would rather see millions killed in a continuation of the Korean War than admit that they are wrong and are morons.

I watched Rachel Maddow for the first time last night. It was pretty disappointing because I was expecting a good rant, but she was incredibly dull and boring.

She opened with some long “expose” about political corruption in Alabama regarding the governor and the former AG turned U.S. Senator. I *think* she was trying to use it to draw some parallels to Trump, but I’m not sure.

I follow politics pretty closely, but after 10 minutes of listening to her pontificate, I still had no idea what point she was trying to make.


Watched enough of it (enjoyed seeing the meltdown) to get the gist of her rant. Basically, if things could be jacked In her words, all they need is one vote from one of the two women in the Senate and or Flake and they can STOP THE MADNESS.

Hmmm. Maybe they should start teaching/preaching personal responsibility again then...You see, getting pregnant is really a preventable occurrence. Several ways to prevent pregnancy in the first place, so why need to abort babies? I understand when the need arises out of medical necessity and rape, but generally, there aren't too many REAL reasons to do something like that.


I have no intention to argue about abortion as a substantive matter - I am merely recounting the argument. I believe it is a matter for the states though, and that the constitution has nothing to say about the matter whatever.

That means Texas would likely ban abortions and California won't. That is the way it goes in a country where the states retain most of the power.

The big deal is that people on both sides think it's a big deal...

WALSH: Things Are About To Get Very, Very Ugly
Supreme Court

As recently as yesterday morning, I said that I couldn't foresee America descending into a full-blown civil war. I may have to slightly amend that statement. The retirement of Justice Kennedy and the very real (though far from certain) possibility that Roe could be overturned changes the equation somewhat. I still can't imagine a civil war along the lines of the first one — two sides, complete with uniforms, meeting for organized combat on the battlefield — but I think that the chances of chaos in the streets and violent clashes across the country just rose considerably.

Abortion is the Left's high sacrament. It has built its entire movement upon this bloody altar. With abortion, it claims a godlike power over life and death. Leftists, through abortion, make life itself relative to their whims and desires. Life begins whenever the mother wants it to begin, the Left proclaims. And oh, what power! Who would claim such power and then give it up willingly? Especially when this power protects and fortifies your hassle-free, responsibility-free, consequence-free sex life. To give up abortion is to give up power, to give up convenience, to give up relativism, to give up your self-centered approach to sex and life in general. The Left will not go gently into that good night. They will rage, and rage, and rage, against the dying of the light.

What will their raging consist of? I don't know. I fear that it could be quite violent. History has shown that the oppressors will rarely retreat from their oppression peacefully. They would much rather kill and destroy to reestablish their superiority and the way of life that was made so much easier by that superiority. Will the same thing happen here? Perhaps.

Whatever happens, we must remember that the pro-life fight does not end with the overturning of Roe. Rather, it begins with the overturning of Roe. Everything up until that moment is preparation for what comes after it. Today, we fight against abortion with the understanding that we cannot actually end it. But when ending it becomes a real possibility, a feasible objective, then the fight is really on. And the butchers of children will go to any lengths in that fight. There is nothing they won't do. Lie. Cheat. Steal. Kill. They have done it all to preserve the "right" to abortion. They will kick it into overdrive when that "right" is finally and truly threatened.

And if that's how things goes, so be it. When it comes to ending this historic atrocity, there is no price too high to pay. History shows that the oppressors will do anything to hang onto power. And history also shows that the liberators, if they stand firm and unafraid, very often prevail.

No opinion here, just clarifying.

Poor people should stop xxxxxxx, as a reply, was because the previous post stated that, it would be poor people predominantly effected by bans/restrictions.

But, I get your point. If abortion was harder to obtain, people would perhaps pay more attention to preventative measures. Maybe.

Correct. I only singled out poor people because poor people were used as an example of someone affected by possible legislation. But rich people should stop screwing if they don’t want kids too. I held out having sex until I knew I could afford to support a kid. It wasn’t easy but it isn’t impossible.

The last line of THIS PIECE (which collected from Twitter some of the lunatic rantings of liberals about the Kennedy resignation) is really a spot-on analsyis:

"Perhaps if the Left didn’t willingly give so much power over their day-to-day lives to the government they wouldn’t have to work themselves into an exhaustive frenzy every time the judiciary shifted"
