During today's show, Boortz addressed his comments that he made on Monday regarding the alleged hijacking of the GOP by the pro-life wing of the party. Boortz claims that this faction of the GOP has caused the Party to lose the popular vote in the '96, '00, and '08 Presidential elections.
While the radio show host did not explicitly state his personal opinion on the abortion debate, I perceive that the so-called libertarian is pro-choice in that he talks about a "woman's right to choose" and divides the players in the abortion debate into 2 camps: the pro-choice camp and the anti-choice camp.
While I disagree with his assertions, he has every right to say what he says. But the thing that scalds me is his double standard on life issues.
He gives the impression that he is pro-choice on abortion, but yet he is vehemently against the rationing of healthcare away from the elderly and terminally ill. Aren't these opinions mutually exclusive? So, according to Neal, the termination of unborn children is perfectly fine (it is a woman's right to control her body, right?), but yet the passive euthanasia of the elderly and terminally ill is murder? Is anyone else disturbed by this?
Boortz is one of my favorite shows, he (along with Savage) are the smartest, most informed, and most intellectually honest right of center talk show hosts, but his cowardice/ignorance on the abortion issue is costing him in ratings and name value.
Govt = Laws = moral society = prosperity
NOT SO MUCH IN YOUR WORLD!!!!!!!!!

I voted for Romney because he was closest to us gutless libertarians. Too bad that man among men McCain was selected. Imagine if the GOP selected someone more gutless... sheesh way to cut off your nose to spite your face.
Send this to someone who doesn’t get it!
Really: Is that how it works? You assert that more laws=more morals=more prosperity. If that was true then authoritarian governments are the most moral and most prosperous.
The only question we should be asking each other is whether or not you think Roe should be overturned. That is an easy question to answer as even the most ardent supports of Roe know it is not based on the reality of what is in the Constitution.
As I stated in another post: I am against abortion. So exercise your right to educate people that do not agree with your position. Perhaps you can overturn Roe vs Wade. Until then, the supreme court gives people the freedom to accept or reject abortion.
Kelo gives government the freedom to take or not take your land to give to someone else. Everybodys happy!
Since he didn't have children til very late in life and his wife seems to wear the pants I suspect SHE is behind his stance. Boortz will not allow the subject to be discussed ,, only he can speak about it ... he is ashamed of his stance and his inability to give a logical answer...
Savage acknowledged being a party to 2 abortions (wife) when they were young and liberal.. he has seen the light and atoned , he now holds consistant and logical positions ... Neal HATES Savage with a passion ,, I wonder if this is part of it because Neal has never come clean and has always languished in the ratings ,, even compared to a newcomer like Savage.
So libertarians believe freedoms are handed out by the supreme court, rulers of these united metrosexual states (SCROTUMS)?
I didn't know that such was a central tenet of either the founding fathers OR libertarians.
Did you commit a Freudian slip in the heat of argument?
Cheers!
who the hell knows what I mean after this thread
Some times it takes more courage to hold true to your principles, even when the rest of the conservative movement tramples off a cliff behind the likes of Willard or McCain...
If government is to do anything it is OBLIGATED to protect the God given rights of the governed. Life is the primary of these rights as confirmed by the Declaration of Independence and the signatures of the Framers.
Somehow, if I am reading you right, you think you know better than Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, Washington, et al. But I could be wrong in my assumption of your position.
Cheers!
This is an empty argument because you do it every time you vote. You are imposing your beliefs that conservatism/libertarianism is superior on the minority.
Does not the government of the people, by the people and for the people have the obligation to protect life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all Americans?
The problem with the pro lifers is they scare off otherwise conservative voters who don't like having a bible waved in their face.
You argue an anti-religious standpoint but you do not mention that you are also arguing against scientific fact that the embryo is human and that every single human started life out this way.
Are we to mean that we all have equal rights under the law or just those who can speak up?
Exactly right. Do we believe in EVERYONE is equal under the law or not? Just those who can physically speak up? That is not very libertarian.
I didn’t know that- thanks.
I think, folks, that as bright as Neal Boortz is, he can’t understand that a pregnant woman has the right to control healthcare for her body (which is completely legitimate- not the government’s business), but the problem is that the unborn fetus in the womb already takes part in mankind.
Although the fetus inside the womb is dependent on the mother, it is still a DISTINCT, separate human being with DISTINCT DNA.
A woman with 2 hearts, 2 brains, and 2 sets of lungs is not a freak, but rather pregnant with a human child. That’s all.
Don’t argue science you religious nut! - sarc
