I have always believed that regardless of what he said in public, Dr. Seuss was pro-life; at the very least, his income depended on children.

I don’t really believe that the “pro-choice” folks don’t understand that “a person’s a person no matter” where, or how small.
I believe that they DON’T CARE, because it’s more important to take away one of the consequences of choices made prior to conception.
“It’s a deep-dyed ee-vil political plot...”
Hope that tune makes the cut!
“We know what you’re up to, pal,
You’re trying to shatter our morale,
And raise the cost of figs and dates
And wreck our compound interest rates
And shut our schools and steal our jewels
And even change our football rules
Take away our garden tools
And lock us up in vestibules!
But fortunately we’re no fools!
We’re the Wickersham brothers...”
Liberals can’t stand having their own words turned against them.
Maybe he was. It’s really a shame that his wife isn’t, but let us hope that he was.
Good point. And it is a far greater sin to know the truth and not care than it is to be ignorant to the truth.
“who is a supporter of Planned Parenthood, abortion and the homosexual movement”
They all go together, don’t they.
The parallel between Dr. Suess’s story and the pro-life cause is, however incidental, very much apropos. Tough luck for Dr. Suess that the concept and words, “a person’s a person no matter how small,” merit little in the way of unique language or thought, as if no one else may make use of these words in a pro-life context. Meanwhile Mrs. Suess doubtless holds the recipe for beezlenut stew.
They left off euthanasia, probably just an oversight.
The Grinch movie was okay, but unnecessarily long and just plain unnecessary. Besides flipping the characters so that many of the Whovians seemed to have forgotten the meaning of Christmas until the Grinch came along, it was padded even more than the 23-minute cartoon (which, by the way, didn't exactly follow the book -- but Chuck Jones' changes worked great and Boris Karloff's narration just sealed the deal!).
Meyer's as the Cat in the Hat just looked absolutely freaky, so much so that I never had any intentions of seeing that film. The CitH cartoon was a classic in my house when I was a kid; we watched it every year. I've seen it once as a parent and discovered two things: first, "Hey, that's Allan Sherman doing the voice!" and second, it was dreadfully painful to watch as an adult. Oh, well.
I liked the two Horton cartoons as a kid. I hope that they don't screw them up too badly. I'm sure that the rhyme will be tossed out immediately, but hopefully the story will hold up. (Hey, that worked for Madelline, so maybe it could work here, too.)
I just found my new tagline!
Ms. G, supporter of abortionists, abortions, and homosexual minority-identity politix... wonder if she might consider herself to be a Democrat?
The real issue is that WHOre Audrey Geisel. She has pimped out great Dr. Suess books into crap movies! Dr. Suess was very protective of his works. Only really had trust in 1 man to do it right, and that was cartoonist Chuck Jones! The Grinch and Cat in the Hat both sucked.
The Cat in the Hat remake actually made me ill. Never before in my life have I actually been angry, I mean furious, at the entire cast/writers/producer of a movie.
I could have punched them in the mouth for the vile Hollywood filth they injected into a beautiful childhood story. BTW, Myers only has 3 character skits and is far from a 'great actor' and even farther from being an actor suited for children.
never saw grinch and never will. [puke on it]

I’m sad that Dr. Seuss, who was a pretty good guy, got saddled with such a witch for a wife.
