Socialists and green party lawmakers grant rights to apes not enjoyed by humans

CNA ^ | June 27, 2008

Joan Herrera of the Catalonia Green Party said apes “are beings capable of knowing themselves and have wide and complex cognitive capacities.”

 

Yeah. Just like Democrats.

[NYer]

Meanwhile, the government continues to destroy the humans through abortion. I wonder how the government feels about aborting the chimps?

Right to throw feaces at one another?

[Libertarianize the GOP]

The ever expanding definition of rights makes it harder to defend our real and important rights, you can't defend everything all of the time; therefore what is truly important will get lost since some rights will be routinely violated.

Isn’t this how the *Planet of the Apes* got started?

We know how this will end up:

[day10]

It's a madhouse!!!

[EagleUSA]

The radical, insane left is just that. They are fanatics that would not even stop at human engineering....

[fortunecookie]

I was thinking the same thing. Imagine trying to deny an ape food and water, such deprivation leading to it’s death, twisted as that would be. Ok for Terri, wrong for apes. Something is not right here...

[JRandomFreeper]

AND THEN! The SCOTUS says we have to arm bears.

After I get my hearing aid checked out, I'm going to the city office to complain.

have grated orangutans, chimpanzees, gorillas and other apes

Mmmmm.
Grated orangutan.

My favorite.

[BenLurkin]

There may be a big backlash someday against all the lunacy Western civilization is being dragged into.

I don't know if I'm hoping for the day or ruing how dreadful it will be.

[alloysteel]

Who says that “orangutans, chimpanzees, gorillas and other apes” even WANT to be companions of humanity?

Did these people watch “Planet of the Apes” one too many times?

I would HATE to see gorillas put in charge of military operations.

Spain has gone from a conservative catholic country to one that’s significantly to the left of Berkeley!!

[rbmillerjr]

Spain deserves a good mocking and I highly suggest that everybody watch “Barcelona”.

It’s a funny little romp that is not totally political but much of the comedy plot lines involve left/right politics and anti-American vs. EuroTrash stuff, especially the “red ants” skit.

A movie worth renting.

I enjoyed the end, where Spanish spouses enjoy the bucolic North Woods of the American bourgeoisie. How they were won over by the nerdy guys beats me.

Sadly, Magilla Gorilla isn’t around to enjoy these rights (unless he’s on TVLand).

[lowbridge]

Including the right to keep and bear arms?

There fixed that! It is time to call them what they are!

COMMUNISTS! ( All other names are mere Orwellian smokescreens.

I wish the Talking Pumpkin Heads ( Rush, Hannity, and OReilly) would start using the word that fits: COMMUNISM! They are such weenie ! They are afraid the Communists will accuse these wimpy, talk show Ichabods of "calling people names".

[Spok]

This doesn’t elevate the rights of apes, but degrades the rights of human beings. Liberal hysteria cheapens everything it touches; environmental catastrophies, bigotry, genocide, facism, hate, etc., are all just worn out, overused terms without meaning, just like ‘human rights’.
