You do not know me or what I care about and you do not know what I have seen or experienced. What gives you the right to throw these nasty insults? I have never insulted you.

You already told us that you have not had much experience with violence, yet anger is all that you have left and you also told us that you would like to destroy all life etc.

It sounds pretty young, childish and self pitying to me.

Like I said, go to a rough bar tonight and let one of the men kick your ass, it will help clear the cobwebs.

I am a pretty emotionally weak person. It comes with having no strength or faith.

“Like I said, go to a rough bar tonight and let one of the men kick your ass, it will help clear the cobwebs.”

I have a shotgun coming after a 2 week waiting period. It can clear any cobwebs that might be in my head along with everything else. Hopefully everything happens according to plan since my last attempt was interrupted. You won’t have to listen to me anymore.

While this might be positive news we cannot forget that there are millions of people that voted for Obozo and still consider themselves “pro-life” and good solid practicing Christians.

Many are PLINO: Pro-Life In Name Only.

Please Freepmail me if you want on or off my Pro-Life Ping List.

You are just some kind of drama queen, Goth, troll.

Here is your second post on FR from 2006.

Soothesayer to nonsporting; All
It is far worse than any of you have seen, soon they will surely pluck out your spleen. Abortion is only the tip of the tree, soon they will be coming even for thee.

Repent and die, the end is neigh!

The majority loves the dollar more than the child. A fool would say that this is mild.
Put away your hope, put away your dreams, all will unraveling out from the seams.
Do not give birth, do not give life, for all will die at the tip of the knife.
Abandon all hope, abandon all hope, life as we knew it was naught but a dope.

That was three years ago and I was on meds. 4 years ago I was a DU troll under a different screen-name. I would go on threads and argue in defense of terrorists, Democrats, and child rapists. My first comment on FR was in defense of the murderers who committed the Beslan massacre. I’m sure you can find the comment as it sticks out like a sore thumb. I also made friends with Hamas-supporting muslims and went to their anti-Israel rallies. I did embryonic stem cell research while an undergraduate in college. Go ahead and shout my sins from every thread and from every rooftop. I don’t give a **** anymore. I confided my screwed up mind with FR because all the psychiatrists and therapists I’ve met were impersonal liberal bureaucrats and there aren’t that many internet forums free from liberal influence.

I’ve changed quite a bit since then and I don’t need to prove it to anyone, especially you. If you are looking for someone to demolish in order to elevate yourself, you could not have picked an easier target.

Be sure to copy the first part of this comment and post it everywhere you can on FR so that everyone will know what I’ve done and hate me for it. I hope you continue to enjoy your fun.

Just to make your flaming a bit easier, my last screen-name was “Gava”. Just looks for the liberal troll comments.

You may also want to mention that I once tried to strangle a 5 year old boy while on a family trip to Quebec. Fortunately for the little boy this didn’t succeed. Of course, you don’t need to believe any of this because I have been a pathological liar for a long time.

Since that account is still usable why not just post under it?

The password is long lost and the school email I registered has since been deactivated after I graduated. You will just need to look for old threads or take my word for it.

It seems the moderates in the GOP would like to be part of the mainstream.

In simplest terms, because the economy tanked and the MSM was in the tank.

I don’t want to be led astray with false hopes.

On average, it looks like little has changed over the past ten years. A one-year shift seems improbable, barring some extraordinary event. And I can't think of one.

Having someone such as Obama with his radical views also brings to light to more people just how nefarious abortion really is.

I'm not a fan of Alinsky tactics, since they're anti-intellectual. But if a stance on a public policy issue ever cried out for ridicule and derision, it's support for abortion.

It's time to treat abortion supporters like supporters of slavery. They deserve to be ridiculed.

Look how the "homophobe" label made people cower in fear, even though it was a lie. Imagine how the "pro-death" label would make the "pro-abortion" crowd cower --and it would be an accurate label.

Soothesayer, please don’t go there. Think of your family and loved ones who would be devastated.

Soothesayer- May I ask how old you are? This is not intended to be in any way mean, I am just curious, and here is why.

It seems to me that many people who were born post Roe V Wade, who are now coming into their mid to late 30’s have a similar outlook. The interesting thing that pro aborts never took into consideration (as usual, an unintended consequence) is this: NO one thought to consider just HOW it would affect an entire generation of people who were born and grown up knowing it is by the luck of the draw that they even exist. They live with the knowledge, whether consciencely or sub consciencely that they could have been ripped from their mothers womb at any time.

There are always unintended consequences. The numbers of young people and adults today that engage in things like suicide/attempted and successful, cutting, drug/alcohol abuse, prescription pill abuse, child/spousal/sexual abuse and murders, narcissistic behaviours, and much more seem to be almost epidemic.

Looking at the flip side, many many children are being raised by people who survived abortion (their mothers chose not to have one, obviously) and may be suffering from severe guilt because they weren’t killed (like many on 9/11 who for one reason or another were not at work that day and lost entire companies of people) and are therefore overindulging their children in an attempt to assuage their guilt. Never before have I seen such an indulged, pampered, spoiled generation. Whats worse is, many of these people may have actually HAD an abortion in their teens or 20’s because they did not realize that it would affect them later on, when they looked at their first born child and remembering their first not born child.

I was born before abortion was legal, in the late 60’s. All three of my sons are extremely pro life(one is getting married this winter, one is going to seminary the following fall, and my youngest is a staunch pro life advocate-goes to rallies in front of clinics, does protests etc). I have always been pro life, and while I have not personally done more than teach the boys about abortion, they have done MUCH more to advocate for life than I ever did. It has affected them, deeply, and motivated them to action.

My youngest has several shirts about the topic, the most poignent is “ I survived- over 1/3 of my generation has been murdered by abortion”. He wears it alot.

As far as the trend goes, there are a couple positives. 1. many more young people are involved in the movement; not as much ‘snow on the roof’ at the march for life in recent years (all the snow is on the pro abortion rally side, so that is a good trend) and 2. the numbers are steadily trending toward pro life, and as long as we continue to touch hearts and minds as we go, speak boldly and with love, that will continue until abortion is considered a failed experiement and relegated to history.
