Oh, now that’s just pure 100% bleeping nonsense. Watch the bleeping videos for crying out loud. The man is a lifelong abortionist creep! He explains it all himself. His mother raised him that way. Don’t take my word for it, get it straight from the horses patoot!
Take your RINO pushing B/S elsewhere!! We’ll tell it like it is here, thank you very much.
While many of them were goaded, even baited into it, virtually all the purged freepers said something that led to their ban. They would get tired of being attacked all the time, and lash out personally at someone, and then theyd get zapped.
But it was still within their power to control their own fate. It was like one of those bad movies where all the prisoners are standing, and the guards are trying to bait them into throwing a punch so the guards can kill them, and one guy keeps saying dont take the bait, but one by one the others cant take it anymore, launch a punch, and end up dead.
It was all very Lord of the Flies though, how other freepers danced on their graves.
Charles - I see what you mean.
I was litigating against the ACLU in an abortion case when Romney was running in Mass. I was paying attention to what he said. I was surprised by it, and I didn’t like it.
But it wasn’t “pro-abortion” or “abortionist.” It’s a fine distinction, but I think a valid one.
As I said in another post, we Mormons don’t believe in smoking. But most of us take the libertarian view when it comes to laws against other people smoking. Because I believe the unborn child deserves some protection, I don’t take the libertarian view on abortion.
If you look at what Romney was doing at the time — counseling women in his congregation that abortion was wrong, and not to do it — what he was doing politically (and expediently) was saying, “Keep the government out of it.”
Whether that translates to (1) “I don’t think unborn life should have legal protection at all stages” or (2) “I know this is a fight I can’t possibly win because states don’t have any power, and I’m not going to take on this battle,” I can’t really say. Either way, I didn’t like it.
My point is, you can make a valid argument against his position without overstating it or demonizing him.
You seemed like such a nice man when I saw you at the Anti-Clinton rally on the mall. A fond memory. I wish we could be as united against the “common enemy,” Obama, as we were against the “common enemy,” Clinton.
