has been operating since 1916 and which a Republican president — Richard Nixon, no less — funded in 1970.


Nixon did more to damage the republican brand than any other.

Why is Hillary Clinton remaining silent on video proving Planned Parenthood crushes babies skulls to save body parts for selling?

She’s the Wash Post resident Metro section commentator (along with leftist Courtland Milloy and a few others just right of Stalin).

She’s a leftist pig and can actually make one puke when reading one of her outrageously stupid columns.

If these same people were selling animal parts, you can imagine the outrage.

WaPo Columnist Celebrates Pro-life Pharmacy’s Closure

Petula Dvorark, Washington Post’s designated church-basher, commemorated the closure of a Virginian “pro-life” pharmacy with snide glee in her April 13 column.

“The Divine Mercy Care Pharmacy in Chantilly proudly and purposefully limited what it would stock on its shelves. But it turns out that no birth control pills, no condoms, no porn, no tobacco and even no makeup added up to one thing: No customers,” Dvorak wrote.

‘What about places where women don’t have alternatives?’” Dvorak quoted Greenberger.

“Perhaps Divine Mercy was doomed by its competition, or maybe, despite the Sunday Mass boosterism of the Divine Mercy business, Northern Virginia Catholics aren’t as pro-life the rest of the week,” Dvorak conjectured.

WaPo’s Dvorak Blasts Conservative Restaurant Owners, Compares ‘Papa John’s’ to Drug Cartel

Since when does serving up junk food give someone a license to preach?” carped Petula Dvorak as she opened her August 14 piece, “Now featuring filet o’ fracas.”* Gee, I dunno, Petula, maybe 1791, when the First Amendment — you know, that pesky little document that guarantees freedom of speech and religion among other things — was ratified.

“We’ve got the Papa John’s pizza guys weighing in on the health-care debate, while the burger slingers out West at In-N-Out can’t serve up a cheeseburger without a Bible verse,” Dvorak carped. Later in her Metro section column, she essentially compared the pizza chain to drug-running terrorists.

Dvorak found herself penning this column as she has a problem that she shares with other liberal Washingtonians: they love tasty fast-food joints like Chick-fil-A but don’t want to seem to support the socially-conservative values of their senior management:

The craziness of fast-food commentary on social issues became obvious to me when I stumbled into a totally earnest discussion at a party last week by a bunch of Washingtonians who personally support the right to same-sex marriage, but are also wickedly addicted to Chick-fil-A sandwiches.

This is the stuff of serious dilemma inside the Beltway.

“I don’t know what to do about it. I mean, I guess I can go through the drive-thru where no one will see me,” one woman said.

“It doesn’t matter if anyone sees you there. It’s about helping them fund hate groups by buying their hate-chicken,” another responded.

“Have you had that banana cream pie milkshake?” someone asked.

And the entire room dissolved into a quiet moment of personal ecstasy, the kind that ends with a head-shake of loss, grief and sorrow.

Why did they have to go there?

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy opposes same-sex marriage to anyone who has heard the hymns piped into the restaurant or tried to tame a chicken jones on a Sunday, only to find a closed restaurant because Sunday is for God, not chicken. But his remarks on the subject created a furor and divided the nation yet again along political lines.

Ah, yes, it’s all Chick-fil-A’s fault for this tempest in a [sweet] tea pot.

Baltimore’s Tough Streets

Petula Dvorak, a Washington Post columnist, writes that she went to Baltimore to get a firsthand look at how the poorest of the poor live. In short order, she got robbed and knocked around.

Dvorak’s column begins with her tapping notes into her phone as “waves and waves of angry teens headed past” her and a “teen with a tattooed neck standing in the middle of a West Baltimore street” yelling at her.

“Get out of our way, sister,” he shouted.

“In a flash, one of them bumped into me and grabbed the phone out of my hand,” writes Dvorak. “I chased him, screaming, and other protesters knocked into me, tripped me and shoved me to the ground. They circled around me, some with bricks or rocks or bottles in their hands.”

snip

Dvorak reports that Freddie Gray’s death in Baltimore “represents yet another terrible incident of alleged police misconduct during the arrest of a black man for a petty (or nonexistent, as may be the case here) reason.”

Well, not exactly. “Petty” or “nonexistent” might not be an accurate way to describe Freddie Gray’s multiple encounters with the cops.

“Court records show Gray was arrested more than a dozen times, going back to when he was 18, mostly on charges of selling or possessing heroin or marijuana,” writes Washington Post reporter Peter Hermann. “He had a handful of convictions, and his longest stint behind bars was about two years. He had two pending drug cases when he died.”

Black lives matter. To drug dealers?

My guess is plump little Petula is looking to get a discount on an aborted baby’s liver. Hence the praise of PP.

PETA would never shut up if that were the case.

In all his criminal enterprises, has El Chappo killed 57 million people? 40 million? 100,000?

I’m running out of “polite” words to describe people like Petula.

What a darling. Just why didn’t her parents decide to abort her? Enquiring minds want to know.
