SJ said...: Let's see...

Evolution has produced the wide variety of species of animals on the Earth. Usually by exploiting advantages that one small group has over the mainstream of the species.

But somehow, that has not happened to Homo Sapiens since the species differentiated 200000 years or so ago.

Except neither the Left wing nor the Right wing take much notice of the fact that some humans have an advantage in digesting lactose. Or digesting the carbohydrates in grain/sugar.

Or the special muscle fibers that give advantages in the 100-meter dash.

Or the ability to handle alcohol (without becoming an alcoholic).

Or mental skills associated with success certain branches of advanced math and physics?

That last one isn't as well-documented as the others.

But somehow, these biological facts are usually ignored by most intelligentsia in the United States. Whether Left or Right.; 3/22/13, 1:31 PM

Paralysis by analysis.

It's one election and he's certainly doing his part to feed the media narrative about Republicans.
====================
No, Republicans lost - all the minority and small group stuff like gays aside - because they lost the women's vote 55-45.

And the main reason is fear women have that right to life goobers from the ignorant sticks and repellant Santorums are going to control woman's choice matters, go back to Terri Schiavo zealotry, if Republicans are elected. Lecturing women they should be forced by law keep and love rapist's babies or give the thing up for adoption if it ever happened to them or their 13-year old daughter.
Braying to other Republicans that moderation on women's causes "betrays social conservatism and makes that candidate a RINO!!"

Or even if women don't believe it will happen, they dislike Republicans for wanting it so.

And this is not just the sentiment among women in Manhattan and Madison Wisconsin.

A human zygote exists for about four days.

I look forward to Democrats pushing legislation that limits abortion to just the first 96 hours after the sperm enters the ovum.

Because if you don't, one will suspect you know you are morally reprehensible, but lying to try to avoid admitting it.; 3/22/13, 3:08 PM

Nathan Alexander said...: Bagoh, you're still missing my point. Your Party is being taken over by extremists.

This is bullshit. I mean, I don't blame you for repeating it, because that is the liberal talking point.

But what has the GOP changed on?

Liberals have moved WAY left.
- Every major Democrat politician was against SSM just a year ago.
- Democrats have added partial birth abortion to women's right to choose
- Democrats have added govt funding to abortion rights
- Democrats have vastly increased deficit spending as part of their platform
- Democrats have pushed to return to 50s-era tax rates, to increase the progressive nature of taxes
- Democrats have added no-questions-asked, no-strings-attached funding to any/all green projects
- Democrats have demonized carbon-based energy and are actively driving carbon-based energy companies out of business
- Democrats have decided there is a right to "free" contraception
- Democrats have redefined "freedom or religion" to restrict it to "freedom of worship" only, and refuses to recognize religious exceptions
- Democrats are using federal funding to force States to fund Planned Parenthood
- Democrats have achieved National Health Care and refuse to address or fix its (now) obvious flaws

In all these things, the Democrats and liberals have moved left.

The GOP hasn't changed its stance on abortion.
The GOP hasn't changed its stance on attempting a balanced budget.
The GOP hasn't changed its stance on reducing spending.
The GOP hasn't changed its stance on attempting to keep taxes lower and flatter. The GOP hasn't attempted to lower taxes since 2002.
The GOP hasn't begun any military involvement anywhere since 2003.
The GOP hasn't changed its stance on abortion.
The GOP has actually become more racially diverse than Democrats.

...so how have any "extremists" taken over the GOP? In what area has the GOP moved rightward at all?

Answer: it hasn't. And no one can come up with even 3 valid examples of rightward movement.; 3/22/13, 3:21 PM

What is your point?

That it is okay for you to lie to support a morally reprehensible support for murder just because some people who claim to be conservative are pro-choice?

The GOP is a big tent. We tend to enforce ideological purity less than liberals.

Maybe they are socially liberal but fiscally conservative?

Why should it matter? A vote for the GOP is a vote against the tyranny and deception of the Democrat Party. We can hash out the abortion issue later.

The point is, the GOP is for expanding the human right to life, and even though there is disagreement how much that expansion should be or how far it should go, we at least agree in the direction.

All the GOP can do is offer an alternative, but if they can choose to be led by a resume of lifelong selfish failure over one of incredibly rare philanthropy and success, then what can you really do for them?

Yes. We do. Republicans have a bigger tent than Democrats.

I don't see any fiscally sane or Pro Life Democrats out there any more. Even to the point of life AFTER being born. The President as a senator came out against that.

And the good Democrat Dr. Gosnell is an example that it is an actual problem of murdering children. But, in the opinion of our President ... they did pay for an abortion. So why pass laws if the child happens to be actually born alive? Kill the kid anyway.; 3/22/13, 5:37 PM

LMAO.

To repeat: "'Big Tent' --are you f'n' kidding me? There is no big tent. There is no big tent in either party. There. is. no. big. tent."

There are bases. There are activists. There are power brokers. There are still two national parties (and for the foreseeable future). And there are many other things. What there is NOT is any damn big tent as far as the eye can see.

Because those jerks control the primaries in many states. And they cheer the Akins and Randolph Terrys and Santorums and Bachmanns like mad.

To them, Ronald Reagan, if he wasn't so blindly revered - would be called a stinking lousy RINO who betrayed Barry Goldwater and The John Birch Society - if they examined his policies.; 3/22/13, 6:39 PM

----Just like Obama and the rest of left have denied person-hood to them and granted it to everyone who has been cut from their umbilical cord.

Deciding when a person is alive is not above President Nigger's pay grade. They are now within the purview of the entire federal government, including Stepin Fetchit, courtesy of Roe v. Wade.

I tend to agree with you Ken.

I'll stick with the Christians who went into the sewer to save the kids. We should measure how good our society is by how we care for the children we now clap ourselves on the back for killing. Like the children of poor.

It is just a sales technique to evangelize eugenics. "If you kill poor kids you have less problems." Of course they don't put it exactly that way. That would be a poor sales pitch. They rather say "Help the moms and society by having fewer kids they can't raise anyway" or "They [ie: poor / blacks / christians / conservatives / jews / irish / or whoever] should not reproduce."

PS. Eugenics suck. A good book to read is "Eugenics and Other Evils".; 3/22/13, 8:53 PM

So, Inga, what is the logic for granting personhood only after 3 months?

There can be no such logic.

It is just the desire of an adult to not be burdened with a child. Professor Singer is at least consistent in his arguments to kill newborns and toddlers.

But in the end the "personhood" argument is not based in biology. But rather self interest for independence from a child. Either a society's independence (which is what Eugenics really is) or a parent's independence.

So we slap on dates of 3 months or 6 months or full term or newborn or 1 years old or ...

Biologically none hold water. We just want the same "Freedom" as the Romans. To toss our responsibilities into the sewer.

And this argument then moves onto adults at the end of their lives. Just as Professor Singer struggled with being partially responsible to care for a mother with Alzheimers. And with the desire to kill her.

Oh life would be so much easier to just kill the baby boomers when they get feeble. Would it not?

I wonder if the baby boomers will be OK with our definition of feeble though.; 3/22/13, 9:13 PM
