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.
The great thinkers believe the GOP has an image problem. They're probably right, but what purpose does it serve to announce it in such a way? The "biologically stupid" phrase was first used by the RNC as a reference to Atkins rape statements, was it not?
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. The two RTL goobers that were running for Senate went down in flames in Red State Missouri and Indiana after their RTL stupidity came up in the campaign.
I'll shit on the religious right. They've done their best to destroy the Republican Party (of which I've been a member for 45+ years) by turning it into a cartoon of 'conservative' thought.
Preibus didn't do that; they did it to themselves and to me and my party. If the GOP cannot marginalize the religious right, then it should splinter and kick them to the curb.
I feel exactly the same about the economically stupid things that Democrats say all the way to the top and nearly uniformly throughout. That stupid is actually indicative of who they all are, and how they govern in a real and important way.
The fact that one rare kind of stupid is the face of one party, and the real and common stupid is not the face of the other is entirely due to media bias.
Sort of o/t -- but I was listening to the story about the Lt Gov in FL who resigned recently because of links to some Veterans' group that was stealing from Veterans -- I think -- and they never mentioned the party of the Lt. Gov. I think this story was on WBBM in Chicago.
And she's a Republican!
Anyway, Priebus, to his credit, didn't whine about Media slant. It might be there, but if you're aware of it, you have to tailor your message so as to neutralize it.
When the President says we don't have a spending problem, how is anything anyone says on biology even close to that stupid or that dangerously irresponsible?
And Cedarford is right for a change that women voting is the problem when they pick the guy handing them more credit cards over the one saying we need to cut back here sweetie.
Women, once a force for restraint and responsibility, have actually equalized themselves to be less helpful than the men they used to moderate.
Did the chicken or the egg come first here. Did the GOP first say be self reliant in an age of no employment but Government free money for all, or did the Dems first say there are Rich people holding the people's money from them ?
Both happened at the same time.
The abortion extremists did scare women needlessly.
Democrats say "biologically stupid things" all the time. Just see their comments in Colorado about rape, Obama's defense of murder like Dr. Kermit and his band of liberal psychos, or any comment by Cedarford.
Being stupid and nasty doesn't seem to hurt them. I wonder why.
What Rience Priebus has said about the party is true. But... dude, you have been the chairman for two years? Telling us about it as all well and good. What have you done, and what are you planning to do in order to fix these problems?
Oh, you're going to double down on gay marriage and the party of small government will still push for laws that interfere with peoples' control over their own lives.
Of course, the RNC played no roll at all in last November's loss. No, none at all.
Why do you ask?
Corporate post-mortems serve a worthy cause, but even more useful would have been major players in the Republican Party kicking the ass of the Romney Campaign over things like circle-jerk contracts between the consultants, muuuuch better new media outreach to EVERYBODY, not just minorities, not hammering Obama on the deficit, Benghazi, etc, and, stupidest of all, not even campaigning at all for the last few weeks.
The Republican hierarchy wants to find someone else to blame, but the truth is both of the last two "approved" Republican presidential candidates ran bad campaigns.
And, if we're looking for Democrats saying "biologically stupid" things, our Fearless Leader has struck again (I'm surprised God isn't at war with us).
Inga - there is a difference. You won't ever see me spouting vile racist things when I'm in my right-wing mode. Neither when in left-wing mode. Oh boy do I have modes.
Erring on the side of life over choice. If you are going to take away someones rights by law, right to life trumps all others. Still erring in my opinion, but if a woman wants to kill her fetus, she can at least make the effort to take it for an interstate car ride first.
Edutcher it's time for "The Blond" to change your Depends.
Bagoh, to grant Personhood to a Zygote is so so intelligent. Why can't right wingers be reasonable? Why can't a fetus (baby) be granted Personhood after the first trimester? This move will make the Pro Choice movement more determined. Abortion after the first trimester becoming illegal, now has been set back, I don't know how many years.
As for Whores, he and his kind will ensure that Democrats win Presidential elections for many many years to come.

And Inga chooses to betray the principles of her chosen profession to demonstrate a great example of "biologically stupid things liberals said for $500".
I guess "First, do no harm" just isn't all that important when compared to complete and total selfishness.
Nathan, there are conservatives here who feel the SAME way I do about abortion. Abortion after the first trimester could become illegal if not for extremists in your own party. Granting Personhood to a Zygote will not eradicate abortion. It ensures that the Pro Choice movement doubles down.
Bagoh, you're still missing my point. Your Party is being taken over by extremists. You don't have any concerns that Priebus may actually have a point?
Nonapod said... The great thinkers believe the GOP has an image problem. They're probably right, but what purpose does it serve to announce it in such a way?
Maybe it's the only way to get Republicans to consider the consequences of nominating total fucking idiots.
As I said Nathan, there are conservatives here on Althouse that have said in numerous threads that they agree with my stance on abortion. But then again, perhaps you consider THEM morally reprehensible also.
Your Party is divided between two factions, I wonder which one will win?
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.
Inga said... Your Party is divided between two factions, I wonder which one will win?
The sick part is that the Democrats are not divided. They, like the President, support laws to protect psychos like Dr. Kermit Gosnell. Nothing better then making sure to *not* protect children after being born.
Edbutcher, there are very serious and important things going on in the world and this country,
Yes, and we're trying to keep people like you from fucking them up any worse.
And the name isn't that hard to get. Your Maoist "despise them ideologically" tack makes you look like a dork.
no one cares about the spelling of "the blond".
Obviously, I do.
Why don't you go take a nap and stop polluting this thread with personal insults and comments, so we can discuss things that affect us all as Americans.
I was about to suggest the same thing to you.
But where do you get off including yourself as an American?
I will ignore you for the sake of the thread and this blog.
As I said Nathan, there are conservatives here on Althouse that have said in numerous threads that they agree with my stance on abortion. But then again, perhaps you consider THEM morally reprehensible also.
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.
Your party is represented by Dr. Kermit Gosnell. You must be very proud.
Easy Annie A, I am NOT a moby, nor am I in bad faith. Look up the damn definitions of words, "law professor," before you use them. You'd think a "law professor" would think the "insults" she hurls would be at least "accurate."
Well done, but facts are really a pain in the ass, which is why no lefty will respond to that comment.
The GOP position in general has been good and consistent whether it wins or not. The Dems change to win, whether it's right or not. I don't blame either for our problems. Its the voters who have screwed up, and they who will pay the price.
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? Wait for the voters to wise up, I'm afraid. They will eventually, but at what cost?
Ah that silly Priebus. Ignore him, there is nothing at all to fix. Everything is OK, proceed, as you were.
No there most certainly is a problem. But the problem isn't the Republican party or Republican candidates, the problem is a hostile media that will exploit any opening to destroy Republicans.
The answer isn't to change Republicans, the answer is to change the media.
garage mahal said... extremists are the people that want to preserve traditional American institutions
Yep. Like Freedom. And Life. And Pursuing Happiness. Only extreme Republicans support those traditional American things.
Democrats. Not so much. They are more of the -- "Put down that soda! She paid for an abortion ... She gets an abortion. Even if the kid is kicking and screaming before you tossed her on the shelf!" -- types.
I do suppose Republicans aren't much for being a Party of taking pictures of your genitals and sending it to female coworkers. Or visiting underage prostitutes. Or being a Klan grand poo-ba. We tend to frown on those things.
So, if you are for those things. Then Democrats have a corner in their tent just for you!
Face it cons, the two-party system is done. Oh sure, repubs might keep the house of representatives a couple more years, and governors & legislatures in insignificant flyover places like Dogpatch or Wisconsin.
But it's clear we've seen our last ever repub POTUS and senate majority.
Inga said... So Mark, how do you account for the Pro Choice conservatives in your own Party? They exist.
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.
Was that before, or after, you lefties drown girls and murder them, betray the country by giving national secrets to the enemy, and rape women whilst being heralded as a feminist?
Dumbass babykiller thinks reality bends to her moronic mind.
There are plenty of Democrats that would be willing to look at limiting abortion to the first trimester. To continue to lie about what many many liberals feel about late term abortion is just par for the course for some conservatives.
"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.
Unless I missed the part where folks were looking to trade their litmus paper back in for canvas, which I am pretty sure I have not.
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.
There are plenty of Democrats that would be willing to look at limiting abortion to the first trimester. ---They support a platform of absolutely no limits on child murder happily. Their souls are forfeit.
what many many liberals feel about late term abortion ---Human life begins at conception. Pretending some "viability" test or some trimester test changes that is just hilarious dehumanization by the murderers and liars of the left.
The problem Republicans have is that in much of the country, they cannot be fiscally conservative and socially and militarily moderate against a Religious Right Base that screams any moderation on any matter is betrayal and RINO.
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.
This is true (FTA): you’ve got a party that hasn’t been deep enough in the communities on a permanent basis,” he continued. “So you can’t really play the game of defense when something is said, because if your relationships aren’t authentic enough in those communities.
Also Sprach Inga, ‘Bagoh, to grant Personhood to a Zygote is so so intelligent. Why can't right wingers be reasonable? Why can't a fetus (baby) be granted Personhood after the first trimester?”
So Inga's authorities are granting personhood now? I thought we pretty much got over that after 1945. Everything old is new again.
No Unknown, they aren't MY authorities. The Republicans in North Dakota granted Personhood to babies from the moment of conception forward, thereby circumventing legal abortion.
they aren't MY authorities. --Just like Obama is Not My President.
granted Personhood to babies from the moment of conception forward, thereby circumventing legal abortion. ----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.
Most of the women who have abortions should have abortions. They are like those women in Roman brothels who threw their children in the sewer. They should not reproduce.
So, Inga, what is the logic for granting personhood only after 3 months? What event occurs at that time that suddenly initiates an invasive tumor into the human race? What was the little homunculus before that?
ken in sc said... Most of the women who have abortions should have abortions. They are like those women in Roman brothels who threw their children in the sewer. They should not reproduce.
Inga said... 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".
Unknown said... 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.
Inga, I'm hoping you are getting something out of it, but why are you even stooping to engage on this subject with some of these people, and I use the term loosely?
Akin was the Democrats choice of a Republican to run against. That said his own Party officials made sure to sink him when just a littleresearch could have done some good. At the very least shutting up would have been a better move if the intention was to win the seat.
What they did do points to the intentions of the heads of the Party as being something other than winning political races.

It would be fair if a fetus could decide which state to be conceived in... or which womb.
Bagoh, you're still missing my point. Your Party is being taken over by extremists. You don't have any concerns that Priebus may actually have a point?

The great thinkers believe the GOP has an image problem. They're probably right, but what purpose does it serve to announce it in such a way?
Maybe it's the only way to get Republicans to consider the consequences of nominating total fucking idiots.
Inga, tu quoque is widely recognized as a logical fallacy.
What part of "First, do no harm" do you not understand?
And why are using the term "zygote" for humans with heartbeats and measurable brain activity?
Is that transparent attempt at deception your guilty conscience admitting you are morally wrong?
Inga,
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.
When will you make that a condition of voting Democrat?
Because if you don't, one will suspect you know you are morally reprehensible, but lying to try to avoid admitting it.
As I said Nathan, there are conservatives here on Althouse that have said in numerous threads that they agree with my stance on abortion. But then again, perhaps you consider THEM morally reprehensible also.
Your Party is divided between two factions, I wonder which one will win?
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.

The sick part is that the Democrats are not divided. They, like the President, support laws to protect psychos like Dr. Kermit Gosnell. Nothing better then making sure to *not* protect children after being born.
It's the Democrat way.
The Democrats are all baby killers. In that you are correct.
Their next standard bearer Dandy Andy Cuomo can't find a fetus he wouldn't want to abort.
Inga said...
Edbutcher, there are very serious and important things going on in the world and this country,
Yes, and we're trying to keep people like you from fucking them up any worse.
And the name isn't that hard to get. Your Maoist "despise them ideologically" tack makes you look like a dork.
no one cares about the spelling of "the blond".
Obviously, I do.
Why don't you go take a nap and stop polluting this thread with personal insults and comments, so we can discuss things that affect us all as Americans.
I was about to suggest the same thing to you.
But where do you get off including yourself as an American?
I will ignore you for the sake of the thread and this blog.
Oh, wow, golly gee, that's awfully white of you!
As I said Nathan, there are conservatives here on Althouse that have said in numerous threads that they agree with my stance on abortion. But then again, perhaps you consider THEM morally reprehensible also.
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.
Your party is represented by Dr. Kermit Gosnell. You must be very proud.
Priebus is a brave man, or a foolish one. Surely he knows what he's up against, all he has to do is read the comments section of Althouse.
Aw, look, Inga the bloody baby killer and liar, is whining that she can't kill a -day-old baby legally.
The man is keeping her old, wrinkly ass down!
Meanwhile, her dead husband is glad he's six feet under this hag and the mess she's caused.
Priebus is a brave man.
---Yes, it's so brave to kill babies. So, so brave. (/sarcasm).
Wait, I realize you are too stupid to understand sarcasm directed at you. So here:
It is not brave to support the murder of children for fun and profit. It is evil and cowardly.
Enjoy hell, babykiller.
Please don't talk to Whores. He is a moby -- and clearly a bad faith commenter and we are deleting him.
Easy Annie A, I am NOT a moby, nor am I in bad faith. Look up the damn definitions of words, "law professor," before you use them. You'd think a "law professor" would think the "insults" she hurls would be at least "accurate."
Moron.

Yes, because in the lite Democrats ever show some spine, people like the She Devil of the SS are screwed.
Metaphorically, only, of course.
"whores" is no moby, although I can understand why conservatives would want to label him that.
Well Garage, we can also see why you need to believe he's a conservative. Those stereotypes are really hard to confirm with real people.
@Nathan Alexander @3:21
Well done, but facts are really a pain in the ass, which is why no lefty will respond to that comment.
The GOP position in general has been good and consistent whether it wins or not. The Dems change to win, whether it's right or not. I don't blame either for our problems. Its the voters who have screwed up, and they who will pay the price.
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? Wait for the voters to wise up, I'm afraid. They will eventually, but at what cost?
What Priebus ignores is the fact that most of those stupid statements were gotcha moments exploited by a hostile press against Republicans.
The problem will persist until conservatives infiltrate the media and bring balance to the coverage.
Ah that silly Priebus. Ignore him, there is nothing at all to fix. Everything is OK, proceed, as you were.
Inga - the Democrat party was taken over by extremists in the 70s.
How else do you explain Geraldine Ferraro as VP in 1984?
Or the ERA?
Just who is this Priebus chap anyways and why is he so important?
Inga - the Democrat party was taken over by extremists in the 70s.
This accelerated in the '00's which is why they left me.
Chickelit, he's nobody, nobody at all, don't be concerned, all is under control.
Ah that silly Priebus. Ignore him, there is nothing at all to fix. Everything is OK, proceed, as you were.
No there most certainly is a problem. But the problem isn't the Republican party or Republican candidates, the problem is a hostile media that will exploit any opening to destroy Republicans.
The answer isn't to change Republicans, the answer is to change the media.
Remember, the extremists are the people that want to preserve traditional American institutions, NOT the people that want to destroy them.
garage now defines abortion mills at "traditional institutions".
garage - why do you like killing babies?
He's just some chubby little German boy from Wisconsin. Ach ja.
He moonlights as the Bratwurst at Brewer games.
Garbage Pail the Liar returns! His lies thus far:
1. Jesus was black (no proof necessary, proof by assertion).
2. Being a communist in no way means accepting the basic communist belief in wanting to overthrow the government.
3. Murdering children is not extreme.
Leftism by a liar, everyone!
The Bible says that Jesus had the hair of thick wool. Don't shoot messenger. Sheesh.

Yep. Like Freedom. And Life. And Pursuing Happiness. Only extreme Republicans support those traditional American things.
Democrats. Not so much. They are more of the -- "Put down that soda! She paid for an abortion ... She gets an abortion. Even if the kid is kicking and screaming before you tossed her on the shelf!" -- types.
Candy Crowley was coming very close to Aiken territory.
So Mark, how do you account for the Pro Choice conservatives in your own Party? They exist.
I do suppose Republicans aren't much for being a Party of taking pictures of your genitals and sending it to female coworkers. Or visiting underage prostitutes. Or being a Klan grand poo-ba. We tend to frown on those things.
So, if you are for those things. Then Democrats have a corner in their tent just for you!
But they do have a wide stance Mark, lol.
And they do encourage their mistresses to have abortions.
Oh and don't they like writing dirty little love notes to their pages?
In Inga the lying, murdering Obama whore's warped mind:
wide stance = worse than murdering children for fun and profit
Enjoy the decline!
Oh yes and they like to say they are hiking in the smokies, while visiting their mistresses in Europe. Oops.
Face it cons, the two-party system is done. Oh sure, repubs might keep the house of representatives a couple more years, and governors & legislatures in insignificant flyover places like Dogpatch or Wisconsin.
But it's clear we've seen our last ever repub POTUS and senate majority.
Inga said...
So Mark, how do you account for the Pro Choice conservatives in your own Party? They exist.
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.
Oh yes and they can lay claim to he who must not be named. You know who.
@Inga the lying, murdering Obama whore:
Was that before, or after, you lefties drown girls and murder them, betray the country by giving national secrets to the enemy, and rape women whilst being heralded as a feminist?
Dumbass babykiller thinks reality bends to her moronic mind.
There are plenty of Democrats that would be willing to look at limiting abortion to the first trimester. To continue to lie about what many many liberals feel about late term abortion is just par for the course for some conservatives.
Liberal New Yorkers do not agree with late term abortion push by Governor Cuomo
"How come you never hear prominent Democrats criticizing their fellows in the media? "
They won. If you remember, when they lost in 2004, they were falling all over themselves trying to figure out what went wrong.
"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.
Unless I missed the part where folks were looking to trade their litmus paper back in for canvas, which I am pretty sure I have not.
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.
WTF?
@Inga the lying, murdering Obama whore:
There are plenty of Democrats that would be willing to look at limiting abortion to the first trimester.
---They support a platform of absolutely no limits on child murder happily. Their souls are forfeit.
what many many liberals feel about late term abortion
---Human life begins at conception. Pretending some "viability" test or some trimester test changes that is just hilarious dehumanization by the murderers and liars of the left.
Like Inga.
Enjoy hell, bitch!
The problem Republicans have is that in much of the country, they cannot be fiscally conservative and socially and militarily moderate against a Religious Right Base that screams any moderation on any matter is betrayal and RINO.
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.
This is true (FTA): you’ve got a party that hasn’t been deep enough in the communities on a permanent basis,” he continued. “So you can’t really play the game of defense when something is said, because if your relationships aren’t authentic enough in those communities.
Also Sprach Inga, ‘Bagoh, to grant Personhood to a Zygote is so so intelligent. Why can't right wingers be reasonable? Why can't a fetus (baby) be granted Personhood after the first trimester?”
So Inga's authorities are granting personhood now? I thought we pretty much got over that after 1945. Everything old is new again.
No Unknown, they aren't MY authorities. The Republicans in North Dakota granted Personhood to babies from the moment of conception forward, thereby circumventing legal abortion.
@Inga the lying, murdering Obama whore:
they aren't MY authorities.
--Just like Obama is Not My President.
granted Personhood to babies from the moment of conception forward, thereby circumventing legal abortion.
----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.
Suck it, bitch.
Most of the women who have abortions should have abortions. They are like those women in Roman brothels who threw their children in the sewer. They should not reproduce.
There is no big tent. There is no big tent in either party.
Yes, but the Libertarians do seem genuinely interested in reducing the size and power of Government.
Oh, and apropos the subject of the thread, Libertarians have some pretty entertaining intra-party brawls, too.
I tend to agree with you Ken.
So, Inga, what is the logic for granting personhood only after 3 months? What event occurs at that time that suddenly initiates an invasive tumor into the human race? What was the little homunculus before that?

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".
Unknown said...
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.
Remember, the extremists are the people that want to preserve traditional American institutions, NOT the people that want to destroy them.
What the hell does this even mean, beyond the rhetoric?
Inga, I'm hoping you are getting something out of it, but why are you even stooping to engage on this subject with some of these people, and I use the term loosely?
Akin was the Democrats choice of a Republican to run against. That said his own Party officials made sure to sink him when just a little research could have done some good. At the very least shutting up would have been a better move if the intention was to win the seat.
What they did do points to the intentions of the heads of the Party as being something other than winning political races.
"Some very specific Republican representatives said some stupid things."
"Republicans say stupid things."
"Republicans are stupid."
Inferred media equivalency; they know their audience.
Great post and so interesting. Glad I stopped by, and continued good luck with the blog hop!
