Ugh. Don’t remind me.

Vinny’s dead-on with his latest post on the issue, entitled ‘35 Years of “Choice”’:

If you’re reading this now, your parents didn’t abort you. For all the people running around today pounding their chests in the name of feminist reproductive choice, none of them are abortion survivors. Unlike most medical procedures, abortion has a 100% success rate, and you’re 100% dead if one is performed on you in utero.

and

Just remember that as everyone proudly proclaims how they’re “pro choice” and how this is a great day for women everywhere. Pro choice is a euphemism for pro abortion. You either want abortion to exist or you don’t. It’s fine to be pro abortion if that’s your thing, but please stop laying the bullshit line about choice on me, okay?

Penn and Teller’s Bullsh*t! show, speaking about gun control and how useless it is. Needless to say, there’s language used. If that bothers you, then don’t watch it.

I’m not libertarian, but Penn & Teller make a lot of sense sometimes.

Yes, I’m a member of the NRA. I believe in the right (yes, a right) to bear arms. I do believe that if more people had concealed weapons permits, it would help, and not hurt, in situations such as the recent Virginia Tech shootings.

And if you’re someone who wants a concealed weapons permit, odds are you are one who is not afraid to use it in the appropriate situation. And that’s why there are rules/processes to obtain a concealed carry permit. Here in California, it is up to your local county sheriff to make the call.

Anyways, I get tired of hearing the same old baloney every time there’s some mass shooting in the news. Newsanchors/public blaming guns, lack of gun control, blaming video games, etc… God forbid we actually blame the thing responsible— the person who was firing the weapon!

Look, we have enough gun control laws. And criminals, murderers and general psychopaths just don’t care about those laws. If they want to harm someone, they’re going to. Regardless of what the law says. What if this guy had used a knife instead of a gun to murder 30+ people? Would we be hearing public outcry against the lack of knife control laws?

Guns are tools, and can be used for good as well as bad. Don’t blame them for what their owner is doing with them.

I suggest everyone check out A Human Right.

Ahh, the internet. It makes everyone a certifiable structural engineer, fireman, policeman, etc…

Forget Occam’s Razor. It’s clearly a government conspiracy! OMGZ!!!

Do a little research before using the conspiracy card, eh guys? And no, “Loose Change” doesn’t count. Check out “Screw Loose Change” to counter that. Next, please?

There is only one issue in this election that will matter five or ten years from now, and that's the War on Terror.

 

And the success of the War on Terror now teeters on the fulcrum of this election.

 

If control of the House passes into Democratic hands, there are enough withdraw-on-a-timetable Democrats in positions of prominence that it will not only seem to be a victory for our enemies, it will be one.

 

Unfortunately, the opposite is not the case -- if the Republican Party remains in control of both houses of Congress there is no guarantee that the outcome of the present war will be favorable for us or anyone else.

 

But at least there will be a chance.

 

I say this as a Democrat, for whom the Republican domination of government threatens many values that I hold to be important to America's role as a light among nations.

 

But there are no values that matter to me that will not be gravely endangered if we lose this war. And since the Democratic Party seems hellbent on losing it -- and in the most damaging possible way -- I have no choice but to advocate that my party be kept from getting its hands on the reins of national power, until it proves itself once again to be capable of recognizing our core national interests instead of its own temporary partisan advantages.

 

To all intents and purposes, when the Democratic Party jettisoned Joseph Lieberman over the issue of his support of this war, they kicked me out as well. The party of Harry Truman and Daniel Patrick Moynihan -- the party I joined back in the 1970s -- is dead. Of suicide.
