Government sanctioned theft was so yesterday, how bout murder too?

As the country continues to devolve into greater and greater expressions of decay,  the drudgereport has brought to my attention that our fearless and reverred leader’s administration now plans to fund insurance coverage for any and all kinds of abortion.  Curse words are runnning rampant through my consciousness as I type, but I will refrain from that for the moment.

This is just one more example of the state trying to take the place of God in our lives.  Not only do they think it is their perogative to supply me with insurance, but they also want to kill my children.  It is not enough to say that they merely want to help me take the life of someone innocent should I so choose, but they are actively encouraging it with the implementation of this sort of policy.    These are the politics of death, the outworkings of nothing less than a Satanic and narcissistic worldview.

If the value of human life in this administration is based not upon that person’s intrinsic humanity, but upon the will of someone in higher power or control over that person, then this policy is only the beginning.   Your kind, but sickly grandmother is next on the list of disposable human goo.  Or perhaps you yourself.

There is only one person I can think of that would justify my tax dollars funding their murder, and he is not a baby, nor without power,  but he is definitely sick.

Last Day to Post in June

I wish I had a super profound and spiritually edifying reason to be writing this post right now, but the truth is, I just wanted to put something down before yet another month passes by.  Man, I  didn’t think it would be such a chore to actually take the time to write something on here.  Not that anyone is  drooling to read my latest bit of audacious pontification.  Well then…yes, I think that should about do it for now.  Until next time, and hopefully not until I have something better to say.

So Obvious a Child Can See it

I found this story posted in the comments section of a political blog.  I think it about sums things up.

A $50 Lesson
I recently asked my friends’ little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, If you were President what would be the first thing you would do? ‘

She replied, ‘I’d give food and houses to all the homeless people. Her parents beamed. Wow…what a worthy goal.’ I told her, ‘But you don’t have to wait until you’re President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I’ll pay you $50. Then I’ll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house.

She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, Why doesn’t the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?

Her parents still aren’t speaking to me.*

A Nation of Cowards

A picture is worth a thousand words.  Or in some cases, maybe a thousand lives.  It interested me the other day as I drove along the interstate that there are a lot of Pro-life billboards on display.  This is especially true as one drives into Minneapolis on I94.  Again and again you can see pictures of smiling babies and tiny little hands which effectively illustrate that babies in utero are more than a blob of inanimate cells.  They are  living human beings,  and it is as obvious as the day is long.  From just a few photos, an honest person can see this immediately.  But unfortunately, the debate doesn’t simply lead to the question of “are they living or not?”, but “can we destroy them if we can arbitrarily assign them worth or not?”

We’ve all seen the crowds of people standing in opposing frontlines, yelling and screaming at each other about who is morally superior, but one thing is always the same:  Pro-choicers, a disgustingly asinine and hypocritical label for those espousing such a viewpoint, never use images to defend their position.  Never.  This is because the truth of the matter is immediately shouted from the rooftops when visible representation is offered to the public.  You will never see a billboard on the interstate displaying a pile of babies in a back alley dumpster with the caption: “Abortion is a women’s rights issue” or “Fetuses are not living things”  Instead, those that hold these views must defend them in calloused, willful ignorance, apart from any intimacy with what the practice is.

The Prolife movment has done a good job of showing the public the pictures behind the abortion industry, but they could go even further. They should put up billboards with these depraved ideologies, and people would see the sort of thing they vote for everytime the issue comes up in the legislature.   The United States is not a nation of cowards regarding race, as the Attorney General recently said.  We are a nation of cowards regarding the unborn.  This is readily apparent when we refuse to look at the images that expose our wickedness to the light of day.

The Wisdom of the Free Market

“So long as effective freedom of exchange is maintained, the central feature of the market organization of economic activity is that it prevents one person from interfering with another in respect of most of his activities.  The consumer is protected from coercion by the seller because of the presence of other sellers with whom he can deal.  The seller is protected from coercion by the consumer because of other consumers to whom he can sell.  The employee is protected from coercion by the employer because of other employees for whom he can work, and so on.  And the market does this impersonally and without centralized authority.

Indeed a major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it does this task so well.  It gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want.  Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.”
