While there is not enough space in this essay to treat of abortion, let me explain briefly that I believe unequivocally, on the basis of uncontroversial scientific facts and a sound anthropological ontology, that a unique, whole, and individual human being is created at conception. For an exhaustive explanation and defense of this belief, let me refer you to my essay entitled: "The Abortion Debate: A Reasoned, Scientific, Pro-Life Argument."
The relentless propaganda to the contrary, dehumanizing and miscategorizing human fetuses, is reminiscent of and similar to the Nazi campaign of dehumanization to justify their brutal treatment of helpless minorities like the Jews. The experimentation carried out on stem cells extracted by destroying human embryos, is chillingly like the medical experimentation carried out by Nazi scientists on their victims.

Hitle/Obama comparisons: Is Barak Obama like Adolf Hitler or the Nazis?
America's Holocaust
So President Obama does not deserve a comparison to the Nazis because the Nazis perpetrated a genocide? Pardon me, sir- isn't Mr. Obama perpetuating a genocide!? He has been accurately described as "the most extreme pro-abortion candidate ever to seek the office of President of the United States. He is the most extreme pro-abortion member of the United States Senate. Indeed, he is the most extreme pro-abortion legislator ever to serve in either house of the United States Congress."

OK, Lina, you invited it by posting your comparison of Bush to Hitler. Now, let us enjoy the same liberty by doing exactly the same , but with your favorite president. (H)

Who is this?
He wants to take power during economic turmoil, while promising hope for the nation’s future.
Wants to clamp down on big business.
Blames all the problems on those who are successful, sayingthey’re greedy and selfish and their wealth needs to be Robin Hoodedaway from them and given to others not as fortunate.
Proclaims that the evils of capitalism led to the currenteconomic crisis, saying that the current system exploits the“economically weak”.
Gives speeches where, no matter the actual words or topics,people leap to their feet, yelling and screaming in praise. He usesspecifically chosen words and catchy phrases to excite the masses,while offering no real solution.

Accuses opponents of being right extremists who will increase the wealth gap to maintain control over the working class.
Appeals largely to the young, ignorant, and impressionable population.
Mandates that citizens have a requirement of civil service.
Wants tighter gun control.
Grew up in a country other than the one in which he wants to rule.
Wants innovation to originate from government, rather than from the private sector


If you said either Adolf Hitler or Barack Hussein Obama you would be correct.

And it's not even that I agree with this, but just to show you that you can find all kind of crap on internet.
So, let's stick to the more factual information, like that Hitler was a socialist. Period. And that most tyrannical regimes in the world start with the socialist ideas.

Maria, isn't that what I frequently say to you? not very original...
I don't really blame you... tossing around these grossly exaggerated characterizations such as Hitler, dictator, enemy of the state...clearly just remnants of your Soviet upbringing. the party has taught you well.

OK, Lina, you invited it by posting your comparison of Bush to Hitler. Now, let us enjoy the same liberty by doing exactly the same , but with your favorite president.

Maria and then you have the audacity to question my reading comprehension skills??? are you f'n kidding me? my posts were written directly in response to your andSvetlana's moronic posts... and primarily to undescore their absurdity. but thank you for further proving my point.

Svetlana, I have a question about abortions:
when all those unwanted children are born into poverty, whose responsibility it is to provide for them? If you guys want to minimize welfare, cut most taxes, etc?
Are pro-lifers ready to adopt all those unwanted children?
Or is the agenda is just to bring them to a moment of birth, and then - despise welfare mothers just like they were despised before, along with all the other poor?
I actually think that abortion, although tragic, always sad, and always undesirable, and preferably avoidable by education, birth control, etc .... in many cases is the most responsible choice on part of families and mothers who are struggling and are not able to provide for those children.
For as long as we don't have a system of equally providing for all children ( since children are not responsible for their parent's idiocy, misfortunes and sins) - there should be this choice.

For as long as we don't have a system of equally providing for all children
Any policy instituted for the good of all, will lead to over-taxation, wealth decrease, lack of personal responsibility and cradle to grave government!!!

Not for the good of all, but for the good of all CHILDREN.
one needn't look further then a very real possibility of own severe disability at a young age and children being left with very little....
You can argue - well, there are family members, grandparents, aunts,....whatever, however, this is very real and very common situation. I am not even talking about people being unemployed for extended periods of time, or simply lacking skills for employment that pays reasonably well. In those situations children suffer the most. I don't care about able-bodied adults, really.... but children should be provided with opportunities to achieve the best they can achieve - any society benefits from this in the long run. And they shouldn't suffer because of their parent's problems.
now I'm sounding like broken record:-)

Are pro-lifers ready to adopt all those unwanted children?
You bet! Why do you think those unfortunate couples who can't have children of their own, but really want to have a family, pay tens of thousands of dollars and go to Russia, China, Africa, Haiti??? Because there is not enough of newborns for adoption in America.:-|

Maria and then you have the audacity to question my reading comprehension skills??? are you f'n kidding me?
NO, I 'm not f'n kiddin you. You have no clue what you are talking about. Cheers.

maybe you should cut back on those, and then before you'll know it, things will start making sense again. (C)

Очередной идиотизм от нашего бездарного президентишки.
А то ему маловато кажется, что безработица среди Американской молодёжи всего 20 %. Нужно сделать, чтобы было как в Европе , все 40%.
The Obama administration recently decided to fight a war over the useof interns, arguing that for-profit corporations offering spaces forinterns are really attempting to avoid minimum-wage laws. Apparently,that “for-profit” distinction was deliberate, although somewhatinexplicable; after all, if internships are exploitative, does itreally matter whether the exploiter makes a profit? The worker stilldoesn’t get paid in cash for their efforts, which is supposedly thecore of the objection.

The unemployment rate among teenagers and college students is at 26percent, and if companies are forced through government regulation topay these interns, companies will look re-work their budgets to be incompliance, and less students will be offered internships. This meansless students can be brought in and gain valuable experience in a workplace environment. The federal government is attempting to change theentire point of gaining work place skills and create yet another under– served demographic of victims falling prey to private sectorcompanies.
It is amusing to see the Obama administration creating the image ofpoorly treated unpaid interns, when Mr. Obama’s Organizing for America offered internships to help elect the president in during his presidential campaign and are still offering up unpaid internships today. The Summer organizing program also does not even offer food, transportation, or housing stipends[.]

This meansless students can be brought in and gain valuable experience in a workplace environment.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
the only value of this experience, is in what it adds toones resume... internsare usually asigned tedious, meaningless tasks, learn very little, and contribute even less.

I have been an intern, I have worked alongside interns (we mostly did crossword puzzles together -when he wasn't busy gaining valuable corporate experience organizing boxes and making copies), and I trained interns... So believe me Maria, out of the two of us, I'm the only one with a clue.

Must be really useless job you did. Sorry for you and for the interns that were assigned to you.:-(
Young people in my family were a lot more fortunate , and got a very valuable unpaid internship over a few summers. (Y)

Not for the good of all, but for the good of all CHILDREN.
Julia, I have a question for you then - since we have all the wonderful help for the misfortunate kids and their parent have the "choice" available, can you honestly say that the kids in this country have gotten better? or on the contrary, has it contributed to the culture of irresponsibility??

the job wasn't useless... but what you don't seem to understand is that in a busy, fast paced(frequently undrestaffed) corporate environment, very few people have the time and the desire to waste weeks training someone who's only going to be there a month or two. consequently, most interns are stuck doing pretty mindless (for the most part)work.

so if you're going to feel sorry for anyone, feel sorry for your own ignorance and narrow mindedness. (F)

********article.nationalreview.com/430938/tax-season/mark-steyn?page=2
Mark Steyn Tax Season
According to theTax Policy Center, for the year 2009, 47 percent of U.S. householdswill pay no federal income tax. Obviously, many of them pay other kindsof taxes — state tax, property tax, cigarette tax. But at a time ofmassive increases in federal spending, half the country is effectivelymaking no contribution to it, whether it’s national defense or vitalstimulus funding to pump monkeys in North Carolina full of cocaine(true, seriously, but don’t ask me why). Half a decade back, it wasjust under 40 percent who paid no federal income tax; now it’s justunder 50 percent. By 2012, America could be holding the first federalelection in which a majority of the population will be able to votethemselves more government lollipops paid for by the ever shrinkingminority of the population still dumb enough to be net contributors tothe federal treasury.

2. In less than aquarter-millennium, the American Revolution will have evolved from “Notaxation without representation” to representation without taxation. Wehave bigger government, bigger bureaucracy, bigger spending, biggerdeficits, and bigger debt, and yet an ever smaller proportion ofcitizens paying for it.
The top 5 percent of taxpayerscontribute 60 percent of revenue. The top10 percent provide 75percent. Another40-odd percentmake up the rest. And half are exempt.

3.It isn’t even“spreading the wealth around,” as then-senator Obama put it in anunfortunate off-the-prompter moment during the 2008 campaign. Rather,it’s an assault on the moral legitimacy of the system. If you acceptthe principle of a tax on income, it might seem reasonable to excludethe very poor from having to contribute to it. But in no meaningfulsense of the term can half the country be considered “poor.” UnitedStates income tax is becoming the 21st-century equivalent of the“jizya” — the punitive tax levied by Muslim states on their non-Muslimcitizens: In return for funding the Islamic imperium, the infidels werepermitted to carry on practicing their faith. Likewise, under theAmerican jizya, in return for funding Big Government, the non-believersare permitted to carry on practicing their faith in capitalism, smallbusiness, economic activity, and the other primitive belief systems towhich they cling so touchingly.

4.In the Islamicworld, the infidel tax base eventually wised up. You can see itliterally in the landscape in rural parts of the Balkans: Christiantradesmen got fed up paying the jizya and movedout of the towns up into remote hills far from the shakedown crowd. Inless mountainous terrain where it’s harder to lie low, non-Muslimsfound it easier to convert. That’s partly what drove Islamic expansion.Once Araby was all Muslim, it was necessary to move on to the Levant,and to Persia, and to Central Asia and North Africa and India andEurope — in search of new infidels to mug. Don’t worry, I’m not soinvested in my analogy that I’m suggesting the Obama-Reid-Pelosishakedown racket will be forced to invade Canada and Scandinavia. For one thing, pretty much everywhere else got with theBig Government program well ahead of America and long ago figured outall the angles: Two-thirds of French imams are on the dole

5.In the Stockholmsuburb of Tensta,20 percent of women in their late 40s collectdisability benefits. In the United Kingdom, 5 million people — a tenthof the adult population — have not done a day’s work since the NewLabour government took office in 1997.
America has a ways to go in catching up with those enlightenedjurisdictions, but it’s on its way.Rep. Paul Ryan pointed out recentlythat, by 2004, 20 percent of U.S. households were getting about 75percent of their income from the federal government.As a matter of practical politics, how receptive would they be to apitch for lower taxes, which they don’t pay, or lower governmentspending, of which they are such fortunate beneficiaries? How receptivewould another fifth of households, who receive about 40 percent oftheir income from federal programs, be to such a pitch?

We are now not merely disincentivizing economic energy but activelywaging war on it. If 51 percent can vote themselves governmentlollipops from the other 49 percent, soon 60 percent will be shakingdown the remaining 40 percent, and then 70 percent will be sticking itto the remaining 30 percent. How low can it go? When you think aboutit, that 53 percent of American households props up not just thiscountry but half the planet: They effectively pick up the defense tabfor our wealthiest allies, so that Germany, Japan, and others canmaintain minimal militaries and lavish the savingson cradle-to-grave entitlements. A relatively tiny group of people iswriting the check for the entire global order. What proportion of themwould need to figure out that the game’s no longer worth it to bringthe whole system crashing down?

Just to re-emphasize:
53 percent of American households props up not just this country buthalf the planet: They effectively pick up the defense tab for ourwealthiest allies, so that Germany, Japan, and others can maintainminimal militaries and lavish the savings on cradle-to-graveentitlements.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
just because someone didn't have enough income to file a federal tax return, doesn' automatically make them eligible for "government lollipops"... and many of those who supposedly pay for these "lollipops" also happen to be direct (and indirect) beneficiaries of government assistance...

LIFE AS A LEFTIST

1.After much consideration, I have decided to become a leftist. Here's why:
As a leftist, I have a right to a living wage. I was born with this right and under the system of social justice Obama and friends are implementing, rich fat cats are under an obligation to pay for my rights.
As a leftist, I also have a right to free health care, a roof over my head, and food on my table. And as long as I keep voting for Democrats, this right will be protected and, hopefully expanded.
As a solid member of the left, I have the right to abort my baby, and even have other people pay for it. I also have the right to free (taxpayer funded) birth control and my boyfriend has the right to obtain sexual enhancement aids for free. Not that he needs them, but, hey, they're free.
As a leftist, I have the right to indulge in sluttish behavior with whomever I want. Not only that, I can describe myself as 'empowered' instead of merely being a tramp.

2.Being a good leftist, I have the right not to be insulted. My behavior is sanctioned by my fellow leftists and it has been decided that anyone who insults me is, by nature, a bigot, and therefore of no consequence.
I also have the right to redefine words. And the right to ridicule anyone who objects. Especially if they're white Christian males.
Best of all, I am under no obligation to back up my feelings with facts. We on the left understand very well that any and all criticism coming from the right is motivated by hate and therefore invalid.

As a leftist, I don't have to worry about the consequences of my actions. It is understood that as long as my intentions are pure, the end results don't matter. I want it known that I fully intend to donate my lottery winnings to those poor Haitians, just as soon as I win them. Please pat me on the back. (Wait for the cameras, you idiot!)

3.Being a leftist entitles me to marry someone of the same-sex. And my children will have the right to choose their own gender. And schools, businesses and agencies that don't accommodate our choices could well be liable for prosecution under the hate crimes bill. How cool is that?
I am also free to choose my own God, or no God. This is a no brainer, as everyone knows that Mother Earth is the source of all spirituality. So as long as I don't litter and I recycle faithfully, I can legitimately claim piety. And as long as I publicly confess my trangressions, there is no need to atone. Whew.
I am now morally justified in walking away from my home mortgage. Those greedy lenders will be left holding the bag. Maybe that will teach them there's more to life than the bottom line.

4.And the car I got under 'cash for clunkers' won't be paid for either. Its not my fault I couldn't pay for it. But as soon as I get my discrimination lawsuit settlement from my former boss, I'll be able to get it back. Or maybe a new one.
As a leftist, I need focus only on my rights, and their infringement thereof. The government has decided to shoulder my former responsibilities. And about time!

5.Life as a leftist is good. Having my needs and problems taken care of by the government leaves me free to indulge my inner child. I no longer need to be ashamed of my failures, as I now know that the deck has been stacked against me all my life and those failures were not my fault! I am now liberated and empowered. As an added bonus, I am a member of four different victim groups, which allows me to maintain the high moral ground. This is called social justice.
I never knew life could be so good. All rights and no responsibilities! This could only happen in America. And as soon as the U.S. atones for past sins to my satisfaction, I'll be happy to admit that America is not a bad place to live.

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :'(
Смех сквозь слёзы.
А ведь и правда, большинство демократов именно так рассуждают. :-|

" большинство демократов именно так рассуждают"
caricatures of Democrats do.
Normal thinking people just slightly more complex then that:-) .
But only slightly:-) .
On the other hand, we see talking caricatures every day in the likes of Glen Beck and Sarah Palin.(md) (md) (md)
I really hope thinking conservatives are at least slightly more complex then those caricatures.

everytime a lot of (md) (md) (md) appear, I can feel a lot of "complex" thinking.. :-) and why does the left always have a need to pick on someone?? .. before it was GWB, now it's Palin and Beck.. Obama is pretty much a caricature, an ideologue.. there is no thinking in him.. just following the agenda-ideology..
if I am wrong, can anyone (and I am awaiting an answer to this question since the past elections) name ONE, just ONE, accomplishment of his (as a politician, as a lawyer or as a community organizer) besides getting an affirmation action education and getting elected?? eagerly awaiting for the "thinking" people's answer.. (ch)

besides getting an affirmation action education

because becoming the first black president or president at all (without the help of daddy and baby brother), can hardly be considered an accomplishment.

oh, and speaking of Glenn Beck :-D
