Insubordination

As I discussed before, public schools are much more reactionary than a publicly funded institution should be. Students are trained to not stand up against injustices that don't involve them. Another example is the offense of "insubordination". Let me break that word down:

in: no, not
sub: below, under, lower, beneath
ordin: rank, class
ation: act, state

The act or state of not belonging to a lower rank or class.
Equality. How terrible!

URGENT: House to Allow the Promotion of Abortion Abroad

June 9, 2009

Dear supporter,

Earlier this year, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told Congress that she believes that reproductive rights are a fundamental policy goal and that abortion is a reproductive right.

Under Clinton’s leadership at the State Department, the newly created Office of Global Women’s Issues will carry out her vision by advancing the legalization of abortion in pro-life nations around the world.

This means that your tax dollars will help promote pro-abortion laws in countries around the world, particularly in the Third World.

Americans should respond to women's needs in foreign countries with real assistance that upholds their dignity, not by promoting or paying for abortions.

Please tell your representative to vote No on the State Authorization bill!

Pro-Life hero, Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), tried to offer an amendment that would prohibit the Office of Global Women’s Issues from promoting abortion, but the pro-abortion majority on the Rules Committee blocked this amendment from ever reaching the House floor.

Alice Paul, an early feminist, once said that "Abortion is the ultimate exploitation of women."

We must not allow Secretary Clinton to exploit vulnerable women and children by spreading abortion in other countries.

Please contact representative today and tell them that we cannot export abortion overseas. Tell them to vote against the State Authorization bill.

Thank you for all you do for the unborn boys and girls around the world!

For Life,

Marjorie Dannenfelser
Susan B. Anthony List President

P.S. Thank you for caring enough to get involved. Would you please consider giving a small gift to the Susan B. Anthony List to support our Stop the Abortion Bailout campaign? With your help, we can make a difference for Life!


P.P.S. Don't miss a thing -- add information@sba-list.org to your safe senders list.

First Gitmo Detainee Transfered

Finally. I'm glad we have a president who respects our American values and basic human rights.

Now if only he would release those photos...

Bourgeois Media

This is my third post on the media's biased coverage of the mediaa's biased coverage of the Tiller assassination. And I realized the reason.

I only have to pst once a day. News channels have to fill 24 hours. And they pick the most sensational angle because it gets viewers and, by extention, money.

This is just another place where quality of product is diminished by capitalism. You could make it out of metal, or you could make it out of cheap plastic and they'll buy another when it breaks. Which would you do? You could pay up, or you could take their money and deny all of their insurance claims. Which would you do?

Appeals to emotion

Coathangers and difficult choices do not a justified homicide make.

Imagine a news story. A poor man kills his daughter for the insurance money. Is this justified? No. Does the distress lessen the offense to manslaughter? Yes*. Does he deserve social services? Yes.

Imagine another news story. Man rapes woman. Woman fights back. Man gets AIDS from woman.

Now, the man fears he'll get arrested if he he goes to the hospital. The wounds get infected and he dies. This death could've been prevented had rape been legal and regulated. Yet do we decry the anti-rape laws? Do we say rape should be legal?

No.

*Depending on how good his lawyer is.

MSNBC


Ah, don't you just luuurve the media's selective reality?

MSNBC just did a segment on the investigation of Tiller's assassination. In an example of how fair and balanced they are, they did not bring a guest from the pro-life movement to explain how the entire movement is abhorred by the murder. No, they bring on a Roebot who likens pro-lifers to the KKK and says we have a "totalitarian impulse".

Tiller is "an innocent man".
The Pill's abortifacient properties is handwaved by saying the pill helps women.
Anything is justified as long as it is a hard choice.
The unborn apparently don't exist, and neither does the mainstream pro-life movement.
The argument is between the pro-choice and the anti-abortion (or even the "anti-choice").
The pro-life movement is incredibly violent.
The pro-life movement is NOT less violent than the civil rights movement.
The number of late-term babies killed yearly is
NOT a thousand times the number of abortionists killed in the last 3 dozen years.

This [crap] is borderline slander/libel.

On a more casual note

The taboo against nudity harms the suspension of disbelief if the "naughty bits" are always hidden by some convenient object. It also leads to any joke becoming funny if you reference the human body.

Bourgeios School

Despite being publically funded, and therefore a glimmer of socialism in this vast swamp of capitalism, America's school system is nothing but mini-capitalism.

Students are treated as no more than tools of the system, machines to do work. Individuality is discouraged in favor of mindless obediance. Productivity over people. "Be productive" over "Have a nice day". The students are the proletariat and the faculty are the bourgeiosie.

Indecent Exposure

Laws against nudity are expressly religious in nature, curtail liberty, and have no secular purpose. The purpose of the law is to protect the populus from violence and exploitation, and to provide basic services such as police, fire, health care, etc., not to protect the delicate sensibilities of the populus.

If there was a law against gay couples holding hands in public, or a law against purple socks, there wouldn't be such support for it.

Come on!

When will it stop? Every time this happens, pro-life groups condemn it. The criminals aren't associated with the mainstream pro-life movement, and this particular one seems to have had a mental disorder.

Spotlight Fallacy

The attention garnered by the assassination of George Tiller is proof of its abnormality. If this sort of thing was common it wouldn't be news.
