Margaret Sanger?

Today I read a book that was supposedly about eugenics. The ideas of both Nazi era racial hygeine theorists and long-forgotten bit players in the American eugenics movement were shown to have intersected at numerous points. The author's political bias was clear, as he joyfully pointed out that Presidents Hoover and Reagan had praised two of the American eugenics advocates. But one name never was mentioned, and this is a name liberals exult in. Margaret Sanger was an advocate for involuntary sterilization of the retarded and disabled. The organization she started, Planned Parenthood, was never mentioned in the book. That same organization is now America's number-one provider of abortions.
I don't know how you can write a book about eugenics that mentions Ronald Reagan, but not Margaret Sanger. Obviously, the author of this book had a selective bias towards Planned Parenthood. As for Estase, he knows that he will never vote for Rudy Guliani because he has personally given money to this despicable group of baby killers.

All Bush's Fault?

It seems to me that Democrats running for President have stopped giving an overall viewpoint about what they stand for. "I want to pull us out of Iraq!" "I want to pull us out faster!" "I want to pull out instantly!" Clinton says President Bush can't see most Americans. Obama says we're killing civilians with bombing raids only he seems to know about. The Democrats only seem to focus on Iraq. This is because they have created a mythology based on George W. Bush. Bush has been blamed for everything that has happened to the U.S. in the past seven years. The mythology says that only Democrats have good intentions, only Democrats are smart, only Democrats have integrity. The fact of the matter is that Democrats are cynical opportunists, moral hypocrites, empty suits. How can you claim to love children, and then turn around and vote for late term abortions? How can you call Republicans corrupt, and then talk about electing the woman who scoured Vince Fosters office within hours of his death? How do you claim to empathize with ordinary Americans, and then get a $400 haircut? How can you claim to want to fight Al-Qaeda, and then surrender Iraq to them?

But it's all Bush's fault, right?

Morton's Fork

If the persons applied to for a benevolence live frugally, tell them their parsimony must have enriched them and therefore the king may expect from them a liberal donation; if their method of living on the contrary be extravagant, tell them they can afford to give largely, since the proof of their opulance is evident from their great expenditures.

Corrupt As Hell

Mayor Daley has started a program to end homelessness in Chicago. The ten-year plan calls for the city to buy a new truck for each homeless person. The homeless people can then rent each truck for city use. Why not; it's what Daley's friends have been doing for years.

Free to Do What?

"Abstract liberty, like other mere abstractions, is not to be found. Liberty inheres in some sensible object; and every nation has formed to itself some favorite point, which by way of eminence becomes the criterion of their happiness."

Hypocritical Kos

The great folks at Daily Kos did themselves a disservice when they, on their own site, showed a picture of Senator Joseph Lieberman that looked like Lieberman was performing Clinton sex on President Bush. The photo was on Daily Kos apparently, and the fools showed this tasteless picture again in a copy of the O'Reilly Factor. The Kos people apparently thought this was some kind of real feather in their cap. Not only were they proud of smearing Lieberman (who only seven years ago was the vice-presidential nominee of the party advocated by Daily Kos), they were proud to share the O'Reilly response. I don't know what O'Reilly said (because I only have dial-up, being a poor Republican), so I suppose the Kosites felt they came out on top, and not in any sexual way. The liberals all tell us that Clinton sex, like all sex, is wonderful. They also tell us that homosexuality is normal. But they're all lying. They must think homosexuality is laughably perverted, or otherwise there would be nothing funny about joking that Senator Lieberman is a homosexual. Democrats don't really like homosexuals. Homosexual men generally have good jobs. They have no kids. Democrats like homosexuals because they pump money into Democratic coffers. I wonder what self-described liberals like Rosie O'Donnell would think of their brethren making a gay joke about a man whose worse crime is supporting our troops in Iraq.

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum

I don't think my individual opinions are very important, and I have no way of knowing what persons read my blog. Despite this, I will express my hopes and fears about the coming elections of 2008. The idiotic Richard Durbin will win reelection. Why do I know this? I know that Illinois Republicans are suffering a crisis of self-definintion. Illinois Republicans are unwilling to define themselves in a meaningful way. They aren't pro-life, but they aren't as committed to abortion as the Democrats. They don't want huge spending increases, but show little interest in means testing Governor Blagojevich's disasterous All Kids program.
Illinois Republicans show little interest in poking fun at the senior senator's lack of mental gifts. If the shoe was on the other foot, Democrats would make jokes about the idiocy of Senator Durbin. (If you don't believe me, look at leftist blogs and count the number of retard jokes made about President Bush.)

The Republican National Commitee is having less trouble, but still seems unable to come up with a candidate strong enough to make for a real fight with Hillary Clinton. Romney and Guliani are too similar to Hillary for their candidacies to win. A pro abortion Democrat versus a pro abortion Republican is nothing but a waste of time.

The Truth

The person who supplied the last blog quote was Mao Zedong. It's really not a good thing when people holding congressional seats sound like a discredited communist tyrant.

Take a Guess!

"U.S. imperialism invaded China's territory of Taiwan and has occupied it for the past nine years. A short while ago it sent its armed forces to invade and occupy Lebanon. The United States has set up hundreds of military bases in many countries all over the world. China's territory of Taiwan, Lebanon and all military bases of the United States on foreign soil are so many nooses round the neck of U.S. imperialism. The nooses have been fashioned by the Americans themselves and by nobody else, and it is they themselves who have. . .handing the ends of the ropes to the Chinese people, the peoples of the Arab countries and all the peoples of the world who love peace and oppose aggression. The longer the U.S. aggressors remain in those places, the tighter the nooses round their necks will become."

Who do you think said this? Bela Pelosi? Harry Reid? Hugo Chavez?

Collective Rights

"neither a general in war, nor a statesman in peace, could ever perform any glorious exploits, or do any notable service to the public, without the concurrence of other men's endeavors?"

"there is such a thing as natural society, which comprehends all men. . . ."

"Such things, therefore, being by nature common, should accordingly be kept open for the free use of all men; and of those which are our own we should always be giving something that may contribute to the benefit and welfare of the whole."

"Not but that a moderate desire of riches, and bettering a man's estate, so long as it abstains from oppressing others, is allowable enough; but a very great care ought always to be taken that we be not drawn to any injustice by it."

"There is no great difficulty in determining such cases; for it is certain, if you take away anything from another, though never so useless and insignificant creature. . . it is an inhuman action, and plainly contrary to the laws of nature. . . ."

"It [theft] ruins all manner of society and intercourse amongst men; since it is plain that if once men arrive at such a pass as to plunder and injure the rest of their neighbors. . . ."

"Should an ignorant body sell a quantity of gold, and suppose it to be copper; is a good man obliged to tell him that is gold, or may he buy for a penny what is worth a thousand pence?"

Madame Disraeli

I recently wrote a blog about the Darfur situation based on my reaction to a Ann Coulter piece called " If at First You Don't Appease, Cry Cry Again." Besides having an insipid title, Ms. Coulter's piece stated that the lives being lost to Muslim murderers should mean nothing to Americans, and implied that only soft- headed liberals favored our using force to stop the genocide.

The before mentioned blog was entitled "Ann Coulter Takes On the Micks," and was written as Ms. Coulter's supposed response to the Irish Famine of 1845-1848. Today I found a piece of writing in Robert Blake's Disraeli by its subject that comes eerily close to my Coulter blog.

"You must not mistake her jolly good nature as an evidence of feeling: it is merely the impulse of the Irish blood. Indeed she is so thoroughly a daughter of Erin that I never see her without thinking of a hod of mortar and a potatoe. Nature certainly intended that she should console her sorrows in poteen. . . " (p. 149).

Ah yes, the drunk Irish joke. It goes well with shameless politicos and self appointed conservative spokeswomen. Incidentally, if I ever have cause to mention Ms. Coulter in the future, I will refer to her as " Madame Disraeli."

Proud Member of the Iraq War Death Machine

I just looked at today's Daily Kos, and it's hard to avoid thinking that these people don't understand the real world. Not even a little. First, they included an article from a gay guy who was ridiculing Christians who encourage young men to avoid homosexuality. "I prayed with my priest to resist my homosexual urges. After we had sex." Oh, that's so funny. Way to be edgy, making fun of Catholic priests. That's really going out on a limb.

Then there was a lot of crap about Iraq. It was the usual Trouble-Free Internationalism. "Stop the Iraq War Death Machine." Of course, the gay guy who bashed Catholics would be a cinder if it weren't for the World War II Death Machine that, at the cost of several times as many dead Americans, destroyed the scariest threat to homosexuals and Jews that ever existed. It's almost like Daily Kos people think that Democracy exists because it just happens to be stronger, whereas it exists because millions of British and American 19 year olds died to defend it.

Then there were several French quotes. Apparently, stupid ideas sound smarter when expressed in French. Why don't these people stop doing drugs, and wake up to the fact that Al-Qaeda wants us dead?

Homeland Security

"Judging that he will have employed the most effectual means of being a happy and powerful king, not by governing the most numerous but the most moral people. He deemed of small sufficiency to have protected the country by fleets and garrison, unless he should at the same time enrich and ornament it with men of eminent learning and sanctity."
Erasmus

Illegal Since 1492

i just saw a photo of an illegal alien holding a sign that said, "All Europeans in North America are illegal since 1492." So anyone who isn't a pure mestizo needs to leave, apparently. And what about Africans since 1492? Everybody forgets that blacks lose their jobs to the flood of Mexicans. Communist guerillas kill Christians in Chiapas. If Europeans are so awful, why is it that no one sneaks from the EEUU into Mexico?

Involuntary Association, Part Two

It must be agreed that the ancient and original power of the people, which has been transferred to diverse types of kingdoms and commonwealths by legislation or custom, is maintained in governments by that same right that was originally in the people. And it is reasonable that the fundamental laws and customs of a kingdom or commonwealth be accepted as ancient boundaries, to be holy and inviolable.

Francis Bacon
Aphorismi 11

Isn't It Ironic?

Governor Blagojevich took power because of the actions of an unethical pharmacist named George Ryan. Now he wants Plan B to be distributed by pharmacists, even if that violates the pharmacist's conscience. Does this strike anyone else as ironic?

Blagojevich's best friend in East-central Iliinois is State Senator Mike Frerichs, who went to Yale, but can't find the city hall in Sidney Illinois. Once again, does this strike anyone else as ironic?

Ann Coulter Takes On the Micks!

It is no business of Great Britain whether or not the people of Ireland starve! These people are lazy drunks who never do anything but drink and copulate. It would be a violation of capitalism to send food to Ireland. Sending food to Ireland will do nothing to make Britain stronger or wealthier.
Great Britain should instead take the money that would have been wasted by the do-gooders on the Irish, and instead spend it on a new regiment to be sent to the Crimea. Britain owes nothing to the popish trash to the west.

Good Thinking!

In a manner resembling the use by Ruth Bader Ginsburg of foreign cases to make American law, German Judge Christa Datz-Winter ruled an abused Muslim woman could not recieve a swift divorce because Islamic Law allows men to beat their wives. Judicial Activism rides again.
