Selene Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 They simply want to give the undeveloped human being a shot at living before a permanent undoable act is performed (death). The way they see to do this is make sure the mother has another conceptual referent--a visual one--for the act she is authorizing before she authorizes it. She will not be able to say, "Oops, I changed my mind, I want my kid back" after the act is performed. But for a certain amount of time, she will be able to authorize the abortion again.Michael:Interesting observation and choice of words that you used.It is interesting that the major argument against capital punishment that is advanced, is, that you cannot undo the act, un ring the bell, or bring the innocent human being back to life.However, that argument is not advanced to the "entity" in the womb by certain elements in the progressive left.Fascinating.Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caroljane Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I read that Rush's show is broadcast to the Armed Forces. I would love to know how the women soldiers like it. Would it depend on their political orientation?My 92 year old grandmother has been a fan for a good 20 years. I don't know how she feels about this latest kerfuffle.If you get a chance to ask her I would love to know what she thinks. 92, wow. When she was born women had just barely gotten the vote.Further to this, I came across a comment that said the average Rush listener is 67 years old! Maybe Gramma 9th is skewing the statistics!

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 There are a few sponsors of Rush who did sign off, but they did not do it from moral outrage. They did it from pressure like I said before.And that pressure has a name. See here:Revealed: Media Matters Operative Behind Rush Limbaugh ‘Advertiser Boycott’by Mytheos HoltMarch 16, 2012The BlazeFrom the article, this guy Angelo Carusone managed to influence Carbonite and is spinning that as a major exodus of "advertisers."But it's all threats and backroom deals. It has nothing to do with advertisers suddenly having a social conscious. Carusone is cute when he gives his method of persuasion (quote from the article which is quoting Carusone):For the most part, I let advertisers know where there money was being spent, where it was going, and what it was helping. They made the decision themselves.Right.And if you believe that works as an incentive to get a corporation to leave off advertising to a humongous audience of actual buyers, I can sell you the Washington Monument real cheap.How about this?: "I let advertisers know the hell I could rain down on their heads through Media Matters and the rest of Soros-funded media outlets and how much market share that will cost them, and they made the decision themselves." Now that sounds more like it.It would be great one day if one of these companies with a ballsy CEO records the extortion and presents it to the public.Anyway, it looks like Brent Bozell of Media Research Center is now starting a similar campaign against MSNBC--see here: Tell NBC to Clean House.btw - I still don't see Rush hurting for advertisers. Looks to me like he's going gangbusters. Carusone is more like a pimple on his butt than a real threat.Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selene Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 The National Organization of Witches, is bitching about Rush and has started a flush Rush movement in Missouri.This anti-intellectual bowel movement, which represents the apogee of their mental skills is calling for Missouri State Senator Steve Tilley to reverse his action to place a bust of Rush in the State capital alongside such other males as Mark Twain, Truman and Walt Disney: Missouri NOW's Flush Rush Campaign Republican State House Speaker Steve Tilley is poised to unveil a statue of Rush Limbaugh in the Missouri capitol building. Rush's bust would join those of famous Missourians, including Mark Twain, Harry Truman and Walt Disney. In response, Missouri NOW launched a campaign to Flush Rush. Members and other activists sent rolls or sheets of toilet paper with the message Flush Rush to Speaker Tilley. On March 19, Missouri NOW delivered some 500 rolls of toilet paper to Tilley's office. ==================================================================== NOW is a real classless act. Wiping them off the face of discourse would really be cleaning up the sewer of their organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selene Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 The left is already caving. Look at this:After Limbaugh, Maybe It’s Finally Time To Ignore The ‘Slut’ SlurBy Megan GibsonMarch 8, 2012Time - NewsfeedDespite the blah blah blah in this article, the tenor is pretty obvious spin to cover up the message that lefties can't use the word "slut" to attack anymore because too many lefites also use the word.This thing already backfired and if the backfire grows and Obama's super PAC actually returns Maher's cool million to quell the outrage the left itself stirred up, that will be a major PR disaster for Obama's campaign. But so is Maher in the current narrative.They're facing the choice between bad and rotten right now, and retreating while thumping on their chest and crying victory seems to be the best strategy.Michael The Left Really Knows How To Treat A Lady (WARNING! ADULT CONTENT!)Wednesday, May 23, 2012Meet teen Madeline McAulay, aka “psycho b**** c***” to the Left.Just ask 16 year old girl Madeline McAulay:Last week, following the intense North Carolina Primary, I decided to make a regarding the passing of the NC Constitutional Amendment “to provide that marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this state.” I knew that posting this video was going to be controversial, but I had no idea how vulgar the responses were going to get.How vulgar? You’ve been warned...“Hey, you really seem like one stupid c**t. That being said, I’d still let you wrap yours lips around my c**k.” via UniversalHourglass“This b**** is Psycho!” via TheAtheist79There’s much, MUCH more. All for a 16-year-old girl.Then there’s S.E. Cupp, a regular on MSNBC and Fox, an Ivy-League educated woman who leans right on most political issues. She’s no Ann Coulter—in fact, she’s barely an Ann Romney. Calm, cool and collected but—conservative. So this is what the Left does to her:The first liberal to say “That’s Larry Flynt—not us!” will have to provide me with a link to you denouncing Flynt for offering millions to anyone digging up dirt on Republicans on behalf of Team Obama and the Democrats in the past. Chances are—you can’t.Now watch this video of what an AFL-CIO leader does to a piñata with the face of SC Governor Nikki Haley:And I assume you remember how Boston liberals treated Sarah Palin when she came to town in 2010? Interestingly, I couldn’t find any references in these stories to Gabby Giffords...Click here for an excellent overview of the treatment of conservative women by liberal activists—both in the big-time media and down on the street. And I ask: Can you name any treatment of liberals women even close to this by the Right? Yes—Rush Limbaugh’s attack on the free-birth-control activist. I agree. Over the top. And it stands out, too, because there are no other obvious, similar examples.Of course, the best part of all this is that the same Lefties calling Sarah Palin a [ahem] and attacking teenaged girls are accusing the GOP of waging a “war on women.” You know, if we had an actual, independent mainstream media, someone might actually do a story on this blatant hypocrisy. =========================================The tolerance of the left and the so called "Velvet Mafia" never ceases to amaze me.

william.scherk Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) Reviewing this thread for new material on the Whoring in Congressional Committees (one of the embedded commonly-hated things raised in this thread) I come across some material evidence of The Left at it again. I am mightily ticked off at The Left, let me tell you. Annoyed would not be too strong a word.Let us look at what The Left has come up with in the context of this thread. I divide the tale into two 'competing narratives.' The caricature of the narratives is Objective: calibrated to achieve the full effect of Political Beer Goggles. Although most of us here are above average, handsome, kind and rational, we need to peer throught the holes into the fires of the furnace. We have to put on the goggles to even grasp what the hell the maniacs see when they peer out at the world.Firstly, the left operatives try to squirm out of an exposure of their ugly tactics before Congress. They trotted out their ready-mix tart to the phoney committee meeting, pressed 'send' on their leftist smart phones and ten minutes later the Mainstream Media (MSNBC, etc) trots out the pre-ordained 'shock' response. Rush did nothing but point out hypocrisy. The sluts and whores and operatives of the left tried to add something to take away the stink of their own shoddy manipulations. Having had their machinations exposed ("Pelosi, bring out the slut. Let's raise irrelevant issues and cry foul at normal politics. Let's milk this. Tweety, Rachel, MSM guys, see the memo from last week. Plan C. Go."), they simply uncapped the "bogus outrage" button and began repeatedly, annoyingly thumbing it hard. Gah.Secondly, the Christian-cult in control of Republicans pushed intrusive laws on women. They stacked a committee hearing on the Blunt Amendment. All committee members were male. All witnesses were men. All those testifying before the committee on Vaginas,Ovaries,Reproduction,Religion were men. Moreover, all the men testifying were cut-outs for the Christian nutters who are jammed nose-first into other people's crotches. Most American catholics want non-discriminatory access to birth control. For everyone. Not on the top-shelf of medical care reserved for Special Cases. Just plain fucking birth control covered by the same fucking policies that cover anti-fucking biotics. Only the nutter-wing of the Republicans gives a shit about your gonads.-- Does anyone need to tell us or give us goggles to see which side of the bread the butter is on, in Objectivish terms? I think not. But.Let me try this out on my friends here: 'Well, the left (I mean The Left) blew it. We saw their soiled knickers as they danced their slutty media dance after the Blunt hearings. They hijacked the hearings with their bullshit stunts. It was all planned in advance. The tired old slogans, the tired old socialist whores -- and the fresh-looking but equally-depraved young slut from Georgetown was rolled out like a pinata in a chair. A clear and present provocation to the Windbag.Rush (whom I greatly admire for turning a drug-dependency into a PR triumph) is a side-issue. Love him or not (I clearly love him, coming to love him late, but loving him nonetheless), Rush does the same thing he has always done. He did nothing 'wrong' or different from any given Wednesday in his long career on Talk Radio. He talks, he rambles, he goes wild. He shows his tits. Like Beck, that is what they pay him for.The rest is sewage trying to escape the lagoon, to outfall, and beyond -- not even fit for a salmon farm. I am sorry for having been briefly stunned by the left's (The Left's) theatrics, sound effects, fireworks and serried masses of robotic claqueurs in attendance. I was fooled, again. Like Pearson fooled everyone on earth. Fooled again, but by my own 'people' so to speak.If you OLers know, with me, just how deformed were my ordinary perceptions before I became aware --with OL benevolence -- of my Brave New World upraising up here in the hellhole, if you know, with me, just how far I have come to seeing without my customary state-issue socialist slave goggles, you would be surprised. Or not.So, there is not much more to say now.** My struggle to understand is over. I have simplified things to aid my understanding, and I have ripped the Canucki Lenses off my face. The Left plays dirty. There is no 'the right.' There are only individual Freedom-loving Americans battling a foul socialist plot to enslave each one before a final planetary doom.The 'right' do not need to coordinate their activities -- unlike the rigid Five Year Plans of the left (sorry), they are free and want to stay that way, of many minds and shades of opinion and preferences and attitudes. The LEFT is the nazi-like goose-stepping horde of Them, unified, breathing from the same tank, wearing the same masks and goggles, the same Little Red Book burned in their brains. Every last one of Them, a Leftist.__________________So, all my earlier blabbering about independents, women, vaginas, yadda yadda?Inoperative. Under advisement. Recalled for safety examination. Scottish Verdict. Whatever. That was then and this is now. We have a Party to get ready for. Like a good wedding, like a big fat gypsy wedding, this thing takes time and focus and committees and tears to prepare. I must release myself from the Slave Harness as I have freed my sight by removing the goggles. I must totter toward November like a new colt. What fun to ignore the actual politicking of Them and focus on the snacks and drinks. With Carol at my side in the Party Chair, we move forward, calmly, like pinatas.As I said in an earlier comment, the USA is the only game in town for social politics and libertarian issues. We have a front row but no blood spatters up here. We are fans. Fanatics even. And yet. And yet. Somehow our stunned overlords forgot about the Supreme Court and their Yoda-like minions. Along with our Royalist Slavery we now have pinko-libertarian 'rights' that clearly beat out the USA accross the board. To eternal shame or flames of remembrance or whatever.This is a bug, not a feature, our Canadian liberties, and henceforth totally irrelevant to the needs and wants and desires of The Party, whether with vagina or not.I now live for the Party. Not for The Left or the right. I am reborn.'___________________PS - this is where the postscript will go. I am re-reading Janet. She might have something about hegemony, discourse, Trog, radical branding, The Other, demonizing and especially The Narratives in one of her annoying blurts. I think not. But.If she did, I will add something more like WSS a little later. The turbines are whining, I think, but I have my earplugs jammed in deep from when I plunged in the outfall pool here at 12:36 pm Vancouver time. For some reason MSK's last post cheered me immensely. If I did not know better I would say he flipped on the party lights and turned on the Fountain Of Goodness. But.** Edited May 25, 2012 by william.scherk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
