Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
Wisdom from my Hello Kitty of Blogging account:
The thing about abortion as a political movement, in America, is: It’s fair to connect it with other issues. Far too many people who claim to support choice but not abortion, have been revealed to support abortions, as in, more abortions. They want every abortion that might happen, to happen.
And for every 100 of those, there are 99 atheists, probably more. Which makes sense…but you’ll also find 99 people who believe in the global warming scam. Which also makes a certain amount of sense. You’ll find 99 people who support ObamaCare, which makes much less sense. I mean, think it out: You do not have a right to life if your mom wants to kill you, but if you DO make it out of there, you have a “right” to health care. How is that reconciled?
Abortion exposes liberalism for what it really is. Liberalism makes absolutely no sense at all, as it’s explained by liberals. You do not exist at all unless your mom chooses to carry you to term, but once you do make it you have a right to — health care, an ever-increasing minimum wage, lawsuits against restaurants that don’t built ramps to accommodate your wheelchair, special bathrooms for your transgender situation, lawsuits against wedding cake decorators who won’t accommodate your gay wedding, however much vacation time your union rep thinks you should have, public school education, etc….this doesn’t make any sense at all. You get more and more “rights” but only if you make it? Until you go through the breach you don’t even exist? If there’s nothing sacred about you, why do you deserve rights.
Liberalism makes much more sense if we perceive it the way conservatives perceive it: Your mom should be able to terminate you if she wants to, and she should be ENCOURAGED to do so, but if you somehow make it through then YOU should be encouraged to be a nothing. Public school should kill your sense of individuality, if you’re lucky enough to land a job you should be terrified of being sued by a bitter angry woman, or transgender, who thought you looked at her the wrong way. You shouldn’t emit any carbon, and if you do then you should be taxed until you can’t afford anything else. What the rest of us need to do with you, once you do make it through and are able to begin a life, is to make sure you spend all of that life in fear. Fear of saying, or doing, anything remarkable at all besides going to Washington and helping to ram through some “landmark [liberal] legislation.”
Liberalism is not about hope, it is about fear. It is not about the expansion of human potential, it is about the eradication of human potential. Abortion makes this all the more evident, to anyone who’s willing to pay attention.

“You do not have a right to life if your mom wants to kill you, but if you DO make it out of there, you have a “right” to health care.”
Oh I am so stealing and going to use that on my liberal friends. Freakin’ brilliant, Morgan.
- tim | 01/23/2014 @ 11:56Liberalism makes perfect sense, once you understand the way the Left thinks. The apparent dichotomy of abortion versus rights is dependent on ones premises.
We conservatives think human nature is immutable. The left doesn’t think human nature even exists. They start with the assumption everything we think and do and believe is the product of environment and conditioning, and morality is relative to the mood of the time. Thus, human “nature” can be engineered.
And that is precisely what they want to do. Brave New World had that view nailed, perfectly.
There is no point arguing with the left/progressive/liberal/socialist/fascist/atheist. They are immune to reason, since their means of drawing conclusions is not even evidence based.
Every one of them will swear the believe in science and logic. And every one will agree the Universe started with the Big Bang. But not one can tell you what caused that Big Bang or what immediately preceded it. The notion of consciousness (or God) as being inherent in existence does not even compute.
When thinking and feeling are confused, and used interchangeably, reasoned discourse has no hope. Instead, we need to think in terms of winning, not reasoning.
- rogersnowden@gmail.com | 01/24/2014 @ 09:08A thought came to me while reading an article the other day about the latest brouhaha over abortion.
Since Liberals seem to be the largest group supporting a woman’s right to an abortion, it would seem that they are, by and large, the group that would be availing themselves of this “service”.
So, by doing this, aren’t they simply killing off the majority of the next generation of Liberals?
