Despite my having issues with late term"ish" abortions it is a slippery slope to curb abortion rights in any way. All women will lose and with this "personhood" campaign going around we can now see how it inevitably even looped full circle to making President's Obama's new birth control policy a hot button religious liberty issue.
Aside from the benefits to women's health this policy presents it is mind boggling how little (it seems) the right wing subscribers know about American history. I am speaking about the general extreme right population that seems to accept that somehow the founding Fathers wanted to protect religious over liberty of the individual. It is perhaps a sad statement on education standards that I remember separation of Church and State being designed to prevent the discriminatory practices against Protestantism in Europe as well as the these practices being adopted by the very group that was discriminated against (Puritans.)
Perhaps I don't get it. As a lapsed “Cafeteria Catholic” most of my peers and family members gave no credence to Pontifical decrees. I believe in religious freedom. Staunchly as I myself belong to a “non-traditional” belief system but I cannot fathom why Catholic founded institutions, hospitals and agencies cannot simply allow for individual choice. I find it interesting though that Viagra is covered but oral contraceptives that serve a multitude of purposes one of which might be contraception should not.
In the attempt to rewind the clock to back alley abortions and when women were kept in their places the face of the angry WHITE man is showing itself.

The Dog Days of Seamus
By now we all know about Romney's love of dogs! As an animal lover I am appalled! His claims about how Seamus loved this is nothing more than personification with little knowledge or love for dogs at all.
Firstly, it is common instinct for dogs to love their "dens" and dens are very helpful for dogs that suffer separation anxiety. You see it nurtures the primordial nature of canines to back when they were wild and, as a training/comfort zone, there is nothing wrong with employing it for emotional security of the dog.
Now this is what happened. They all embarked on a twelve hour road trip with Seamus in his kennel strapped to the top of the station wagon because there was no room for him inside. Wait. I guess this is where Romney style economics comes in. With all his money was he just tooo cheap to rent a larger vehicle so that the dog could be with the rest of the family?
It is also unhealthy for a dog's eyes to be exposed to constant wind which is why it is recommended that windows be opened a little at the top when traveling with dogs. In addition the speed with which the car was going what was the wind chill factor? What about rest stops? Apparently this was not "productive" to efficiency because Seamus had gotten diarrhea which dripped onto the window. Romney (no more "Mr." for you, you beast!)pulled into a gas station and hosed the window and the dog down and then put the dog back into the kennel to be riding, dripping wet, at highway speeds.
No wonder you can't tell a corporation from a person when you treat your supposedly beloved pet in such a barbaric manner! I guess these are the values you taught your children too...that animals are commodities and when inconvenient it is okay to put them in the dead letter bin. HUMPH!
No matter what you say you are an awful human being. I thought so before but am convinced of it now and don't think animal lovers don't vote! We are part of the "fringe" you need to fear: animal loving, fair minded citizens! Now. Where is your tax return? The dead letter bin?

Thanks For The Memories!
With the help of the Republican candidates no one has to wait for the President or other democrats to begin their campaigns!
Bain is a thorn in Romney's side and there is no getting away from his overt support of real estate speculation when he stated foreclosures should run their course allowing "investors" (AKA speculators)to buy properties at a fraction of the cost so they can resell at a profit. This profit will be huge! For example if a $200,000 home is foreclosed or "quick saled" that home might, for example be sold for $75,000 and then resold for $125,000. Years ago real estate ethics warned against speculators. Speculators were then white washed as this type of practice became "gentrification" which resulted in massive homelessness. As a New Yorker I witnessed this first hand. Neighborhoods that were communities became too expensive for people to stay and then became trendy with the ME GENERATION as their denizens.
Why were people in such shock about Wall Street and the loss of pensions etc.? We did after all have Bernie Madoff in our midst and this following the ENRON catastrophe during the Bush years. Excuse me but what were the penalties for those at fault? This story quickly slipped away even with leftist news channels as the noose was tightened around their throats! ENRON was an omen of what was to come and no one bothered to begin the checks and balances then. It was swept away under the rug of capitalist acceptable losses. Yes. Acceptable losses...as in war...as in class war.
Now Romney is calling the suffering many "envious." With voter suppression and immigration laws targeting certain ethnic groups the Republicans are campaigning for the Democrats. As they rally for pre-Civil War states rights under the guise of Lincoln and the Republican party of the time being abolitionists they cloak the real meaning of states' rights as it pertains to today: let's go back to back street abortions, decide who votes and who doesn't and who, based on how someone looks, is an illegal alien.
Keep talking because by the time you are finished the Democrats and President Obama will have nothing much left so say.
