February 2012

When they came for the Liberals
I watched it on CNN;
I wasn’t that liberal.

When they locked up the Muslims,
I did not care;
Religion never interested me.

When they came for the Mexicans,
I did not speak out;
I was born in America.

When they came for the Pundits,
I remained silent;
I wasn’t ever that angry.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

Is this the first blow to a unified Republican Party? Is a split coming down the line, and if it is, will the Democrats have a similar fracture?

The Text:

REPORTS have surfaced in the press about a meeting that occurred last Saturday in Salt Lake City involving more than 50 pro-family leaders. The purpose of the gathering was to discuss our response if both the Democratic and Republican Parties nominate standard-bearers who are supportive of abortion. Although I was neither the convener nor the moderator of the meeting, I’d like to offer several brief clarifications about its outcome and implications.

After two hours of deliberation, we voted on a resolution that can be summarized as follows: If neither of the two major political parties nominates an individual who pledges himself or herself to the sanctity of human life, we will join others in voting for a minor-party candidate. Those agreeing with the proposition were invited to stand. The result was almost unanimous.

The other issue discussed at length concerned the advisability of creating a third party if Democrats and Republicans do indeed abandon the sanctity of human life and other traditional family values. Though there was some support for the proposal, no consensus emerged.

Speaking personally, and not for the organization I represent or the other leaders gathered in Salt Lake City, I firmly believe that the selection of a president should begin with a recommitment to traditional moral values and beliefs. Those include the sanctity of human life, the institution of marriage, and other inviolable pro-family principles. Only after that determination is made can the acceptability of a nominee be assessed.

The other approach, which I find problematic, is to choose a candidate according to the likelihood of electoral success or failure. Polls don’t measure right and wrong; voting according to the possibility of winning or losing can lead directly to the compromise of one’s principles. In the present political climate, it could result in the abandonment of cherished beliefs that conservative Christians have promoted and defended for decades. Winning the presidential election is vitally important, but not at the expense of what we hold most dear.

One other clarification is germane, even though unrelated to the meeting in Salt Lake City. The secular news media has been reporting in recent months that the conservative Christian movement is hopelessly fractured and internally antagonistic. The Los Angeles Times reported on Monday, for example, that supporters of traditional family values are rapidly “splintering.” That is not true. The near unanimity in Salt Lake City is evidence of much greater harmony than supposed. Admittedly, differences of opinion exist among us about our choices for president.

That divergence is entirely reasonable, now just over a year before the national election. It is hardly indicative of a “splintering” of old alliances. If the major political parties decide to abandon conservative principles, the cohesion of pro-family advocates will be all too apparent in 2008.

Democrats once again go on a free speech witch hunt against all enemies….

Why the hell can’t they stop caring about the dissenters and start doing what we fucking elected them for. I’m not one that likes Rush, not even close, he’s inflammatory, exaggerates the truth, outright lies, borderline racist, and overall blowhard drug addict.

However, I will stand for all that exercise their right to free speech, no matter what they say. I think the KKK has as much right to protest for their beliefs as do Gay pride and anti-war parades. Congress has gotten it into their heads that it is acceptable and just for them to come down on anyone that speaks against the status quo regardless of political alignment. This culture of censorship and oppression is nothing more than Unamerican, and the liberal activist groups that lobby for a crackdown on Mr. Limbaugh are using the fascist intimidation tactics that are so familiarly used by Karl Rove and the like.

The use and functionality of a legislative body is nothing more than useless and pointless when it is debased by senseless bickering over he said she said comments. These kinds of revenge based actions are more commonly seen in a High School parking lot NOT the United States Congress.

But apparently we are all wrong. I guess children can now get elected.

Fuck you congress and your fucking petty backbiting.

Missing shipments and unreported exposures of anthrax, plague, Ebola, encephalitis, bird-flu, and monkey pox…. in America. No wonder we can’t find WMD’s abroad, you’d think the gov’t would want to find the evidence in Iraq, if for nothing else than to appease the American public but I suspect the don’t give a shit. They can’t even keep it from going missing in America.

These federally funded labs are inspected only once every three years. In 4 years there have been 100 reported accidents in 44 labs in 24 states with more than 24 incidents still being investigated. On top of that there are many unreported incidents.

This Associated Press article should inspire plenty of conspiracy theorists to suggest potential attack/vaccination/genocide theories, but it wouldn’t be the first time the government tested biological weapons on the American public:

extensive list

This is equally alarming describing the history of dumping WMD’s in the oceans, later to wash up on our shores, kill our fisherman, and contaminate the food-chain with heavy metals… ever wonder about the mercury in fish? I had another link some days ago but cannot find it now, perhaps I will add it later or someone can link some resources in comment form.
