Republicans are so desperate to discredit and defeat Obama that they are not only resorting to attacking the 19 amendment to deny women the right to autonomy with regards to their bodies, they are also attacking the voting rights of minorities. See this story for an explanation:
Republican’s war on women, or pro-life…
The Republicans have been arguing that all life is precious. This is the reason they’ve been pushing laws banning abortions and curtailing access to birth-control. While I’m willing to agree to the validity to the statement that life is precious, I don’t believe that they’ve properly thought through the implications of their arguments.
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything to my blog, but since this is an election year, I’m going to outline my ideas and thought based on what I’ve read, heard, and seen on the news. I’m not following any set pattern; this is a near stream-of-consciousness record of my ideas and thoughts just to help me set in my mind how I feel about the issues as they are presented.
There will be no links to facts or articles. I am presenting these ideas using my own feelings of what I think is right and wrong, based on my experiences. If people agree, great, if not, I’m sorry. I’m not going to argue. I accept the fact that people have different opinions, that’s their basic right as a person, and will not harbor any ill feelings because of that, AND have expectations that others are adult enough to accept that fact themselves. Comments left will be strongly monitored. While I will allow counter-arguments to be left, I will not respond to them. Anything offensive will be deleted with extreme prejudice.
Ran across this article, “‘Matrix’-Style Effortless Learning? Vision Scientists Demonstrate Innovative Learning Method“, and thought I’d throw it out there as food for thought.
It seems that presidential candidate Rick Perry favors sending US troops into Mexico to start yet another war front, this time with the drug cartels south of the border.
What? Start yet a fourth war front??? Yes, I said fourth war front.
Let’s review. The first war front is that against the American citizens themselves. The government has declared war against it’s own citizens through the DHS. The constant ethical and citizen rights violations perpetrated by the DHS against citizens in the name of security are easily followed in the news. The last episode was once again a violation of the dignity of a cancer survivor who had medical documentation stating the issue. This was supposed to alert the DHS agents to a problem that’s been documented with some of the medical treatments and reconstructive techniques for cancer survivors. While I understand the caution agents are expected to exercise, it seems that they can’t be bothered to use even a modicum of good customer service and listen to the person being molested. Once again they can’t be bothered to prove that they’ve human beings; that they’re nothing more than sociopaths given free reign to practice their anti-social behavior against innocents.
The second front is Iraq, and the third is Afghanistan. Nothing more need be said here. And now Rick Perry is willing to sponsor a fourth front in Mexico itself. I understand that the drug war in Mexico is right on our door-step. But I’m not sure that the Republican party much less their Tea party SS dogs understand the difference between assistance and invasion.
And this doesn’t even consider the world-wide war front that some feel justifies violating the sovereignty of other nations while pursuing terrorists or enemy combatants. I won’t into how this hurts America’s credibility overseas and jeopardizes the lives and rights of citizens abroad.
