For seven years, the best investment for big business was to Bribe Obama. Give him a few million and you got government goodies far in excess to your cash. That's how Facebook and Google could buy up and destroy any competition.
1. she should have kept to herself. 2. if she's so self-important (and having such a bad day), she should have privately reported it to WMATA and left it at that.
but...
posting it on twatter? Get over yourself.
And to all those who are persecuting her? You need to get a life too. NEVER was race an issue with this situation, but they sure as hell stuck it in there as the Democrat Default Accusation. The publisher? Also an over-reaction, IMO. But...that's our social climate today.
And also why I prefer to deal with things like this face-to-face.
Because I enjoy pretty young women with no clothes, I DEMAND President Trump thank Emily for her protest! No, wait, she'd wear a burka, then. Darn. Never mind.
I do have to point out she's about a quarter correct.
Planned Parenthood is doing a "wonderful" job fulfilling it's founders vision. Killing the babies of the " lesser races" to promote white supremacist Klan Party dreams.
Southern Democrats have consistently voted rules and regulations to keep Black Americans on the Urban Vote Plantation, fatherless, high crime, racist law enforcement.
And keep filled the prison industrial complex to keep the bribes coming.
You might notice Klan Party controlled cities keep voting for more laws to keep the prisons filled, and by simple demographics, it sure looks like racist oppression.
You could say the same about the IRS, but without the racism, as they target all Americans with their layers of contradictory rules, imposed by generations of well bribed Congresscritters.
As to Emily's reason for being upset? It doesn't matter. Someone, maybe CNN, maybe her skin guru, gets her fired up, and she indulges her exhibitionism, and shows off her loveliness to our gaze.
I could wish her hairdresser inspired her to support the 1st and 2nd amendments with equal joy.
On abortion I have 3 questions. The pro abortion folk go into auto freak mode when I try to ask them, so I've never got any answer.
1. Term limits. Are there no age restriction on killing the kid? Obama and Cuomo voted for or promote killing the kid after being born alive in a botched abortion. So? The terrible twos? 18, the standard Age of adulthood in my day? Age 26 when they are no longer on the parent's health insurance? ( the new, older standard for adulthood ) 63? Any limits? ( none in Obama care )
2. Does only the mother have the right to kill her own kid? How about the husband? Married female spouse? Doctor? Twitter mob? Donald Trump? Sandy the taco waitress? What if the husband, or Sandy, disagree with the Mother? Who then decides?
3. I draw the line at government MANDATED abortion. Like China during it's One Child Policy, or euthanasia to reduce health care costs as the Obama care writer says? (Now denied on Ezekiel's Wiki page. May be untrue ) or, as practiced in Holland? What is the opinion on that?
Any pro-x folk card to address my three questions? I think them important to the issue.
Btw my opinion on rape cases is simple, it's a crime to force a women to have her rapist's baby, and as for custody by him? Nay.
My attitude on sentencing for rapists is pretty much drawn from the Captain Stern segment from the movie Heavy Metal.
it's a crime to force a women to have her rapist's baby
At what point is it ok to murder a human for the crimes of his/her father? If he's born and grows to be 18 should his mother still be able to murder him? 6 minutes after he's born should his mother still be able to murder him? 3 minutes before can she still murder? 1 month before? After you see the little pee-pee in the ultrasound? After there's a heartbeat? Why is it OK to murder a human just because his/her mother was raped? That's f-ed up. Momma's got trauma from the incident. It's horrible. But two wrongs don't make a right. If you want to kill someone after a rape, kill the rapist. Not the innocent human.
I understand. But mommy's boyfriend, that raped little Ansasha repeatedly from when she was 12 to 14, after beating her Mom in every drunken rage, ( 4-6 times a week ) and is now serving 5 years in prison, for dealing crack. ( but will be released in 11 months. Because he has a baby at home. ) His lawyer demands Ansasha carry the baby to full term. Since the boyfriend wanted a child, but Ansasha's Mom can't, because of the beatings and internal injuries.
The above is a composite of real life horror stories in just This year's newspapers.
Some hideous variation is taking place, as we speak, close to someone here, and of course, we don't know. Not, perhaps, as totally unfair, but close.
Does this morally justify killing the unborn kid? No. You consider that an absolute, and I understand.
Are you going to demand little Ansasha have a baby at age 14, with the risk to her health? To please the monster that has ravaged her tiny family for 2 years?
Best solution is death penalty for the rapist. Quickly and publicly. No chance for recidivism. Yeah, it sucks. But the only person deserving of a death sentence is the rapist. The child is innocent. It makes no sense to execute the child and not the criminal.
The question is that of Personhood. Chambliss said, "“The 14th Amendment gives people, a person the right to life, liberty and property. But it doesn’t say when a person becomes a person. Obviously, if somebody is walking around, we know that’s a person. In the womb, do we know if that is a person or not? Unborn babies can hear, they can feel – at what point can they hear and feel and think and feel pain.”" If the murder of a pregnant woman gets you charged with two counts, how can it be denied that it is a person in the womb? My first born became an abortion over seas. I wasn't consulted because my answer was known. I showed up at her door after the fact with an envelope filled with the price of the procedure in cash. I handed it to her and never said a word. Till this day I have never talked to the woman. She murdered my child. I owe her nothing.
I agree that the death penalty for rape is warranted. The problem is, in this day of "believe every women" "#metoo", men and women are NOT equal. The law typically errs on the side of women. I know too many innocent men who were given sentences for things they didn't do. But women said they did, so in the eyes of the courts, they did. No evidence, witnesses were impeached on the stand, and still the women were given the upper hand. So how do you make sure you're actually killing a rapist? No easy answers, sometimes.
Was at a buddy's house last night & abortion came up. He had a story similar to Ourdee's, left scars. So do I, don't care to share thank you, but I assure you, I get it.
Torquehd hits the reason I'm not, generally, pro death penalty. Hypocritically, I desire rapists to be ( fill in your horrible death ). Dang it, I'm human.
Aesquire: I too have tried the calm rational discussion with an abortion supporting feminist., and I too get the frothing response before I can even ask enough hypotheticals to determine where on the slippery slope they are standing.
Example train of thought, (I do not have a dog in this fight, this is for hypothetical discussion only):
1. If what I argue is a viable human, is truly just a clustered collection of cells, (OK for sake of discussion lets put aside my view and accept that argument.) next question:
2. If a person can sell blood, plasma, locks of hair, semen, and even unfertilized eggs, given the demand in stem cell research, which despite moral objections from many, has shown promise in some fields of medicine, what would their position be on the sale of aborted "cell clusters"?
3. Should only the greedy doctor get the money, or should he/she only get a finders fee, and the majority of the funds go to our traumatized ex-mother?
(step carefully)
4. If acceptable as a means of salvaging some measure of something positive from this setback in the woman's life, could a woman then continue to monetize this product of future pregnancies just like blood plasma, semen and locks of hair? ( Heck, market prices might even make it a substantial "living".
(If she can stand the irony of saying that.)
5. Since unlike the aforementioned human commodities, it takes a partner to create this new commercial good, does he get a cut of the proceeds too? (Irrelevant to this line of thought, but likely to come up someday in a civil case.)
(Here we go)
6. This person has likely now walked down the slippery slope all the way to sale of humans as commodities to be bought and sold, and the women producing them to be little more than commodity producing livestock. Arguably its different because in this case the cow gets paid, but is subject to procedures far more dangerous and invasive than milking.
(Compensating the ex-mother seems the right thing to do now, doesn't it?)
7. How does the above position differ from the most dehumanizing views of say, the Chancellor of Germany from 1933- 1944, and his trusted medical "expert" Dr. Josef Mengele. They didn't see any problem with the commercializing of durable goods from gold fillings, craft/hobby materials from skin and bones,(the Holocaust museum has a lampshade of human skin, among other equally horrible things), and using the remainder of their six million "commodities" for heating fuel.
To my mind it was a relatively short walk from women's unfettered reproductive rights to eugenics, (I do tend to support women's rights as a basic civil right, but like all rights, there are almost always responsibilities, and restrictions on the exercise, subject to prosecution for overstepping that reasonable free exercise.)
I have a different take than the "economic" view of collectivism, consciousness, and degrees of State Controls on Property.
I've long since learned, and reject, the language of Marx. It's not a scientific definition, it's a weapon against truth. Rules For Radicals bluntly defines it by example and purpose, How to lie to take power.
I define the Revolution as religious war. Between the Enlightenment individual freedom side of Liberal Western Thought, as seen in the Federalist Papers, VS. the State Worship Intolerance of the fundamentally dishonest Left. Freedom vs. Slavery. Apollo vs. Bread line. The individual vs.group identity. Motorcycle vs. The Green Leap Forward.
That the most murderous lying Hate mongers in human history have a thousand brand names, and deny their crimes against humanity, is Evil Marketing, with no relation to content. Also pretty much the Biblical definition of Evil.
So, yeah. Socialists are socialists are collectivist are greenies are communists are fascists are whatever brand name. LIes, murder, coups, genocide and starvation are the common course.
I could argue that government programs raised the cost of college so average folk can't afford it. ( I worked to pay for college, but working nights at McDonald's doesn't pay enough now )
Then set up the laws for debt slavery for student loans.
Then NATIONALLIZED the program. ( thanks Barry ) Illegally.
Thus we should give relief to the victims of those actions.
I have opinions on how, but the above will do for now.
More importantly, on the moral obligation to Citizens,it you make a service "free" aka tax paid, then the government, Congress, has inevitability had to control prices, by limiting the pay of the service provider. And ultimately, forcing them to work without choice, when Congress forbids private sector services.
Aka Slavery. Not there yet on health care, but the British model comes close, and getting worse.
How do you think a Harvard Professor of law or gay cooking anthropology would react to being told Congress has set his salary at $47k a year?
By short circuiting the Electoral college, the Ds think they can tip the scales to eternal power.
They may be right. Unless there is an outbreak of rejecting the lies of socialism, the decades of propaganda in schools and the near total media bias will drag us in the direction of Mexico. A series of increasingly corrupt and useless Presidents and legislators that hang onto power like leaches until the economy is so poor they get voted out for a new prez eager to get bribed and a party shift that .... Then steals until the next bad years.
Basically the same people that shift offices every few election cycles, so they take turns getting the office with the good view. (& bribery income )
If it seems paranoid to talk about communists ...... At all, then remember three little things.
The #1 book on how to lie to hurt others and take power is communist Alinsky's Rules For Radicals. The subject of Hillary's senior thesis.
The number dead from socialist/communist ( you tell me The difference ) in the 20th century is in the hundreds of millions. Murdered. By the government. More than cancer, more than war.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he doesn't exist.
The lie that Nazis are right wing comes from the Soviet communist propaganda machine.
Not the same as Italian Fascist.
Ironically, Obama, once a card carrying Communist, had an economic policy very similar to the real 1930-40s Italian Fascism. Private ownership of companies, but controlled by government edict, and bribing the President to be favored in his controlled economy. Not what the THEORY said, but the corruption that was, in Italy, and Obama's regime.
See, Solyndra, Uranium One, ( How much did Obama get for that one? ) & GM.
Get the Palestinians to leave. That is the only solution.
Pay those who will yield but be prepared to pay a lot. It will be expensive. It has to be, to overcome past grievances and a natural resistance. The $30 billion dollars that the plan will spend to set up New Palestine would be better spent paying 300,000 Palestinians to relocate at $100,000 per person.
A family of five, with half a million dollars, could find welcome nations in Africa, Araby, or Asia. South America would welcome Arabs, especially the Christian ones -- though I think Israel should enfranchise the Christians and let them stay.
Is that ugly?
You bet it is! It is one step shy of ethnic cleansing, except that payment will be offered.
There is no other solution. At this point, they cannot live together. They have to be separated, and that is the only thing that a dime should be spent on.
I am not saying Israel is 100% innocent. No nation is. In fact, I find a lot of pro-Israel talking points to be duplicitous, because Israel wants to hide what is going on among some of their own extreme elements.
However, the Muslims are batsh*t crazy and psychotically violent; and there is no other way to describe them. The Muslims destroyed the once decent, Christian-ruled Lebanon and -- if given any leeway -- would destroy Israel, too.
Get the Palestinians to leave. Do not pretty it up.
1) First, Judea and Samaria has to be bought out. Forget about Gaza initially. Judea and Samaria is the Jewish heartland. There are roughly 2 million Muslims there. The number should be reduced to 500,000 or less. At $100,000 per person, that would cost $150 billion dollars.
2) Pay young women to leave first. Many women will jump at the chance to flee Islamic oppression. Paying men to leave would only mean more women for each man and will not stop the demographic problem.
3) Since the “Jewish state” will benefit, it is only reasonable that diaspora Jews pay for a lot of this.
4) Set a sliding scale. Those who sign up to leave last get less money.
5) At some point, force will be required to move the recalcitrant, which may be more than is expected.
6) In the long run, this is cheaper than nonstop war.
Even paying them may not produce the result desired. In that case, one side or the other will be genocided. I do not like saying any of this. What I am suggesting is the erasure of Palestinian nationality (who does exist, despite what some say), but I would be upset far worse, if Israel were destroyed.
I have to say, it is more and more reassuring to me as I talk to people. Customers. Just...regular folk. And, even here in Der People's Republik De Marylanden, they're (on their own) veering off in normal discussion to how upset they are with how things are going. Just a few minutes ago, I had a customer call in about a side-by-side...and it turned into a discussion (all on his initiative, not mine) about how upset he is at schools, how his kids don't learn anything real, how he's the "most boring dad ever" because he made them watch a video on what's happening to the Chesapeake Bay, crabs, oysters, farming, and algae blooms...how much he hates electric vehicles and thinks they're nothing but a line of BS that the "greenies" spout without even considering the chemicals that go into batteries or all the power required (from the power grid, fueled by...you guessed it...fossil or gas) to use them...
Nice to hear more and more people getting fed up with the BS out there.
As a foreigner, I don't have any stake in Brexit. I think the EU bureaucracy is probably evil, so I get why the Brute might want to leave, but it's the "Remain" politicians that convince me it's a Good Thing to Brexit.
Any politician that tells me The People who hired him are too stupid to make good decisions, both is telling us only idiots would vote for him, and that he thinks of us as his property. F him. You almost can't go wrong opposing everything he does or wants.
Now to be fair, even though I don't want to, half the People are below average, and they obviously vote. Anyone who's worked retail understands.
This nice lady & her sister should not be in jail awaiting trial. She should be remanded ( I think that's the legal word ) into the custody of an officer of the court. Specifically the judge that ruled Trump isn't allowed to enforce the law on the border to prevent such folk from coming here ahead of the folk that are politely waiting in line, legally. She can live with the judge until trial.
Since he's a Regressive, I'm sure he doesn't have any guns or sharp objects she & her sister might find to hurt themselves with.
