Lol, W. I hope you don't hold your breath waiting for it around here. It doesn't happen often, I'll see if I can fit it in again sometime soon.

Hi Ramona,

I don't really have anything to say. I'm just here cause I always read anything that has sex in the title.

Cville, I missed this until TMac commented. I can't thank you enough for bringing this to my post. You're absolutely right, I'm sorry to say. It's all about punishment, without a moment's concern for the children after they're born.

What gets me is that they come as close as they can to admitting that and still they work themselves into positions of power, punishing us even further by making us pay for their keep.

I know I am late to this, and

I know I am late to this, and boy am I glad of that, but this is the truest of everything I've read here. They think children are a penalty, and then they judge us, WOW!

Akin convinces himself that there is true "forcible" rape or the woman is a slut and a liar.The woman has to show her bruises and broken bones in the public square or be condemned.No bruises, no rape. This is utterly ridiculous and Christians are called upon to reject this evil stereotype. If the man is physically stronger or carrying a weapon during the attack, law enforcement tells women to do whatever they have to do to survive the attack. Surviving an assault by not fighting back is not"lying back and enjoying it", it is surviving and having to deal with the psychological effects later.Akin is a fool.

In the case of fornication, it takes two individuals to complete the act.Was Akin a virgin prior to marriage? Is he willing to state that he was virginal prior to marriage publicly ? Has Akin been faithful in his marriage? Judge not.....etc.

In the case of a woman who has had an abortion, is she to be scorned by Christians, or loved.If she is told that she must bear the child to term, does a Christian nation have to provide aid to the woman to ensure, a good life for the child, or do we condemn her for being a poor mother? If society encourages the birth what other obligations does a Christian society incur? Do we sent the child off to a government orphanage?

I think some will condemn people and feel that they are doing their Christian duty.

Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a slut.Akin may have two daughters, but he believes other people's daughters are sluts, just as some are certain that people they don't know are doing a poor job of raising their daughters. However, we all know that if Akin's daughters were to have an unwanted pregnancy, he would continue to love them.His daughter would not be a slut, but a child who made a mistake.If the daughter had an abortion, would Akin abandon, her? The answer to that question would tell us more about Akin than the daughter.

That is, indeed, the ur-text. I was making a little inside joke with Quinn going back a few years to the Cafe, where Chaim Yonkel the Goatfucker made an appearance.

In reply to Even as the Republican

They've been trying to overturn Roe v Wade since the day it became legit. They've gone so far rightward now they think this may be the time for it. If Romney wins it'll happen.

“Faithful to the ‘self-evident’ truths enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, we assert the sanctity of human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed,” said the draft platform language approved Tuesday, which was first reported by CNN. “We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children.”

I'll bet $10,000 there's not even a half-sentence about the sanctity of poor and abused children. (I don't have $10,000. That's how sure I am I'll win.)

Why would you or anyone come

In reply to Why should I throw skin in

Why would you or anyone come here if they didn't want to throw skin in this game, to be sincere? Are you here to spin, to obfuscate, to lie? I can understand why someone might do that on the evening news to forward their candidate or policy agenda. I hate it, people spinning, obfuscating, lying to the public. I can understand it though, hate it as much as I do. But why would anyone waste their time here being less than sincere?

I'm here to discuss my ideas on subjects I find interesting with people who also have knowledge and interest in the same subjects. I certainly don't have complete knowledge or all the answers. What I have is skin in the game and complete and total sincerity. I'll post my views without spin or obfuscation using the best of my knowledge completely honestly. I wouldn't waste my time doing anything less.
