DEMOCRATS HELP LIMBAUGH

Legislation can not make anything legal; it can only make it illegal.

Back to the topic at hand:

I appreciate that Rev. Lynn has cut through the scare tactics of the Right on this. I appreciate this blog, but I am always disappointed when Mr. Sekulow starts parroting right wing and RNC talking points rather than providing his perspective on church/state issues. The Fairness Doctrine is not coming back, and it was benign enough when it did exist.

Of course, in an ideal world, right wing talk radio would take some responsibility for the hatred and lies that they spread every day. But this isn't an ideal world, and I don't believe that we should legislate this anyway.

Dear Nicolas,

You stated, “The same thing with drugs. State has no business telling what I can injest (or inject) until it causes me to infringe on someone else.”

How can you say that abortion is not “infringing on the rights of someone else?” If the fetus (developing human being) is not “human” then what is it? Vegetable, mineral? Any scientific test on a fetus (developing human being) would determine that it is of the species Homo sapien. Have you never seen pictures of a developing human being? Even when it is only a couple of inches long, it has a head, two eyes, a nose, little ears, a mouth, sucks its thumb, has finger nails, arms, legs, its own unique DNA, genetic code, and even figure prints. It has a totally intact body that is only part of the woman’s body because it is attached to her body by the placenta and umbilical cord. Other than that, it has it a totally separate body from the woman’s. It is just dependent upon her body. If you think that a “fetus” (developing human being) is less human or not “fully human,” or “half a human” or only “¾ of a person”-get my drift? Because it is developing, along that line of thinking we can kill toddlers and older children because they are not fully developed adults yet. This type of thinking can someday work against even yourself if someone decides that you are not fully human because of this or that reason (whatever they want to think up). Once they say that developing human beings are not human, or are not persons, what is to stop them from going after other “dependent” people as they already are doing with the disabled and the elderly? Does all this sound familiar to you? All these things were done in Nazi Germany before they went after the Jews, and Catholics etc., or in any other holocausts or genocides that have taken place on the planet. If abortion were legal when your mother was pregnant with you, perhaps you would be not considered human or a person, and therefore, killed in an excruciatingly painful manner. You would have been robbed of your “right to life,” so forget liberty, and the pursuit of happiness! If a woman takes the risk of getting pregnant by having sex with someone, she should be responsible and humane and own up to the consequences. Abortion is never good for a woman’s health. It often causes her to have miscarriages later on, breast cancer (because all of the cells that have developed while pregnant are never put in use for milk because of the abortion stopping the process, but just become a breeding ground for tumors; Britain has had the guts to come out to say that if a woman has an abortion, she will become mentally ill, etc. In a partial birth abortion, the doctors turn the baby completely around and create a breach birth which can kill the woman, the baby is born feet first with the legs kicking and struggling, all of its body is delivered except the head which is still in the birth canal (risking the woman’s life), until they stick a metal instrument in the back of its skull, and then remove the “cranial material,” meaning its brains, which deflates the entire skull. They never show any respect for the dead baby, but flush its body, along with countless others into the city’s sewer system. Is this enough information to make you even want to reconsider?

No wonder ED is so prevalent.

I'm liberal but I listen to Rush and other right wing talk radio all the time. I watch the 700 club once in a while too. Sometimes its hard to imagine these shows aren't satire. We do have Al Franken to counter Rush. I guess we want to be entertained as we become informed.

DSJulian said: "Laura -- all those things may be true..."

While it is irrelevant to the discussion at hand,Laura should be called to task on her absurd assertions. Most of it is bunk and she would be hard-pressed to find sound scientific evidence to back it up.

Anyone who can rant up one side and down the other, trying to legitimize a position by dragging in everything from Naziism to the local sewage system, really deserves the Loopy-Loo award.

Rev. Lynn - it's going to take more than one comment to "help" Limbaugh.

Sorry, Albatross,

I found this information from a former abortionist, and from actual testimony that I heard from "scientific" doctors in a Supreme Court case. It is not bunk.

Laura

Way to go Laura. They just don't know their own foolishness. They don't have the sense to know when their own rights are at risk. I thank God that he will forgive them for it. To be honest, I don't really understand why any man thinks he has the right to weigh in on this issue anyway.

Please read:

The Bill of Rights

Amendment I
============
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; OR ABRIDGING THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH, OR OF THE PRESS; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

YOU WANT CONGRESS TO DO WHAT?
==============================
Where (examine the word in caps for emphasis) does anyone come from when stating they are for the "fairness doctrine"? Are you for or against the constitution? I just quoted it. I believe it PROHIBITS congress from making any law that in ANY WAY restricts freedom of speech. It DOES NOT restrict PRIVATE businesses, individuals, organizations in what speech can be expressed.

WE ALREADY HAVE HAD FOR A LONG TIME OPPOSING VIEWPOINTS
=========================================================
Thus we have the very left views continually pounding our society from Hollywood, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, National Public Radio, National Public Television, most of our universities, etc., etc..

FOLLOW THE HISTORY
====================
The Democrats history speaks for itself about their tactics to oppress and hinder freedoms.
1. The Democrats were the ones that embraced slavery. The Republican party was started TO STOP SLAVERY.
2. After the Republicans freed the slaves and then lost their power in our government 12 years later, the Democrats repealed all the civil rights gained in the Republican administrations.
3. The Democrats created the Jim Crow laws to force their view point.
4. The Democrats created the Klu Klux Klan to stop Republicans from having a voice in the South (almost all Blacks were Republicans so they were easy to seek out).
5. The Democrats now want to force their view of how free speech should be exercised in the United States by ignoring what the constitution states!

I am so tired of the gross ignorance our modern culture breeds and the horrible consequences we now face because of that.

Please, people, learn! Study and read. Stop just parroting words you hear on the T.V. and radio. Dig. Research. Learn. Indeed, we are doomed because of our ignorance. What is even worse is that the vast majority of our leaders in Congress and the Senate have never even read the constitution that they have sworn to uphold!

Whether they bring back the Fairness Doctrine or not is beside the point is far as I’m concerned. Jay Sekulow wants to make sure religious broadcasters are protected. I don’t. Christian radio and Christian television should be banned from this country immediately. Shut down, made illegal and eliminated forever. Free speech only goes so far. You cannot yell “fire” in a theatre for example. What Christian preachers and apologists do on the radio and television is much worse. They make all kinds of outrageous false claims and one of these is the constant threat of eternal damnation for not believing what these lying hoaxers claim. An innocent child could hear one of these preachers criminalize him with the rest of humanity and actually believe some of what they hear. This could scar the child and actually ruin his or her life forever. This is a combination of obscenity and child abuse that should be a capital crime punishable the same as any other child abuse. If we have laws against pornography we must have laws against all Christian broadcasting. Pornography has not been shown to have anywhere near the kind of deleterious effect on people the way religious superstitions and the acceptance of blind faith dogma do. Religion is much more dangerous, it’s false and it’s evil – the cause of EVERY problem we have in the world today. I’m calling for an end to all religious broadcasting. It has no place in a country founded on freedom FROM religion.
