Liberal logic?

The aptly named Sarah Slamen recently spoke to the Texas lawmakers about their radical anti-abortion law forbidding abortions after twenty weeks of pregnancy.  If my math is right, that’s half way through the pregnancy.  How dare they!

So she was the opening guest on Bill Maher’s Real Time show on 7/26/13.  During the interview the pro-abortion guest and host chatted away and Bill said, “Do you think it’s also about the fact that Texas now is, I don’t know what percentage Hispanic but –“  Here Ms. Slamen interjects “Forty…forty percent.” Bill continues, “Forty?  OK, well there you go.  I think they fear that they’re having too many babies and that’s going to lead to the re-conquista that... (audience laughs and Bill continues) right? Don’t you think that is an element?”

What?  Hispanics having too many babies is why the Texas legislature passed this radical anti-abortion bill?  Last time I looked, reducing abortions means more babies, not less. 

There is a lot more I could critique about this conversation if this were not just my hobby, but this one jumped out at me. 

Yeah, here’s the whole interview.

Here’s Ms. Slamen’s full testimony to the Texas lawmakers.

A Lesson in Irony

The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing this year the greatest amount of free Meals and Food Stamps ever, to 46 million people.

Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us "Please Do Not Feed the Animals." Their stated reason for the policy is because "The animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves."
Thus ends today's lesson in history

Red flag

You probably already know this, but in case it slipped your mind, here’s a reminder of some current history....           

President Obama was a no-show at Margaret Thatcher's funeral despite being invited to attend and thus snubbing England's invitation as a representative of the American people. Joe Biden also refused, as did Hillary Clinton. 

(By the way, former Secretary of State George Schultz went to the funeral……)      

The British took note of the fact that the Obama administration chose not to send a single senior member of the Cabinet.

In fact, no actively serving, elected Democrat attended Lady Thatcher’s funeral.      

The Obama Administration did, however, send a formal delegation, of 14, to the funeral of Socialist Dictator Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who died recently.

Prescient

When a candidate for public office faces the voters he does not face men of sense; he faces a mob of men whose chief distinguishing mark is the fact that they are quite incapable of weighing ideas, or even of comprehending any save the most elemental — men whose whole thinking is done in terms of emotion, and whose dominant emotion is dread of what they cannot understand. So confronted, the candidate must either bark with the pack or be lost... All the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum.

The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
