The Right To Choose

by Big Dog on Feb 21, 2005 at 20:49 Posted in Political 9 Comments

It would appear as if the radical left has mellowed. For years we have been deluged with mindless prattle about a woman’s right to choose. We have the Supreme Court Decision in Roe telling us that this is protected by the Constitution. We have every liberal across the nation telling us that the republicans want to take this “right” away. There have been all kinds of heated battles over this one but this might be changing.

Ever since Hillary decided that she wants to run for President (she has decided that, she has just not yet made her decision public) she has toned down. This femi-nazi from the hippie generation of bra burning , love-ins, and protests has decided that we need to have fewer abortions. She is now affirming what we on the right have been saying for years. There is a pro-choice group on the band wagon to make birth control more available and reduce the “need” for abortions. Their premise is that we need fewer unintended pregnancies and by doing that we will have fewer abortions.

Don’t let these folks fool you for one minute. Hillary has just shed one skin and put on another. This group is changing its tone to appeal to the fringe voters out there. They want to suck enough votes in so that Hillary or another ultra liberal can be elected. They hope to get more liberals in Congress. That is when they will drop the hammer. There will be no more of this middle of the road and unintended stuff. They will go all out to appoint judges who espouse this murderous viewpoint. Hillary will then start telling us how it is a God given (she is evangelical you know) right for all women to get abortions. We will probably have quickie marts on the corners where they do drive through abortions as part of the Hillary care agenda.

We need to look at the record. Look at the past. They can not change their stripes. They will go back to the old ways and laugh all the way there.

Now, if I could only get them to be as passionate about me being able to keep my guns, a right that is afforded to me under the Constitution, then they would be talking. The liberals won’t do that. They only want to kill little babies that can not defend themselves. The libs like people to be defenseless. Kill defenseless babies and keep us from having adequate protection in the form of a firearm.

Perhaps if we could convince them, every time someone is shot, that it was nothing more than a very, very late abortion they would let us keep the guns.

With Friends Like this…..

By now everyone on the planet, especially the left who will salivate like rabid dogs, has heard about the “Bush Tapes.” A person believed to be a family friend secretly taped conversations with George Bush before he decided to run for the presidency. Doug Wead, an author and former aide to President Bush’s father, taped the conversations on several occasions. The tapes were never meant to be made public but Mr. Wead probably smells US currency and can not control himself.

I have read some of the conversations and heard some of them on the news. I am not surprised by anything on the tapes. Everything that I have heard has been addressed on a number of occasions during the past six or so years. I have not heard or read anything that contradicts the answers the President has given about various subjects that are addressed on the tapes. The big deal revolves around any past drug use by Bush. The conversations tend to indicate he used marijuana in the past and possibly tried cocaine. I say indicate because they can be taken one of two ways. Bush never came out and said I did this or that. He said he would not answer the questions because he did not want some kid to say I only did what the President did. True to his word, Bush has not answered those questions. What is truly amazing to me is that people are focused on this possible drug use as if it is an automatic disqualification for the Office. I wonder why Clinton was given as pass on marijuana use. It was youthful indescretion, we were told. Why are the standards so different? Hell, if this is an automatic disqualifier, most Americans would be disqualified for the job.

Another thing on the tapes is Bush saying that the whole investigation into Clinton was wrong. He then followed with a statement that Clinton had disgraced the nation. I can not see how this would be such a bombshell. Clinton did disgrace the nation. Bill Clinton himself knows that some of the things he did were a disgrace to the nation and they explain why he has had such a hard time defining his legacy. The important thing to remember is that Bush said these things in private to someone he thought was a friend. He did not know that this would be made public. Every politician in the world says things in private that would never be uttered in public. There is a time and a place for everything.

I do not think that this will have legs. There will be an uproar from some organizations. The left side of the blogosphere will go nuts with their typical Bush bashing. The tapes could have nothing more than Bush saying I am proud to be an American and the left would find fault with that. So this is to be expected. As yet, these tapes do not contain a “smoking gun.” They do not show Bush as a liar and they do not contradict any position he has taken in the past. So it is unlikely they will be the downfall of his second term, much to the displeasure of the left.

As for Mr. Wead, he has stooped to a very low position. He taped conversations without the approval of the other party. He claims to have done this from states where it is legal. Be that as it may, he has damaged his own credibility. I can not imagine that anyone would want to talk to him in private, given what he has done. People would have to wonder if they are being taped. This is unfortunate because George Bush values friendship and he has now been betrayed by a so called friend. Perhaps Mr. Wead will consider the same thing Judas did after he betrayed a friend.

The anti-Bush wing of the Government, The New York Times has the story.

I bet it won’t take long for our friends on the left to start using words like “cover up” and to distort the content of the tapes. Stay tuned…
