Planned Parenthood - To Fund or Not To Fund

The democrats have definitely made their mark these last few years, but this Planned Parenthood thing is utterly ridiculous!
Our local Pregnancy Crisis Center is funded by donations.  They do not harm mothers or babies.  They promote GOOD.  They help pregnant women, regardless of their race, religion, or lifestyle.  They counsel them.  They provide multiple options for dealing with pregnancy, all of which promote LIFE to baby and mother.  They give them a place to stay if needed.  They provide vitamins, tests, diapers, formula, etc. They do all this through fund-raising.
Planned Parenthood promotes abortions.  They kill babies.  They mutilate babies.  They sell baby parts.  Their executives are getting rich from this horrific trauma. They cause lifetime emotional distress for women. They have no empathy or sympathy for expectant mothers.  They promote nothing that is good or having a positive impact on the lives of women.

So, is it just me, or is this a no-brainer?  If you are going to spend my tax dollars, then I should get to vote as to where they go. And if Planned Parenthood is such a wonderful institution, let them fund-raise.  Let them do their business solely on the donations of others.  See how many people would like to donate to their cause.  If our government is going to funnel money to them, then shoot some to the Pregnancy Crisis Centers as well.  Sending it only to Planned Parenthood is most definitely DISCRIMINATION!  And in our day of political correctness, we just can't have anything one-sided any more.

Oh, yeah, forgot to mention that Planned Parenthood OFFENDS ME! And as we all know, if we are offended by something, it MUST be removed!

The Lion or The Lamb?

So, a dentist killed a lion.  Cecil the lion.  Famous Cecil the lion. Famous Cecil the lion, a major tourist attraction.
Social media has erupted in outrage.  A petition has been sent to the White House to have this man extradited for allegedly illegally killing this lion.  And the White House has agreed to review this petition and make some determination on it.  In the past three years, our government has made over 30 arrests for the illegal trade of rhino horns.

This same White House contains a government that deems it necessary to funnel thousands of dollars to Planned Parenthood for the brutal and gruesome murder of babies. An organization, who we now know, harvests baby parts to sell to the highest bidder.  An organization whose upper-management discusses those sales like they were selling auto parts.  Now, I am all for enforcing the laws, and having reasonable, responsible hunting laws.  But I guess I'm weird - seems to me that humans far outweigh animals on the scale of what's OK to kill and what's not.

How on earth can you say a "fetus" is not a baby?  If that is true, then how can they specifically harvest hearts, or livers? 

And isn't this same government, that funds Planned Parenthood and all their nightmarish efforts, the same government that has a law that says if you kill a pregnant woman, you will be charged with two murders?  What's wrong with this picture?  And the same government that can charge a mother with child abuse or neglect if she chooses to drink and use drugs while pregnant, thereby producing an addicted baby at birth? 

If you're going to have a law, at least have the same law across the board!

Guns, Schmuns!

What is Obama's deal with guns?!  I have my speculations, but none of them involve keeping America protected.  Why on earth would he think U.S.citizens would give up their right to bear arms?  I realize there are people who don't like guns.  I know there are plenty of accidents involving guns.  But the crime we see that involves guns has nothing to do with that.  I seriously doubt the liquor store robber stood in line at Walmart waiting for a background check to purchase a gun. 
Didn't we make owning and using cocaine and meth illegal?  How is that working?  The dishonest, criminally-minded people WILL have guns.  Whether it's legal or not. Banning them will only produce a more lucrative job opportunity for guns to sell behind closed doors. 
And how is it that a guy, going to break into your home and rob you will be persuaded to walk the straight and narrow by the knowledge that you have no weapons?  I love those signs I've seen posted that say their neighbors are in favor of gun bans, a "directive", of sorts, to the would-be criminal.
I would not be a bit surprised if Obama declares martial law before his term is up.  This would give him authority to confiscate everyone's guns, thereby leaving them defenseless against the government, and would ensure that no other elections could be held until it was lifted.  I feel like that would spark an uprising like never before! The phrase "The South's Gonna Rise Again" comes to mind.
I live in a rural area and everyone I know owns guns.  They don't own guns so that they can slaughter people.  They are used for hunting and sport shooting.  They don't own machine guns - just rifles, shotguns and pistols.  And I don't know anyone who has killed anybody with them.  In my experience, most people who use guns for hunting have been taught from a young age about the seriousness of owning and operating a gun.  All the cautions that must be used, as well as the responsibility of using and storing a gun. 
And this latest theater shooter in Louisiana took a gun into a place that banned guns.  A place that banned guns for all, even those with conceal & carry permits.  So, he knew no one there would be armed.  So, all the law-abiding citizens who were there, NOT possessing their guns, were now in harms way.  If they had been allowed to have a weapon, maybe fewer people would have been shot.  We will never know.

When were younger, nearly every boy who drove to school had guns in his vehicle.  He may have went hunting before school, or might have been planning to go after school.  No one gave it a second thought.  And I don't remember one single time of those people using their guns to shoot someone.  Again, it all comes back to personal responsibility.  I am pretty sure if anyone had even so much as pointed a gun at another, their dad would have tanned their hide when they got home.  But now days it's so much easier to let your kids run amok and push them into activity after activity so you don't have to deal with them.  The government has made it nearly impossible to discipline your children.  I don't think Dr. Spock could have envisioned our society when he wanted to let children "express" themselves.  I personally didn't earn the right to express myself until I was an adult.  Prior to that, what I did or didn't do was a direct result of my parents - "If you don't get over there and pick that up, you're going to get a spanking." Or, "If you stay out past curfew one more time, we're taking away your car." 

Parenting is not for sissies. It is one of the hardest, yet most rewarding jobs we have.  And our children didn't "ask" to be here.  They are given to us for a short while to love and teach and train. It is a job that is exciting some days, and totally exhausting others.  Parenting is the foundation of our children's whole world.  What is right, what is wrong.  Whether they are "good enough".  Whether they are worthy of being loved. What we do sets the stage for their entire life.  Part of our job is to let them fail from time to time.  Though we want them to have a flawless childhood, that is not practical, nor does it teach them how to cope with life.  I am curious to know about the parenting of these people who raised children who murder people.  I just can't believe how you raise kids who think the world owes them something and that everyone else is to blame for their station in life.  Kids who think revenge is better than seeing that your life is what you make of it. Kids who choose to give up or give in rather than pulling up your boot straps and knowing that tomorrow will be a better day.  I don't get it...

A Gentle Little Abortion

I hope in light of recently released videos of Planned Parenthood, that these people are exposed for what they really are - gruesome murderers!  How horrific to sip your wine while you casually discuss selling body parts of unborn babies.  What kind of mental state are these people in?  Even people who work in animal slaughter houses experience traumatic emotional stress from the repeated killing. Yet these women, who are in the business of killing babies, and then selling this part or that part of the "specimen" seemed to have no problem discussing it like they were selling Avon. I have to wonder, when these people lay on their death bed, what will be going through their minds?

I decided to visit the Planned Parenthood website. I am appalled at how they make this procedure seem quick and painless, and without effect. http://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/abortion/in-clinic-abortion-procedures  
This is their page, where they describe two kinds of abortion, both of which they refer to as "gentle". I am sorry, but there is nothing "gentle" about vacuuming out a baby and scraping your uterus for any remaining parts.
Here is a photo(borrowed from wyandotcountyrighttolife) of how an abortion is performed on a 23 week baby- grasping at body parts randomly, and finally crushing the head so it can be brought out.


This doesn't look very "gentle" to me.  The vacuum machine simply destroys the baby as it sucks it out, so you don't actually see the parts.  Again, doesn't seem gentle at all.

What I don't understand about this whole thing is why our government can spend MY tax dollars to fund these abortions, without MY consent.  And if they are going to do that, then let's be fair.  Fund the Pregnancy Crisis Centers as well.  Then both sides get fair and equal treatment. If I am correct, our local Pregnancy Crisis Center is funded solely through donations. So, our government thinks it is better to violently kill babies and cause emotional trauma to the mother, than to fund something that would help these mothers to either have and take care of their baby, or put it up for adoption?
And doesn't it take like a million years and big money to be able to adopt a baby?  And aren't there waiting lists a mile long?  Wouldn't it make more sense to give these unwanted babies to people who were anxiously waiting for one? Just seems like common sense to me.  But of course, our government has none of that!

ASPIRATION ABORTION — THE MOST COMMON KIND OF IN-CLINIC ABORTION

During an aspiration abortion
  • Your health care provider will examine your uterus.
  • You will get medicine for pain. You may be offered sedation — a medicine that allows you to be awake but deeply relaxed.
  • A speculum will be inserted into your vagina.
  • Your health care provider may inject a numbing medication into or near your cervix.
  • The opening of your cervix may be stretched with dilators — a series of increasingly thick rods. Or you may have absorbent dilators inserted a day or a few hours before the procedure. They will absorb fluid and get bigger. This slowly stretches open your cervix. Medication may also be used with or without the dilators to help open your cervix.
  • You will be given antibiotics to prevent infection.
  • A tube is inserted through the cervix into the uterus.
  • Either a hand-held suction device or a suction machine gently empties your uterus.
  • Sometimes, an instrument called a curette is used to remove any remaining tissue that lines the uterus. It may also be used to check that the uterus is empty. When a curette is used, people often call the abortion a D&C — dilation and curettage.
An aspiration procedure takes about 5 to 10 minutes. But more time may be needed to prepare your cervix. Time is also needed for talking with your provider about the procedure, a physical exam, reading and signing forms, and a recovery period of about one hour.

Let's Just Call A Spade A Spade

Fury. Rage. Shame. Disappointment. Anguish. 

These are the feelings I have had as I watch our lame excuse for a president do NOTHING to honor the Marines who were recently killed by a TERRORIST!  We managed to light up the Whitehouse like a rainbow for a bunch of screaming gays who wanted equal rights, but we can't even fly our flags at half-mast for Marines who were serving their country and who were killed by muslims on OUR soil?  Really????

Political correctness is a term my grandfather never knew.  Nor, would he have cared about it.  I continue to hear the phrase "peaceful muslims". That is an oxymoron!  There are no peaceful muslims!  The very book they abide by in their religion says ALL INFIDELS MUST BE KILLED!  What the heck is peaceful about that?  You want to be a muslim?  Fine, but expect to be profiled.  You are living in a country that muslims want to decimate.  Politically incorrect?  So what?!  Freedom of religion is one thing.  But when your religion dictates you commit crimes, as established by our constitution, you lose that freedom.

And I heard a news clip where a guy (sorry, didn't get the name) said at our recruiting stations we should have one soldier trained to use a gun and keep it in the building.   That's the dumbest thing ever!  Aren't our soldiers sent to boot camp and training, where they are taught how to use weapons to be able to fight for our country?  Why are they only allowed to use weapons to protect themselves and us on foreign soil?  I realize this was put in place by George Bush Sr., but that was before terrorists came to America.  We were able to change the definition of marriage, but we can't allow trained Marines to arm themselves?  What's wrong with this picture?

Our president has disgraced this nation time and time again.  I don't know one person who voted for him.  EVER.  I don't know one person who thinks he is doing a great job. I don't know one person who thinks he should remain in his position.  So, why are we not charging him with treason?  Or impeaching him?  Who is allowing all this nonsense to continue?  Where do I go to file a complaint with the government? 

MY tax dollars are funding planned parenthood.  I object!  I am an American Citizen.  I am supposed to be able to vote to determine the actions of our government.  Why doesn't my vote count?  I am NOT in favor of killing babies, born or unborn.  I am NOT in favor of selling their body parts like they were cuts of beef.

As I see these horrendous things happening, I must wonder - would Obama still be in favor of bowing to his "brothers" is they beheaded his wife?  His children?  If they planted a bomb under his car?  Is he really in favor of all this crap, or is he so far removed from the effects of it that he doesn't have to think about it?

I want my president to have a variety of qualities.  He should be kind.  He should be an eloquent speaker.  He should have morals.  He should be well-versed in the workings of the government.  He should be experienced in conducting business. Personally, I prefer him to be a God-fearing Christian.  But above all those things, he should be an AMERICAN, and a patriotic American at that.  One who loves his country and all that it stands for.  One who believes our forefathers did a good thing by coming here.  One who wants to continue all the things that America stands for.  I don't think in all the years Obama has been in office he has ever even produced a birth certificate to prove he was an American citizen!  How on earth did this guy ever get to where he is?

CNN News Anchor Involved in Gunfight

I guess I only have one question about this attempted robbery that ended with the perpetrator being killed:

IS THIS NOT A RACIST CRIME!?!?!?!?!?

Why has no one cried out using the RACE card?  If this had been a white man robbing a black couple, I am almost certain it would have been charged as a "hate crime".  Fair is fair.  It seems every time a white cop has to kill a black person in the midst of that person committing or attempting to commit a crime, it is racist and there are riots everywhere. 

And has it occurred to anyone, besides me, that if these people weren't attempting to commit a crime, or disobeying police orders to stop, there would be no need to shoot anyone?  And if all these people who are crying for GUN control, would instead cry for CRIME control, we would all have a lot less to worry about.

Most times, the people committing crimes, as was the case with this incident, have a long rap sheet of past run-in's with the law.  Obviously their prior punishments were not enough of a deterrent to make them want to stop doing illegal things.  That's because they know the worst they will get is a slap on the wrist, and a little time at the gray-bar hotel.  And during their stay there, they will be given 3 meals a day, TV, weight-lifting opportunities, outdoor recreational time,and an opportunity to take some online classes if they wish.What kind of punishment is that?

If we had stronger crime control and greater punishment for crimes, the rate would be significantly lower.  Why do criminals sit in prison for years while my tax dollars pay to house them?  If you intentionally take another's life, and witnesses saw you do it, and there is no question as to your guilt, then what is the hold-up?  You should get a speedy trial and be executed immediately thereafter.  If your crime was not violent, but your punishment is a prison sentence, then it should be PRISON.  I guarantee you the people who worked on chain gangs did NOT want to go back to prison when they were released.  Let's reinstate some hard physical labor of prisoners.  I know there are those who will say it violates their rights.  THEY violated their own rights the instant they committed a crime.  They did it knowing it was wrong and if they got caught they would be punished. You think your actions are without consequences?  Every action has a consequence - some good and some bad. If you knew you would get 20 years hard labor with barely enough food and water to sustain you, that might make you think twice before you robbed a liquor store or mugged someone or sold drugs.

I just don't understand...

Confederate Flag - Myth or Fact?

I suppose the fact that I was not alive when slavery was active in the United States makes me have little understanding about this new controversy.  But, I just don't get it. 
The best I understand, what we now refer to as the "Confederate Flag" was originally designed by William Porcher Miles, Chairman of the Flag and Seals Committee.  It was proposed to be used as our national flag, but was instead chosen as a battle flag by the Army of North Virginia under General Robert E. Lee.  This is not the same flag some refer to as a "rebel flag".
So this flag has been in existence for some 150 years, and has been displayed by a number of both public and private sectors all the while.  What happened in the last few weeks that made this particular flag such a big deal?  I wonder if the people who are raising a stink about this know that it was created by the democrats. The party of our president in office right now. The party who fought and lost lives to keep slavery.  The party who believes in the government "providing" for the people, and thus, controlling the people. 
Like it or not, it is part of the history of these United States.  It has been displayed in various places for many years.  Today it is offensive? Why wasn't it offensive in the 50's, 60's or 70's? 
I'll tell you what offends me.  The NAACP.  The ACLU.  The United Negro College Fund.  It offended me many years ago, and still does today.  Think they will dissolve because I am offended?  Doubt it. How does one get something removed for being offensive?  I have been offended by many TVshows and movies, but so far, haven't found anyone who cares. 
I have said this before, but slavery is part of our history.  It was not pleasant.  I am sorry for those who had to endure.  But no one alive right now has any first-hand knowledge of that.  I do not wish to resume the practice of slavery of black people, as I feel it is unjust.  But all those who are making a big deal about this, do you realize the people you keep voting for are making you slaves?  And color doesn't matter any more.  We are all being forced into slavery.  Our "government" is now controlling our health care system. They are making people think they are "owed" something.  They are making them feel good about receiving welfare benefits, and making them further dependent upon the government. Our government is attempting to control our religions, which is why the United States was formed in the first place.
Wake up, people!  Our government has far overstepped their bounds in what they have control of.  Their job is to protect rights.  But those very rights are what are being slowly taken away from the American people.  When we wake up one day to realize we live in a socialist country, it will be too late to change it.
