Political Logic

MSNBC so predictable

The liberal hounds at MSNBC didn’t take long to go on the attack tonight on the talk show’s.  Scarborough’s Country and Count Down with Keith Olbermann. The hosts of each show accused Fox news commentator Bill O’Reilly of blaming Jessie Davis for her own death, as well as saying the same thing about the wife of Chris Benoit.

 What is so amusing about the whole thing is that after watching the O’Reilly Factor tonight I predicted that people would go after him. I looked directly at my girlfriend, who was also watching, and said, “Oh boy, they’re going to go after him now.” Of course, MSNBC is way too predictable for me to take a pat on my back for knowing they would jump on Bill, but it’s still funny. Dan Abrams, filling in for Joe Scarborough, and MSNBC legal analyst Susan Falin were so indignant and angry over the situation. But, of course, they had nothing to be angry about. Bill did not say either woman, Jesse Davis or Nancy Benoit, were responsible for their own deaths. What Bill actually did was say, “Look if you put yourself around chaotic people, dangerous people, or people doing dangerous and irresponsible things, then you are going to get hurt in some way, some day.” Umm, where is the blame here? I don’t see it. He never said getting killed was her own fault, or that she deserved it.

 As Bill predicted on his own show, he is going to get hammered because people don’t want to have to make judgments. Let me put in a simple way. Jesse Davis did not do anything to deserve being killed. Natalie Holloway did not deserve to be killed. Nancy Benoit did not deserve to be killed. All three did make decisions that placed them in danger. If you think that’s blaming the victim, then ask yourself this. Would you get into a car with someone you know is drunk? Would you put your kid into a car when you know the driver’s drunk? No, of course not, because you know that is a bad situation to be in.

 We are finding more and more out about how bad this Bobby Cutts was. The question has to be raised, why in the hell was she with the guy? Bill’s whole point and it was a point of warning to viewers and Americans everywhere, is that if you’re involved with someone, man or women, that is in chaos, doing bad or irresponsible things, you need to get out. That life will bleed into yours and it could get you dead, maimed, raped, or any number of unpleasant things.

 I’ve never been able to understand why questioning the decisions a person makes is blaming the victim. Maybe it’s because we know, logically, that if the person had not been in that situation they might be alive. It’s painful to realize that if Natalie Holloway didn’t get drunk with guys she didn’t know from Adam that she might be here with her family today.

 Abrams, Olbermann, and Filan need to shut up, just stop taking the liberal, progressive, make no judgments crazy juice and wake up. Or at least tell the truth. I know that’s a stretch for Olbermann in particular. Bill O’Reilly spoke a simple truth. That Jesse Davis was putting her life and her child at risk by continuing to be involved with Bobby Cutts. Sometimes decisions like this only lead to relationship drama, and other times it leads to unfortunate deaths like this. But I have a question for Miss Filan and Dan Abrams since they want to stand-up for all women in the world to not be “judged” like this. What is your advice to the millions of females watching your shows? If they are dating or married to a man that is abusive, violent, have multiple kids with other women, etc., should they stay in those situations? Would you tell them to not worry about anything, because nothing that happens to you, you have any control over whatsoever?

 It’s a sad week in America today. These two women should be alive today. Two innocent children should be alive today. But tomorrow or someday, sooner than we need to see, another woman is going to be dead. She won’t be the cause of it. But today, right now that woman is alive, and maybe the message of getting away from men like Cutts might keep them alive. That is of course if Abrams, Olberman, and Filan would like the message to get out. But it seems like they would rather yell at the man that’s kicking their ass in ratings, rather than offer sound advice to female Americans on how to not be on the news as a topic of tragic discussion.

 

 

 

Immigration Part II

    Today senators are debating, adding, and defeating various amendments to this Shamnesty Bill so-called Immigration Reform Bill. Tomorrow they will vote for cloture, and probably get it. This is why you don’t want the Democrats in power in the House and Senate. They are doing what many Americans and Conservatives have predicted. They are leaving the US vulnerable security wise, and it’s simply stupid.

 You know when I look at the state the Kennedy family has fallen to under Ted Kennedy it makes me mad. Talk about a man that does not live up to the legacy of a great family. Both his brothers did things that were unpopular, but good for the country. Ted is doing things, and has for quite awhile that are not good for the country.  He has been at the forefront of this stupid bill, and one of its loudest supporters. Though not as loud as President Bush. The simple fact that the President would agree with anything that comes out of Kennedy’s empty head is a clue that this bill is wrong.  Forget the whole debate about the 12 million illegals here in the country for a moment. Even if you want them to become citizens—like--tomorrow, doesn’t it make sense to make the country safer by securing the border, getting rid of criminal illegals, and deporting any illegal or immigrants that break our laws? I mean, Jesus, are the Democrats and Liberals so needy for votes that they will sell out the country to achieve that goal? It certainly looks like it.

     To be fair the Republicans have not done much better. I shutter to think that a Republican, the Grand Messiah to the Republican Party, Ronald Regan started this whole stupid mess. Now what we have is a poison pill that the country is going to have to swallow in order to fix it. The 12 million that are here are going to have to be given amnesty, make no mistake about it. It’s going to happen, and it has too. Why? Because we can’t round up 12 million people without looking like the Gestapo or the Nazi’s. It’s that simple. If we could, I would be all for it. After all they DID BREAK THE FREAKING LAW! But there is what’s right, and then there’s what’s practical.

     But what do we need to leave the border open for the next 12 million to come in. Why is it unreasonable for the immigrants to have a tamper proof ID card? Why on God’s green Earth, do we need to allow the 12 million to bring over their mother, father, cousins, sister, brother, nephews, etc. Hell, if you want that many why don’t we just cede the country to Mexico. I don’t care if their culture is family based. If it’s that so important, why did they leave them to begin with?

     The big picture in this whole issue is one, the Republicans don’t want to face the consequences of a bad immigration policy they helped create (Amnesty to 12 million people) and two, the Democrats, knowing this issue has reached critical mass don’t want to allow even the most logical security measures. They just want them to come on in, and if a terrorist comes with them, hey we’ll just deal with that later on.

Immigration Lunacy Pt.1

    In this world of craziness and blind emotion, few issues are more emotional than the current immigration debate. I must admit even my emotions have been inflamed regarding this issue as both the right and left push inane policies. This new version of the Immigration Bill is still the same old bill. It doesn’t provide for adequate securing of the border, or protection of actual U.S. citizens. Look the mantra here is logic and reason, so let’s take it point by point.

 The most important thing we have to do is secure the border. The way it is now, illegals, drug-runners, and at some point—assuming it hasn’t happened already—terrorists can get in without any problem. That is unacceptable. Now proponents of this bill say that it will secure the border. But it doesn’t. The Bill doesn’t do any of the following things: mandate deportation of criminal aliens, deportation of known gang members; which number around 30,000 currently, call for a tamper proof ID card, or permanent barring from the country any illegal alien convicted of a felony. That is not security. It’s like saying you’re going to buy a new security system for your house, but you leave the door unlocked, the windows open, and you don’t turn the alarm on in the first place. It’s ridiculous. And to date I haven’t heard a single logical reason from the open border liberals as to why securing the Border is such a problem for them. All I hear is the Open Border crowd lamenting that Conservatives need to be
understanding and have a heart. What is it going to take for these people to wake-up, another 3,000 dead? OK, wait. I can hear them now accusing me of the politics of fear. How’s this for fear, we have already been attacked by terrorists coming in from Mexican border. Terrorists that have killed millions, and destroyed the lives of countless millions through a slow tortuous campaign. They’re called drug dealers and drug runners. Put a wall up, increase the Border guard, back them up with the National Guard, and drug smuggling drops by 90 percent. We would stop it cold.

     Forget about killing two birds with one stone. Securing the borders in this way would kill THREE birds with one stone. We would dramatically decrease the number of illegals crossing the border, stop drug smuggling across the border almost completely, and we’d be secure from terrorists entering, at least in a easy fashion, from that portion of the country. But no, the liberals and big business minded republicans want more coming in without restrictions.

The Gay Lobby does it again

Ok this item is just plain stupid. In Oakland a group of gay and lesbian workers for the city of Oakland formed an email group made of up people that consider themselves gay. They emailed each other, shared stories, whatever. Another group at the job decided to start their own email group. This one was made up of Christians, and people who believe in traditional, natural families. They emailed each other, and never once disparaged the gay group. But of course the women that started the gay email group sued the city in order to make them disband the christian group. And of course the whacky court out there decided against the christians.

Ok, what's our motto? Logic and Reason. If you allow one set of employees to form a group of any kind on the company, or government worksite, then another one is allowed to be formed as well. That's basic fairness. Unless the group is infringing on the rights of the other group, there is nothing wrong. There is no discrimmination.

Why is it that if you're gay, you can do what you want. But if you're a Christian, you don't have any rights? It's ridiculous, but typical of the mentailty in country right now.

Bottom line is the supervisor should have had a back bone, and disallowed either group. And the judge in the case, 8th district court of course, should follow common sense. You can't take the rights of one group away in favor of another group. Especially when that group is a fridge one to begin with.

Democrats ignoring science--again!

For the first time in weeks, President Bush actually did something that made sense. He vetoed the Embryonic Stem Cell Research Bill for the second time. It’s nice to see him get back to doing what’s right, rather than doing what’s political.

Of course the Democrats, and the Looney left wing liberals decried the veto. Their leading lady Hilary Clinton lead the charge saying that “This is just one example of how the president puts ideology before science, politics before the needs of our families, just one more example of how out of touch with reality he and his party have become.”

Excuse me! Did she imply that it was wrong to place ideology before science, and that her party, the Democrats, are in more touch with reality? Last time I checked the scientific evidence does not support the global warming madness Al Gore is stuffing down America’s throat, but that hasn’t stopped the Democrats from following their ideology on that subject. Nor have they displayed any sort of reality check when it comes to dealing with Iran, health care, or a thousand other issues I could cite. But since today’s example of liberal lunacy was about stem cell research, I’ll just focus on that and wake them into reality.

But in order for you to understand reality on the stem cell debate, let me paint you a picture first. Image that you’re a parent, and you’ve just been told your child has a condition that will end their life. It’s every parent’s nightmare, but there is hope. Two doctors have a medical procedure that could save your child’s life. The first doctor, we’ll call him Dr. Hope-A lot, believes you should use his procedure. His procedure has been around for 10 years, but in all that time his it has never saved a child’s life. Now the second doctor, we’ll call him Dr. Get-It-Done, he believes his procedure is the one you should use. He has also been using it for 10 years, and in that time he has saved 300 children’s lives with conditions like your child has. Question: Which doctor are you going to pick?

I think the answer is obvious, and explains why this embryonic stem cell craziness is just nonsense. Embryonic stem cell research has been going on in this country and around the world for 10 to 15 years. In all that time the total number of health therapies developed from embryonic stem cells is exactly ZERO. While on the other hand, in that same time period, over 300 health therapies have been developed from adult stem cells. Even putting ethics aside for the moment, pure logic says you put the money where the results are. When you throw ethics into the equation, tell me how can taking the life of one human in the hopes that it can save another human can be thought of as a good idea. It’s preposterous. Did we think it was a good idea for the Nazi’s to experiment on the Jews in the name of science? No, we didn’t. The country thought it was barbaric and heinous, and so is this.

In a world were adult stem cells are actually being used to create viable therapies, in a world where research shows that we may be able to use our very own stem cells, and thus bypass organ rejection, in a world where there are so many alternatives to using embryonic stem cells, why are the Democrats determined to wade into the waters of taking of a life?
Well besides stupidity, I say its because a good portion of the Democrats just don’t respect life. They think an embryo is nothing more than a glob of protoplasm and not the life of a future doctor, president, or the first man to travel to Mars. Which brings us right back to the issue of science and reality.

The science shows us that adult stem cells work for the scientists say we need them for, so use them. The reality is that you don’t need embryonic stem cells, and therefore you should stop dismissing a life in pursuit of just to follow your ideology.
