I mean, why not just think of it as a “4th Trimester” abortion?

Dump your children here’ box to stop mothers killing their babies

Desperate mothers are being urged to drop their unwanted babies through hatches at hospitals in an effort to halt a spate of infanticides that has shocked Germany.

At least 23 babies have been killed so far this year, many of them beaten to death or strangled by their mothers before being dumped on wasteland and in dustbins.

Police investigating the murders are at a loss to explain the sudden surge in such cases, which have involved mothers of all ages all over the country.

My headline is facetious, of course. The blame for the travesty reported above rests squarely on the shoulders of the “culture of death” that permeates the extreme left. It’s penchant for destroying embryos at every stage of development has reached the mainstream, and Germany is probably only the first clear manifestation of their success. Really, if sucking millions of babies into a sink is OK, why is beating them to death and then abandoning them as garbage any different?

Before you accuse me of being off the reservation in this criticism, let me remind you that Peter Singer, famous so-called “ethicist” was given a Princeton professorship AFTER he opined that

“Human babies are not born self-aware or capable of grasping their lives over time. They are not persons. Hence their lives would seem to be no more worthy of protection that the life of a fetus.”

Now, you may agree with such a statement. That makes you a moral idiot, IMO, particularly if you consider yourself part of Western Civilization. However, if you can’t make a connection with a person of Singer’s beliefs raised to a position of stature and young German women beating and trashing their babies, then you are not only a moral idiot, but an intellectual idiot as well.

What is happening in Germany isn’t an accident, and it is probably happening here in the US as well. We just aren’t as good at practicing Peter Singer’s religion yet. I hope we never will be.

…rank-and-file Police to Kick this Scumbag out of Their Profession?

NBC Chicago video of an alleged off-duty cop beating a bartender.

This would have been one of those wonderful times where a bystander with a gun just shot the son-of-a-bitch. Call it an “emergency defense of another” and give the shooter a medal.

We all know cops have a tough job in this day and age, but it is THEIR responsibility to purge these scum from their profession instead of going “tribal” and defend them. We’d all have more respect if that was the case.

In August of 2004, Garrison Keillor wrote this angry anti-republican rant in an on-line magazine. I remember some lefty friends sending it to me.

Excerpt:

The party of Lincoln and Liberty was transmogrified into the party of hairy-backed swamp developers and corporate shills, faith-based economists, fundamentalist bullies with Bibles, Christians of convenience, freelance racists, misanthropic frat boys, shrieking midgets of AM radio, tax cheats, nihilists in golf pants, brownshirts in pinstripes, sweatshop tycoons, hacks, fakirs, aggressive dorks, Lamborghini libertarians, people who believe Neil Armstrong’s moonwalk was filmed in Roswell, New Mexico, little honkers out to diminish the rest of us, Newt’s evil spawn and their Etch-A-Sketch president, a dull and rigid man suspicious of the free flow of information and of secular institutions, whose philosophy is a jumble of badly sutured body parts trying to walk.

Wow! I guess he told me what for. I better get right with the state and secular humanist zeitgeist before I’m forever exposed as one of the caricatures listed above.

But WAIT! Today, Keillor writes another piece where he sound just like one of the people he blasted a mere 2.5 years ago.

Stating the Obvious (ad click-through required)

Back in the day, that was the standard arrangement. Everyone had a yard, a garage, a female mom, a male dad, and a refrigerator with leftover boiled potatoes in plastic dishes with snap-on lids. This was before caller ID, before credit cards, before pizza, for crying out loud. You could put me in a glass case at the history center and schoolchildren could press a button and ask me questions.

Monogamy put the parents in the background where they belong and we children were able to hold center stage. We didn’t have to contend with troubled, angry parents demanding that life be richer and more rewarding for them. We blossomed and agonized and fussed over our outfits and learned how to go on a date and order pizza and do the twist and neck in the front seat of a car back before bucket seats when you could slide close together, and we started down the path toward begetting children while Mom and Dad stood like smiling, helpless mannequins in the background.

Nature is about continuation of the species — in other words, children. Nature does not care about the emotional well-being of older people.

Wow. Here’s more.

Under the old monogamous system, we didn’t have the problem of apportioning Thanksgiving and Christmas among your mother and stepdad, your dad and his third wife, your mother-in-law and her boyfriend Hal, and your father-in-law and his boyfriend Chuck. Today, serial monogamy has stretched the extended family to the breaking point. A child can now grow up with eight or nine or 10 grandparents — Gampa, Gammy, Goopa, Gumby, Papa, Poopsy, Goofy, Gaga and Chuck — and need a program to keep track of the actors.

And now gay marriage will produce a whole new string of hyphenated relatives. In addition to the ex-stepson and ex-in-laws and your wife’s first husband’s second wife, there now will be Bruce and Kevin’s in-laws and Bruce’s ex, Mark, and Mark’s current partner, and I suppose we’ll get used to it.

The country has come to accept stereotypical gay men — sardonic fellows with fussy hair who live in over-decorated apartments with a striped sofa and a small weird dog and who worship campy performers and go in for flamboyance now and then themselves. If they want to be accepted as couples and daddies, however, the flamboyance may have to be brought under control. Parents are supposed to stand in back and not wear chartreuse pants and black polka-dot shirts. That’s for the kids. It’s their show.

Strange stuff from a Republican Bashing Blue-Stater. Garrison may just be frog-marched to the “Apology Podium” for that little rant. He’ll undoubtedly find many of his friends liking him better when he was bashing Republicans.

Oh well, at least he stated the obvious.

This gentleman just made my “Lake County Citizen of the Week”.

We need one or two of him in every county.

He’s the King of Small Claims
