Some days I am shocked by what I see and hear. Other days, I'm appalled and outraged. Today, is the latter.

Ethicists Argue for Post Birth Abortions
.

In the Journal of Medical Ethics, two ethicists argue plainly for the killing of babies post birth. They’re not hedging their bets. They’re saying it plain and simple. And I, for one, thank them for it.

Alberto Giubilini and Francesca Minerva, associated respectively with Monash University, in Melbourne, Australia, and with the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics, in the UK, wrote a piece called “After-birth abortion: why should the baby live?”

I could buy the article for $30 and I was close to doing it but then I thought why am I giving these animals my money. I’d essentially be paying these “ethicists” to write more about the right of killing humans.

So, in the “abstract” that’s available for free at the site, it says:

Abortion is largely accepted even for reasons that do not have anything to do with the fetus’ health. By showing that (1) both fetuses and newborns do not have the same moral status as actual persons, (2) the fact that both are potential persons is morally irrelevant and (3) adoption is not always in the best interest of actual people, the authors argue that what we call ‘after-birth abortion’ (killing a newborn) should be permissible in all the cases where abortion is, including cases where the newborn is not disabled.

Here’s the thing - they’re right. If you accept their premises, they’re absolutely right.

The second we allow ourselves to become the arbiters of who is human and who isn’t, this is the calamitous yet inevitable end. Once you say all human life is not sacred, the rest is just drawing random lines in the sand.

An ethicists job is like a magician’s. The main job of both is to distract you from the obvious. The magician uses sleight of hand to pretend to make people disappear. But when ethicists do it, people disappear for real.

Personally, I'm onboard with this idea. So long as I am the ONE who gets to decide, whom and how LONG post birth. Listen, I'm no piker when it comes to this kind of thinking. I've drawn back a number of times, from the brink of deleting some pretty worthless 'humans' that I've encountered. So I won't be letting the air out of just anyone because I don't like them.

I'm a reasonably practicing Christian, so I have ethics that will not mimic the ethics of religious radicals, or political radicals who quite often kill indiscriminately, based solely on skin color or religious or political affiliation or sexual orientation. I know I am NOT God, retribution based on those original jobs are his bailiwick.

I'd stick to killing, sorry that's the wrong word, I'd stick to 'aborting' people who have proven to be dangerous to humanity as a WHOLE. I'd 'abort' proven murdering thugs. I'm talking Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Tojo, Kim Jong Il, medical ethicists who tout such 'ethics' as these. I'd take out the 'ethicists' first. Because what they espouse only emboldens the mad dog, murdering assholes of the world. I'm appalled and outraged that I haven't been allowed to start, before NOW!

A pox on their houses.

Be A Traitor, Win A Prize!

I must be getting old because i remember a time when if you were a traitor, one who endangered his country and his fellow soldiers, you were handed a cigarette and a blindfold, then sent to your just reward, with a bang. Not so today. Today, you sure-as-hell wouldn't be allowed to be so anti-PC by getting a smoke even if they were going to shoot you. No, today you get nominated for, are ya ready, the Nobel Prize for Peace! No, that's not a typo. You have the opportunity to join the ranks of past "winners" such as fat Algore and the Marxist-in-Chief himself. Obviously, the prize in a Cracker-Jacks box has more value.

This may be the reward for Pvt. Bradley Manning, the frustrated little queen who stole, then gave away, "tons" of classified military and diplomatic secrets. Why would he/she/it do something like that? Who knows. Maybe he was in need of attention. Maybe he had his period, or thought it might give him the chance to hang out in the men's locker room with all those big, strong, Marines. What we do know is that somehow, this Leftist little fag was allowed to sit at a military computer and have access to some of our nations top secrets. Obviously, the military needs to pay more attention to their screening process, assuming they even have one today. Then again, he's gay, so most of the rules probably wouldn't apply to him. I'd love to know who got him that job. Some gay General perhaps? If that's the case, Generals can be (and should be) shot as easily as privates...

If THIS story doesn't make you believe in God, divine retribution, and Muhammed as a false prophet...

This, for me, may be the story of the Century!
.
With a police officer wounded and the presidential palace breached, the Pakistani capital has launched a fresh offensive against a uniquely feared enemy in the Muslim country — the city's ever expanding population of wild boar.

Each night, packs of the hairy beasts emerge from Islamabad's river beds, parks and scrub land to rifle through the overflowing rubbish bins of its mostly wealthy residents and growing number of restaurants.

City authorities are laying poison and have announced free hunting permits to cull the wild pigs' numbers. But to make sure residents don't get caught in the crossfire, they only allow shotguns. There have been few takers. Hunters are wary of getting arrested by the police, or even worse — getting mistaken for a terrorist.

The animals can weigh up to 180 to 220 pounds (80 kilograms to 100 kilograms) and have razor sharp teeth. Adult males come armed with upward curving tusks. While they scurry off at the site of humans, they charge when cornered, alarmed or wounded and are a major cause of traffic accidents in the city.

The latest chapter of man versus hog played out in a city center police station last week.

"Someone shouted 'watch your back' but before I could look round the animal had hit me," said Sajjad Hussain, who was on duty when the animal slipped in past the high, razor wire-topped blast walls after guards opened the gates to let in a car.

.
Now I ask you, how funny is this?
.
The guys who think pork is nasty and shouldn't be eaten, who kill everything in sight that's non-Islamic and 'nasty' are being over run by PIGS?! You want to really drive them nuts? Tell them it's a delivery of wild pigs the Israelis wanted to get OUT of Israel. They dropped them in by parachute. Or in this case, pigrachutes.
.
I'm betting 4 or 5 guys from Arkansas and Oklahoma could fix this over a long weekend. If they can have time off, on Sunday afternoon, for the race, obviously.

Maybe BHO is right. NO, seriously!

Yesterday, in Miami FL, POTUS Barack Obama said that we need to develop pond scum into a fuel source.
.
"We’re making new investments in the development of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel that’s actually made from a plant-like substance, algae -- you've got a bunch of algae out here. If we can figure out how to make energy out of that, we'll be doing alright. Believe it or not, we could replace up to 17 percent of the oil we import for transportation with this fuel that we can grow right here in America." (Rush Limbaugh calls it pond scum instead of algae)
.
I find it odd, that a guy who is, by his own puffery and admission, a Constitutional Expert can know so much about the forefront of fuel technology. Further, he knows enough to be able to tell us how much of our current liquid fuel needs could be replaced. The SOB's good I'll give him that. But maybe he's right.
.
By many accounts he's about as smart and effective a POTUS as pond scum. His ideas are those of Karl Marx. An idea train, that was repeatedly derailed in countries around the world in the LAST century. His ideas are like the dinosaurs of political theory. And where does FOSSIL FUEL come from? Old, dead, rotted dinosaurs. So maybe we should somehow turn the Presidential pond scum / dinosaur into the fuel of the future.

What was that substance they were mining in "Avatar"? Unobtainium?! Yeah that's it. So, following on Obama's pop-reference love of all things lefty-Hollywood or lefty-entertainment community...I'll steal from "Avatar", we'll call the pond scum / dino PoliSci theory fuel..
.
.
Obamatanium!!!!

.
I might go throw up now. At this point of his Monarchy, the very idea that he understands anything, much less cutting edge science is laughable for us, and all too sad for him.

Pass The Kool-Aid

Fresh from her latest vacation, Mrs. Thunder-Thighs sat down with a bunch of rich liberal Demoncrats and told them how rich folks are destroying this country. It does take balls to insult people when you've got your hands in their pockets. And, just to prove they are useful idiots, they actually paid her to be insulted! She pretty-much told them that in order to feel good, they should give their wealth to "the needy". (i.e. black people) Of course, she didn't bother telling them that even if they gave all their wealth to the "needy", that wouldn't make the so-called poor folks rich, it would simply make rich folks poor also. Typical Cloward and Piven.

But why would the arrogant, racist, anti-American Mrs. Odumbo want everyone (other than herself of course) to be poor? Well, what do the poor need and want? BIG government! They want the hand that feeds them to be bigger so they can get more. And why do those on the radical Left want the govt. to get bigger? No, it's not to help the poor. It's to have more control of the people. Yes, it's all about, CONTROL!

No, you're wrong. That's NOT a seal...

File this one under, From the Mouths of Babes.
.
So, as we know, President's Day was Monday. I'm not touching the whole two President's sharing a day so MLK can HAVE a day thing. I think we should have added another holiday. OK, I did touch it.
.
I'm sure that schools nationwide touched on President's, the jobs they do, their racist views, how many Indians they killed, their whiteness, etc.
.
My younger, local, grandson had a sheet from 1st Grade today, that had the Presidential Seal on it, and he was supposed to color the seal, and then cut it out. He did NOT complete the sheet because the sheet was wrong and he KNEW it. He told his grandmother, Mrs. Schteveo, that he did not want to finish the sheet for a couple reasons.
.
"I didn't want to do it, because it's stupid...and Grandma, that's NOT a seal...it's an eagle!"
.
I tried to explain the term 'seal', the non-animal kind of seal.
.
"It comes from when Kings and Queens had a big metal disc they used for afixing or giving their official approval to documents, papers, records, etc, and they called the metal disc a seal. That 'circle' there is the 'seal' for whoever is our President."
.
He looked at me, looked at the sheet and said, "...it's an eagle."
.
I'm with him, it's an eagle alright.

You won't sleep any safer, and here's why...

My brother sent this to me over the weekend.
.
These are some truly scary stats and opinions from a Econ Prof from FL, about his 'students'. And I'm betting his students are average and typical. I think it's a private school, so they may be above average in smarts and above that in daddy's income and they still don't get it. They are not using their smarts part.
.
Here's the short list of things the 'students' think the government SHOULD provide.
.
. Free Tuition and Healthcare. Jobs
. Money for Housing
. Money for retirement
.
And the video from Fox News.
.
The professor does some stuff to show them he's all about "me, me, me" too though. We need to clone him and put one or 100 on every campus.
.
Here's where I jumped my brother's @$$.
.
AFTER sending me this and AFTER I pointed out that he's close to the interstate and some 4 lane connectors (less than a mile), AFTER I pointed out that students with this theory live close to him(less than 5 miles), AFTER we've talked about this stuff for hundreds of hours, my (goofy) brother STILL will not arm himself or his home.
.
I guess he knows better than I do. He's THE college graduate with the big house and cars and that means he's the smarter one of us, right?

Sleep Safe Tonight

That's right. Tonight, you and your loved ones can go to sleep feeling safe and secure, thanks to Butch Napilitano and her Dept. of Homeland Stupidity. And just what amazing feat did they accomplish to make us all safer, you ask? Well, DHS, with all their guns, dogs, drones, Billions in tax payer money to use, and God only knows what else, managed to stop ten thousand "dangerous" hair dryers from entering the country! There, don't you feel safer already?

What's that you say? What about the thousands of illegals who entered the country yesterday, or the thousands of tons of illegal drugs that came into the country yesterday? Hey, Butch obviously has priorities, meaning all that other junk will have to wait. Do you realize how many women would have been in danger from these hair dryers? What are you, anti-women or something?

A Modern Fairy Tale!

A young man walked into the local welfare office to pick up his check.

He marched up to the counter and said,

"Hi. You know, I just HATE drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job. I don't like taking advantage of the system, getting something for nothing."

The social worker behind the counter said,

"Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful daughter. You'll have to drive around in his 2012 Mercedes-Benz CL, and he will supply all of your clothes." "Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll also be expected to escort the daughter on her overseas holiday trips. This is rather awkward to say but you will also have, as part of your job, the assignment to satisfy her sexual urges as the daughter is in her mid-20's and has a rather strong sex drive."

The guy, just plain wide-eyed, said, "You're bullshittin' me!"

The social worker said, "Yeah, well... You started it."

Told you it was a Fairy Tale!

Worth Reading

The following was written by a former Marine who served in both Korea and Viet Nam:

My Two Cents:

Okay, I have to say something about the Marine pissing incident. Was it inappropriate? Yes. Would I have done it? Probably not. Would I have done it when I was 19? Maybe. Were there times that I may have done it in Viet Nam if time permitted? There is a good chance for, "probably". I was 22 when I was there and was called the old man and Pops.

We send kids a year out of high school to the worst hell holes on earth and expect them to behave better than they did at their senior prom. So many Americans have lived for multiple generations with security at home that they can't comprehend what goes on in other parts of the world. "War is Hell", isn't just something they say in the movies. First of all, you are exhausted all the time because you never sleep deeply. Your body is running on high idle even when you try to rest. The places we send these kids to, stink from lack of sanitation. There are bugs and mold and mildew and trash and human waste everywhere. You are in some level of fear all the time. You have seen, smelled, heard, touched and done things no sane person would ever want to do. There is no script for war. It is improvise at its best. Shit happens and it happens fast. A blind eye should be turned to many, many things.

We have no idea what led up to this incident. Did these kids eat in the past 24 hours? Have they slept in the past 36 hours? What did these talabaners do? War is about killing people and breaking their things. We have forgotten how to fight. You can't win peoples hearts while shooting their Uncle Fred. We knock down a dung and stick shed, and then replace it with a $12,000,000 hospital! Well who won that one?

This is how we need to fight.
1. Go in, kick ass on those who pissed us off.
2. Destroy their infrastructure.
3. Go home when you are sure they won't have the desire to screw with us again for at least two generations.

I hate war. I'm glad my sons didn't have to go to war. In reference to current times, we will never win the hearts of Muslims. They don't even like themselves, hate their family and kill their neighbors, so what chance do we stand. The only course to follow is to convince them that the cost of messing with the West is way too high.

Back to the pissing kids. Slap their hands, tell them not to do it again and not to try to figure out how pissing is bad and killing is okay. War is HELL; it sucks, smells bad and is bad for your physical and mental health. Don't sit in your recliner watching CNN and pass judgment on these kids...

Semper Fi,
Rog

When your kids' computers go too far.

I love this one. I spent the whole day on Fox news reading and writing comments.

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/02/10/fathers-facebook-tough-love-video-to-his-daughter-goes-viral-sparking-debate/?intcmp=features#content

If only more parents took a hard line with their kids when they needed it.

One of my former co-workers did something similar while driving down the free way. She warned the kids that if they didn't stop fighting over the hand held game she would throw it out the window. They kept fighting, she asked for it (and they, not believing she would actually do it, gave it to her) and she threw it out the window. As she watched it shatter into a million pieces in the rear view mirror she thought to herself, "I can't believe I just threw $250 out the window" But now her kids believe her, and long trips are more enjoyable, with a lot less fighting.

My moniker in the comments is Cavpilot67. I think I irritated a few people, but I had nothing else to do all day.

Did you know that you can come off of military retirement and go back into the military? at least until September 2013. but if you have been out for more than 12 months you have to go through a "regreening" process, which basically means you go through a modified version of Basic Training. the DI drives you everywhere, opens doors for you, never yells, but you still have to sit through endless hours of Equal opportunity, consideration of others, and sexual harrassment classes. You live in a barracks with 3 other retirees for two weeks, and you are so far away from everybody else that really, the only thing to do is sit on foxnews and make commments when the weekend gets here......but hey, I'm going back to what I love, teaching people how to kill people that desperately need it.

Early Friday Phunnies

Obama takes it to the bank, or is it vice versa?

President Obama walks into the Bank of America and says to a cashier, "Good morning Ma'am, could you please cash this check for me"?

Cashier: "It would be my pleasure sir. Could you please show me your ID"? ...

Obama: "Truthfully, I did not bring my ID with me as I didn't think there was any need to. I am President Barrack Obama, the president of the United States .”

Cashier: "Yes sir, I know who you are, but with all the Government regulations, monitoring of the banks because of imposters and forgers, etc., I must insist on seeing ID."

Obama: "Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they will tell you. Everybody knows who I am."

Cashier: "I am sorry, but these are government and bank rules and I must follow them."

Obama: "Make no mistake. I am urging you please to cash this check."

Cashier: "Look, this is what we can do: One day Tiger Woods came into the bank without ID. To prove he was Tiger Woods he pulled out his putting iron and made a beautiful shot across the bank lobby into a cup. With that shot we knew him to be Tiger Woods and we cashed his check. Another time, Andre Agassi came in without ID. He pulled out his tennis racquet and served an ace shot directly into the center of our bank logo 90 feet away. With that spectacular shot we cashed his check. So, what can you do to prove that it is you, and only you?"

Obama stood there thinking, and thinking and finally says: "Honestly, nothing comes to mind. I can't think of a single thing I can do."

Cashier: "Will that be large or small bills, Mr. President?"

Do You Remember?

As you get older, things that you were familiar with most of your life seem to become ancient history, and seemingly over night. It can be really scary! Most of you guys, (except perhaps for Steve) are probably not old enough to remember things like;

Gas @ $.25 per gallon
Small-screen TV's,
Real chrome bumpers,
Egg-Creams,
Being able to eat what you want,
and being able to say what you think without being arrested or sued.

And a bunch more that i'm sure you can come up with. What about privacy? How many of you remember actually having privacy? Do you remember the days when the only people who had your personal information were the people you gave it to? Have we reached a point in our so-called "progress" where people don't even care? Or, have we all simply become props for the govt. and the insatiably greedy advertising industry? Have you noticed that today, there's nothing you can look at, or listen to, or read, that doesn't contain some kind of commercial/political message? Could that be why so many people today don't even understand the concept of, relaxing?

Have we gone from being a nation of free-thinkers to a nation of weak, brain-dead fools who will accept anything that's done to us?

Weakness Begets Aggression

As i've said many times, IMO, the Republican Party, with it's unwillingness to "deal with" the Left, represents weakness. This opinion of the GOP may be more far-reaching than most people think. It may also explain why tough-talking guys like Gingrich and Paul have been doing far better than anyone would have originally thought. If the Repubs have any hope of winning something, anything, they had better take the gloves off, and i don't mean with each other. So far, the Republican plan seems to have been designed by David Axelrod.

While on the subject of political weakness, consider what would happen if a young black female, a liberal Demoncrat running for congress, went on a Conservative talk show, such as Rush Limbaugh, as was racially insulted and berated by the host. Would you expect to hear about it from the left-wing MSM? How many minutes do you think it would take before all the professional race-pimps, like Al $harptongue and Je$$ie Jackass, were on every single TV network screaming for the host's head, and job? In fact, would we even be able to hear them over the hysterical rantings of the NAACP and NOW? Unless i missed it, i haven't heard a word from any Repub about the below-linked story.

Being passive, polite, and playing the game of politics by some absurd and imaginary set of rules, will, IMO, surely mean defeat in 2012...

WARNING: F.Y.I.

(Daily Mail)
A new class of cyber attack is threatening PCs - emails which infect PCs without the user having to open an attachment. The user will not even be warned this is happening - the only message that appears is 'loading'.

The email automatically downloads malicious software into your computer from elsewhere the moment a user clicks to open it. The mails themselves are not infected - and thus will not 'set off' many web-security defence packages. Security experts say that the development is 'particularly dangerous'.

'Driveby spam also affects cautious users which would never open an unknown attachment or link. Previous generations of email-borne viruses and trojans required users to click on an attachment - often an office document such as a PDF. The new emails - dubbed 'drive-by emails' - have been detected 'in the wild' by computer researchers Eleven Research Team. ''This driveby spam automatically downloads malware when the e-mail is opened in the e-mail client," says Eleven Research Team.

'Previous malware e-mails required the user to click on a link or open an attachment for the PC to be infected.'The new generation of e-mail-borne malware consists of HTML e-mails which automatically downloads malware when the e-mail is opened. ''This is similar to so-called driveby downloads which infect a PC by opening an infected website in the browser.' The current wave of emails arrive with the title 'Banking Security Update.'

To stay safe, the security company advises switching all security settings in email software to maximum, and updating your browser to the latest version so it's protected against malicious software...
