WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Now, there are lots of headlines right now about battles over birth control and abortion rights. A federal judge in Texas has is upholding a law that provides abortion providers to show or describe to women an ultrasound of the fetus before he can have an abortion.

BARBARA WALTERS: And the heartbeat.

JOY BEHAR: It’s very totalitarian in my opinion. I mean, it smacks of forcing somebody to confront something that they have already decided they don’t want to deal with.

ELISABETH HASSELBECK: Can I ask you a question, though? Because I’m going to take my personal feelings about abortion out of this, but from a medical perspective- and I’ll ask this of anyone- you wouldn’t necessarily go in to get, I don’t know, say, a cyst removed or tooth extracted or a kidney that had to be, you know, examined and have surgery on, you would never go through any medical procedure without looking at an ultrasound, seeing an X-ray and the physician by no means want to do that procedure, go ahead with it without looking at the scientific evidence.

BEHAR: Doesn’t the doctor look at it though?

HASSELBECK: Hang on, as a patient I would just want information. To me, it doesn’t make sense why you wouldn’t- why you would ask for an X-ray for those things or an ultrasound but not in this case.

WALTERS: Let me try to answer you. First of all, it is interesting in every primary the subject of abortion comes up and it is always so controversial and so divisive and yet in the actual election, it plays a very small part. I always find that fascinating. It’s always an issue, but people, with it all, do not vote for the president on that issue. I think that in order to even think about having an abortion, to give up a child that is obviously unwanted, that’s why you’re doing it, it is such a tremendous decision, it’s involved with so much fear of what you’re doing and guilt.

HASSELBECK: But if that-

WALTERS: Wait! Then to have to go and be forced to hear, to see the fetus, to hear the heartbeat, to put more guilt on you, I think is heartbreaking.

How any woman can be so dismissive of the life of an innocent child is totally beyond me!  I have completely lost any respect for Barbara Walters that I had left, and believe me, it wasn’t much.  I’ve never had any for Behar,  and I actually use to really like Whoopi Goldberg.  She should have stuck to comedy.  I’ve no idea who Sherri Shepherd is….never heard of her, but perhaps she should find some more legitimate line of work?

With the White House under fire for its new rule requiring employers including religious organizations to offer health insurance that fully covers birth control coverage, ABC News has learned that later today the White House — possibly President Obama himself — will likely announce an attempt to accommodate these religious groups.

The move, based on state models, will almost certainly not satisfy bishops and other religious leaders since it will preserve the goal of women employees having their birth control fully covered by health insurance.

Sources say it will be respectful of religious beliefs but will not back off from that goal, which many religious leaders oppose since birth control is in violation of their religious beliefs.

First off, abortions are NOT health care. Unless both the child and the mother are in distress, and the doctors must save one or the other (I would CHOOSE the baby), then there is no reason for any insurance company, or a business should have to pay for an abortion. It is an elective surgery, then ends the life of a human being. I’m going to be rather crude here, and compare it to Queen Nancy’s cosmetic enhancements. Neither one is a necessary procedure.

Second, Shelia Jackson Lee once again proves how evil she really is, and has NO clue what true faith is. Republicans have fought to destroy God in this country? No, it’s the Democrats who have worked very hard to remove God from all aspects of our lives, in public and private. Republicans ‘do no work, help no one’? The Democrats have helped NO ONE. All they have done is create a greater dependency on the government, destroyed families, and created policies that prevent many from being able to find a job. Democrats are also rather notorious for their selfishness when it comes to charity. We don’t give a flying flip what his name is, or what color he is…that ‘race card’ is over used, and means nothing anymore.

Not only does this bill violate the U.S. Constitution by forcing people to buy something they do not want, it is also a violation of God’s Law! Whether you are Catholic or not, if you believe in the Word of God, then there is NO WAY you can accept this flagrant attack on your faith. Nancy Pelosi claims to be Catholic. She’s not. It’s just a word to her. The Catholic Church’s doctrine is, in simple terms, you don’t kill babies! Most churches, REAL churches, whose head is Christ, believe in the sanctity of life. Since the Methodists don’t, you can’t even call them a church.

You must ask yourself: Whose power is greater? Is it the government, or is it God! We will all have to stand before the Throne, and be judged. Do you really want to have the sin of the murder of innocents, with blood on your hands?

Exodus 21
22 “If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman’s husband imposes on him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23 But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

What could be more violent than stabbing a baby in the skull and sucking its brains out? What could be more violent than injecting a saline solution into the womb, burning the child, inside and out?  The methods of destroy the tiny life that is growing can only be considered violent.  Forcing people with true faith to participate in such actions is unconscionable!   And I must say, I find it appalling that ANY woman would believe the slaughter of children is called a ‘choice’.

The Catholic Church believes any form of contraception is wrong, and has taught that for as long as there has been an issue about it.  I knew a woman, who was a true practicing Catholic.  She had to get dispensation from the Pope because she had a medical condition that prevented her from conceiving safely. Both her life, and the life of the child, would be in extreme danger, and most likely, both would die.

I realize that a large number of churches in the U.S. have actually forgotten the reason the even exist.  They can’t seem to remember WHO is actually the HEAD of the church.  And HIS law trumps any that man foists on His people.

Spanking children can cause long-term developmental damage and may even lower a child’s IQ, according to a new Canadian analysis that seeks to shift the ethical debate over corporal punishment into the medical sphere.

The study, published this week in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, reached its conclusion after examining 20 years of published research on the issue. The authors say the medical finding have been largely overlooked and overshadowed by concerns that parents should have the right to determine how their children are disciplined.

While spanking is certainly not as widespread as it was 20 years ago, many still cling to the practice and see prohibiting spanking as limiting the rights of parents.

That point of view highlights the difficulty in changing hearts and minds on the issue, despite a mountain of accumulated evidence showing the damage physical punishment can have on a child, says Joan Durant, a professor at University of Manitoba and one of the authors of the study.

What a total load of caca de toro!  Spanking lowers IQ?  ROFLMBO  Are these morons serious?  The problem isn’t spanking…..it’s NOT spanking.  Kids have got this brilliant idea that they can get away with damn near anything, and there’s nothing their parents can do to reverse the trend, thanks ever so much to the weasels like this bunch!  Kids aren’t taught between right….no spanking….and wrong…. get your hind end whupped!

Proverbs 13:24 He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly.

We aren’t talking about beatings here. We’re talking paddling the back side when a child needs discipline.  If you love your child, you teach that child right from wrong.  Stealing is wrong.  Your kid shoplifts, you take said child into the store where he/she stole, and make him/her apologize to the store owner, or manager, return the item, then take said child home, put some whalluping on his/her hind end, and that kid isn’t going to forget……stealing is wrong!  And if he/she doesn’t want to get whupped, then said kid will NOT steal again!  It’s called TEACHING YOUR CHILD!  NOT disciplining your kid causes “long-term harm”!

LANGUAGE WARNING!

Dateline Portland, Oregon – February 7, 2012: Violence/Language warning. Viewer Discretion Is Advised. What was supposed to be another “Peaceful Protest” by Occupy Portland ran hopelessly awry and out of control this evening. The self described mob shouted profanity, broke windows, and sought to intimidate police and citizen journalists who would try and film it. Some occupiers overturned trash cans while others seemingly not in agreement with the vandals, uprighted the cans and tried to clean up the mess. Portland Police responded with the riot squad. A total of ten arrests were made, three caught on film, with two of the perps identifying themselves and claiming that they were just walking down the sidewalk and were pushed into the street. One claims the cops attacked him with a bottle. One of those arrested identifies herself as a “Emmalyn Garrett.” The other identifies himself as “Effy Artinez” (SP?). Chants made by the Occu-Mob included “Fu*k the Police!,” “All Cops Are Bastards,” and “America Has Got to Go!” Again, viewer discretion is advised.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t think anyone should be discriminated against, for any reason.  I do, however, feel that making a certain group of people a ‘special class’ is ridiculous!   It is more and more obvious that this country has lost it’s roots, and we are now floundering in the cesspool of ‘secular religion’.  The intent of the bills on the surface, and I’m just guessing here, is to stop bullying.  Well, we already have laws that are suppose to do that, as in ya don’t punch someone in the nose because they don’t think or act like you. 

Congress evidently believes they can overrule God!

Leviticus 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.

This is not the only passage in the Bible that sets down the law, but it is the most well known one.

A brief summary of what this bill will do (from an email from the Public Advocate of the United States):

*** Require schools to teach appalling homosexual acts so “homosexual students” don’t feel “singled out” during already explicit sex-ed classes;

*** Spin impressionable students in a whirlwind of sexual confusion and misinformation, even peer pressure to “experiment” with the homosexual “lifestyle;”

*** Exempt homosexual students from punishment for propositioning, harassing, or even sexually assaulting their classmates, as part of their specially-protected right to “freedom of self-expression;”

*** Force private and even religious schools to teach a pro-homosexual curriculum and purge any reference to religion if a student claims it creates a “hostile learning environment” for homosexual students.

In reality, the bills are promoting discrimination, but that’s not all that unusual for the radical left.

SEC. 5. FEDERAL ADMINISTRATIVE ENFORCEMENT; REPORT TO CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES.

(b) Enforcement- Compliance with any requirement adopted pursuant to this section may be effected–

(1) by the termination of or refusal to grant or to continue assistance under such program or activity to any recipient as to whom there has been an express finding on the record, after opportunity for hearing, of a failure to comply with such requirement, but such termination or refusal shall be limited to the particular political entity, or part thereof, or other recipient as to whom such a finding has been made, and shall be limited in its effect to the particular program, or part thereof, in which such noncompliance has been so found; or

So, let me get this straight…no pun intended…if a public school doesn’t doesn’t comply with this law, and put their (both student and faculty) eternal souls at jeopardy, the federal gubmint will cut off funding? Somehow, refusing to return OUR money to OUR schools just doesn’t seem right. Well, of course not…it’s wrong, aka LEFT.

Section 7, STATE IMMUNITY

(a) State Immunity- A State shall not be immune under the 11th Amendment to the Constitution from suit in Federal court for a violation of this Act.

So, a state can’t opt out of this obvious violation of the 1st Amendment? Am I reading that correctly?  People are suppose to be free to speak their minds, practice their faith, and NOT be penalized.  With these bills, a person can NOT practice their faith, or speak about it to others.  But yet, the religion of government is free to impose their will on the American people.  Does anyone else have a problem with this, besides me?

Please, go read BOTH bills.  They aren’t very long.  I don’t much care for bullies, of any gender, or status.  What I am seeing in these bills is the bullying of the American people by the very Congress whose salary they pay.

There is a petition to Congress, opposing these bills, not that Congress gives a flying flip what WE, The People have to say, but it doesn’t hurt to give it a shot!

Among the slick, million-dollar ads for the likes of Pepsi and Honda during the Super Bowl this Sunday, viewers in New York and Boston will see a far more modest spot. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino will be sitting on a couch touting an issue most politicians avoid like the plague: gun control.

No, actually, what they want is people control.  Control people, be a dick-tater.

The two mayors, whose local teams face off in the big game, are making the pitch for Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG), the organization they co-founded in 2006.

I don’t suppose both teams could lose, just to give both morons a black eye?  No, didn’t think so.  I won’t be watching the game anyway….I’ll be at church…”Lord willing and the creek don’t rise”!

Murder has been on the decline in New York and other major American cities for years, but the mayors say they still see too many dead cops and teens. On Tuesday night, Bloomberg was at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan visiting a New York police officer who had just been shot in the face in Brooklyn.

“We have someone who’s dedicated his life to protecting all of us, who has had a much too close brush with death tonight because of what appears to be an illegal gun,” Bloomberg told a news conference. He added that more Americans have been killed by illegal guns since 1968 than were killed in World War II.

I’m guessing Bloomberg doesn’t see the irony of that statement?  ILLEGAL guns.  Not law abiding LEGAL gunowners, but criminals, who can get their hands on guns about anytime they want….ILLEGALLY!  Perhaps the weasel should reconsider allowing law abiding citizens to arm themselves, and push back against the thugs?  Naw….that makes WAY too much sense.  What the clown is doing, is violating the citizens of New York’s Constitutionally protected right to “keep and bear arms”.  But that’s what libs do!

Tennessee lawmakers moved Wednesday toward ousting the Occupy Nashville encampment from the grounds of the state Capitol, after a legislator said action is needed to stop the “theft” of a public place.

A subcommittee in the House of Representatives approved a measure that would bar camping on state property without permission, taking the first step toward giving Gov. Bill Haslam the legal authority to remove the approximately four dozen tents erected on War Memorial Plaza. The move puts the legislature on track to authorize removal of the encampment within a matter of weeks.

A representative for the Occupy Nashville protest tried to convince the House Judiciary subcommittee that the tents are a form of protest that should be protected by the First Amendment. But members acted unanimously to endorse removing an encampment that the measure’s sponsor, state Rep. Eric Watson, R-Cleveland, said has fostered crime, lewdness and unsanitary conditions since it began in October.

I am honestly surprised that Tennessee has allowed those nasty beings to continue to camp on PUBLIC property!  I’m all for 1st Amendment rights, but these pigs have gone beyond ‘freedom of speech’ into, what some might consider, debauchery.  The Occupy bunch have a rather colorful history of filth and crime.

Tents are NOT a 1st Amendment issue.  They are inanimate objects, and have no voice.  Those who put those tents up have every right to express their opinions.  They do NOT have the right to hinder others from making use of the plaza that is owned by ALL the people of Tennessee.  It is past time for these children to go home, get cleaned up, and grow up!  Nobody OWES you a damn thing!

A U.S. Justice Department source has told The Daily Caller that at least two DOJ prosecutors accepted cash bribes from allegedly corrupt finance executives who were indicted under court seal within the past 13 months, but never arrested or prosecuted.

The sitting governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands, his attorney general and an unspecified number of Virgin Islands legislators also accepted bribes, the source said, adding that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is aware prosecutors and elected officials were bribed and otherwise compromised, but has not held anyone accountable.

Is there NO ONE accountable in Obama’s administration?

The bribed officials, an attorney with knowledge of the investigation told TheDC, remain on the taxpayers’ payroll at the Justice Department without any accountability. The DOJ source said Holder does not want to admit public officials accepted bribes while under his leadership.

I may not be the brightest bulb in the box, but even I know that bribery is a crime. And these criminals are still on OUR dime?

DOJ leadership has been fretting internally, the source said, about how to handle the story when the news breaks because it represents a new level of corruption in the Obama administration. The Holder Justice Department is concerned about the appearance that it lacks the competence to enforce the laws in which Obama has shown political interest, including those related to corruption and other financial crimes.

The list is growing of the Obama administration’s crimes. Under the so called leadership of Eric Holder, crime seems to be the norm for his department. When will we see the arrest of this feckless weasel?

New legislation introduced in the U.S. House yesterday would prohibit the use of federal money for advertisements attacking products like Coke and Pepsi.

Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-TN) introduced the bill to counter a growing trend of anti-obesity ads that are funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Scribe reported in October the money was included in President Obama’s economic stimulus law.

When I first saw that headline, I thought….there they go again!  But after reading the whole post, I must say, I totally agree with what I read of the legislation.  If there is other nonsense stuck in the bill, I’m not aware of it.  Now, I realize that diabetes is a very serious disease, and obesity is a problem, but to fake pictures, and attack U.S. companies that provide jobs for American citizens is taking it too far.  Not to mention using our money to attack those companies.

New York City received $15.5 million in federal funding for its anti-obesity efforts. While it has generated most of the attention for its eye-catching ads, other cities are engaging in similar practices. In Philadelphia, the city spent $2.4 million on ads attacking soda. Campaigns have also popped up in Boston, Los Angeles, Seattle and even Topeka, KS.

The 2009 stimulus, of course, was sold to Congress as a plan to revive the economy by creating or saving millions of jobs. According to Smart Taxpayers Exposing Waste, a campaign launched by the American Beverage Association, Philadelphia could have used the money it spent on ads to hire 52 police officers, 54 firemen, 57 paramedics, 58 teachers or 88 EMTs.

Now we know why the porkulus was such a failure.  It was pushed as a spending spree to get the economy moving, and provide jobs.  When the number of jobs that COULD have been created is canceled out by Big Brother pushing an agenda instead of considering the safety of citizens FIRST, I’d have to say the porkulus was a MAJOR FAIL!  If any city needs more cops (from reading SYLG), it would be Philadelphia!

Nothing like a visual aid to put it all in perspective.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations announced Monday night that it had successfully prevented retired Lieutenant General William G. “Jerry” Boykin from speaking at an upcoming prayer breakfast at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

“We welcome Mr. Boykin’s withdrawal from this event and hope that the speaker who replaces him will offer cadets a spiritual message that promotes tolerance and mutual understanding,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad in a statement.

When are we going to stop bowing to this terrorist front group????

West Point initially balked at the calls to remove Boykin — a former military intelligence officer — from the event.

Lt. Col. Sherri Reed of West Point told The Associated Press that cadets are “purposefully exposed to different perspectives and cultures.”

I can well understand why our future military officers would be exposed to “different perspectives and cultures”.  Wasn’t it Sun Tzu who said “Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster.”  Since we ARE fighting against Islam, who declared war on us a long time ago, our young men and women need to know all they can about the ‘enemy’.

“The National Prayer Breakfast Service will be pluralistic with Christians, Jewish, and Muslim cadets participating,” Reed said. “We are comfortable and confident that what retired Lt. Gen. Boykin will share about prayer, soldier care and selfless service, will be in keeping with the broad range of ideas normally considered by our cadets.”

I’d really like to know why there are Muslims at West Point, and in our military in the first place. Would FDR have allowed Nazis to sign up? Would West Point have accepted Brown Shirts? I see no difference in the two! Muslims were allies of the Nazis, and yet, here we are, trying to suck up to a group that would see our demise.

CAIR and the group VoteVets.org pushed hard for a retraction of Boykin’s invitation to the event due to his “Islamophobic” views.

CAIR and People For the American Way failed to stop a speech Boykin gave in Ocean City, Md., last week. This week it seems they have been successful.

I am completely disgusted that this Lt General would cave to the enemy since they evidently failed from intimidating him previously.  Muslims and socialists working together to silence him, and many others, should give EVERYONE pause!

Florida tea partiers would be most enthusiastic if former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum won the Republican presidential nomination, according to a straw poll conducted Sunday night by the Tea Party Patriots organization.

The straw poll was conducted following a conference call during which Santorum, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and answered questions and made their pitch to the call’s participants. Texas Rep. Ron Paul was invited to participate, but was unable to do so.

Callers were asked to rank their enthusiasm for each of the candidates receiving the nomination on a scale of one to five, with five being the most enthusiastic.

For Santorum, 35 percent of respondents said they would be the most enthusiastic, while 26 percent were in the middle. The rest were split among the other options.

Callers were also enthusiastic about a Gingrich nomination, and he had the support of 35 percent of the callers, with 24 percent saying they would be in the “most enthusiastic” category.

Romney’s support, on the other hand, was “balanced across the board,” with each level of enthusiasm receiving a similar number of votes.

Reading this, talking to many people, and comparing what is reported through the media, you’d think we were all on different planets.  Well, in a way, I suppose we are.  You see, the media, and the RNC elites have decided it is “Romney’s turn”.  On the other hand, you have regular folks, like me, who have decided the RNC elites, and the media, are full of caca de toro, and we aren’t buying into their BS!

Many of us figured out the last go ’round, that the Republican Party is no longer the party of Reagan type conservatism, which the MAJORITY of “R” voters are.  Those at the top have decided those of us who actually do the voting, aren’t smart enough to make our own decisions, so they apparently have sent out their talking points to the media, and have them pushing hard for THEIR choice for the nominee, instead of allowing us ‘small people’ to make our own decision on who WE want to see in the White House.

In 2010, we sent a very…VERY strong message to Washington, D.C., and for a few months, they did seem to pay attention.  Alas, as with all entrenched politicians, those ‘powers that be’ made a very unwise decision to buck the voters, and carry on with business as usual.  I think it’s time we sent them an even STRONGER message.

WE, THE PEOPLE…..do NOT want Mitt Romney as the nominee for President of the United States! 

As a VERY conservative American, my preference would be Rick Santorum.  BUT, I could live with Newt Gringrich.  The VP pick is also very important to us out here in the real world.  A combination of Gringrich and Santorum, Gringrich/West or Rubio, Santorum/West or Rubio would get us out here in the REAL world excited enough to actually put in some time and money?

So, you folks up there in D.C. might want to start paying attention.  You may not have a job come November 7, because we are not playing patty cake with you yahoos anymore!  We want our country back.  We are a REPUBLIC….not a democracy!  Please be so kind as to pull your collective heads out of your collective hinders!
