Partial birth abortion is a brutal operation. It is done long after the fetus is viable and it's done way late into the pregnancy long after the woman should have made up her mind to have the abortion. <br /><br />Second, by doing so many abortions, these weren't all done to save the mother. They were usually done for mild health issues, and often, they were done with no real health issues at all. <br /><br />That's why he was controversial.<br /><br />The rest of your rant is nonsense. I don't call all liberals the "radical left". I'm not even sure that I use the term "radical left". I call Daily Kos far left because they are. When I have referred to Obama as a radical, I have backed that up with evidence.<br /><br />You show absolutely no evidence for your rant. <br /><br />As for Reagan, my piece was about Krugman and not very much about Reagan. If I ever said that Reagan invited people to his movement as long as they acknoweldged it was his movement, then that is news to me, the supposed author of said thoughts. <br /><br />You assign all sorts of thoughts to entire group of people which is just nonsense. Conservatives are not monolithic. They have political philosophy, they don't see the other side all in the exact same way. <br /><br />You are spewing a bunch of nonsense.mike volpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02999118519606254362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098264341625381422.post-35448113479893422802009-06-01T19:22:33.570-07:002009-06-01T19:22:33.570-07:00First and foremost, the only reason Tiller was "co...First and foremost, the only reason Tiller was "controversial" is because right-wing terrorists who tried and eventually succeeded in assassinating him found "controversy" in him.<br /><br />Second, I have a hard time disagreeing with people like Salon when the conservative movement is so heavily reliant upon 1. disgust for liberals as people, 2. synonymizing conservatism with being American, 3. anti-intellectualism.<br /><br />Your own posts are rank with epithets about liberals and liberalism. "socialist" "democrat party" "the radical left". All phrases designed to describe your political opponents as nuisances at best and threats at worst.<br /><br />Take your previous discussions of Reagan's management of the Republican Party. You said that Reagan invited people to become part of his movement, so long as they accepted that it was his movement and they had no control over its direction. The conservative movement seems to have extrapolated that idea to the nation as a whole. To a conservative, liberals are welcome to live in this country, so long as they acknowledge that this country belongs to the conservatives and that liberals live here at their discretion.<br /><br />You feed people enough rhetoric about liberals collaborating with terrorists, imposing socialism and tyranny, forcibly disarming the population, forcing unqualified minorities into positions of authority, banning them from practicing their religion, stealing from them so liberal cronies can live slothful and immoral lives, a case can in fact be made that you are asking for things like this to happen. Liberals demonized Bush, but they wanted him to go to jail, or at the very least be impeached, not be jailed.<br /><br />This the second major instance of right-wing terrorism to occur since Obama became President. I just don't understand how you can continue to believe that everything good about this country comes from conservatives.<br /><br />And by the way, the age of consent in Kansas is 16, which kinda blows your "all girls under 18 years old were raped" theory out of the water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
