It's so hard for me to understand far right nut jobs

[holiday]

seriously.

I must be missing a chip in my head for crazy.

Do you equate the family planning services in bailout bill as money for abortion?

I go to this parenting website (Christian, but not all of them crazy, plenty of progressives and liberals). But the "republican" Christians there aren't even quite republican, if you can imagine.... I know it's hard to imagine this.... but they are worst than republicans!!

The family planning services that Pelosi was talking about.. well let me show you what kind of post it lead to.

"OH NOES!! ~~~ABORTION INDUSTRY NOW IN BAILOUT~~~ OH NOES!

Here is one of the posts there, so you can understand what it is like. (I had posted the talking points memo pointing out that the original bill was under Nixon that I got from here lol)

"Here's the thing, though, regardless of personal view of birth control or abortion . . . since when is it the government's job to limit government expenses (medical and education provisions for children which she specifically listed) by supporting and encouraging women to not have children. Where is this "choice" they argue to support? Where is this "reproductive freedom"? by putting stimulus funding in the coffers of Planned Parenthood--the number one provider of abortion--they are encouraging abortion and funding abortion and by using stimulus monies they are making a clear argument that killing babies is going to help our struggling economy"

Some of them have even said democrats are for killing babies because they can't vote *sigh* I need to stop going to the news section all it does is raise my blood pressure. Only things that make Obama "look bad" get posted.

1. It's really disgusting and ignorant! I cannot really read that crazy

stuff anymore. There is too much going on in the world to concentrate on the issues that these people concentrate on. They are just a divisive crew. We're not wired that way.

2. We are not wired that way

that's exactly how I feel. Because I read this stuff over there and literally my brain can not make the connection that they do. I guess I should be thankful!

3. There are some people so meserized by the abortion issue

That nothing else matters. The environment, poverty, crime, war - it can all go hang, but it is of the utmost importance to stop abortion. Yet at the same time, all they are really willing to do about it is elect Presidents who say they are pro-life, even though we got through Reagan and both Bushes and abortion is still legal. They aren't willing to help any pregnant girl out or anything. They just want it against the law. The unborn of women they don't know take precedence over any interest their own children may have, or the lives of Iraqis, Afghanis, or US soldiers.

4. They had their conservative POTUS, SCOTUS, and Congress

for a time and nothing happened to make abortion illegal. You would think they would wise up and realize the ReThugs don't give a rats ass about abortion other than pandering for votes.

5. The last line of your thread is so disturbing, it makes me wonder how you can stay there?

You said: "Only things that make Obama "look bad" get posted."

So... ... Why would you tolerate such a place?

Do you mean that if you wanted to provide proof and documentation about ANYTHING at all you found to be inaccurate, you wouldn't be able to if it put President Obama in a good light?

And this is a "Christian" website?!?!?

There HAS to be plenty of decent websites out there that don't scrub comments from its members if they make positive remarks regarding their president??

Why participate there if you can't contribute factual data to them?

I'd check with the DU section here for Christian Progressives to see if they can share some sites that aren't two-faced and that don't have a specific agenda like that one.

6. Read "The Authoritarians" (Link at bottom)

These people literally do not "think" like we do. They program their brains to receive certain talking points, which they repeat to themselves and everybody around them as mantras. To any other outside information they'll almost literally put their fingers in their years and go LALLALALA so they won't hear it.

"Only things that make Obama "look bad" get posted.

I'll keep kicking this - - - from time to time until the OP (Holiday) stops in here again ~~~~~

It's going to drive me batty until I can understand how she tolerates being a member of a sector of people who disallow anything positive to be posted about OUR President of the United States.

And they claim to be "Family Oriented?"

Anxiously awaiting your reply......

You can also post me privately if you'd prefer.
