Santorum: Almost Remarkable For A Black Man' To Say We Can Decide Who's A Person
Edited on Thu Jan-20-11 02:53 AM by RandySF
Potential 2012 presidential candidate and former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) doesn't understand how President Obama could not answer whether a "human life" is protected by the Constitution from the moment of conception: "The question is -- and this is what Barack Obama didn't want to answer -- is that human life a person under the Constitution? And Barack Obama says no. Well if that person -- human life is not a person, then -- I find it almost remarkable for a black man to say, 'we're going to decide who are people and who are not people.'"

Speaking with CNS News, Santorum also argued against gay marriage and gay adoption, saying that it's "common sense" that marriage between a man and a woman "is nature. And what we're trying to do is defy nature because a certain group of people want to be affirmed by society. And I just don't think that's to the benefit of society or to the child."

1. Not sure if he said that.
Edited on Thu Jan-20-11 03:07 AM by RandomThoughts
But that actually comes from 1984 and declaring some people non people.

Like the concept of blacklisting.

And guess what, if they follow that the best they going to get is it backwards.

Since they said that about me, and guess what, I am Real. :D and so are all other people both mostly good and mostly bad.

It is thinking a person can decide that that might make them unreal. Then they can decide who is real, but only for themselves.

:D


And to those that like Orwellian concepts.

Ha, I made it through room 101. They got nothing.





And not about violence, nor what I think is best, but what is part of much of video games it seems.

Unreal Tournament.

And I am still due beer and travel money.

3. WTF are you talking about?
And who owes you beer and travel money?

How much beer and travel money do you need? Perhaps Skinner will let us take up a collection.

9. It needs to come from people that have more then they need.

Since I have been posting 1000s of posts explaining it for years, asking what I am talking about does not make sense.

Nobody owes me beer and travel money, but it is due.

In the book 1984 people that would not go along with tyranny were turned into non people. That is where much of the concepts of some people being real, others not being real comes from. It is also a delusion some have where they see people as monsters, many have that delusion, it is in the movie Langoliers also, so I know some other people know of that delusion.

It is a blacklisting concept if you do not follow some system.

If you do not follow some system, first they try to get you to do the same things they do to show you that you did join them, I avoid that. I say defend the system if you want me to follow it, if it is just you should be able to explain that and it should be shown by effect. And the fact that I do not have beer and travel money that is due, shows the system is flawed.

Then they try to scare you with room 101, that doesn't work.

So then they try to say you are a non person, no rights no citizenship.

It is a part of systems that use some status or blacklisting to control society by them being able to claim who is a person or not.


They tried to say I was a non person by removing economic and social interactions. I have shown I am Real.

Robert Eastwood, son of my father Al, My dads name was Al.

R E A l

and with thousands of other posts.

(Or I am steak sauce :) ) (humor because such delusions do not get to me)


So if they make a divide of society, they end up on the wrong side of that divide, thereby people that divide society actually put what they unjustly claim other people are, onto themselves. Or by law, someone making an unjust accusation, then that person making that must suffer the punishment of that crime they accused the person of. Although I try not to hold that against people.

And also how people create there own demise when they do those things. If you say you are in the club and some other group or person is not, you become part of the club of what you thought they should be in by that unjust action.

What part don't you understand?

The Unreal tournament part was my disgust at people thinking life is a game or about violence.

17. The real question is: what part DO YOU understand?
I'm betting on none. You are an elaborate parody troll.

20. heh,
You assume I post what I understand.

Remember I am still due beer and travel money, and it has been shown that there are people that steal and are thieves. So if I post in a way some do not understand, might it be because until beer and travel money that is due is paid to me, I am not going to do work for someone that has shown themselves unjust by not paying the beer and travel money that is due.

If you do not understand what I post, that might not mean I don't, just that those that have not paid what is due to me might just try and steal if they understood what I understand, or if I posted things in ways that they understood it.

What do I understand.

That I am due beer and travel money, that the world should be more just and compassionate, and that that debt due to me has not been paid to me, but will be paid.

21. Really?
Edited on Fri Jan-21-11 01:32 AM by RandomThoughts
RE Ally. You require some clarity on that, RE Choir.

Language can be against or for anyone, that is the problem of label trap.

Although I don't Rely on such things, since I don't think it is better, and try to reengage whenever I see a problem that should be Resolved.

Like the beer and travel money that is due. Although it may not be a Request, it might be a Reclaiming of what is just and compassionate.

Is there another Reason to not do what a person thinks and feels is best?


I was going to do an entire speech with all RE words, but figured someone else already did that :D

What a Record that would be.

you should really go back under that rock you've been buried under. Everyone will sleep better at night if you do.

8. Rick Santorum, SUUUUUUPER GENIUS---
"And what we're trying to do is <defy nature> because a certain group of people want to be affirmed by society. "
I see what you did there, asshole. You are tried to put forth the following argument:
Gay people do not naturally make more humans.
If we LET Gay people do this, eventually, there won't be any more Humans.
We CANNOT allow Gay people to cause the extinction of the Human Race.

Ricky is trying to make a profound EVOLUTIONARY argument in defense of his position, but he cant come right out and say it, because, if he does, NOT ONLY will the Evolutionary Biologists have a fuckin' FIELD DAY with his ass, but his own zealots will tear him to shreds, and he knows it.
Isn't he lucky that his own people are too stupid to catch him trying to use DARWIN to prop his bigotry.
The rest of us, not so much, you weasel.

The beauty of SCIENCE is that, if you defend it honestly, most likely, it will defend you back.
The GOP has forgotten this.

12. Every Republican is a presidential candidate
these days...

As a side note, I sure can't wait until I have enough money to donate to DU again and get rid of these ads. The ad associated with the OP is for ordering "Pro-Life Checks". Complete with the names of Mr. and Mrs. Pro-lifer embossed on the check. A pretty disgusting thing to see on DU... ARGH!

Okay, clearing my head and moving on to another post. :yoiks:
