“I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.” — John Burroughs

 

I cannot understand anti-abortion arguments that centre on the sanctity of life. As a species, we’ve fairly comprehensively demonstrated that we don’t believe in the sanctity of life. The shrugging acceptance of war, famine, epidemic, pain and lifelong, grinding poverty show us that, whatever we tell ourselves, we’ve made only the most feeble of efforts to really treat human life as sacred.

What’s not to like about Ron Paul?

His racism.
His horrible economic plan.
His awful views on civil liberties.

Let me add to that:
• He doesn’t believe in the separation of church and state.
• He believes abortion should be illegal.
• He doesn’t support the repeal of DOMA and didn’t support the repeal of DADT.
• He doesn’t support putting more money into inner-city schools, but does support vouchers for religious schools.
• He believes creationism should be taught alongside evolution in public schools.
• He doesn’t believe HIV causes AIDS.
• While he doesn’t support a federal ban on gay marriage, he also doesn’t support a federal law legalizing gay marriage. Some see this as a states’ rights issue, and this is how he frames it, but he does support other federal legalization movements (drugs, for example).
• His newsletter spouted horrible racist content for twenty years. 
• He believes in reinstating the gold standard, which most economists believe was one of the major causes of several financial crises during the early part of the 20th Century, including the Great Depression.
• He believes in free market Capitalism.
• He wants to get rid of Affirmative Action.

This picture of him makes me laugh. 

I have a few reasons I’d like to contribute…
He voted to ban same-sex couples from adopting children (in DC)
He wants to eliminate the department of education
He is against raising taxes on the 1%
He wants to get rid of income tax all together
He wants to deregulate Wall St.
He thinks climate change is a hoax
He is against the EPA- even after the Gulf Oil spill of 2010 he was advocating deregulating big business and oil companies
He wants to repeal The Affordable Healthcare Act
He would do away with medicaid, medicare, food stamps, welfare, and social security.
He was against the Civil Rights Act & the Americans with Disabilities Act
He has been in government for about 14 years and has only gotten ONE of his bills passed (out of 464)
He is against increasing airport security, proposing that instead we just give pilots guns (no joke).
Against the Auto-Industry restructuring which saved 2 million jobs and put our car industry back on top
He supports a state’s right to imprison people for having consensual anal sex in the privacy of their bedrooms

In Four Months, Republicans Introduced 916 Bills Against Women’s Right To Choose

What about the jobs? The deficit? The education gap? The wage gap? OUR FAILING GOVERNMENT?

I hope you find this as interesting as I did.

The article says:

It’s almost an unbe­liev­able fig­ure — 916. That’s the amount of leg­is­la­tion that has been intro­duced so far this year, in an attempt to reg­u­late a woman’s repro­duc­tive sys­tem, and we’re only in April. This infor­ma­tion comes from a report by The Guttmacher Insti­tute, and it finds that 49 states have con­tributed to this num­ber with var­i­ous bills geared towards reg­u­lat­ing abor­tions and a woman’s right to choose.

I believe that Louisiana was state 50 and the only reason it was on the list was because its state legislature hadn’t yet come into session this year.  No worries.  It’s back and it’s on the repro rights hunt now, too.

Yes, Obama duped the young people of this country by not doing every single thing they want, so now they’ll all vote Republican. It’s like when I want some bread I will not settle for half a loaf, I will instead have a muffin made of broken glass.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

“The point is that Republicans are always talking about deregulation and big government. But I say their philosophy is small government for the big guy and big government for the little guy. And so, if my wife’s uterus was incorporated or my friend’s bedroom was incorporated, maybe the Republicans would be talking about deregulating.”- Representative Scott Randolph

SO MUCH WIN HERE.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Because now, choice is what state you live in.
Yeah, I totally have the time and money to pick up my life and livelihood every time some ignorant person gets into a position of power and decides their values are the law.
