In light of the above “divinely inspired” “scriptures” it would appear that biblegod is the biggest abortionist of all, and not only that but, considering the abysmal failure rate described in the cited links, is, at best, incompetent. Nevertheless, this alleged “omnipotent” “deity” is worshiped anyway, even though the actual physical evidence says that it is all a lie.
Only the most warped and twisted of minds could take a natural occurrence such as a miscarriage, and turn it into a "criminal" act. The abject absurdities and injustices brought forth in the legislatures by deranged religionists who have lost all capacity for rational thought indicates the serious trouble this country is in.

Just when you think Republican insanity can’t get any worse, we have Mr. Allen West (R-FL) stating that “"he's heard" up to 80 U.S. House Democrats are Communist Party members, but wouldn't name names.”
Just how in the fuck do these people get elected, anyway?

Original article and cartoon appears at: http://gulliversisland.newsvine.com/_new
Is the cartoon in question a legitimate example of constitutionally protected speech? YES
Is the cartoon in question racist? YES
Is the cartoon disgusting? Yes, it certainly is.
Here we have a female law student who testified before Congress in favor of contraception, and who was personally attacked, called a “slut” and bullied by Rush Limbaugh, who on top of all of that sh!t then insisted on movies. The cartoonist took advantage of Obama’s supporting phone call to Ms. Fluke and took the liberty of portraying the President of The United States of America as her “pimp”.
The of course, is nothing new for the Republican neo-fascist filth, who have been doing everything they can to destroy the President (e.g. McConnell’s “#1 priority to make Obama a one-term President”, etc.) and doing everything else they can to make him look as bad as possible, while doing nothing about jobs, the infrastructure, etc.. and doing whatever else they can to destroy the middle class, and restrict the reproductive Rights of and health care for…. women. Of course, the male impotence drug Viagra, etc., is covered under many health care plans. But when women need the feminine health care services provided by Planned Parenthood, that should, according to these misogynists, be eliminated.
Make no bones about it, the church is sitting there waiting in the wings to resume its unholy authoritarian alliance with the state, just as it was in the dark ages, and just as it was in Nazi Germany. (see also http://www.nobeliefs.com/Hitler1.htm ) The goal is have one nation with ONLY Christians in it, while all others are, as per dominionist fanatic Rushdooney, scheduled for “progressive elimination”.
The Republicans have showed their cards. They are already abrogating Freedom and Liberty wherever they have control, and reducing women to second class citizens. The cartoon illustrates that mind set completely.

My condolences to his wife and family.
Having said that, after witnessing his tirade against peaceful Occupy protesters, who he inferred were “rapists”, and the continuous lies perpetrated in the Acorn debacle, etc., we discovered that he was another far right extremist, to whom the actual truth meant little or nothing.
As we know, rot in the soul will translate into rot in the body. That is one of the Workings of Metaphysics. Am I surprised by his passing? Not at all.

These Republican LIARS keep trotting out all of their bullshit. There is NO LINK between cancer and abortion:

But then again, these religionists know that the stupid, ignorant, gullible sheeple will believe any load of nonsense that they are fed. E.G.......
Lying for biblegod, a centuries-long tradition:

And if all of these lies, fabrications, forgeries and flummery have worked so well for all of these many centuries, why not keep it up? After all, it adds up to money...... and votes!

This story really tears at the heart of anyone who calls themselves Human.
But it is not the only story. There are thousands more victims such as Sahar Gul, who have been brutalized, terrorized and murdered by the deranged vermin who are less than animals.
Quoting from the original cited article: “……..Ending abuse of women is a huge challenge in a patriarchal society where traditional practices include child marriage, giving girls away to settle debts or pay for their relatives' crimes and so-called honor killings in which girls seen as disgracing their families are murdered by their relatives…..” and “……...Last month, Karzai pardoned a 19-year-old woman who was imprisoned after she was raped and impregnated by a cousin. A local court sentenced her to 12 years in prison for having sex out of wedlock, a crime in Afghanistan. The judge told her she could get out of prison if she agreed to marry her alleged rapist, but she refused and gave birth to her daughter in prison……”
As we know, there were three countries who supported the Taliban as the “legitimate” “government” of Afghanistan. They were: Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and U.A.E.. The abominations described in the article are the direct result of fundamentalist lunacy, and the support of it.
To the fundamentalist “Abraham”ic religionist, a woman is nothing more than chattel, a second class being. We see this in Israel, with women being forced to go the back of the bus, or being spat upon. We see this in America with the assertions that no abortions will be allowed even in the case of rape or if the life of the mother is endangered. And this same horror plays out every day under Islamism.
These primitive, bestial practices will only end when religion ends. There are only two ways that religion will end, either by education as to their fallacies or by war. There are no others.
As for the religions of “Abraham”, I despise them all.

I fear for the safety of Alia el-Mahdy and her companion, Karim Amer.
Quoting from the cited article: “……The coalition contends that the pair have ‘violated morality,’ as well as inciting ‘indecency’ besides insulting Islam…..… …She has described herself as a “secular, liberated, vegetarian, and individualist Egyptian…….. …..According to Mayton, Muslim men are unable to take responsibility for their own actions, while saying that notable Muslim feminist Hibaaq Osman believes that conservative religious people all the world over, including the Middle East, are the most ‘sex-crazed.’ Concluding, Mayton wrote “At the end of the day, one may attempt to cover a woman’s body with clothes, force them into the home, but in today’s Internet world, women like Mahdy can achieve more naked than they ever can clothed and in the streets.”
“Violated morality”…. now there’s a total joke for you.
Perhaps the coalition should peruse this: http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/ We certainly don’t see anything that “violated morality” there, now do we?
Osman is absolutely correct when she says that “….conservative religious people all the world over, including the Middle East, are the most ‘sex-crazed’…..” After all, they have been the most pitiable victims of the egregious guilt/shame/fear/control-mongering foisted on the populace by the religionists. What should be natural and beautiful is turned into something “sinful”, by prelates who still cling to their backward and barbaric long-debunked “Abraham”ic dogmas, which were never anything more than myths and the inventions of men, anyway.
Interestingly enough, while the Egyptians are fighting for their Liberty and Freedom, deranged religionist Christian taliban extremists in this country are seeking to remove our Freedom and Liberty. This will of course, never happen.
We must do everything we can to assist those like Alia el-Mahdy, who have the courage to stand up against the insanity of religio-statist tyranny.

The assertion that a zygote is a human being with all of the Rights afforded by the Constitution is of course nonsense.
According to the Christian bible, it is biblegod who forms mankind in the womb….
Jeremiah 1:5 ~ NKJ: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you…..”
According to the Christian bible, Luke 1:37 ~ NKJ: “For with God, nothing shall be impossible.”
As we know, about 50% of zygotes never implant in the uterine wall to become viable pregnancies, and thusly are lost. Of those that do implant, addition ones are lost via the natural occurrence know as miscarriage or spontaneous abortion. If the zygote is indeed a human being, it would seem, as per the above verses, that biblegod is incompetent, because for a deity for whom nothing is allegedly impossible, a 50% implant rate is pretty abysmal.
Additionally, since it is biblegod who is allegedly responsible for everything that happens in the womb, with regard to naturally-occurring miscarriages, biblegod is himself an abortionist.
A woman’s Right to choose must be preserved, as must a woman’s Right to IVF as well, if that is needed. A woman should be able to decide within the first trimester if she wants the pregnancy. This is why education, contraception and family planning are so important. Where there is no unwanted pregnancy, there will never be an abortion.
My own personal take on abortion is: Partial birth and gender-selective abortions should be banned outright. Any fetus that has been demonstrated to be hopelessly diseased, malformed or retarded should be aborted. No woman should be forced to bear the child of her rapist, or to carry a pregnancy that endangers her life. My definition of human life is the same in-utero as ex-utero……does it have a heartbeat AND normal brainwave activity? If the answer is yes, then that’s a human being.
Any rational human will recognize the absurdities involved in the above “scriptures” when compared to the actual Human condition. People have the right to believe whatever they want to, and to live their own personal lives the way they want to, but that is where it stops. Dogmatic drivel promulgated by religionists will not be inculcated into the law of the land.

The 99% are tired of working hard and seeing their standard of living eroded.
They are fed up with the greedy criminals who proceed with reckless abandon in the derivative markets, etc., then get their asses bailed out by the taxpayers, while getting huge bonuses for doing it.
They are tired of corrupt politicians who are bought and paid for by corporatist fascists and who have no intention of doing anything for the common man, who elected them in the first place, and who are only beholden to their corporate masters.
They are fed up with deranged religionists/theocrats, who are trying to inject their dogmatic bullshit into government.
And yes, the 99% have NO INTENTION of becoming near-penniless serfs, in a globalist corporatocracy, while the über-rich gain an ever-increasing control over virtually everything.

The Tigers were the best of a weak division, and they were lucky to defeat the Yankees. Leyland held it all together the best he could, and I thought he did an excellent job of managing this ball club, especially with all of the injured players he had. We saw records set in this series. Cruz belted 6 HRs and the Tigers hit for a natural cycle in game 5.
Dombrowski has his work cut out for him this off season. We cannot afford to have any more colossal blunders, such as letting Granderson go (who, as we know, was with the Tigers in 2006 when they last went to the World Series). Delmon Young was very valuable, and was one of the prime reasons the Tigers even made it this far. He should be resigned. If the Tigers want to get real serious about competing for the World Series title, they are going to need more consistent pitching than just Verlander and Valverde. We’ll see if Dombrowski can come up with what it will take to get the Tigers to the next level.
