• Mussolini Convinced People That The Trains Ran On Time Under Him

  So, Obama is going to be president and we have a Democratic majority in Congress. I guess it was pretty much inevitable. People work in cycles when it comes to elections. One of these days, they're going to realize that the problem is not the parties, but the people. But, for now, we've elected the guy who thinks that partial birth abortions are swell, a procedure which involves bearing a child to full term, doing a breach birth, then inserting a set of scissors into their neck and sucking out the brains to ensure death. It's a procedure which has absolutely no medical justification. It's one step from infanticide. It's currently illegal because people came to their senses and realized it had gone too far. And our president-to-be fought to keep it legal. I don't know his reasons. Maybe he gets good money from that lobby. Maybe the Democratic party told him he couldn't be nominated unless he toed the line. Maybe he gets off on it. Honestly, I don't really want to know. *sigh* Like I said before, it was a hard election. I think that Obama is more on the ball for dealing with the economic situation, although will time will tell on it. I also do like that he's against the Patriot Act. But ultimately, we elected a guy who thinks that we should keep legal the practice of sucking the brains out of babies who are literally inches from being born. Combined with the Democratic majority in Congress, I predict that within the next four years, we're going to have a baby fully born, alive and healthy, and then killed by a doctor and it will be legal. And in the wake of that, we'll have rashes of mentally ill people killing children feeling that if the government can do it, it must be alright. I know people don't see eye to eye with me on the abortion issue. And I really wish that I could help people understand, but as long as people are willing to relegate some portion of humanity as less than human and are therefore willing to let them die for convenience sake, I don't anticipate being able to win someone over.

  So... I'm not planning on skipping the country. I'm not planning on some bloody demonstration as people from both parties threatened to do if their candidate didn't win. I'm just a bit disappointed. And this just means that those of us who believe that one should never be able to take a human life for the sake of convenience (incidentally, I'm against the Death Penalty for similar reasons) will have to work harder to get people to understand. We won't be the first country to have blindly followed the advice of our leaders and scientists only to come to regret the atrocities we've committed.

  They say Mussolini made the trains run on time (he didn't) but that still doesn't excuse him.
