  1. Are you as outraged over the killing of Cecil the lion, by that lowlife American dentist as I am?
    I couldn’t be more outraged than you. most likely are, I have been against abortion since my son was born 47 years ago. Having a child is why we are for heterosexual marriage. The very thought of ending a life in the womb is repulsive to me and I am sure the majority of civilized human beings feel the same way.
    I am personally sick to death other these Trophy hunting, by wealthy American hunters who pay tens of thousands of dollars for licenses to kill protected animals for trophies and sport, only to place this poor beloved Lions hean on this Creeps wall.
    I have hunted for most of my life and would not shoot anything I wouldn’t eat. That said, the reaction to Cecil is over the top. I heard today that Cecil was an African lion. Well we have a lyin African as POTUS.

    2. Great question. Here are my half-baked theories:

      First, we have been conditioned by social media and pop culture stories formerly known as news. Think of it as a form of digital herding, steering directing. If Orwell is more your speed, think of it as alternately, Soma, 5 minutes hate, and the passification of the Deltas and Epsilons with the drug gas and the emotional appeals over loud speakers.

      Secondly, what is going on is just too horrible to process without damaging the psyche. Humans killing other human beings while politicians play games for their own benefit, the dismemberment and piece-parting babies. Babies!

      Seriously, many people are incapable of sitting down, tuning everything else out, and focusing full attention on such horrors. It would tear your heart out, ruin that upcoming shopping spree or vacation... Humans have all kinds of psychological mechanisms to shield them from harsh realities.

    1. I know what I believe it is, Hans, but I was more interested in learning what others thought it was.

      I think it's because most of us are witless, unthinking sponges who are too easily subject to manipulation by the enemedia.

      Few realize it, but most don't have a single thought, opinion or yearning in our heads that wasn't deliberately PLANTED there by the enemedia.

      Many years ago a radio comedian named Phil Cook was famous for saying "All I know is what i read in the papers."

      That was before TV, computers, smart phones and the internet existed. That's how old I am! ;-)

      At any rate, the line brought chuckles at the time, but it wouldn't today, because it has become the literal truth. Most only know what they are TOLD –– i.e. what someone else wants them to know for an agenda-driven purpose.

      That to me is he REAL issue underlying the very sad story of Cecil the Lion.

    3. I am hardly upset with the death of Cecil the Lion. He was 13 years old, the average lifespan of a male lion in the wild is 10 years. It was just a matter of time till a younger male killed him. Possibly one of his own grown cubs.

      Wild animals aren't the cuddly talking creatures of Disney cartoons. Mostly they represent a nuisance if not an outright danger to human beings which cause many billions of dollars in damage yearly if not. controlled. Dear automobile collisions cause about 200 human deaths and more than a billion dollars in damage yearly.

      Lions aren't an endangered species except in certain areas where they were once common. I know that zoos and circuses have too many and, although its not talked about, I suspect they segregate the male and females to keep them from breeding and probably euthanize the old and unwanted.

      I used to hunt but quit several years ago because I reached a point where I wouldn't eat game anymore, (I don't like the taste,) I ate too much when I was young. I never trophy hunted but I don't care if someone else does in a lawful and ethical manner. It would be unethical for me to hunt because I wouldn't eat the game but I would hunt to feed someone else if it was the most reasonable choice to feed them. In that case its no different than slaughtering domesticated (non-pet) animals.

  6. Because it will get more exposure here and it's open thread, I'd like to repeat my observation that Planned Parenthood gouges clients for abortions, sells (receives compensation for) the baby parts and never rebates the woman they gouged (both literally and figuratively).
    And THEY are the champions of women's rights?

      With regard to the Planned Parenthood flap, I think the stories denigrating the organization are more than a bit off base. I'm no fan of Michael Moore-type ambush journalism. It makes for good theater and certainly moves the Emotion Meter of its viewers, but I don't think it advances our understanding of complex situations or organizations.

      My hyper-active imagination can quickly visualize how two minutes of me on tape might make Hermann Goering look like a choir boy.

      On principle, I don't think that major decisions about the funding of organizations like Planned Parenthood, NPR and the like should be made in a fit of emotional pique.

      My wife and I are strong contributors to P.P. because of all the services they provide to expectant mothers (especially needy ones) -- services that aren't being provided elsewhere and have nothing to do with abortion. I also confess to some personal bias in that the Medical Director of P.P.'s New England Region is a good friend. She's one of one the most "high character" people I know and totally dedicated to women's health and their procreative rights.

      Regarding Planned Parenthood, whatever the stupidity of some few at the top, never has there been a more crucial organization at the local level. I was on the Board of PP of Waspirico County a zillion years ago, and saw firsthand how it provided absolutely the only medical care that a huge number of impoverished girls (and middle class ones as well) from Hixontown and Briarwood ever received!

  7. As usual you are 100 percent correct Ed. However, If you’re an overly sensitive tree-hugger, Libber, or a PETA person or if you are a person that blames all the failures in the Black communities including having 10 children before you at 18 years old, and unmarried on *White Privilege* then this story is going to make your tiny little brain blow up, but if you’re an honest American that loves this nation, if you are an every day hard working man or woman, no matter what color you are, this post is going to leave you with a huge TRUTH BOMB.

    1. Let me explain why the lion hunting incident incited so much wrath.
      It's a symbol. A symbol for the privilege of the 1% who can run around the world with the blessings of right wing tools and do whatever they damn please.
      Kill endangered species, climate change? So what? These scumbags (like Trumps's son) can do what they please and who the bleep cares what anyone thinks.
      Libertarians will even support them.

      On the other hand you have the Planned Parenthood tapes which have been heavily edited and represent a lie. Now it's nothing new for the fringe right to be led by the nose by edited media but you don't care about that.
      Now the judiciary has ruled that no further tapes can be released because they are a libel and what will happen? The right will start the usual whine about "activist judges".
      Never will they admit that this whole effort is based on a LIE. You are constitutionally unable to admit you are being led by the nose by a LIE.

      No topic has been changed. You value LIES and you value the rights of monied scum to destroy whatever they have a mind to destroy.

      There, take a look at yourself.

    3. 54 million abortions in America (or more) is anything but a lie.

      People are outraged at the Lion because they don't believe human lives have value unless they are "wanted". "Unwanted babies" are useless eaters. This is what most progressives believe. It's nazi ideology. Please show me where my logic is wrong Mr Duck.

    5. Let's give Ed a real example.

      1. A woman is pregnant with a child with a serious defect that means the child may not survive birth or the quality of life will be dreadful.

      2. The woman decides to abort. Now Alec's or Ed's opinion of that decision means bleep all.

      3. The woman decides, as is her right, that the fetal tissue will be donated to medical research.

      At NO TIME does Planned Parenthood independently contract the medical research (something that seems to offend Ed and Alec) companies. By law it must be the wishes f the mother and this legislation received Republican support before they became the tribe which rubs poo in its hair.

      As for an answer, Alec, I get a little sick of you fringe right wingers telling other people what they believe. First because you are almost always wrong and second because your lack of respect for anyone's opposing opinion makes you irredeemable.

      Myself, I believe one of the keys to reducing abortion is availability of birth control. Women are not going to stop having sex despite the fact that people like Alec and Ed would rather try to counsel them in abstinence only thinking for some bizarre reason that birth control fails more often than the human will.

      And Alec tie a can on the "nazi ideology" you primitive.

      Meanwhile, donations to Planned Parenthood are way u and the move in Congress will fail or you tyros will have given Hillary a terrific talking point that's going to turn out democratic voters.

      If what you say about the availability of both control is correct -- and I believe that your statement is accurate -- why, then, are abortions still being provided in thes quantities we see today?

      Delete
    10. Baysider, despite your statement, data does support you. As access to birth control has increased, yes, through the ACA, or Obamacare, abortions in this country have decreased, dramatically in some states.

      In Nevada, which before the ACA, we had one of the largest groups of non insured young people statistically. Now with those people being insured, under the approval and guidance of a GOP Governor, we have seen 15 to 20% drops in abortions.

      Google "Abortion and Birth Control Rates" and you'll find numerous studies beginning in 2012 to support this.

    13. If planned parenthood is only recouping expenses, why the negotiations?
      Why the difference in value of each organ, when they come in sets?
      I hate to say anything about costing an arm and a leg, but if the abortion is an expense, why is that passed on to the mother of the dead baby?
      Shouldn't PP giver her the abortion freely and pass the cost on to the customer, er, recipient?
      That would be recovering costs, because the abortion was already paid for.
      And how do expenses pay for a Lamborghini?

    It is a sad day in America when the President of the United States acts more in sympathy with our enemies, such as Iran, than he does to protect the safety and security of the American public against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. Perhaps he is the Manchurian Candidate, conditioned by decades of socialism and communism to betray the United States and cause America’s downfall from within?
    A deal requires give & take on both sides. In this case, Iran took & we gave. Go figure! Deal? What Deal? The "Deal" is that in 10 or 15 years Iran WILL have a Nuclear Bomb, that's about what this "Deal" amounts to.

    1. HURRAH! If true, I wonder why it hasn't been trumpeted all over the enemedia?

      Not long ago too many were ripping down he curtains, setting their hair on fire and generally carrying on as though the The Black Death were making a Second Debut.

      Unfortunately for our ever-degenerating culture the enemedia thrives on the dissemination of bad news.

      That's because, as a people, we've become addicted to Rage, Anxiety and Alarmism.

      Don't you wonder how and why that happened? I do.

    2. It is indeed accurate, FT.
      Everyone but Fox is reporting it.

      I'd say the intent is to have us addicted to fear but your mileage may vary.

    3. Duck,
      Fox News reported information about the Ebola vaccine two days ago.

    4. Yes, it probably would have happened at the NIH: Grants are given, the smart guys at NIH would be doing whatever work it is elsewhere.

      And yes, it was definitely covered by FOX..AOW's right.
      Who wouldn't cover that? Is that supposed to be political?
      It's fabulous news.

    5. We all should know by now, that CANARDO never misses an opportunity –– however small, thin, faint or ragged –– to politicize ANYTHING and EVERYTHING.

      Ca va sans dire –– or should.

      Never forget he admittedly LIVES to "cheese off" the right wing.

      Isn't it time we followed the sage advice given by The Farmer in the Dell, and LET "the cheese stand alone?"

  18. The University of New Hampshire holds "We are committed to supporting and sustaining an educational community that is inclusive, diverse and equitable." It's the first picture (6 women, one man (maybe) and half black) that goes with the statement that puts the lie to it. What were they thinking?

  19. Regarding asking unarmed military to await "first responders" - Does that mean the first responders carrying the body bags and toe tags for Decedent Affairs?

    Tammy Swofford supports a Doctrine of the Last Shot Fired. If there is an attack in progress, the last shot fired should be from a firearm wielded against the assailant. Turn the perp into a sieve. But don't stop shooting until the body doesn't twitch.

      Don't stop shooting till the body stops twitching, then stomp all over it with hobnailed boots, urinate and defecate all over it, then pour gasoline on it, and set on fire. Don't leave the scene till nothing is left but ashes and soot.

  21. So, Smirking, Uncle Joe Biden said that he’s taking a New Look at the possibility of a Presidential run!
    Yeah right, Surprise, Surprise! I’ve been saying that he would for the past 3 or 4 months. And I also predicted that Hillary Clinton WILL NOT RUN!
    Is this really news? Come on give us a friken break. The handwriting has been on the wall for months.
    All the news that has been coming out about Madam Clinton’s use of private emails when she was Secretary of State, The Clinton Foundation scandal , and the upcoming Benghazi hearings again, and the lies, followed by more lies. Yes, I know we’re still a long way from the 2016 election, but Madam Hillary no longer looks quite as invincible as she did 6 or 12 months ago. And Hillary's scandals piling up faster than anyone could have ever imagined. And I think that she’s already way past the point of total destruction. And to that the fact that Obama is not exactly in her corner in fact I think that he’s out to destroy her. And so enters Joe Biden. Sound familiar? Think back to her attempt to run in 2008 when Obama kicked the crap out of her in the Primaries, she was a Front-Runner then as well. Until the party threw her to the Wolves because they know she couldn’t win. So what has changed since? Do you want the truth? The Real Truth? Can You Handle The Truth?
    Hillary is unelectable and she has become brutally hard to look at, as well as being a liar and crooked... Hillary has more baggage than American Airlines!

    Put all that together with the fact that the people ore sick and tired of Obama’s lies, the voters want a candidate who is honest and trustworthy, and Hillary Clinton is surely NOT that person.
    It’s Time for Hillary Clinton and the Rest of Her Donkeys to Go Back to Arkansas

  22. @ Ducky: "Not a good idea to jump on the first release from Gateway Pundit. It has a long history of writing bull."

    1. Fool?

      Dabbling in commie pseudo philosophy, failed marxist theory, feminist post-deconstructionalism, etc is at least amusing when done by college kids, but it's downright sad when 'adults' wallow in it.

    2. SF,
      I was going to delete Duck's comment wherein he called you a fool (ad hominem attack, which administrators here delete at their discretion). However, on second thought, I decided that the exchange would get interesting if you came back with a response.

    3. You are comparing The Nation to Gateway Pundit?

      Their banner-logo says it all ducky. "Instigating Progress Daily". You can't be any more up front about your intention to bias the news than that!

    5. Duck,
      Interesting? Marginally so.

      The law apparently does require an investigation, and we have discussed that matter rather extensively in this thread.

      But, I hope you're right.

      Thanks for that link. I'm watching the last of the videos right now.

    4. As much as I detest Democrats, none of them have ever asked me to set aside my principles and vote for their candidate anyway, as the Republican Party did with Mitt Romney. I will see the Republican Party destroyed for that.
