forgot to mention your statment on rationed care. I don't believe for a minute that is what the bill is about. It's fearmongering, plain and simple, and what I don't understand is how a man that thinks he is intelligent, could think otherwise.

..."And you have the unmitigated gall to use the name of God when defending a man who believes "women's health care" is aborting an innocent child in it's mother's womb? That is really sick!"...

You bet I do. We differ on our interpretation of abortion, so just leave it at that. You are not the know-all, end-all authority on what God accepts and what He doesn't, and quit trying to convince yourself and others that you do.

Ken...Yeah, I'm brighter than that. I am bright enough to know that Planned Parenthood never pulls an unwilling woman off the street and aborts her fetus. EVERY one of the women who've had abortions at PP have gone to them seeking the procedure. If there are more black and hispanic women having abortions, maybe it's because there are more black and hispanic women who feel they need one. I'm bright enough to know that if a black or hispanic woman doesn't want an abortion, they won't go to PP asking for one. PP doesn't turn anyone away like my doctor did me. If a person shows up at their door, they will help. If it's literature about how reproduction works, if it's vasectomy, if it's abortion, they will help. Calling it genocide is propaganda -- nothing less. Maybe you're better at research than I am, but I haven't found a single example of a woman having an abortion at PP when she wanted to carry her pregnancy to term and give birth. If you can find examples of that happening, post them and maybe I'll finally believe you. Till then, I'm thinking that you don't like abortion and will say anything that comes to mind to oppose it.

Ken, I'm not buying your genocide assertions. For that to be true, Planned Parenthood would have to be a government agency roaming around snatching up pregnant black and hispanic women to kill their fetuses. It just ain't so and your statement that your assertions are beyond debate don't make it so. Yes, Planned Parenthood provides abortions to those who seek them. That's key -- the people obtaining abortions go to Planned Parenthood for help. Planned Parenthood doesn't force abortions onto the unwilling.

You ignore the other services PP offers. Education in the reproductive functions of the human body is offered to those who don't have the knowlege they need. I went for a vasectomy after my doctor refused my request because I didn't have any kids. The idiot couldn't believe that I wanted to NEVER have any. Planned Parenthood not only provided the service I requested, they did it a price that was far lower than I would have paid my doctor. You know what, Ken? That vasectomy possibly PREVENTED an abortion from taking place! If all PP was interested in is "killing babies" why would they provide the means to prevent the necessity for wanting one?

Ken: Your premise that Planned Parenthood was/is a veiled program of "genocide" against Blacks and Hispanics is absurd. The argument got no traction in the past and it is still spinning its wheels today. Your listing of a few Black public figures to bolster the "validity" of your argument mirrors the media coverage of the RNC nomination process in which the cameras would repeatedly show us closeups of a smattering of Black faces to bolster the argument that the Republican Party was not just a bunch of old white people.

As for the need for a "science czar", perhaps if the last administration hadn't muddied the waters so badly between science and theology there wouldn't be a need to reeducate the public. Your creative use of euphemisms like "genocide against living infants" instead of "abortion" belies your claim of being a straight talker speaking truth to power.

Please provide some specifics to your assertion that homosexuals are the Brown Shirts of the Obama administration. I do not recall seeing a legion of gays/lesbians/transgenders goose-stepping down Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House.

Finally, let's address your assertion that President Obama attempted to indoctrinate school children to support his political agenda. Your statement is a lie. Let me say that again. YOUR STATEMENT IS A LIE. It is meant to mislead the uninformed and enrage those who blindly follow your vitriolic rhetoric. You attempt to condemn the President and his administration for what YOU believe he "would have said" or "wanted to say" while ignoring or dismissing what he actually said.

I am sorry the world isn't the way you would like it but I am tired of your hate fueled tirades and your interpretations of "The World According To Schustereit." How terrible it must be to live in a society you loathe so much and be powerless to change that which you hate so fully. I feel sorry for you. I hope somebody sees this post before you delete it.

Oh, and Kenneth, I am totally responsible for my mom. I am taking care of her, but I could not do it without her SS check, or her Medicare. That is what makes it possible for me to do what is best for her. She is now in a very nice assisted living home because she is getting more mental stimulation there than what I can provide for her at my home. She can interact with more people, they have activities for them, she has her own apartment (room) to take care of, and she is eating 3 healthy, well-balanced meals a day (she is pre-diabetic). I could not do that without her SS checks to help with the costs. When she is no longer able to stay there (she has Alzheimer's), she will go to the best rest home that I can find, and after she exhausts all of her money, Medicaid will start to cover the costs.
You see Kenneth, she doesn't want to be a bother to me or my family, she wants to be somewhat independent, and she needs to interact with people, to keep her mind as sharp as she can, for as long as she can. Sitting at my home and doing nothing but feeling in the way, talking to the same people every day, just will not do it for her.
Oh, and she just had major back surgery to correct 2 compression fractures and a bulging disc. It costs over $100,000 and counting. There is no way I could have afforded that, so without government help, she would have had to suffer in horrible pain for years and probably become paralyzed in time.
I, for one, know that government programs for the elderly are a gift from God.

Let me tell you a little story about before there was any help for elderly parents. My grandmother was a teenager when she awoke to her father standing over here one night with an ax, she moved just before he swung. He barely missed her face. In his older years, he had lost his mind, but there was nowhere to go for help.
Kenneth, did you stay home with your parents, have your family in their home, help them with every cost? Did you expect your wife to do it? Your kids?

Sure it was a better time back then. LIfe was simpler, but how many people would want to do that today? How many families could take care of their parents in today's economy. How many would?

I'm gonna comment about the czars. Read this

Off we go on another tangent...

I wonder if most people remember what it was like before Medicare and SS. That's when kids were totally responsible for their aging parents and all of their increasing medical needs. Could people still live like that in today's economy where both adults in the household have to work to pay the bills? I'm thinking that some people who don't agree with the programs would be the first ones to cry about it.

While I'm not implying, any insight as to President Obamas actions, "The argument that Planned Parenthood was being used, as an attempt to facilitate a program of passive genocide against certain ethnic groups"; has been made in the past.

To be fair, I believe this argument was made; against Republicans. I'm a die hard Democrat, but I'm no hypocrite.

I would also like to point out that during the passage of "Social Security", many considered it an attempt at "socialism". I've been reading a lot of old newspaper articles, that someone was kind enough to make me privy too. It takes a long time to go through them, especially when you can't take them home.

Surely you jest. *rolling eyes* (and) *shaking head*

You've already drank the kool-aid.

"The Obama administration has promoted genocide against the black and Hispanic races.... This is the truth. It is an established fact and beyond debate."

OK! You need another screed so you can "define" the truthiness about your definition of "genocide." I have to hand it to you, you've got Colbert nailed to a tee. Very funny!

Did you actually read Obama's address to the school kids? I'd like to see you do your Colbert deconstruction of it because it seems pretty harmless to me.

Keep up the humor! We need more like you in tough times like these.
