“Another garment factory fire in Bangladesh. These factory owners/operators should be punished by being impaled on a stake in front of their burned out factory. And their execution should be televised.”
“Sending women out on the field to compete with men in the Super Bowl seems ridiculous. President Obama thinks sending women out into combat to compete with men is a great idea. And Republicans are accused of waging war on women?”
“I see Obama’s team is working on closing the Navajo generating station near Page. It will cost approximately 1,000 Navajo’s to lose their jobs to appease the environmental left. I wonder if the Navajo’s who are predominantly Democrats are beginning to realize like some the rest of us are finding out about the vote? You reap what you sow!”
“Every year 5 to 8 children die in backyard pools in just the Phoenix area. When are we going to get laws passed banning these child killers? Do you really need 20,000 gallons of water in your back yard, just waiting to take the life of another child? If only one child is saved with these laws, isn’t it worth it? Would it be worth it if that one child was yours? Enjoy your pool. And bath tubs!!! Don’t get me started on those.”

“I have to wonder... all of these very vocal right to life abortion opponents that are totally against abortion, no matter what the circumstances — are these same people actually signing up to be foster homes, or better yet, adoptive parents, for all the children they profess to want to save? If they aren’t willing to put their money (and time and effort) where their mouths are, it is just so much posturing and a desire to run other peoples lives.”
“Clinton now says she couldn’t punish the incompetents that were only doing her and Obama’s bidding in Benghazi. Then what were all the press releases about a couple months back that stated they had punished people? Oh that’s right they are Democrats, lies are all they know.”
“I think Hillary said it all when she accepted full responsibility for Benghazi. You cannot be strong and prepared everywhere for a sneak attack, especially when you are underfunded by your accusers. She is lucky, 2,000 years ago she would have been crucified for the sins of her accusers.”

sdjtaz: Have you heard of OBAMACARE? Please explain this being shoved down our throats by government!

sdjtaz: whenever I see something about giving blood it makes mine boil :)
I agree with you completely about conservatives who SCREAM for small government and that government should let people alone -- UNTIL they want to force people to live according to THEIR beliefs.
Then they are all for all the government it would take to make everyone do as they say.

Arizona Willie, you obviously missed my point regarding governments forcing individuals to give blood. Accuracy's statements regarding abortion implied that the government has a right to make a medical decision for an individual because of his belief that "every baby deserves a chance".
My entire point is that when we allow government to make these decisions, we open a can of worms. If we determine that the government should be making medical decisions for pregnant women, should we also allow the government to make other medical decisions.
If we allow the government to make the medical decisions for pregnant women, do we also allow the government to make other medical decisions also. After all, donating blood and donating organs after death are instrumental in saving lives. Yet we currently allow individuals to make their own decisions in these cases. My question is "do we instead allow the government to make these decisions for us and force us to give blood or organs in an effort to save life?"
I just find it interesting that individuals that constantly decry government intrusion are the same ones that advocate government intrusion when the actions (in this case, abortion) is something that they personally oppose. Part of the reason for these questions is to move individuals away from sloganeering and instead focusing on the hard choices that would need to be made to make their sloganeering come true.

sdjtaz, when they stop charging $400 - $500 a pint for blood that was GIVEN to them, I'll consider resuming donating.

Accuracy,
I have a few questions regarding your post:
1. How do you decide that when the fetus is a baby? Is it a conception, at viability,at birth or somewhere in between?
2. If you believe it's at conception, is that belief based on a religious belief? If so, do you have the right to force others to follow your belief?
3. Since you don't allow exceptions, then you must believe that victims of rape and invent should be forced to carry the pregnancy to term, even against their will? You don't think that these women will feel victimized again?
4. What if the woman's life is endangered? Is it okay to allow a woman to be harmed or die for the sake of the baby?
5. Should government force individuals to donate blood to help save lives?

VENT # 7: Concerning..... “all of these very vocal right to life abortion opponents that are totally against abortion”
------------------------------------------------------
Every baby deserves a chance at life – no matter their circumstance. The pro-life African Americans group “Life Always” is targeting the black community with that message. They are advertising to inform and educate individuals to choose life, always! Claiming that abortion is decimating the black community – many rape victims who become pregnant make the choice to get an abortion, and Planned Parenthood is the country's largest abortion provider.

Just one problem, Many House Republicans “ actually are whackos.” The far right fanatics who dominate the GOP cause represent deeply conservative, gerrymandered districts, and they aren’t interested in sensible compromises on spending and taxes. In 2011, let's remember , this crowd spit on Obama's Grand Bargain offer to cut the deficit over 10 years by $4 trillion. NYMag.com
Republicans need to broaden their appeal to Independents and that starts with rejecting the base's obsession with ideological purity. The party hasn't been marginalized because it's insufficiently conservative. The real problem is that the GOP “isn't tactically smart or persuasive enough to move the rest of the nation in a more conservative direction.” Until we figure out how to do that, Democrats will be calling the shots.

The Republicans' recent attempt to bend Obama to their will “cliff-hanging brinkmanship” have not only failed to work, but so alienated the public that the latest polls show the GOP ranks somewhere “below head lice and colonoscopies in popularity.” For the next few years Republicans should “go small,” Put up what reasonable opposition they can to the worst excesses of Obama's agenda, and let him make a huge, reckless mess.
