Shorter Mona Charen

False rape charges cost the government billions of dollars every year, through the wasteful use of rape kits.
There is also the cost of prosecuting and falsely imprisoning thousands of innocent men who had the misfortune to sleep with a “liberated” young lady who changed her mind after the fact.
The fact is, if state and municipal governments across the country were to curtail investigations of bogus rape charges, or at least make the accusers financially responsible for the cost of pursuing these wild accusations, our country’s finances would be in surplus, instead of deep in the red as they are thanks to DemoRat tax-and-spending on boutique rape prosecutions.

I cannot count the times I’ve amazed pro-choice people with the news that there are even waiting lists of couples who stand ready to adopt Down syndrome babies.
Virtual litters of Retard babies await adoption if only the liberals would allow it. George Herbert Walker got him one.

Don’t most of us, deep down, really think that the most humane and honorable thing is to treat all life as sacred? Even if you are not religious or have no belief in God — doesn’t it appeal to an enlightened humanism to give support and love to the handicapped?
No. Where is this insane bitch from, hasn’t she been paying attention? No one gives a shit about the poor or the retards, its all about me, me, me.
Wouldn’t be surprised if this Charen person isn’t reproducing litters herself.
In fact, most pro-choice people probably treat the handicapped with terrific compassion and care. They doubtless support civil rights legislation like the Americans with Disabilities Act, additional school spending, and generous Social Security benefits. They’d be the first to hold the door for someone in a wheelchair, and they’d be friendly toward anyone with obvious mental retardation.
Stupid bitch can’t even start a bogus strawman paragraph correct. It’s “The fact is…”
And I’d be the first to kick her litter-having wheel-chair riding ass down a flight of stairs given half a chance.
But for themselves, they would abort. And there stands Sarah, Trig Palin in her arms, a beautiful ambassador for the path of humility, duty, honor, and grace. It’s no wonder she was in their crosshairs from the get go.
Who are these “themselves” all aborting?
But seriously, there stands Sarah, retard in her left arm, seal-killin’ harpoon in her right, ready to mount the monument of freedom with beauty, crosshairs and small town politics…

False rape charges do indeed cost the taxpayers billions, as do false child care expenses. I, for instance, once had sex.

Sarah Palin is a shallow, opportunistic, religious nut-job, however, I do feel sympathy for her and her baby.
Here’s where the problem is: conflating fetuses with human beings, and saying it is the same. Of course, Trig is a beautiful baby, BUT he is no longer a fetus.
Humanizing a fetus is not much different than humanizing a corpse or the ashes of a deceased. Some people do, they keep an urn in their home and talk to it as if it is still the same person. It is sad, but it probably has some therapeutic value. Now, does that mean that the govt should make us all keep urns with ashes in our homes and treat them as human beings?
The NYT story says that Palin was not thrilled with her pregnancy and it is a bit sad that she did not have the choice in her mind to end it. Now, however, I think we should all wish her and Trig well.
And beat her soundly in the elections.

I didn’t think they got a decision in the matter? If you are pro-life, you believe abortion is murder. So is Mona arguing that they considered murder? If not, if it is true that they had no decision, then there was nothing brave or admirable about it. They simply did what they had to do.
But there I go trying logic again. That will always be Epic Fail to the wingnut parade.

Re: Rape Kits. You gotta think like Sarah:
Of course they charged raped women for the rape kits–because they aren’t victims, they’re mommies-to-be! The rape kit is just the first step in building the kid’s memory scrapbook.

Demonstrate a belief in God that meshes with how the loonies think you should believe in God and you’d have to eat a Caucasian baby on TV while it was still alive before they’d even dare to think that you aren’t such a swell person after all.
But even then 1/2 of them would hop into their sandboxes to demonstrate there was no way a person could eat an entire eight-pound baby.

It is difficult to remember they keep touting their “choices” when the essence of their argument is that there isn’t one.
But maybe my brain is tired, figuring out how Alaska can be a “refuge state” for the Rapture, when all the Believers should have vanished by that time.
I think it’s typical of the wingnut mentality to loose track of the fact that they don’t really want to reform the world. They’d like us to keep Planned Parenthood and Las Vegas for them to sneak off to, and remain a point of scolding.

Told that the baby she was carrying would be handicapped with Down syndrome, she and her husband made the only decision their consciences would permit — to welcome this child with the same love they would give to any other.
Time will tell.
After all, she’s a professional woman, and he’s, um, at a no-show job for an oil company.
The children were regularly latch-keys. That might work for a child who is not disabled, but for a Down’s syndrome baby?
That’s child abuse.

Told that the baby she was carrying would be handicapped with Down syndrome, she and her husband made the only decision their consciences would permit — to welcome this child with the same love they would give to any other. That decision is comparatively rare in America.
Actually, she did not tell her husband. He did not know until shortly before the child was born. And then, she took a six hour plane trip after her water broke, which looks like a deliberate attempt to have a plausibly deniable deliberate death caused by delivery at 40,000 feet without a necessary neonatal ICU.
Even then she did not tell anyone. Not until Bristol visited the hospital room a couple days after the delivery and said, in effect, ‘WTF, Mom, this kid is a mongoloid. Haven’t you noticed?!’

You know, there’s something else that Sarah Palin is inexperienced about – and that’s campaigning for office.
She ran for mayor – that’s a non-partisan position. And, yes, even though she was shoe-horned in there by the Alaska Republican establishment, she didn’t run against a serious partisan opposition.
Same with being elected governor. She didn’t run a serious, Lower-48 style election campaign against a serious professional partisan opposition.
She’s looking good now, but I’m wondering whether she can sustain it. Gaffes, goofs, stumbles – even just opening her mouth and saying something stupid.
I mean, Barack Obama and John McCain both have a lot of experience campaigning, in multiple races. She? not so much.

Not quite. No matter how badly they fuck up, their leadership is always outstanding, UNLESS the only way to win an election is by acknowledging the fuckups of the past. Then their leadership was always already appalling, and it’s time for a change.
Thus, Bush is currently being thrown overboard after seven and a half years of near-constant adulation from the radical right. Same thing happened to Rumsfeld, albeit after a shorter period: he’s a great guy, exactly the kind of man we need, has our full support, *foom* has resigned and really was a bad choice on Bush’s part in the first place.
If you can get yourself to read Rich Lowry or VD Hanson, you can watch this sort of thing happening all the time. Nickel bet says that VD’s gonna do it next on Sarah Palin–he’s been cranking out the hagiographies at the rate of a few per week, which suggests that before too long, he’ll be writing a more-sorrow-than-anger post in which he points out that McCain has been a bit of a loose cannon all along, etc., etc. Cognitive dissonance doesn’t affect people who are wallowing in politics.

Regrettably, I am allergic to VD Hanson. His alleged “scholarship,” IMO, consists of nothing more than his opinion; his writings, of nothing more than conservative apologia. Were a time-travel machine ever to be invented, I nominate Dr. Hanson to be the first human test subject to take a ride in it; such a fortuitous confluence of events would only be of benefit to the engineers behind said machine, to Dr. Hanson (who could then do primary research in his chosen field of study) and to Dr. Hanson’s readers, who would no longer need to put up with his claptrap.

Yep. Lots. But she’s always wearing baggy clothes or a parka. She doesn’t look pregnant, but you can’t say with certainty that she is not, and that’s the wiggle room she is using.
I think Trig is Bristol’s spawn and she is pregnant for the second time. But since Mr. Johnson wasn’t roped into parenthood the first time around, the Gov took responsibility for it.
Not that it matters a rat’s ass – I couldn’t give a damn less. But the morality play is for the fundamentalist nutjobs who own the country.

Went to the link, & much to my chagrin, found myself agreeing with the Litter Goddess – why yes, Palin is a total whackjob! Submitted a positive comment & hey, presto: looks like I’m finally banned … BOOYAH! So, she won’t let me agree with her on her bloglike-thing. God, I love irony.
I imagine there ARE one or two dingbats out there with a hate on for Palin over keeping her special-needs child – but they’re obviously the mental doppelgangers of the wingnuts claiming she has experience in foreign-affairs due to governing a state bordered by Canada & (sort of) Russia. Also obviously just as pathetic.
No, I think little quirks like trying to ban books or lying her ass off on TeeVee to try & make Obama look stupid (geez, talk about projection) might raise a tad more liberal ire than what she opts to do with her uterus. What part of “Pro-CHOICE” does Charen not parse here?
Leaving aside the utter horseshit about a “counterfeit calm” (yeah, those US Embassies blowing up must’ve been very relaxing, so too the USS Cole bombing) … the FBI had 24-7 tabs on the 9/11 hijackers, right up until Bush called them off. If Chimp-Boy hadn’t've been such a criminally-negligent dickweed, those people likely could’ve been arrested before they did anything worse than calling strippers bad names while ordering more Jell-O shots.
Google “Sibel Edmonds” if you want to know exactly who terrorists might be getting plans &/or components for “unconventional weapons” from – hint: it’s not the Anthrax Fairy. Surprise, surprise: she’s being ignored now exactly like the FBI (& a certain “historical” briefing paper) were ignored in 2000 & 2001 when their alarm-bells were screaming as to a possible domestic terror-attack. I think her story needs a full Congressional investigation to either refute it or prepare the grounds to prosecute the scum who’d sell stuff that evil to anyone with the scratch to get it, ASAP – because that story makes Watergate look like kid-stuff.

El Cid is the transliteration of “Al-Sayyid”. This title indicates a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
So watch out for that guy. Better call Homeland Security and have him checked out.

And here I thought it was an anagram for “dicle”…

Why do so many conservative women look like aging Nazi dominatrices?

I’m betting the next kid will be named “STIHL” or “DELCO”.

No, no, no.
It’ll be “Yum! Brands Presents _______________ Palin!”

I think her next kid will be “Tron.” And he’ll spend a lot of time playing video games.

Ok, Tron Presented by British Petroleum Palin.

I’ll take “Spigot Palin” for the win!
BTW, has there ever been a politician who spoke openly about having had an abortion? It seems like Mona Charen assumes that it would be such a great benefit to any political career to have decided to abort, that Sarah Palin is thus extra-sooper mavericklicious to be so bold as to defy conventional wisdom and have the baby. Because everyone hates babies, it’s brave to have one, or something.

I had some amusing comments about Mona’s piece, but then I saw this–
False rape charges cost the government billions of dollars every year, through the wasteful use of rape kits.
–and my brain melted.
I started to say “gee I don’t think all the rape charges in the US, false or otherwise, cost over a billion dollars” but you know, melted brain, and all.

Actually, and I say this as a sexiness expert, those boots would be sexier without Mona Charen in them. Sorry, but that’s just how it is.

Hey now.
Buck up, Dorothy! For mindmelting, I recommend a frozen margarita sucked up through a giant straw. You could probably read freerepublic after that without ill effect! Well, except for the usual cold shudders and vomiting.

Hey, ever notice how the PLO blows up something like this: [brief pantomime of someone strapping something on and hailing a bus while looking furtively from side to side] — but Al Qaeda blows up stuff like this: [slightly longer pantomime of someone planting explosives but stopping every few seconds to do little ritual ablutions and things]. Am I right? Am I right?
