Abortion foe urges ‘Burn in Hell’ protest

WASHINGTON (AP) - Anti-abortion activist Randall Terry is calling on people to burn effigies of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid this Halloween, as part of a “Burn in Hell” video contest to protest the health care legislation in Congress.

Terry, founder of Operation Rescue, said Tuesday that the contest serves as a political and spiritual statement that “gives people a chance to peacefully vent their rage.”

“If Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid force us to pay for child killing and they die unrepentant, they will burn in hell for this,” Terry said in a telephone interview.

But House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., called the contest “unfortunate.”

“I don’t think appealing to people’s anger and in effect inciting them to acts which either display or in any way project violent acts is consistent with rational discussion of very critical issues,” Hoyer told reporters.

Abortion foe urges ‘Burn in Hell’ protest

I have been anti-abortion all of my life. As a youngster it was a part of my Catholic raising. Now, years later, I have long since left the Catholic church, but I am still as anti-abortion as I ever was. Not because of some religious ideology, but simply because it’s WRONG.

If it takes getting people angry, if it takes burning an effigy of pro-abortionists, if it take burning down abortion clinics, whatever it takes, the message has to be spread. Abortion kills the innocent. ALL abortions kills an innocent victim, late term abortions kill a viable human being!

Recently, one of my daughters was very sick, all of my regular readers know about it. She was also a bit under 6 months pregnant. Her baby was taken by C-section, almost 13 weeks early. That is an acceptable time frame for late term abortion.

My daughter in law was also pregnant at the same time, she was having some serious health issues and the baby was being affected by his mothers illness. For the safety of both mother and child, her baby was delivered 5 weeks early by C-section. Again, a delivery well within the acceptable parameters and definition for a late term abortion.

Both babies are alive and quite well. They are home now, as are their mothers, and they are doing all the things any other newborn baby does.

Below are pictures of my grandsons, Austin and Carson! They are 1st cousins and I am trusting in the hope and belief that they too will be raised to do what is RIGHT, not necessarily what is popular! Thank God I am an anti-abortionist. Thank God that my children and their spouses are as anti-abortion as I am! It truly is all in the raising.

I also know that there are pro-abortion people out there that are against the death penalty. That seriously blows my mind, it’s a concept I just can’t grasp. For them, it’s OK to MURDER a baby. It’s not OK to execute a heinous criminal that has brought death and destruction down on others. In my opinion, that is some serious lunacy.

Look at the picture of my 2 new grandsons. Look at the picture of ANY baby or child and ask yourself, in ALL honesty, WHAT did that baby or child do to deserve to be murdered? And then have the guts to answer yourself honestly!

Whatever it takes! That’s how far I am willing to go in an effort to stop abortion on demand. If that makes me some kind of radical rightwing extremist in the eyes of abortion supporters, then I am PROUD to wear the name!

Iraqis angry at security lapse in deadly bombings

BAGHDAD (AP) - Iraqis vented anger Monday at a major security lapse that allowed two suicide truck bombers to penetrate what was supposed to be one of Baghdad’s safest areas, killing 155 people, including 24 children leaving a daycare center.

Sunday’s twin suicide blasts in the heart of the capital targeting the Justice Ministry and the Baghdad Provincial Administration were the worst attacks in more than two years. They raised fears about Iraq’s ability to protect itself as it prepares for January elections and the U.S. military withdrawal.

The children who were killed were on a bus leaving a daycare center near the Justice Ministry when the attack occurred, said an official at the hospital where the bodies were brought. A police official confirmed the death toll and said the bus driver was also killed and six children injured. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.

Baghdad’s top security officials brought reinforcements to guard government institutions Monday and blocked streets around the capital, acting on intelligence suggesting such buildings could be the militants’ next target, Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, a spokesman for the city’s operations command center told The Associated Press.

Iraqis angry at security lapse in deadly bombings

When Saddam Hussein was running Iraq, you never heard of anything like these bombings happening. Maybe they DID happen and the Iraqi news was controlled to the point that the word never got out. In any case, you never heard of it happening. And the Iraqi people were unhappy.

Saddam was a brutal and sadistic dictator, he was merciless when dealing with his enemies. And the Iraqi people were unhappy.

When Saddam was fighting a war with Iran, the Iraqi people were unhappy.

When Saddam was killing the Kurds in Northern Iraq he was hailed as a murderous SOB along the lines of Hitler. And the Iraqi people were unhappy.

When Saddam was kicked out of Kuwait by American and coalition forces, the Iraqi people were unhappy.

When American forces were enforcing a No-Fly zone in an effort to protect the Kurds, the Iraqi people were unhappy.

When American troops entered Iraq in the ill-named Operation Iraqi Freedom, thousands of Iraqis, military and civilian were killed. And the Iraqi people were unhappy.

When Saddam was captured, many Iraqi people were unhappy.

When Saddam was hanged for his crimes against humanity, many Iraqi people were unhappy.

When the U.S. army was patrolling the streets of Baghdad and other major Iraqi cities, the Iraqi people were unhappy.

When Nouri al-Maliki was elected as Prime Minister, many Iraqi people were unhappy.

When the U.S. forces began their draw down, some were ecstatic, but many of the Iraqi people were unhappy.

When the suicide/homicide bombers continued to kill Iraqis, even though those attacks could no longer be blamed on bombing directed against American troops, the Iraqi people were unhappy.

I don’t know about you, but I seen a pattern of unhappiness in the Iraqi people. No matter what happens in Iraq, they are unhappy.

Maybe it’s time to bring our troops, contractors and money HOME. Let the Iraqis find their own level of happiness, in their own way, in their own time. And who knows, maybe my predeiction of a Saddam like replacement surfacing may come to fruition. I have believed that for a long time, as soon as we’re gone, a new dictatorship comes in.

Death penalty opponents rally at Capitol

AUSTIN — Death penalty opponents, convinced an innocent man was executed in 2004, staged a rally Saturday at the Texas Capitol to call for a moratorium on capital punishment and to highlight the controversial case of Cameron Todd Willingham.

Willingham was convicted of capital murder for the 1991 deaths of his three children in a fire at their Corsicana home. Forensic scientists have called into question arson evidence used to convict Willingham, who maintained his innocence until his death by lethal injection.

Dozens of protesters marched from the Capitol down Congress Avenue, waving placards and chanting “Hey hey, ho ho, the death penalty has got to go.”

Organizers of the rally said they want to bring attention to the Willingham case and Gov. Rick Perry’s shakeup of the commission that was investigating the science used to convict him.

“We urge the people and the governor to take a look at this case and examine the new evidence,” said Scott Cobb, president of the Texas Moratorium Network. “There is no scientific evidence of arson in this case, and if there was no arson, there was no crime … We want Texas to admit that it’s made a tragic mistake here.”

Marchers in Austin urge Texas to halt executions

I am a staunch supporter of the death penalty. What I don’t agree with is the merciful way that capital punishment is administered. I am a believer in doing unto criminals as they have done to their victims.

I believe that if some cretin commits murder(s) and is convicted of that crime, and his one and only appeal is denied, that cretin needs to be executed in the exact same manner that he/she used to kill their victim(s).

In this story, the primary reason for the protest in the Texas Capitol, was a particularly disgusting animal named Cameron Todd Willingham. He was convicted of setting the fire that killed his children. Like crime, like execution. Take him to some old, abandoned building, tie him to a chair, douse the place with gasoline and light it up. End of his problems in this world.

There is only one part of the Bill of Rights that I disagree with, the 8th Amendment, and it’s only a very small part OF the 8th, bail and fines, that’s great, but the cruel and unusual part gives me great pause:

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

I somehow don’t think the Framers had any idea regarding the depths of depravity that some monsters could sink to.

If someone unwittingly becomes a victim, that victim has NO option other than the cruel and unusual mood of their murderer. Does it not make sense to dispatch said murderer in the same fashion that he/she used?
