Conservative Thread: We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once

[Tink & Goofy]

I couldn't discern if it was a problem with Planned Parenthood, or if it was a problem with the fact that it could be used for an abortion, or if it was the fact that getting medical services was creepy. That is why I asked.

Like I said before, giving a medical gift card is a little weird but not creepy. What's creepy and disgusting is that pp is essentially offering a prepaid abortion card. I have gone to pp years ago for a PAP before my insurance from my job kicked in but they are primarily an abortion provider and they make no bones about it.
I don't agree with abortion (I think it's murder) but I can't force my beliefs on others. So while I would like to make it illegal and I am anti-abortion, I can't say that I would do so. However, I can and will say that second and third trimester abortions should be illegal.
It's just that giving a prepaid abortion card is creepy.

You were in the seminary? Cool. I'm Catholic too.

Yes, for a couple of years, studying for the Diocese of Orlando. Now, I am in Colorado Springs with a fellowship program (John Jay Institute) and am bound for law school in the fall, hopefully Pepperdine.

Pepperdine is an excellent school. I tried to get into their MBA program "back in the day", but the relocation from Texas to CA was just too much for me to put the wife through.......Thus, I remain an Aggie.

Say hi to Ken Starr and Daniel Pipes for me when you get there. Two gentlemen I have much respect for.

There is quite a distance between seminary and the judiciary. I hope you enjoy the trip.

Good morning friends! Whew, just read back tons of pages to yesterday afternoon. I'm exhausted already. I see we've had alot of "visitors" who seem surprised at the comments from us conservatives, ON a conservative thread.

Anyway, I appreciate all the warm comments regarding my scrapbooks of family & friends.

I just uploaded another book that I made three years ago for my friend Suzan, who had just been diagnosed with breast cancer. She is a young mom, and was going to be facing surgery and radiation. It is done in the traditional style of scrapbooking, with alot of inspirational thoughts, prayers and well-wishes. If you'd like to take a look, here is the link.

It is titled Suzan's Journey Book 2005. If you know anyone who is facing a difficult time, making a book like this doesn't take alot of time, and is truly appreciated by the recipient.

The closest one is Seattle, 32.6 miles away. No thank you.

Ask any question you want, but I'm not sure why you're being sensitive about the responses.

Oops, there goes tone on internets again. I'm not sensitive about the responses, when I say I am thankful for the responses, and that appreciate other people's views, I mean it. On the contrary, I thought I was making you sensitive. I was afraid people thought I was mocking them for their beliefs, and I wasn't.

I admit I was a little sensitive that you thought I lacked the ability to see issues from a perspective other than my own. So, I wanted to clear that up. I am capable of seeing issues from others perspectives. I really appreciated your posts, because they made me look at how I was communicating.

Our sensitivity comes from unfriendly lurkers-turned-posters and those who demean on the CB. As long as you're friendly you're welcome.

Okay, this is long, but so dang funny!

Gotta love FrankJ at IMAO.

“Is my seal big enough?” Obama asked the press as he pointed to the big seal on the front of his podium. “Can you all tell I’m going to be the president?”

“We get it, Obama,” one of the press answered.

“Anyway, Biden and I are here to introduce our new national security team.”

“Hi, everybody. Good be here,” Biden said.

“I’m limiting him to five words per statement to try and limiting him saying anything embarrassing,” Obama explained.

Biden put his hand on Obama’s shoulder. “Clean and articulate, though black.”

“Are we supposed to know who that old white guy is?” one reporter whisper to another.

“I think he’s who Obama ran against.”

“The first cabinet position I will announce,” Obama said, “is my choice for Secretary of State: Hillary Clinton.”

Hillary Clinton stepped up to the podium. “It will be my pleasure to serve this administration, and I hope it will be a great success on the international stage. If it’s not, though, I plan to resign in a very public manner while blaming all of Obama’s failing on not listening to me.”

“Do you still plan to follow up on your vow to ’swallow his soul’?”

“That’s a personal matter between me and him,” Hillary answered.

“At least we didn’t get another black person with a funny name,” Biden remarked. “‘Condoleeza’. Come on!”

“That’s more than five words, Biden.” Obama looked back to the press. “The next cabinet position I’m announcing is Secretary of Defense — Robert Gates.”

Robert Gates walked over to the podium. “Obama was unable to find any Democrat who didn’t vomit and wet himself at the thought of violence, so he asked if I’d stay at this job.”

“You promised change,” a reporter said to Obama, “but so far you’ve announce someone closely associated with the Clinton Administration and a Bush appointee. How is this change?”

“Let me be clear,” Obama said. “My promises of change during the campaign were empty words. Empty meaningless words I said to get stupid people excited about me and give me money — stupid, disgusting, dimwitted people who were easily manipulated by empty phrases.”

“Everyone here smells!” someone yelled. Everyone turned around to see an old man wandering around in bathrobe looking confused.

“Reid, I told you to stay in your office and get a nap!” Obama yelled. “Anyway, let’s continue. My choice for Attorney General is Eric Holder.”

Eric Holder walked to the podium. “With Elian Gonzales, you all saw how I don’t have a problem pointing a machine gun at a small child. Think of what I’ll do to criminals.”

“Probably nothing,” one reporter remarked.

“Who was that?” Holder shouted. “Was that FOX News? Someone point a machine gun at him!”

“Moving on,” Obama said, “My choice for Secretary of Homeland Security is Janet Napolitano. She lived in a border state.”

“So what are your qualifications to secure the United States?” a reporter asked Napolitano.

“I can see Mexico from my house!” Napolitano answered.

“Hey, you know how hard it is to find any Democrat who knows anything about security,” Obama explained, “and I needed at least one woman in my national security team.”

“What about Hillary?” a reporter asked.

“What about her? Anyway, the last position to announce is National Security Advisor, and I found like a Marine General for the position.”

James Jones the Marines took the podium. “I have never been around such a bunch of dickless sissies, and I have not stopped vomiting since agreeing to be a part of the Obama administration.”

Obama patted him on the back. “That’s part of the differing opinions I want to have in my cabinet.”

“Don’t touch me!” Jones snapped. “You’ll get gay on me!”

Obama chuckled. “So these are the people that when a crisis happens I’ll call them into my office and say to them, ‘I have no idea what’s happening! I’m in over my head! Someone please do something! For the love of all that’s good and decent, won’t someone qualified please do something!’”

“We won’t let you down!” Biden said.

“You’re not part of the team,” Obama replied. “I only said you could stand on stage in front of the press if you’d be relatively quiet.” He looked to Hillary. “Any you — stop rubbing your hands together evilly. It’s freaking me out.”

I was going to say something similar in my rambling response last night, and ended up backing it out and sticking to what little point I was making. She's absolutely right, though. Sorry for the tension both ways, but we're kind of used to drive-by shootings regarding our points of view and beliefs. You don't have to go into lurkdom, nor do you have to fit a particular mold to post here. Goodness knows I don't (and I'm not entirely sure anybody here does) and they haven't kicked me out of the clubhouse yet. We just prefer that people can be polite about disagreeing, and your first post had the potential to be read as (yet another, old and tired) an insinuation that conservatives are uncaring people who don't want others to have access to healthcare.

Re. Napolitano: "...she can see Mexico from her house" That's classic!

I particularly liked this line:
“You promised change,” a reporter said to Obama, “but so far you’ve announce someone closely associated with the Clinton Administration and a Bush appointee. How is this change?”

“Let me be clear,” Obama said. “My promises of change during the campaign were empty words. Empty meaningless words I said to get stupid people excited about me and give me money — stupid, disgusting, dimwitted people who were easily manipulated by empty phrases.”



Of course, reid in his bathrobe yelling "Everybody here smells!" made me spit out my drink.

No worries, and thanks for clearing that up.

Oh - The Travel Channel is showing Disney stuff on Thursday [today!] - I think at night, Samantha Brown is going to Disney for Christmas! [it's a rerun, I believe]

Excellent!!!

Dang dog door. Who forgot to close it? I haven't even had my coffee yet.

Perhaps we can fix the door.

I'll help too!!!

Monday, January 19th, when Glenn Beck debuts on Fox News.

Just marked that on my Indiana Jones calender!!
