Dems are dead-set against requiring ultrasounds before an abortion. Why? Just what will it hurt?

Comparisons
Every time I look up, the dems are comparing another conservative to Hitler. I find two problems with that. First, Hitler was a socialist, nowhere near a capitalist. He was one of those who believed everything should be run by the government, though the truth be known, he just wanted the power. His idealism served only the purpose of gaining power. On the other hand, president trump believed in decentralization of power. Gaining power was neither his goal nor his desire. He was actually more powerful before his presidency.
Secondly, no one ever compares anyone to Stalin, a far worse man. I mean, if you really want to make a person sound bad, why not say he is like Stalin instead of Hitler. The only reason I can think of is that Stalin is one of the heroes of the communist movement. I mean, you will never find a true dem disparaging Stalin or Lenin, now will you? Have you ever heard anyone saying that so and so is just as bad as Stalin? Do you ever hear a dem say that he or she is as bad as Lenin? Of course not. That would be disparaging one of their idols.
Which brings the question to mind. What if I started using the phrase that so and so is no better than Lenin. I wonder just how long it would take for someone to jump on my case, one of the dems. No doubt that he will say I’m like Hitler. And by the way, I am not a socialist, as Hitler was.
A Word About Social Media
It is why I will never get on Ticktock or Facebook or anything similar. Perhaps I could be more well known if I did, but those folks have a serious problem. They publish lies without hesitation. The truth they disallow, while calling it a lie. That which aids and abets our enemy is welcome while that which encourages patriotism is verboten. They have permitted the rewriting of history, especially American history.
Well, let’s see what I mean. What about the virus. Much of what they would not permit from good ethical doctors could not be published. That damaging, which the dems wanted, was published and encouraged. Perhaps millions died because of that. It kept at least three effective meds from being used while allowing meds that had no effect. It caused two-year-olds to have to wear masks when they knew they had no effect. It obliterated the restaurant industry, especially in NY, NY and It just almost brought the American economy to an absolute halt. And then, as if that was not enough, they caused the US to go into a debt that we might never crawl out of, at least for another 100 years. Finally, they helped the dems outright steal an election right in front of our eyes. (Don’t tell me different. I saw what I saw. Others did too, but it is inconvenient for them to remember.)
People ask me why I won’t get on a social media. Now, you know why. I would appreciate it very much if you would let others know.
Incidentally, has anyone noticed the big increase in crime these last few years, especially shootings? Most of us don’t like it. The dems love it. It gives them a reason… well it just gives them reasons. That’s what they want.
Serious About Sirius
I guess just about every new car is equipped with Sirius these days and they come with a three month trial. Not only that, I have received a number of e-mails and now snail mail trying to get me to extend the trial. I really wished they would provide me with a simple check box, No thank you! Don’t need; don’t want; have no desire to have your services. Turned it down before. I will turn it down every time it is offered.
The hitch is that all communication is one way, unless I accept. They allow a yes but never a way of saying no. There is no way to reply to the e-mail and when I bought the car, there was no option to turn it down.
First, they have nothing to offer me. They have at least three jazz channels. They have but one easy listening channel, which is about one forth jazz. As far as I was concerned, none of the rest of the music was worth a hoot either. Did I mention I don’t like but about 5 pieces of jazz ever written. Not at all fond of it. Hence the question, if I don’t like it, why should I pay for it? For what reason would I listen to it?
Second, I wouldn’t take it if it were free. I have a selection of the music I like and I listen to that. I do not need or want anyone selecting my music for me. Moreover, I really get upset with organizations that establish one way communications. I’ve already had enough of that. I have signed up for a few things and then I can’t talk to anyone about it. The only way I can stop the service is to stop payment through the bank. In at least one case, I changed banks. They did, eventually stop bothering me, though I never got to send one message to them.
There is a person I used to listen to on the radio who had the perfect expression for such… “Customer NO Service. when I have a small problem easily resolved, and I try to speak to someone, I can’t. When I can’t speak to anyone, I get angry and terminate my business with them.
Now let me see. Let me consider the reasons I need Sirius? None! And I am dead serious about that. No need to ask me again. I have already made up my mind. There is no chance I will ever, ever change my mind for any reason. The only thing I ask from them is stop sending me the trash mail, of all kinds. Now. If I could ever figure out a way to get that message to them.
I Wonder: Ignorance or Stupidity. Maybe Bias
This evening I heard a report over the local CBS station. The report was concerning an increase in shootings on the road, mostly interstates. Now, don’t get me wrong. Although it angers me when someone cuts in front of me, I never consider pulling out a gun and shooting at them. Moreover, I would never think of such a thing should someone use their horn on me. Frequently, I deserve it.
I just really don’t get the idea behind the woman’s statement, “….the shootings are increasing because of the easier availability of guns.”
Okay. I might not have gotten the quote perfect, but that is certainly the gist of it. I have news for the woman. Over the last hundred years or so, gun laws have been passed left and right, mostly by the left. If she actually went through the process of getting a permit to carry, or a gun, she would not have considered making such an inaccurate statement.
The fact is, about 20 or 25 years ago, if a person wanted a gun, he or she could just go buy one. Not so anymore. The process of legally carrying a weapon has become increasingly difficult since the day I was born in 1947.
To be sure, guns can be purchased illegally. However, you can pass laws all day long and you won’t stop that, try as you may. If people can’t buy them, they will build them. Same as in the bootlegging days. They couldn’t get the stuff legally so the made it. Today, there are people who can make guns in any well equipped machine shop. Perhaps there are people who do. I think they are called gunsmiths.
At any rate, the woman was flat wrong. It is no easier to get a weapon today than any time in the history of the country, though the left still likes spread the falsehood.
However, there is a real difference between yesteryear and now in morals. Back 40 years ago, people had real respect for life. They drove with more respect for the rules of the road and the other drivers. Finally, frankly, they drove more responsibly. If people wouldn’t drive so obnoxiously, horns would not be used so quickly. If people were just a little less anxious to blast their horn, there would be less shooting. However, most of all, LET’S LEARN TO HAVE MORE RESPECT ON THE ROAD, as well as off the road.
Generally, we don’t shoot someone we respect unless it is in self-defense. I just simply cannot imagine a gun being shot on the interstate in self-defense…more likely out of anger.
Oh, yes. By the way. If those criminals were in prison, instead of on the highways, the shootings would be in the decline. Only a criminals shoot at people without valid reason. Only people who are without conscience arbitrarily kill people. In this day and age, we have a bunch of folks running around without a conscience, it seems more every day. They kill without remorse. Our society has taught our citizens that life is just an accident. We are now reaping the effects of that concept.
Just thought of something else. How could I forget abuse of drugs. I wonder, just how many murders take place because of drugs? I don’t see any efforts by the dems to rid the would of them. On the contrary. The seem to encourage their shipments from China and across the border.
What is it, 70,000 killed by drugs last year. Far more than killed by guns. Far, far more than guns on highways.
