People Sure Do Like Euphemisms

Posted in Abortions by

Euphemism

Noun

a mild or indirect word or expression substituted for one considered to be too harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant or embarrassing.

………………………………………………………………………………

I suppose there are other ways the word can be defined, but this looks as it is about as accurate as it gets.  Of course, we are a society that likes euphemisms, some more than others.  You look at the old gangster movies and instead of kill, we hear, terminate him, rub him out, or maybe just arrange a hit on him.

This country, especially the dems love euphemisms.  Instead of kill, they use, terminate a pregnancy, abort(ion), which implies the killing of a child not yet born.

Those that kill those babies are called doctor, physician or abortionist.  Those places where the killings are take place are called clinics, women’s healthcare centers, family planning centers.  The counseling is a simple question, “Do you want this pregnancy terminated?”

The actual act of act of killing or murdering is called a procedure.

It is also interesting that those who specialize in killing babies rarely perform any real medical treatments.  The killing of babies is more than enough to keep them, to use another euphemism, well healed.  They rarely drive cars over two years old and, of course, top of the line.  Their houses or apartments are generally large and well furnished.

However, to make this money, they need to turn out the killings as if on assembly lines.  I don’t know much about it, but I’d guess we are talking no more than 20 minutes per killing.

To date, there are no follow-up appointments to make sure there are no complications.  Then, needless to say, if there are complications, patient or parents are stuck with the medical bills.  Frequently the patient is left with the physical and mental scars that last the rest of their lives.  These scars should have been discussed during the consoling.  Naturally, the killer is simply to busy to be bothered by such things.

There are absolutely no requirements for the place where the killings are made.  As such, complications are frequent.  If serious problems happen during the killing, the mother might die as well as the baby.  Hospitals might be tens of miles away.  Also, don’t count on the killer having anything more than he has to have to get it done.  If the mother starts bleeding, she better hope for a nearby ambulance.

When I first thought about writing this, I considered toning it down some.  I considered using the euphemisms but I think it is about time we strip the nicety language and call it what it is.  You see, when we use the milder language, it becomes easier to face.

Instead of recognizing the life of the baby, he is referred to as fetus, or perhaps a blob of tissue, as if he is a cancer to cut out.  However, the true facts remain, that child, if permitted to live, will be person.  Actually, he already is, though the killers and those who prefer to allow the killings refuse to let the mothers realize it.

The instant a person brings up the subject of a beating heart or informed consent, those who are death-oriented will do their best to destroy the person(s) who had the nerve to bring up the real science.  You see, if you bring up such things, you stand in the way of maintaining the assembly line of death, and, of course, the money making opportunities.

Well, Nov 7, 2023, those who love death have had their victory, though, for sure, it is fleeting.  God does know how to extract punishment, especially on those who harm “the littlest of these.”  Those who kill and those who have had a part in it will have their part in the punishment.  And for sure, there are no euphemisms for what will be waiting for them.

Tough One

Name the most expensive thing you bought. (Not a home or car)

This is a good one. It takes away the obvious, doesn’t it? I have, over the years paid a lot for computers. I guess the one that was most expensive was a 2 thousand dollar laptop. I really liked that thing, a 486sx with 4 meg of memory. Most realize that it is a dinosaur by today’s standards, but in the mid eighties, it was about the latest and greatest.

It was what I started writing my books on, “The Secret of the Ring.” My intention was to change the world with it. Only about 25 people ever read it.

Also, I taught myself how to program in Pascal with it.

I have from time to time toyed with the idea of a small boat, but my wife wanted nothing to do with it. I came within an inch of buying a used motor home. I really, really wanted it, but my better senses took hold of me. Good thing, I’d have likely had to sell it before too long.

Mostly though, we just buy what we need. When we buy something big, it’s usually a house or car…Mostly, cars. And those aren’t allowed by the prompt. And, of course, neither are the “almost” purchases.

Needed, One Bumper Sticker

Posted in Electric Automobiles, Gas tax, Going Green by

I was in a restaurant the other day. Already, I can’t remember how long I have had my electric car, but it must be close to four months. The guy that worked in the restaurant asked me if my car was electric. Not all that unusual but he was the first one that asked me.

Now, what makes that significant? Surely, there were others that noticed it was tail-pipeless. However, he was the first one that asked. It got me to thinking, which my wife will tell you, can make me dangerous, or at least somewhat crazy.

First, how many have noticed the car is electric. To be sure, if I’m going to pay 10 or 12 thousand more for the car, I think it should be noticed more easily.

Secondly, just why didn’t Nissan hide the fact it’s electric? If it add a grill in front and an exhaust in back, it would be difficult to tell it’s battery powered. Moreover, I wonder if it was intentional.

So, maybe what I need is a bumper sticker. If so, what should it say? Maybe, “This car is battery powered,” “This Auto is Smokeless,” or “Electrified!”

Maybe you have some ideas. I will welcome all reasonable ones.

How Much for a Solar Charging Station?

Posted in Uncategorized by

A level 1 charging station must be able to produce 120 volts at 12 amps. Basic electronics makes that about 1400 watts. To completely charge my car on that station would require about 50 hours charging (daylight) hours. That’s about 4 days, depending on the time of year and the weather.

A level 2 station requires 220 volts at about 30 amps. That math is a little harder. It works out to be more than 6000 watts. The charge rate is more than 5 times faster, about 10 hours.

The question is, how much would that many solar panels cost. The neat part is that, other than the initial cost, I would be able to pass the gas and regular charge stations every day.

Having said that, the vast majority of the time, all I need is a level one station. Moreover I would only need 3 or 4 hours of charging a day.

The Unwritten Rule

Posted in Cancel Culture, Communist Takover, Crime, Elections, FOC, Immigration, law enforcement by

It would seem that there is now a rock solid rule that, in order to participate in the government of a large city, a person must be a dem. To some degree, I somewhat understand that. I mean, why would anyone want to live in a large city, unless he’s a dem. That makes it difficult for a republican to be elected, especially for mayor.

And so it is, you look at election results, you will find high concentrations of dem votes in large cities. Also, near coasts and rivers. As you get closer to center of the city, you will find a higher concentration of dems.

Oddly, you can pretty much say the same about crime.

Not so oddly, another reason to avoid living in big cities, or for that matter, visiting them unless necessary.

It does seem to be one of those endless loops. It does seem a horrible thing, which no one knows how to stop. For that matter, I suspect no one really has the desire.

As I looked at a county by county map of the result of the Mississippi governor race, it pretty much stuck to the pattern. Even Desoto County is starting to lose it’s solid red look as the population increases.

Of course, the city of Jackson was solid blue as well as almost all the counties touching the Mississippi River. On the other hand, the gulf coast had a red county, the one with the sparse population.

You likely already noticed all this. It’s not so new.

I Voted

Posted in Christian values, Elections by

Somehow, knowing the dems, I suspect it would be just as effective as bowing down and asking some wooden idle. Now, that would be dumb wouldn’t it?

I won’t tell you how I voted, but I suspect you can figure it out. I have my proof, a lapel sticker that says I voted. There isn’t much more I can do, but I sure get upset when I see all the outside money coming into the state. They don’t live here. They should have no say so in any way. The hitch is that I have no idea of any way to stop them, other than to plead, “Please don’t do that.”

I do know this, the last time we had a dem governor, things were really dim. In truth I hope we never find out if Presley is truly pro life. If he never becomes governor we will never find out, which will suit me just fine.

A Little Disappointed

Posted in Abuse of Power, Being woke, Deceit, FOC, Left Turns by

I would have thought a state with a firmly Republican government would be more likely to treat a leftist killer the same as one from the right. Color me disappointed. It appears the only reason they have withheld the recent killer’s writings is because she was a leftest, not someone from the right.

It somewhat destroys their stereotype.

Can someone please tell me why Tennessee law enforcement suddenly want to make a fast left turn?

In the News

Posted in Biden, Cancel Culture, Collusion, Controllers, Elections, FOC, January 6, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation, Liberals, News media, Social Media by

Many pro Hamas people assaulted the White House fence in an effort enter the White House itself. Of course, the assault was stopped and they even arrested one of the perpetrators.

Now wait a minute. On January 6, how many did they arrest? In fact they arrested people who never entered the building. They are blaming it all on President Trump and he did all he could to prevent it.

I have two assumptions. 1. The dems wanted the recent assault on the White House. 2. They wanted the crowd to enter Capitol on Jan 6. It served their purposes in both cases. It is why Pelosi turned down the National Guard Trump offered. It why Eps waved people into the building and never spent a day in jail for it.

You don’t like the news. It’s all there in b&w for anyone who really wants to know.

My Favorite School Subject

What was your favorite school subject

I assume this means beside physical education or lunch.

Actually I really liked science a lot, specifically physics. The concepts behind mechanical advantages, I found fascinating.

Invariably, of couse, I spent hours thinking of how I could build the successful perpetual motion machine. I quickly found out I was not alone. History is full of notable scientists who actually tried to build them. Unfortunately, in every case they failed due losses of energy, usually because of friction.

I guess the closest we will ever get to perpetual motion is when we put something in orbit. Even then, I don’t know as that qualifies. I think most satellites eventually fall from the sky.

I have also had an interest in electric motors and generators. I suppose it was somewhat connected with perpetual machines. I mean, we could use the motor to turn the motor and the generator could provide electricity for the motor. I suspect I was not the first to think of that.

The fact is that I should have worked much harder on English and especially reading. I should have worked very hard on polishing my writing. But then like most kids, I was just too smart for wasting time on that.
