Video: WSJ editorial board gleefully slanders conservatives
posted at 4:17 pm on June 1, 2007 by Bryan
This vid has been making the rounds, but we haven’t posted it here and it is a must-watch. If you oppose the shamnesty bill, prepare to be insulted, called a racist, and generally dismissed as a crank.
JunkYardBlog sums it up well:
Rather than acknowledging (let alone refuting) our claims about national security, social services, human rights and working conditions for near-indentured servants, they’re content to adjudge us all know-nothings. It’s much easier to fling around these baseless smears of racism at National Review and “the Right”.* It’s called race-baiting, and it’s a term the WSJ understands quite well. As outspoken conservatives, these men know full well how infuriating groundless accusations of racism are, and yet they’re surprised that Mark Levin, or more broadly, the party base, don’t just sit there and take it with a smile.
We all know that feeling quite well these days.

Paying for someone elses sex life is not my reponsibility. If you want an abortion, pay for it yourself. If you support abortion, fund it. Using tax money for abortions makes me complicit in the act.

The Republicans should have been picking off easy fruit on the abortion question, like late-term abortion (with exceptions for the life of the mother), instead of trying to build Rome in one day. They should also use scientific arguments against it and not biblical ones.
Abortion for the GOP is like the gun issue for Democrats. Nothing ever good seems to happen to our side whenever we wonder down into those weeds…
William Eaton on January 22, 2013 at 11:52 AM
Well, this is what happens when Republicans hide under the desk for two successive presidential campaigns and offer no public defense of the pro-life position.
Outlander on January 22, 2013 at 11:52 AM
Give me a break. They’ve done neither.
ddrintn on January 22, 2013 at 11:55 AM
Right. We only had one chance to overturn Roe–the Casey case in 1992. We failed.
The best we can do at this point is to try to impose common-sense limitations on the abortion right, and then try to win over hearts and minds on the issue until we build a popular consensus large enough to get a constitutional amendment.
Outlander on January 22, 2013 at 11:57 AM
I don’t know. Not even a hundred years ago forced sterilization of the “mentally unfit” was as popular as abortion is today, but look what happened to Buck v. Bell.
Gelsomina on January 22, 2013 at 11:58 AM
Well, now that ObamaCare is here forever, at least until we finish melting down as a nation, you and I and every other tax payer are now actively funding abortions of all kinds, all day, every day.
Yep, need all the abortions we can possibly squeeze in a day. But at least guns are going to be banned. Whew, the kids sure “dodged a bullet” there.
Meople on January 22, 2013 at 11:59 AM
That is the other easy fruit the GOP should be going after.
The GOP should just say they are against late Term Abortion (unless the mother’s life is at stake) and the people (say “people” not “taxpayer”, it sounds better) of this country should not pay for someone elses abortions….and leave it at that.
Also add that this money should got to other things more useful to most Americans, like education, the military, to help pay off the debt, who cares as long as it benefits most Americans, which abortion does not.
William Eaton on January 22, 2013 at 12:00 PM
pretty much sums up everything for the past 70 years…the more government grows the more freedom will be lost. The cost of that government will consume most of the wealth of the country. The middle class will cease to exist. I pity my grandchildren;s generation.

With this high a value placed on life, is it any wonder?
Bmore on January 22, 2013 at 12:02 PM
The key is to define the debate in terms that make Democrats look bad. To do that, you have to get out in front of the issue.
In 2012, we didn’t do that. Instead, Mitt Romney hid under the desk on abortion, refusing to discuss it in the hopes of focusing on the economy and avoiding offending women. Obama then seized the issue and boxed the Republicans in so badly that by October, half of America’s women thought he was going to take their birth control pills away (what?!) and a solid quarter of them thought Republicans wanted to legalize rape. Talk about an epic fail!

ddrintn on January 22, 2013 at 12:05 PM
Because these kinds of issues are won or lost on the local level. You have to work from the ground up to win hearts and minds. Roe completely takes that power away from the states. I also am confident that I live in a red, red state and eventually it would be banned here.
I know that if abortion was dealt with honestly; most uneducated people would be appalled at the procedure. Instead women are told that it is akin to getting a mole removed. Giving the issue to the state means that the state can educate the public.
And even if I can’t save babies in New York, the ones that I save locally would be a start.
melle1228 on January 22, 2013 at 12:08 PM
That’s what Roe v. Wade is all about.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 2009 to the New York Times:
“Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion.”
Roe v. Wade has nothing to do with “women’s rights”. It was created to get rid of “populations that we don’t want to have too many of.”
Gelsomina on January 22, 2013 at 12:08 PM
Uh, Abortion is legal in most cases. Has been for decades.
I swear, some people just live in constant denial.
It’s never going back. Roe is never getting overturned. The bottom line is that if abortion is against your values, don’t have an abortion. Simple enough.
And, that’s all you can do about it. Anything else is a fantasy, but that’s where many of you live.
It won’t stop the Dems from trolling with it, of course. Because you are a bunch of marks that complicate any opposition to left wing crazy with your obsession over abortion. Divide and conquer works so well because of you.

Two things did it for me. Hearing my first child’s heartbeat three weeks after conception.. and growing up and watching my generation who had unlimited access to abortion have to live with their decision. What was supposed to be good for women victimized women with lies and deceit.
melle1228 on January 22, 2013 at 12:15 PM
No, they fight againsr every restriction, no matter how mild, and then find ways not to enforce it. Roe vs. Wade, was predicated on the fraud of a false rape, and it’s been deception ever since,
narciso on January 22, 2013 at 12:17 PM
Exactly, I have no trouble with Republicans talking about abortion, but just understand political reality and win the battles you can win.
Seriously the GOP does need to learn a lesson from the progressives. Look how they have taken issues that at one time were unpopular and have made them popular. They used a slow grinding method, picking off easy fruit one at a time, organizing and planning, and waiting for the harder to reach fruit to get closer and closer. That way when the harder fruit was ready to pick they always seem to be ready.
This is the same thing in relation to demographics, Latinos and Asian-Americans. There is no reason why those groups will remain democratic bastions forever, just like the immigrants who came in during the late 19th and early 20th century changed over time as well from a political stand point. Many of those folks voted for FDR (multiple times in fact) and yet those same people ended up also voting for Reagan once they got older. We have to try and start working to win those people now and it will take time, but we don’t have to win them all, just around 40% would be enough to win a national election. Remember Reagan started working to become president some thirty years before he became president. He had a long term plan.
William Eaton on January 22, 2013 at 12:17 PM
So give us some examples of “left wing crazy” that you would like to see changed, Moesart. In every case I can tell you “there’s no going back”.

For you the entire abortion problem seems to be about sex and power.
Do you think that men are not able to love their children?
Gelsomina on January 22, 2013 at 12:21 PM
I know. I suppose I should have said God have mercy on me, a sinner. That’s why I keep posting that passage of scripture, in hopes that even one person will read it and wake up to the truth. It is so obvious, but there are none so blind as those who refuse to see.
I know we have to keep fighting for the truth and can’t cave in to despair, but when I see people arguing about how do we win the next election, I shake my head. I’m amazed that so few seem to understand the magnitude of what is going on in this world. It seems so obvious.
I don’t know if we are in the end times, though the signs are striking: nature, war, spiritual darkness/death. Of course, people have always thought it was time when things were rough, ie the Black Death, French Revolution, … but when I look at the headlines on Drudge, or Spiritdaily…this is world wide. Something big is coming. The hand of Divine Providence our Founding Fathers relied on is being removed, if it is not completely withdrawn already.
Since Obama’s first election, I have thought it was our last chance to turn around. Roe v Wade is 40 years old today. Is it just a coincidence that it comes the day after the inauguration of the most pro-abortion/anti-Catholic/Christian president in history? 40 has great significance as a period of testing and bringing to repentance. 40 days and 40 nights of the flood…40 years wandering in the desert…Jesus fasted and tempted for 40 days…40 days to repent in Nineveh…and there is 40 months for a child to be born… 40…
Something big is coming.
But he answered and said to them: When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red. [3] And in the morning: Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and lowering. You know then how to discern the face of the sky: and can you not know the signs of the times?

No. Did Abraham Lincoln say he was going to ban slavery? No just limit it. Hardcore Abolitionist threw a fit over the Lincoln candidacy, and said he was not down with the cause. If he had come out for banning slavery during the election he would not have been elected president. He went far enough on slavery to cause the south to throw a fit (and boy did they!) but not enough to prevent his election.
The same with our founding fathers and the revolution. It took from the end of the French-Indian War until 1776 to convince enough colonist that they needed to break away from Britain. So the revolutionaries took there time, slowly bringing the people to their cause.
It is ok for christian conservatives to form groups and organizations that fight to ban all abortion, to work on the planning and long term goals, but politicians can’t do that. A politician that can’t get elected is no good to your cause or anyone else. So you go with the politicians who can at least advance your cause a little more.
Prophets and Politicians are different things most of the time. Prophets can afford to be stoned to death by the people, to be a martyr. They are playing for the long term, politicians can not be that and are for the short term. Sometimes a prophet can change himself into a politician, like Reagan did. But that takes years of planning and preparing.
By going for late term abortions only it will cause the progressives to throw a fit, and using scientific arguments you can make them look silly and stupid. Like they are over reacting. Force them into a situation Lincoln put the South into…
William Eaton on January 22, 2013 at 12:44 PM
I don’t think that’s what he was advocating. The pro-life movement’s goal should be to reduce abortion rates as much as possible, hoping one day to reduce them to zero. But to do that requires a shift in cultural thinking about abortion–a fight that will require us to change hearts and minds throughout society.
That fight occurs on the cultural front, not through legislation. For now, we have to accept that Roe is the law of the land and the only realistic way to get rid of Roe is to amend the Constitution. To do that requires huge public support, hence my point about winning hearts and minds.
Outlander on January 22, 2013 at 12:49 PM
Meanwhile they legitimate abortion, most recently on ‘Parenthood’, and they attack anyone who by example, not legislation, or mere words, lives out her beliefs.

It is no where now because GOP stopped using common sense and lost its brand by electing GWB and defending him for eight years. That created a vacuum which was filled by progressives who managed to re-win that position by getting Obama elected.
The GOP needs to pick a few big issues that will decide America’s future and pound those. One of those is reforming government. The GOP will be for well run, streamlined, business like, government, while the Democrats are are big bloated government that is inept and best yet lets government employees steal tax payers money meant for the poor, the old, the needy.
Obviously government needs to cut and entitlements fixed, but you have to phrase right. Reform is a much better sounding word than cut. That is how the GOP took charge in the 1990s. The Democrats had a series of officials getting caught with their hands on the money and they are still very susceptible to that form of attack. Romney only did it a little, the next GOP pick needs to do that a lot.
We are going to reform entitlements by making sure more tax payer money gets to those who need it and not into the pockets of middle men (government employees). All of it will be means tested as well which will be popular with the poor and lower middle class. The wealthy and upper middle class will go along with this because the GOP will also promise lower taxes to them which should keep them happy at this development.

Guess the gubmint would have to dictate even the DESCRIPTION, tho, eh ??
“I’ll be sucking out a mere blob of tissue, so fear not” ???
Certainly couldn’t explain the dismemberment in the womb, or the plunging of an instrument to remove brain tissue before complete birth. Nooooooo !

In the example provided (mine,) it was the couple who made the choice to have a baby. It was the couple who conceived, and planned, and made the requisite modifications to their lifestyle in expectation of this child. The point was that all decisions had been made jointly, yet if the female changes her mind and decides to have an abortion, then it becomes her decision alone, regardless of the man’s desires or original intent. This same behavior wouldn’t be tolerated in any other joint enterprise, yet in this most important of ones, the man is made a complete legal non-entity.
So, yes, this is about personal responsibility. To paraphrase you, the couple made a choice that resulted in some consequences. Shouldn’t both parties then be allowed a hand in deciding on an outcome?

I agree with Obama on two issues, abortion and marriage equality. Otherwise, I think if Obama were setting out deliberately to destroy America, he would do what he doing. Open borders plus socialism leads inevitably to the destruction of the economy.
You need to accept the fact that some people who may agree with you on some issues will disagree with you on other issues. I noticed one leftard posting today saying the right is too binary in its thinking. It is an effective put-down. Please don’t make yourself the Left’s poster boy for the Right.

How is voting for Obamao based solely on two issues not binary?
But then the fact of the matter is that Obamao and his Chicago thug machine DID successfully dupe enough people into thinking Romney would abolish abortion and birth control. I guess you’re a shining example of their success. Congratulations. Enjoy your new USSA.

The GOP needs to drop this issue and move on.
It’s a moral decision people need to make for themselves like Adultery or Homosexuality, and the law is not going to change anyway.
Those who are pro-life should focus their efforts to advocate for people to make the decision themselves not to have an abortion, but as a political movement to get it criminalized outright is pure fantasy.
I’m done throwing away elections on this issue and handing the country over to socialist Democrats.

In China the government can force women to have an abortion.
In America there many who want the government to force women to give birth.
Mandatory abortions and compulsory childbirth are two sides of the same coin. The government that can force a woman to give birth by denial of access to abortion may one day decide it will deny women the right to give birth for any or no reason.
That’s why I’m pro-choice. I believe the woman, in consultation with her doctor can make a better decision for pregnancy than the government can make for her.
Pro-choice is the conservative position.

In the US every day there are more than 140 Newtowns but noone cares because these children are still in the womb where they should be safer than anyplace in the world. How can we get so upset about 6 years olds but give not a whit for the 3700 children killed every day at abortion clinics. It boggles the mind. I daresay that there’s noone beyond the age of reason who doesn’t know that it’s not a piece of tissue, it’s a living breathing baby in it’s mother’s womb.

I think you are avoiding the real issue by design. The issue is whether a woman is allowed to have killed a genetically distinct human entity within her, or is it murder? I find the notion of killing an animal living its own life for meat more similar to murder than abortion is. I support allowing the practice of eating meat. You cannot escape the question of what is being killed.

I think ObamaCare’s days are numbered, actually. It’s going to collapse of its own weight. Watch.

I forgot. You’re nothing but a bait meister.
You couldn’t hold a serious discussion with a Cheshire Cat.
I’ll be ignoring you by the time you get to the punctuation mark at the end of this sentence.

And you’re a simple-minded moron, just the sort that Chicago Jesus relies on. Come on, tell me on what principle you’d object to forced abortions. If the Democratic party says it’s good, you’d be right there cheering it with the rest of your fellow moonbat cretins.

If ObamaCare collapses, the only thing it will be replaced with is full blown single-payer healthcare. Maybe that’s by design.
But it will only serve to put yet another nail in the coffin of America as it was founded.

It’s the design, but it’s even more impossible.

That’s true, but won’t stop them from doing it.

Yes, she can. There is no right to be born.
No, abortion is not legally recognized as murder. Saying abortion is murder doesn’t make it so.
Nor am I attempting to do so. Some pregnancies carry to term and a baby is born. Some do not and a fetus dies. There are no guarantees, and trying to create a guarantee of birth by forcing women to give birth against their will is wrong, in my opinion.

And you very clearly avoided the issue I raised in my comment about government’s role in women’s reproductive rights.
If the Chinese government is wrong to force women to have abortions (and I believe it is wrong) then why would the U.S. government be right to force women to give birth?
chumpThreads on January 22, 2013 at 3:07 PM
The usual, ridiculous straw man argument.
If you truly believe it’s all 1st degree, premeditated murder, are you willing to call for the death penalty for all women who have had an abortion?
It’s all the same, murder is murder, right?

Abortion is legal. Stopping a beating heart outside the womb is not.

All of it… In our Constitution we do not have the right for ABORTION and murders of babies, we have the right to LIFE and this includes the unborn who has the right to LIFE…

They are both homicide, not murder. One is considered lawful, the other is not. What is different between them other than the age and stage of development.

Question # 20, only has 39% for Roe vs. Wade, with a 41% don’t know, another shows 67% dissaproval for abortion on demand, so it all depends how you spin it,

Hmmm… life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

You’re never, ever going to convince dedicated Christian believers that your “private sex life (abortions)” dosen’t affect the rest of the us.
Being “tolerant” of murder, by allowing a ‘black robe wearing bench-sitter’ to decree that “a gestating baby is not a ‘real person’ if the woman experiencing the gestation so chooses” WILL NOT EVER BE ACCEPTED.
Of course, it helps to believe in God. But that is one issue that God is “pro choice” on.
There’s no room for negotiation on any of the above.

“Reproductive rights” is what the Chinese citizens want, and are denied.
What your side is asking (demanding, actually) is to be able to engage in any kind of sexual pleasure you want, without consequences.
That’s not a “reproductive right”.
