Pro-abortion groups freak out over license plates

A child could understand. Why not the democrat party?

My easiest response today will be this one;

-child has higher level of intelligence than Democrat. I lifted the following from “Citizen” magazine, April 2009, but the article is available at

and it’s worth reading. It’s only a two page review.

A great insight into liberal thinking is provided by a new book by Reb Bradley, a retired pastor. “Born Liberal, Raised Right: How to Rescue America from Moral Decline—One Family at a Time (WND Books, 2008, 172 pages).

“I propose that liberalism is, in fact, the natural condition of the human heart. For us to grow into conservatives, we must be trained against our nature.”

“From birth, we are all driven by passion,” he writes. “We want what we want, when we want it, and we refuse to do things we do not want.” That’s exactly why good parents work so hard to instill discipline. These days, though, many parents cater to their children’s desires, cave in to their pouting or tantrums, clean up their messes, and spare them the consequences of their actions. In short, they spoil them rotten. Thus, the child grows up with “an over-exalted sense of his own importance,” Bradley says—“a grand sense of entitlement, little gratefulness, and minimal ability to delay gratification.” Worse, his friends and classmates get the same treatment—so they all grow up sharing “a consensus that pursuit of personal pleasure without consequences is their supreme right.” Naturally, these attitudes have distorted our politics along with every other aspect of our society. Bradley says he first noticed the connection in 1998, when he heard a talk-show host describing common liberal traits—the same ones he had seen in indulged children and indulgent parents. The more I thought about it, the more it became clear that liberals may be shaped by liberal influences in schools, the media, and entertainment, but they are not created by them. . Liberals are merely inadequately trained children who grew up and now lead using principles they gleaned from their upbringing. As Bradley sees it, the Left consists of both “children” and “parents.” “Liberals in the child role are people in the general populace who want to be taken care of or demand the freedom to pursue their passions,” he suggests. “They depend on liberals in the parent role to look after them and protect their chosen lifestyles.” Want examples? Bradley has plenty. We have space for just a few.
Consider abortion. “Liberals don’t want to know the truth” about abortion, Bradley writes. “They can’t afford to—there is too much at stake.” Their god is “choice,” and while at times they try to bolster their position with selective facts or statistics, the real reason for their position is much more basic. “People are committed to abortion mostly because it is good for their lifestyle—they do not want to live with the consequences of their sexual actions and want the same for others.” Consider sexual conduct. “Since they typically do not like to say ‘no’ to themselves … they assume that everyone is just like them,” Bradley notes. “They remember as teens not having the power of self- restraint, so they resist efforts to teach abstinence in schools. They argue that that is expecting too much.”

If I erred in quoting this, I apologize.
