MAYBE IT'S JUST ME

Maybe it’s just me

Maybe, or maybe when other people read articles like this one http://www.dnronline.com/news_details.php?AID=13783&CHID=2 they see quotes such as the following to be very misogynistic. You be the judge

“Also, The Family Foundation of Virginia Vice President Chris Freund said his organization would push to amend "no fault" divorce.
Under consideration, Freund said, would be a proposal that would allow one spouse to stop divorce proceedings where children are involved.
"Everyone in some way is affected by divorce," Freund said.”

-My point, wife wants divorce and husband says no. Who the hell does Freund think he is to tell a family what they can and can’t do? Isn’t this supposed to be the limited government party? I’m confused. But it gets better.

“According to the Web site for the Virginia League for Planned Parenthood, the organization emphasizes services for teens and low-income women about unplanned pregnancies and reproductive health issues.
The state pays Planned Parenthood about $500,000 a year for services in public schools, Obenshain said.
"I for one find that highly offensive," he said.

I find Obenshain’s comment’s offensive. Here’s why. Helping poor people deal with unplanned pregnancies is somehow offensive (Planned Parenthood is not a abortion assembly line, they hold true to their name). OFFENSIVE! Seriously. If you disagree with abortion then fight it in legislation at the federal level where it is regulated most. Don’t go about it in the worst way possible, by trying to cut funding for poor people to receive services that they so desperately need. Oh yeah and don’t forget the teenagers who were never taught about proper birth control because of the former abstinence only education (which was recently declared negatively ineffective by a congressionally ordered nationwide study, which varies drastically to the quoted “But Obenshain counters that a state report last year suggested that these programs are working.” Obenshain is wrong. Proven facts say that this program doesn’t work, the study done by “The Family Foundation of Virginia” is very very very biased towards their agenda. Duh, can you imagine it any other way?

The Christmas Parade

Just a clip of mine from the Christmas parade. Downtown was packed. It was a huge success. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooEQw1Diejg

Citing sources, credible ones at that.

Ok. The argument goes, “The fact of the matter is that Republicans are better at budgeting for the fed than Democrats because of blah blah blah” source: Cato Institute.
I don’t care about Rep or Dems, I care about facts. Quoting the Cato Institute on politics is akin to quoting Green Peace on the environment (yes they are good people but also just as fanatical-slanted as Cato). Don’t quote me Rush Limbaugh or the Islamic Republic of Iran, I don’t care what they think. Quote something I can at least want to believe. Sound fair?
