They doth protest too much

Daniel has made the decision to moderate the commenters over at his blog and has closed off his most recent pro-life thread "An End to Abortion." I can understand his decision so I will address those commenters like collins directly right here. I was discussing this with someone yesterday and she said people have abortions and they do this and they do that and no wonder everyone's so unhappy these days. I don't know anything about these people's personal lives nor care to but I think what drives alot of heat on the pro-choice side these days, the almost exorcistic rantings is guilt, they doth protest too much, it's personal Beth. As the woman I was talking to said "imagine you did something like this, how would you feel?" I also sense that some of the bloggers at Daniel's and elsewhere may be working for the abortion lobby, the lines are straight out of the Planned Parenthood playbook. With the notable exception of Erik who is genuinely pro-choice in my book Bob, Myself, TR and the rest of the gang reek of pro-abortionism which is their right of course but they're not really honest about it. Mention religion and they go into some kind of epileptic seizure thing, it's amazing those well into adulthood can still talk this way and it's indeed very tempting to make a personal judgement against them and the rest of the pro-abortion movement but I'll refrain, as they say it ain't Christian. None of my points were addressed AT ALL and if you said you'd pray for them they'd get even more unhinged. Also, regarding this issue and others like it civility is overrated, needed of course and you should try but a civil presentation of your views will not convince them, they're really not looking for a better tone although they may say so, they really hate you. If anything I think pro-lifers have been way too civil for way too long and should kind of man up about it and jab back if need be. It's been too often said imo that debates about abortion give off more heat than light, I say so be it it's not the light they're after anyway. And btw when you're a guest at somebody's house and have to use the facilities flush after you're done and wipe the rim, put the seat back down and leave it as you came in, you're a guest after all. Tell the owner you had a nice meal and a good time and go home. So that's that.

  1. Well said my friend!

    I do think praying for them is a good idea though.

  2. I find it odd that Collins mentions at Daniel's blog that he read your posting here, like why didn't he make the comment right here at your blog?

  3. WTF are you people talking about?
    I really don't understand you people and your vendettas. What the fuck is up with people becoming internet enemies?

  4. Anon needs to read my latest post on this, the enemies thing is not really true and you need to understand my motivation. In the meantime I have to go now since I have a doctor's appointment and hope to be back later.

  5. No but the blood pressure's a little high, work most likely and imo blogging with you guys probably doesn't help. Funny story, during one of my early visits I was getting ready to go and killing some time my friend brought up politics and I was like you know? So that's your actual blogging name, the title you go by? But since you brought up the subject of shrinks you sound kind of anal like your wife wants to have sex right about now but you have to go and do something...she got the nightie on but you're still Stranded.

  6. Internet enemies? That just doesn't seem a logical concept to me. I mean I have made Internet friends, because I have gotten to know people outside of the public arena of Blogging and Forums, but enemies? How can you make enemies with someone you really don't know? I may not agree with a person online, and may not prefer how they conduct themselves, but that hardly makes for an enemy. More like a nuisance, and I can simply ignore those.

  7. Well he/she has to be dramatic Beth. It's like someone told me once as soon as you express some real emotion people say "oh he's irrational." I actually find in forums and such that liberals are far nastier and less civil than our kind.

  8. I don't know about that, Z, look at the things people at Daniel's say about us, and they are supposedly on our side?

  9. My blog is a totally honest blog and it's how I feel, I don't trim or temper it to be more politically correct or tolerant or more with the in crowd. I really don't read all the remarks people make about me, I feel better that way like the time someone complained to the mods at Hannity that I'm somehow anti-Catholic, to this day I've never read the stuff, not even mildly curious, I kid you not. The fishing pole's in the closet for times like this.
