Scott Brown's Remarks Following His Swearing-In (Conservatism Alert)

National Review ^ | 2/04/2010 | Scott Brown

exactly...actually, if individual states want to have health insurance, then let em......that is their choice....

states rights....if we had them in force abortion would be illegal in many states .....

look at the whole picture....

What gain is this?

It's incrementalism, except in our direction, rather than theirs.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Overturning it would send the matter back to the states with much the same result.

I think ultrasound has changed things. My guess is that half the states (northeast, north-central, and west coast) would legalize abortion 100%. The rest would have significant restrictions.

Inner anger expressed in vitriol is a losing strategy. Once the burn-out occurs, the flames burn bright and the vessel is toast. Some folks just don’t understand the Marxist long view of history. Unless and/or until the Left asks by deeds for a full out “war”, the combination of a scalpel and an axe will be needed to undo the damage they’ve done. Patience with the young man, he’s frustrated.

[RobbyS]

Ultrasound had had an impact. Of course, if one has lost the sense of humans as special beings and materialism rules the roost, no amount of information is going to change things. Sometimes we forget how awful the events of the 20th Century were. People deplore the slaughter of war but abort children as if they were tumors. After WWI, people talked about The Lost generation. We have killed off a generation and think this has no demographic effect. But the result is that we lack enough young people to take care of the old, as a result of which we devote any increasing amount of our wealth to keeping people alive for another ten years. And the sad thing is that, human nature being so perverse, under the right circumstances, the young could violently decide to “solve”: this “problem,” and practice large scale abortion at the other end of life.

Check out potlatch’s post #64... ROTFL!

[gogeo]

He's pro-choice and supports universal healthcare. That's not conservatism, stupid...

In Massachusetts, his beliefs make him a John Bircher, MORON.

Are you stupid enough to believe you could elect Richard Shelby in Massachusetts? Why, then, are you saying it's that or nothing?

You, of all people, should be calling no one stupid...and you sure as he!! shouldn't be giving political advice.

Those who consider every issue all or nothing shouldn't be surprised when they consistently end up with nothing...and shame on those who follow their counsel.

whomever it was I was posting to, it most certainly wasn't you. the content of your unsolicited rant assures me that, after this, it probably won't ever be, either.

i'd point out the screaming fallacies but I am sure it's futile.

So you can go back to admiring that pinup of Sen Brown you have in your bedroom.

[potlatch]

Thanks so much nutmeg!

[gogeo]

Google "incrementalism," "fabian socialism."

Google "Useful Idiot." I doubt you'll recognize what you see, because denial is powerful.

You're acting out. That you aren't more used to being called out on your foolishness is really a tribute to the manners of those around you.

I'll address the one coherent part of your post...no, you weren't posting to me...but this is a political chat THREAD, not a chat ROOM. There is a difference.

Whether you choose to engage me or not is irrelevant. I'm addressing those who are reading your nonsense, letting them weigh both sides, and deciding if they want to end up in your political Jonestown.

Your choices are yours and you are free to them. I think you will find many are not willing to ignore the crazy uncle in the room anymore.
