Can we bring back shame?
wnd.com ^ | 7/29/2016 | Patrice Lewis

Posted on 07/30/2016 7:33:14 AM PDT by rktman

Out of the many dramas in the last two weeks of national political conventions, one particular moment caught my eye: when NARAL Pro-Choice America president Ilyse Hogue took the stage and told the story of the time she aborted her first child because it was too inconvenient to become a mother.

Please understand, she didn’t tell this in hushed tones of grief and sorrow. She was proud of her abortion.

“I am a fourth-generation Texan,” she started, and went on to explain how “tough” Texas women are. “To succeed in life, all we need are the tools, the trust and the chance to chart our own path. I was fortunate enough to have these things when I found out I was pregnant years ago. I wanted a family, but it was the wrong time. I made the decision that was best for me – to have an abortion and get compassionate care at a clinic in my own community.”

At this point, applause and cheers could be heard in the crowd.

“Now years later, my husband and I are parents to two incredible children.”

(Side note: Her two living children are “incredible.” What does that make her dead child? Chopped liver?)

Shame and libs/progressives? No worky. Besides, until they can walk, apparently, they're not really people. What's next? Post-term abortions? Looks like the next round of legislation after the Nov. (s)elections will have to work on getting the abortion amendment out of the bill of rights(s/). You know, it's right after the one that protects the "right" to healthcare. Oh and WIC cards and the Aid For Dependent Children clause.

P.S. Did the dem platform address the NAMBLA concerns?

Shame is alive and healthy. If you believe in a Christian God, shame on you. If you believe in American Exceptionalism, shame on you. If you believe in Good and Evil, shame on you. If you believe in Men and Women, shame on you. If you believe sexually confused men should have access to girls bathrooms and showers, shame on you. If you believe ISIS is a greater threat than your refrigerator, SHAME ON YOU!

As I write the list in #3 it occurs to me how judgmental the left is. I plan to use that on everyone of them. They are constantly trying to shame traditional values Americans, because Libs are incredibly judgmental, biased, discriminatory and hateful towards those who do not share their ever changing self serving ideology.

Shame is the least of weapons that libs would like to use against people with traditional values. If they had their way, they would punish in the most sever ways imaginable. They would not stop at financial or even physical punishment for non adherence to their values. Shaming is just the tip of the iceberg.

Before leftists could institute their polices to advance ‘progressive’ issues like the welfare state, abortion, homosexualism, wealth redistribution and anti-Chrisianity they had to demonize stigma and make it as unacceptable than the “N” word.

Are you kidding? There is no mention of sin, even from preachers, these days. The only “sin” our children hear about is the “sin” of climate change caused by the selfish people in the USA and the “sin” of not being tolerant. Anything else goes.

She was proud of her abortion.

In a country that is based on the natural right to life, and where life is the standard of value, abortion is an evil. To be proud of committing evil is one of the signs of evil.

Shame disappeared when enough lower humans accepted animal behavior as the norm; they won’t be held to any standard higher than wild dogs...

The way to respond to liberal attacks is to belittle them. Put them below you in your answer or non answers. Don’t defend... never defend... it gives them room to continue. Insult them with an answer that puts them down and don’t continue in the back and forth.

this is especially true in the area of sexual behavior.

I think we all know that some guys love to brag about their prowess in this area. I’ve known some guys who were dating girls, but it was clear they were just using them.

Heck I knew one guy, he had a great paying job, management level, good career. Well he got a girl pregnant, and it’s like he had no feelings about it at all. He paid his child support, said it’s just the cost of being a man, and that the guy always pays somehow.

What got me about it, was that he didn’t give a blank that there was a child of his out there, that regardless of his relationship to the mother, that there was a child which needed a father. He just didn’t care.

The relationship with the mother fell apart, so he has no connection to the mother of his child or his child. The only connection is his paying child support.

He then moved on to other girls. Haven’t heard from him or about him in years, but, wouldn’t be surprised if he created more broken hearts and broken lives with others. How self centered can one be, to care only about your own gratification, and not consequences of your behavior to others.
