Former West Wing Actress Allison Janney Cheers Obama, Stumps for Abortion

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — Actress Allison Janney, best known for her role in the television drama “West Wing,” is stumping for the pro-abortion group Emily’s List. In a fundraising email for the political group, Janney applauds the pro-abortion record of President Barack Obama and asks for donations to support his efforts.

“During the dark days of the last administration, millions of Americans watched Martin Sheen play an intelligent, compassionate president on The West Wing,” Janney says in the email LifeNews.com received. “Isn’t it exciting to have the real thing in Barack Obama?”

Despite his decisions to force taxpayers to pay for promoting and performing abortions in other nations and embryonic stem cell research, Janney claims, “President Obama has set us on a course to move our country in a more hopeful, positive direction.”

*** end quote ***

It’s a real shame. “Liberal” Hollywood types confuse play acting for the real thing.

I’m saddened. She’s a good actress. And, she certainly has the right to speak freely. I just wish she had the same degree of understanding of a very complex issue.

(1) I object to paying for that which I find morally reprehensible. I’m force to fund Obama’s abortion plans.

(2) It’s genocide! Death by government. We’re strangling the life out of the future. I’ve made the argument before what if we have aborted the cure for cancer, the next Steven Hawking, or the future Obama?

(3) Hollywood success doesn’t translate into policy expertise or even common sense. In this case, she equates “West Wing” with the new tyranny in the White House.

(4) Abortion is a policy, social, and personal DISASTER on so many levels. Be best if the gooferment just got out of the debate. And, let the people involved sort it out. Legislating it as a right is just morally wrong!

Argh!

Old age begins at 27: Scientists reveal new research into ageing
By Mail On Sunday Reporter
Last updated at 1:14 AM on 15th March 2009

*** begin quote ***

Old age is often blamed for causing us to misplace car keys, forget a word or lose our train of thought.

But new research shows that many well-known effects of ageing may start decades before our twilight years.

According to scientists, our mental abilities begin to decline from the age of 27 after reaching a peak at 22.

*** end quote ***

ROFL!

So the “Social Security” age should be 30?

Reminds me of the movie “Logan’s Run”.

While it may be true, scientifically. Is it like global warming”?

RANT: Obama’s Special Olympics gaffe

Obama’s Special Olympics gaffe

*** begin quote ***

The truth is that Barack Obama is not cool or hip. Often he doesn’t even seem very bright. He is unable to stand on his own two feet when asked a direct question. Even with his trusted Teleprompter he cannot avoid embarrassment, as the Prime Minister of Ireland saw first-hand earlier this week. He gave the back of his hand to Great Britain with his stupid, ill-chosen gifts to their prime minister — not to mention the abrupt ejection of the bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office. He accompanies self-deprecation with insulting retarded children or former First Ladies.

*** end quote ***

I waited to write this post until I had time to reflect on the incident. What I saw. How I felt. And, was it a “big deal”.

When I heard O was heading to Leno, my first thought was that he was trying to distract from what he was doing — making Socialism palatable to the proletariat.

Did it work?

Or, did it give us a further insight into the legislator who votes “present”.

Leno cracked him with the comment about the financial crisis being Timmy’s problem.

And again, with taxing the AIG bonus babies 90%, that the government could do it to any one.

Insightful.

Funny, but Leno showed the emperor’s new clothes.

And, of course, the pièce de résistance, “Special Olympics”.

What an A double Q hole!

Ever seen these “forever children” struggle to dribble a basketball as I’ve seen at many Rutgers women’s half times, or some to even help themselves?

A President. An athlete. A “man”. Demeaning these children. He may have been a high school bball player, but he learned little.

I firmly believe that the Creator, the Universe, or God, gives us these as examples of how blessed we are. That no matter how self-centered one is, seeing one of these struggling heroes, is a lesson in humility.

No, that throw away remark was an insight into the character of the man.

And, he was lacking.

MONEY: Ditch dollar movement?

U.N. panel says world should ditch dollar
Wed Mar 18, 2009 11:16am EDT
By Jeremy Gaunt, European Investment Correspondent

*** begin quote ***

LUXEMBOURG (Reuters) – A U.N. panel will next week recommend that the world ditch the dollar as its reserve currency in favor of a shared basket of currencies, a member of the panel said on Wednesday, adding to pressure on the dollar.

*** end quote ***

The end of the US Dollar as the World’s reserve currency? That would be unbelievable. “Everyone” said that it could never happen! SO, what happens when it does? Are we on the road to being like Zimbabwe?

Why are we still funding the UN. We should ditch them!

Gold and silver — the Dead Old White Guys were right — The Palladium rounds (i.e., medallions — the Gooferment gets mad if you call them coins. But thy look like coins to me.) at about 300$/oz seem like a bargain. Rarer than Platinum at 1200$/oz.

But, plan for a Carter-like inflation; did you see Carter visited the Obama White House yesterday. Why? To get advice on how to print “Whip Inflation Now” buttons?

Will Obama on Leno distract everyone with how incredibly screwed we are? And what a good guy he is personally.

Humbly, I think he’s drowning us in the deep end of the pool while he tries to distract us. Ain’t gonna work. At least, I’m not distracted as to what this means to us low fixed income folks. I hope it’s not distracting the People or you.

RANT: 90% taxes on employee bonuses

Thursday, March 19, 2009

March 19, 2009

The House voted 328-93 to approve a bill imposing 90% taxes on employee bonuses from firms bailed out by taxpayers.

The bill would tax bonuses paid by firms that received more than $5 billion from the TARP. The Senate is working on its own plan to try to recoup bonuses.

The House bill is a response to the furor over millions in retention bonuses paid by AIG.

# – # – #

Can anyone say “Bill of Attainder”?

If these bozos would actually read what they vote on, then they wouldn’t have to have this pretend outrage!

Don’t forget all the Hollywood, Education, and Sports types?

A Look at the Jury System and Our Participation in It by Graham Dugas

*** begin quote ***

Jury trials are one of the non-violent ways our republic still affords us to resist evil. Use it to the full. We may get a proud feeling as we are giving the judge a righteous civics lesson but that is not the goal. The goal is to get to a place (the jury) where you are the “decider.”

*** end quote ***

Yup, sneak on a jury and hang it. Personally, unless the defendend aggressed against someone, you should hang on general prinicples.

Throw “sugar” in the gooferment’s “gas tank”.

What would Gandhi, MLK, or Jefferson do?

MONEY: Live debt free

People demanded change and it’s coming

Posted: February 10, 2009 8:41 pm Eastern

*** begin quote ***

The time of politicians listening to the will of the people has long passed. They are no longer our servants, they are our masters. Masters who demand we continue down the same road that has failed us for years.

What are we going to do about it?

As for me, I have decided to take hold of my future by preparing for very uncertain times. I live debt free. I live within my means. I don’t have the biggest house in town. But I sleep well and know that when they screw things up even worse than they already have, I can pay my bills because I don’t invest in their nonsense. I own land, gold, cash and a very small amount of stock.

I suggest you do the same.

I fully intend to expose and vote against everyone who voted for this foolish bill. Any member of Congress who voted for this bill should never be re-elected. They have blatantly disregarded the cries of the constituents who gave them their jobs. They may have ignored us once without a consequence but not twice.

Shame on whom this time?

GUNS: O pulls pilot’s guns “silently”!

Obama secretly ends program that lets pilots carry guns
– The Washington Times

*** begin quote ***

After the September 11 attacks, commercial airline pilots were allowed to carry guns if they completed a federal safety program. No longer would unarmed pilots be defenseless as remorseless hijackers seized control of aircraft and rammed them into buildings. Now President Obama is quietly ending the federal firearms program, risking public safety on airlines in the name of an anti gun ideology.

*** end quote ***

So much for “openness” and “trasparency”!
