When not cleaning my gun or sewing up the rips in my KKK uniform, I sit and think about my current beliefs about life, death, religion, God, etc. Of course, as many of you know, one of the most important issues with me is the abortion issue, which really is a cumulative mixing of a bunch of terrible shit going on in the world.

I am actually quite surprised at how few of my political/social views have changed since I've given up trying to practice Christianity. The two biggest that I can think of are gay marriage (and trust me, I'm not pro-gay marriage in the traditional liberal way: by having courts give it to us) and the use of contraception.

When I say "contraception", however, it's only non-hormonal contraception that I approve of due to the precise reasons I was against hormonal birth control pre-secular days. I have to ask myself, "When does life begin?"

It's hard to keep track of what the pro-choicers believe these days in regards to personhood. One minute they seem to insist that a conceived child is not a person and therefore can be removed without any moral question whatsoever, then the other they're saying that yes, it's a life, but it doesn't matter, because that life isn't worth as much as, say, a homeless person. I find this perennially intriguing--but that's another issue.

If we're looking at things in terms of personhood, why is it that we, as a society, don't believe that pre-implantation lives are actually lives? What is the significant difference between traveling up the fallopian tube and actually being attached to the uterine wall? There isn't really that much of a difference, when looking at the development of that human life. But in order to make ourselves feel better about pumping fourteen year-olds up with hormones, we say, "Actually, life begins at implantation! Anything goes up to that point!" Unless of course you're Obama, in which case it's OK to slaughter an infant in the third trimester with a pretty damned good "health" reason!

I guess all of this to say that I still believe that life begins at conception. This hasn't changed, and I doubt that it will.

Oh Supreme Court, how you tear my heart so...

On the one hand, the fact that you overturned the Washington DC gun ban is wonderful and, indeed, Constitutional. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

But then, on the other hand, you want to outlaw the death penalty for the most evil people in our society, child rapists? How is injection cruel and unusual?

Oh that's right, because child rape isn't murder, and murder is apparently only thing that we can kill the guilty for, and even then only sometimes. Great.

I mean, just think about it: child rape. Why can't we, as Americans, have things that are so hated that everyone will know their punishment if they do it and are found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt? Hell, now you can go around killing people and, depending on the state you live in, just chill for the rest of your life. This is insane.

If you rape a child, you don't need to be in our society anymore. It's as simple as that. Ironically, it's often the people who shout "rape and incest" from the mountain side regarding the dismemberment of fetuses who are against the death penalty from those who actually commit the crimes. Apparently liberals care more about the criminals than both the fetus and the rape victim.

Even better, Obama says he disagrees with the Court's decision on the death penalty for child rapists, thus making him look moderate before an election. Not that I believe him. I'm still waiting to see what McCain says, though I'm kind of scared to find out.

LaShawn Barber, a black blogger who is prolife, writes today:

Barack Hussein Obama is an “articulate” infanticide-supporting liberal who doesn’t like being called a liberal.

And he’s going to be our next president.

I have no grand theories about why this is so. I just have a feeling he’ll be living in the White House come November. I feel no “racial pride” that he’s the first black major party nominee or that he’ll be the first black president of the United States, because values trump race in my world. Anyone who believes it’s OK for “doctors” to crush the heads of infants in the birth canal isn’t getting my vote. If you’re black and pro-life but feel “torn” between racial pride about his nomination and disgust for his pro-death stance, shame on you. Get your priorities straight.

Ouch. It should be noted that LaShawn is not a "pro-life only blogger". She blogs mostly about music and, when she does blog about politics, she covers a wide array of topics. Apparently some people just can't get past infanticide.

Like many of you, I giggled in delight when I first heard that Hillary had lost the Democratic primary. This was, of course, months ago, and since then Hillary has been a good democrat by dragging on the inevitable.

However, the giggles quickly ended when we saw who had won the primary. A dismal choice indeed. While I've personally always wanted a black in the White House, I was hoping for a good black, not a Democrat black.

We already know that Obama psycholly supported infanticide in Illinois. We also know that he supports abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy for thirteen year-old girls across state lines without their parents knowledge. He also seems to want to court Iran and "bring the troops home" which will probably contribute in the deaths of even more people than who are being killed while we are there.

Thankfully, Republicans have a candidate that will rally them and remind them of true Republicanism: John McCain! Wait, wait, I'm sorry, I think I went a tad bit overboard there.

*sigh* We're screwed.

Seriously though, I have no idea who will win this election. I think that liberals will be quite pumped with a Hillary and Obama ticket, though we don't know for sure if that's going to happen, because, like democrats, they like to drag this crap out. McCain had better choose a great VP; one whom Republicans like better than McCain himself, or we're definitely going down.

Heck, at this point, I don't even know if I can vote for McCain. He's a liberal, and I don't swing that way when it comes to voting. Perhaps if he were really strong on the life issue I'd totally vote for him, but he's not. He's just a grumpy old war prisoner to me. Woot, woot, go Republicans, go.
