I stand by the substance of what I’ve stated but I regret and apologize for the tone.

I will respect the administrator and move on.

And you’re willing to dismiss my points all because of this perceived lack of rhetorical skill? Facts are facts, dear. Anthony lied to his people, Philomena is defending him. I’m warning her that her actions can put her in the same position that he is in. And you’re willing to dismiss all that because you’re not happy with my style?

I bet you’re not even a woman.

You have many good points to make but your anger and/or lack of classic rhetorical skill leaves you unable to communicate without the use of abusive and intimidating language that I believe is designed to silence those who think differently than you do.

What are your aspirations I wonder?

There’s a permanent record here of your apparent misogyny, vulgarity and inability to communicate effectively.

Consider yourself messed with…… MASTER_BAITER !

As for your main point: I am not a fascist fool. I am making a perfectly sensible observation that Ms. Philomena is going down the same road Anthony is going down, and that the consequences for the actions may be mirrored to such. Fascism has no relevance in the statement as such. If you wanted an explaination, ASK ME. Don’t make accusations. They make you look like a victim of buggery.

The “personal Jesus” comment is quite plain to state, in that Philomena seems to be worshipping Anthony like he was Jesus or something. To which he isn’t. To get with the program simply means to stop blindly worshipping Anthony like he’s the God of the U of O.

Margo, I hope you take a lesson from this. Don’t mess with the Master.

First let me quote you:

” Well, Philomena, you’re a fucking fool for supporting the ass-crack named Anthony Warren.

And you may end up like him, with no future, if you’re not careful. So stop making him your personal Jesus, and start getting with the program. ”

You are a small-minded neo-fascist fool to make such a statement / threat.

My point is quite conspicuous I think. Unlike you and a few others around here I don’t need to go on for several paragraphs each time I have a thought.

How easily we can become the fascists we claim to despise !

Nothing makes you look dumber (besides your arguments that
abortion is genocide) than your inability to form grammatically
correct English sentences.

DANGEROUS WORDS MY DEAR!

GET WITH “THE PROGRAM” OR YOU’LL HAVE NO FUTURE ?????

MY OH MY….HOW WE CAN BEGIN TO SOUND LIKE THOSE WE RAIL AGAINST !

REPENT !! lol

And you may end up like him, with no future, if you’re not careful. So stop making him your personal Jesus, and start getting with the program.

For the record, my prefered nomenclature is anti-fetus or pro-death. And, yes, I’ll continue to be glib about it because I might as well be with you people. You believe, with all sincerity, that the removal of a 9-week-old parasite is morally equivalent to stabbing my neighbor for his stereo. Maybe worse, because at least my neighbor isn’t an “innocent child” or one of the “unborn” or some other such nonsense. And, fine, you’re well within your rights to believe that if you want to, and it does flow logically from that belief that you’d try to make abortion illegal (after all, it harms the welfare of another in your mind and is therefore bad)…but there’s little evidence to support you. Okay, so if the blastocyst implants it might not miscarry, hell, it’s got about a 2/3 chance of staying in there…but the little tadpole won’t demonstrate human brain activity until about four months after that, won’t be able to support itself outside of a natal environment for six or seven. Those are the medical facts, if you’re dead when your brain stops, makes sense that you’d be alive when it starts. If you can pull the plug on Granny why not on junior?

But, you know, I’m sure you’re literate and at this point I’m just repeating myself. The sad thing is that you really just don’t seem able to get it. Rather than make an actual, you know, argument as to why, medical facts aside, we should all jump on anti-choice bandwagon you put up pictures of miscarriages and stillbirths to evoke an emotional rather than a rational response. What’s worse, because I’ve seen that trick before and it’s annoying but otherwise unremarkable, is that you have the audacity to claim it’s just as bad as the mechanized, systematic destruction of every dissenter and Jew inside of Germany over a period of four years.

And now you hide behind the “it got people talking” excuse. That one has been used by everyone from holocaust deniers to PETA activists. I seem to recall The Insurgent saying something remarkably similar and a great number of God botherers getting pretty upset about it. I seem to recall, correct me if I’m wrong here, that a number of them actually called for the censure of The Insurgent over the offensive cartoons. Goose, gander, all that. “Getting poeple talking” is no excuse for blatant misrepresentation and hyperbole.

Lest I be misunderstood, I gladly accept that you have a right to place whatever signs you want anywhere on public land. Stand on a street corner yelling about how abortionists are going to hell if you want, Bible Jim* seems to get a gas out of that kind of thing. It’s just that your tactics are stupid, unlikely to be successful (protest all you want, your sample is going to be rife with representativeness and availability bias), and your implications are completely, utterly absurd.

And, frankly, I blame Descartes for this whole mess.

*”Dykes on Bikes” remains my favorite from the “People Are Going To Hell” list, it seems to imply that pedestrial lesbians are A-OK, but that they need not to ride bikes in order to achieve eternal salvation.

Like I said before, this is a cyclical argument and it’s frustrating if you don’t see connect my points to yours. Why are you wasting so much of you time writing blogs directed at me if you think i’m too juvenille or immature to have any valid opinion? I don’t get you.

P.S. Timothy, I think you and I should start at square one on the abortion issue because you’re obviously pro-choice.

Anthony Warren does not have a future in politics. Period.
