“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see”–
Alice of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
Clearly the left are Aliceites. They are aficionados of Alice viewing the world through the looking glass. They want a world of nonsense, a world devoid of meaning so that everything can be molded and morphed at will into anything that appeals to temporary desires. It is called situational ethics, which are, of course, no ethics at all.
Today we have two examples of this, one in America and one in England. We’ll focus on England first.
The UK Telegraph is reporting about the new it, the new thing assuming a status of “personhood,” a genderless human. That’s right the Telegraph is purporting that a British citizen is “officially” a genderless human, neither male nor female.
Norrie May-Welby, we are told, was born a man but had a sex change operation in 1990. For a time this “person” lived as a woman. But now she-he-it has decided that, “The concepts of man or woman don’t fit me. The simplest solution is not to have any sex identification.”
And so, the Aliceites in British government decided to comply and make May-Welby an “official” person of “no specific gender.”
Just as the Brits claimed to have the first man to have a baby back in 2008, now the Brits claim to have the first genderless person. But true to their Aliceite tendencies, neither is true and both “would be what it isn’t.”
You see, the “first man to have a baby” was never a man — born a woman, period — and the first “genderless person” was born a man and is still despite the cosmetic veneer carved into his flesh.
My second story is in Washington D.C. where President Obama and his minions in Congress are trying to pass a bill that no one has voted for using the so-called process of “deeming” and the “Slaughter rule.”
Democrats can’t get enough votes for their socialist takeover of America’s healthcare system so, instead of applying the centuries old process of campaigning for a law, writing a law, and then seeing that law voted up or down by our duly elected representatives, the Democrats are peering through the looking glass to find the Aliceite way to pass a bill into law without anyone voting at all.
Just like the left in the west is making murderous Islam a protected class, just as it imagines it can create an economy by stifling business, just as these illogical nits imagine that they can destroy all history and make the world new merely by saying so, they’ve created a world where “nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t.”
As the Wall Street Journal says, “We have entered a political wonderland, where the rules are whatever Democrats say they are.” But the WSJ is only focused on U.S. politics. A wider view would find that we are all Aliceites now.
A group of Hispanic lawmakers on Thursday will tell President Barack Obama that they may not vote for healthcare reform unless changes are made to the bill’s immigration provisions.
immigration remains just as explosive an issue and carries the same potential to derail the entire healthcare endgame, a number of Democrats said.
“It’s still one of those issues that’s out there,” said Rep. Xavier Becerra (Calif.), the Democratic Caucus vice chairman and the only Hispanic member of House leadership.
And what is the issue (as if you couldn’t have guessed)
The Senate language would prohibit illegal immigrants’ buying healthcare coverage from the proposed health exchanges. The House-passed bill isn’t as restrictive, but it does — like the Senate bill — bar illegal immigrants from receiving federal subsidies to buy health insurance.
Hispanic Democrats say they haven’t moved from their stance that they will not vote for a healthcare bill containing the Senate’s prohibitions.
They claim that while it may be politically popular in some parts of the country to ban illegal immigrants from using their own money to buy coverage, it is not good policy. Illegal immigrants will, one way or another, need medical attention in the United States, and it would be cheaper and more humane to provide them coverage if they pay for it. Otherwise, they will seek treatments in the nation’s emergency rooms, effectively increasing medical costs.
One would think it would be also legally popular, since illegals are here in the United States, well, illegally. As in against the law, both criminally and civilly.
So, if government sponsored health insurance for illegal aliens is put back in the legislation, that should make it even more popular with the American people. And I am so darned glad that folks on the left are so concerned with following the law.
Lila Rose has done it again, exposing yet another Planned Parenthood clinic breaking the law. This is the tenth clinic exposed in the Mona Lisa Project with Live Action Films (you can see the great work she’s done in the past here), where she’s shown how Planned Parenthood clinics cover up the sexual abuse of a child and tell young girls how to avoid parental notification.
This video comes from Milwaukee, WI:
This debuts at a good time, considering the release of Barack Obama’s new health care plan. It was revealed yesterday that $7 billion is going towards community health centers, hidden in a provision. How much of that money will be going to Planned Parenthood clinics across the country? How much of it will be going to other abortion clinics?
At a time when it’s being shown that Planned Parenthood flagrantly refuses to follow the law, Obama is setting up his new health care plan to enable more abortion funding. What does that say about how extremist Obama is in his pro-abortion views? Pro-life or pro-abortion, what happens in these clinics should make you sick. Any rational person who had even the slightest hint of morals wouldn’t allow the actions of Planned Parenthood to continue unpunished — yet that is exactly what has happened in state after state after state.
And worst of all (though unsurprising), far from condemning this activity, Obama is gearing up to funnel even more money to this illegal organization.
At least there is someone out there who will keep working to expose Planned Parenthood as the evil organization that it truly is.

Situating a perverted creep like Kevin Jennings as the “Safe Schools Czar” is only the first step in bringing Hopey Change to primary education. Next, our liberal rulers need to pass the proper legislation to support the indoctrination of small children with homosexual propaganda. This legislation is known as HR 4530.
The ostensible purpose is to prevent “discrimination” against homosexual children. Since most children are too young to be homosexual, the real objective must be something else — namely:
The purpose of this bill is not what is being stated, but is quite simply to mandate in public schools one acceptable viewpoint on the issue of homosexuality, using purported violence or harassment as the rationale, and the power of the feds as the hammer. … In summary, this is an attempt to promote sexual deviance and its expression and silence those who want to protect children from such corruption.
As with everything coming out of Washington lately, another goal is to weaken federalism and consolidate increasingly intrusive centralized power.
Federal governmental intrusion and sweeping new unregulated powers in what are local and state matters are proposed in this bill. Enforcement will primarily be through federal agencies, which will craft new regulations to back up this bill’s provisions with the President’s approval.
But the main point of the bill is to facilitate the brainwashing of small children with the progressive kakistocracy’s depraved sexual agenda, suppressing any speech deemed unsupportive of homosexual deviancy. As Jim Hoft puts it:
In other words, if you oppose radical sexual material detailing sex between first graders or promoting S&M but the Safe Schools Czar or some other official believes it is appropriate — tough. If you disagree with books romanticizing child rape or books with pictures of men having sex — tough. If you oppose weekend student-teacher seminars with fisting lectures and gay bar guides — tough. If government officials want to promote this in your child’s classroom then you’ll just have to get used to it.
A pro-life billboard from Georgia Right To Life has liberals and feminists hopping mad, angry about being confronted with an uncomfortable truth. The billboard looks like this:
The billboards are clearly meant to catch your attention, and draw attention to the fact that minorities get a disproportionately large number of abortions, and especially in Georgia. Even the New York Times, which writes about the controversy with sentences dripping with disdain, is forced to admit the troubling statistics are real.
In 2006, 57.4 percent of the abortions in Georgia were performed on black women, even though blacks make up about 30 percent of the population, according to the most recent figures from the federal Centers for Disease Control. Of the 37 states that reported abortion data by race, Georgia was second only to New York and Texas in the number of abortions performed on black women. Only Mississippi and Maryland reported a higher percentage of abortions going to black women than Georgia.
The Census Bureau reported similar numbers for African-Americans nationwide. In 2005, black women had a rate of 49.3 abortions for every 1,000 performed as opposed to 13.6 for white women. Hispanic women came next at 26. Does this make black children “endangered”? Hardly. The fertility rate for black women is also higher, so of course black children are not literally in danger of becoming extinct. But I think it seems clear the the billboards are part of a shock campaign designed to get the attention of black women. Feminists and liberals know this, I’m sure, and are feigning outrage because Heaven forbid the public is exposed to any kind of pro-life messaging.
Most people, with the exception of strong pro-lifers, don’t know that black women get a disproportionate number of abortions. They also don’t know the disturbing background of Planned Parenthood… and that its founder, Margaret Sanger, was a racist who was a proponent of eugenics. This video from the American Life League, for example, details how deep racism and eugenics ran in Margaret Sanger.
So while this ad campaign may be shocking and a little over-the-top, it’s certainly making a valid point. The website featured on the billboards, www.toomanyaborted.com, exposes Planned Parenthood’s racist past and the sad statistics for abortions black women get in Georgia and across the country. Did you know, for example, that 94% of all abortion clinics are located in urban areas? Nationwide, blacks make up 12.8% of the population but account for 36.4% of all abortions. 43% of all black pregnancies end in abortion. Who can look at those statistics and feel their heart swell with pride? I doubt that there’s a vast racist conspiracy going on to exterminate the black race. I do think that Planned Parenthood happily profits off of underprivileged black women without ever giving them a chance to explore other options.
Once again, I can’t help but notice how “pro-choice” really means pro-abortion. Feminists and liberals howl with outrage whenever anything negative about abortion is even so much as mentioned. Why? Is the pro-abortion position really so fragile that they cannot handle the thought of Americans being informed about the gruesome nature of abortion? Most Americans don’t cheer the idea of a baby never getting the opportunity to live their life. They see it as a tragedy. But pro-choicers can’t handle that tragedy being brought to light… which, again, leads me to believe that it isn’t that they are for women making their own choice about their bodies. They want women to have abortions.
The abortion lobby, and especially Planned Parenthood, shows itself over and over again to be evil, out for blood and money. Black women deserve to know the truth about how they are being targeted.
