Where on the political spectrum do you lie? (Mods: Please don't move!)

Quick abortion story. A while back I had a conversation with a very intelligent Republican. We were crewing the same boat in Mexico and when we inevitably found out that each other was a Republican, we had some good talks. Anyways, he had a big problem with abortion (being started with the actual program the Nazi's used, by Margaret Sanger [This is from Wikipedia - "Margaret's original intention in founding Planned Parenthood was to "limit" the population of African Americans in New York City".). Being an African-American, he didn't like a lot about how the "abortion system" is run. Well, by the end of the conversation we both were at an all-new realization. That conservatives generally would not choose to have an abortion, but liberals generally would. We both looked at each other and decided to be pro-abortion because if all the liberals get them, there'd be none left! Evolution baby!

I have had that same thought for a number of years. I think it's a great idea, hahaha. No wonder Democrats can't win elections, their own legislation kills their future generation of voters, ha! So with that in mind, if the liberals want abortion, then I say go knock yourself out!

Just had another thought, maybe abortion is partly to blame for the social security problem. Think about it, we are now at a point where there aren't enough people as there were previously (1970's and earlier) to support the retired workers. So maybe all these babies people have been aborting through the years would be old enough to be in the work place, paying social security. Maybe this has come back to bite us on the ass with the social security crisis. Just a thought.

You can't keep inflating the population to keep up with expenses. You're just billing the problem forward. Eventually, growth has to stop or reverse itself, then you bear the full brunt of the problem!

reaganyouth, you have just negated your entire argument about opposing abortion. After all your moral patronizing about protecting life, you now claim that "murder" is okay as long as its the children of liberals. Nothing the fringe right says surprises me anymore, but I would think you'd be bright enough not to be so transparently opportunistic about the abortion debate if you wanna keep rolling in the votes of people who are genuinely anti-abortion. You've made it abundantly clear that wiping your political opponents off the face of the Earth is of greater value to you than upholding any moral ideal of "protecting the unborn." My only question is how you expect anybody to take your position on abortion, or any other political issue for that matter, seriously after such bloodthirsty invective.

If liberals were to embrace your viewpoint, they would actually support war. After all, it's mostly conservatives enlisting for combat, so the more war, the more conservatives who will end up in bodybags, right? You'd never hear such an abomination out of the mouth of this liberal, or any other I've ever known, since I'm not that viciously, mindlessly, cartoonishly partisan. Given your take on the abortion issue pertaining to the children of your political opponents, it's clear that you can't say the same.

What kinda of cigars have you been smoking Amanda?

Sarge, unless someone has been tampering with them, I've been smoking the kind as everyone else....filled with tobacco.

First off, you obviously have no sense of humor. Secondly, the quote about never hearing a liberal wanting a conservative solider to die....you've obviously never been on a college campus in your life. The college I attend isn't that liberal, but I've heard some things come out of liberals' mouths regarding conservatives and soldiers that make me wonder if they are even human. Just wait till you are out in the real world.

I also really liked how you decided to debate my joke over how abortion and social security are related which was the point of the whole post anyways.

reaganyouth, ummmm, first of all, I am a college student so I'm on a college campus nine months a year. Not once have I heard a student wishing ill on American soldiers. Secondly, you've just established that you are also a college student meaning that neither one of us is in a position to cite life in "the real world."

Haha, I've been through and seen enough to make me feel like I'm 50.

I knew you were in college though, because I knew that first post about abortion and taxes was some thesis of one of your professors that they gave to you.

I feel as though I could say the same. But since we're both only 21, I can assure you that's not the case. There's still a great deal of personal growth both of us can expect to encounter in the years ahead, for better or for worse.
