DISGRACEFUL, DISGUSTING, IMMORAL, DESPICABLE & UNAMERICAN

News Item: "The Oklahoma Legislature voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to override vetoes of two highly restrictive abortion measures, one making it a law that women undergo an ultrasound and listen to a detailed description of the fetus before having an abortion.

Though other states have passed similar measures forcing women to have ultrasounds, Oklahoma’s law goes further, requiring a doctor or technician to set up the monitor where the woman can see it and describe the heart, limbs and organs of the fetus. No exceptions are made for rape and incest victims.

The second measure passed into law Tuesday protects doctors from malpractice suits if they decide not to inform the parents of a unborn baby that the fetus has birth defects. The intent of the bill is to prevent parents from later suing doctors who withhold information to try to influence them against having an abortion.

Gov. Brad Henry, a Democrat, vetoed both bills last week. The ultrasound law, he said, was flawed because it did not exempt rape and incest victims and was an unconstitutional intrusion into a woman’s privacy. He painted the other measure as immoral."

After reading that, almost nothing else really needs to be said, does it? But just to spell it out, it is disgraceful, disgusting, immoral and un-American and the people who voted for this should be prosecuted and then publicly flogged. They are despicable!

Behold the work of republicans in concert with the religious right. The same republicans who preach "getting government off of our backs." Of course for them this need to limit government only applies when it comes to its getting in they way of their business pursuits. The rest; the guns, the military spending...support our troops, (as in sending them to war without body armour and properly armored vehicles) the "family values", the anti abortion, actually puts government on our backs and in our bedrooms and now in our doctors offices. For the republicans, it is an old game, pandering to the most extreme and narrow minded groups out there so as to split the electorate and secure the votes needed so that they can achieve political power and manage the government in a way that maximizes their profits. If in the process, they trample upon our rights and personal freedoms and those of our families well, that is just the cost of doing business. So much for family values.

These hypocrites are the first ones to be caught in scandal, caught in the very acts and lifestyles that they rail against as immoral. Well, they have been caught again because nothing could be more immoral than passing a law to torment women who want to exercise their constitutional rights to privacy by coming between her and her doctor. It is despicable. If such laws are constitutional then there truly is something wrong with our constitution.

This is America. I don't expect you to have to live by my values, why do you want to force me to live by yours? It is disgraceful, disgusting, immoral, despicable & un-American!

SO YOU WANT TO VOTE REPUBLICAN, HUH?

So lets see, to be a right winger you need to be;

• Against a woman's right to choose. 
• Against any effective gun control. 
• Against effective regulations to maintain clean air and water. 
• Against effective financial regulation. 
• Against fair minimum wages. 
• Against, effective worker and consumer safety laws. 
• Against tax cuts for the middle class and for them for the top 1%. 
• Against equal rights for those who are gay.
• For torture and unnecessary wars of choice.
• For Christian prayer in our schools and eliminating the constitutional separation of church & state.
• For insurance companies and big banks over people.
• For allowing our iconic domestic auto manufactures to go out of business just so you can break their unionized workers and give advantage to foreign owned automakers who built state subsidized non union factories.
• For predatory student and home loan lending practices.
• For unconstitutional warrantless wiretaps

This is not my idea of America.

Go ahead vote republican. Vote for the very people who got us into this mess in the first place. Believe the endless lies you hear on Fixed News and ignore the positive direction our country has taken on almost every issue since the election of Barack Obama despite uniform, lock step opposition from republicans who despite the merits of an issue will do or say anything to regain power.

Go ahead vote republican, you will get an angry, selfish, narrow minded America. An America feared perhaps throughout the world but not admired or respected.

Go ahead vote republican and surely you will get the America that you deserve.
