Asay’s skull is so thick he suffers brain cramp.

I don’t normally like Chuck Asay, but even by his standards, this is bizarre.

What the heck does this cartoon mean?

Works for me, big ear.

Oh, let’s have a little character assassination for a change.
striper77 said, 4 months ago

Michael,

Those are his agenda items.

Billons and billions of tax dollars are going to that.
Anthony 2816 said, 4 months ago

No wonder Striper is so upset and full of hatred all the time. He seems to honestly think that Obama’s “agenda” includes forced abortions, eugenics, junk science, etc.
GNWachs said, 4 months ago

One of the problems as I see it is Obama is a man of firm convictions. He sees “problems” and wants to solve them. He is also very practical and knows 2010 is an election year and usually less gets accomplished. He also knows the in party usually loses seats in non Presidential election years. Today he has a veto proof Senate and a 70 vote margin in the House. His goal is to get absolutely everything accomplished while he can. Strike in 2009 while the iron is hot.

But for many of us this is too much and way too expensive. Some of his own supporters seem to be leaning this way

We shall see.

John Holdren is just the latest to be bedeviled by a phenomenon that has plagued thinkers for centuries - small minds that can’t tell the difference between discussing a radical concept and advocating it.

To them, there is no such thing as bringing up forced abortions as a theoretical means of population control in order to stimulate debate on the subject. To them, you cannot possibly have a thought without wanting to act on that thought.

Even worse are those who can tell the difference and exploit every opportunity to agitate those who can’t. That’s why a 30-year-old passage from a textbook is being dredged up and incessantly harped about in the right-wing media, just like that infamous Sonia Sotomayor passage. Throw a little bit of chum into the water, and the ensuing feeding frenzy ensures that any other accomplishment your target has made over years of work is obscured or lost in the ruckus.

Yeah, let’s get our science genius bush back. He’ll fix everything just fine and cut some more taxes for those poor rich folk too!

1. I suspect what what he means by “bozotus” is derived from POTUS, the acronym for “President of the United States.”
2. What today’s cartoon looks like, to me, is that they’ve pulled some of the Bush-Limbaugh-Republican bleeep – junk science, eugenics, and bizarre accusations – off the shelves and tossed it onto the floor to await proper disposal.
Anthony 2816 said, 4 months ago

Yeah, Nandy? Okay, show a legit reference proving that Obama’s “agenda” includes “forced abortions”.

I’ll expect that as so many times in the past you’ll completely fail to stand behind your lies, and instead just go off on meaningless tangents.
GNWachs said, 4 months ago

Anthony, in discussing “abortions” I hear repeatedly the question of what will happen under ObamaCare.
That is going to be a question that must be answered before any bill will pass.
InspectorWingnut said, 4 months ago

Don’t accuse Libs of being “Pro-Abortion”; they’re like the Germans in post-Hitler’s Germany…,”Holocaust, what Holocaust? We’re just good Germans.”
InspectorWingnut said, 4 months ago

Wow! He’s the best appointee yet! Here’s a quote from his 1977 book: that “sterilizing women after their second or third child” may be more practicable than sterilizing men and proposes a “long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin” at puberty and then “might be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births.” Taken from:
http://www.postchronicle.com/commentary/article_212246483.shtml and that’s just one quote.

Here’s another: “He queried: ‘Why should the law not be able to prevent a person from having more than two children?’ He wrote ‘that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution. [N]either the Declaration of Independence nor the Constitution mentions a right to reproduce.’.”
Hahahahahahaha-whew…! He’s a jewel!
InspectorWingnut said, 4 months ago

LOL!! And you think Asay is bad! This guy is looking for a “Planetary Regime” to enforce population control! You Libs never disappoint.
Anthony 2816 said, 4 months ago

What’s the matter, Striper…don’t have enough drivel to go around, so now you’re cut-and-pasting on multiple threads?

Anthony0007: InternetCop by day; porn star by night.
Anthony 2816 said, 4 months ago

Wachs, I’m not able to find any references to “forced abortion” by Obama. However, it sounds like you have. Share?

L. Doctor: I’m sorry, but I can’t make heads nor tails from your rants. But for the last post, I have, with complete lack of effectiveness, called Striper on his drivel. As far as porn star, no. Might have been an exciting idea in my youth, but last year my wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary in Paris, so no…no porn star roles for me.
InspectorWingnut said, 4 months ago

Even Football head is peeved!
ezdeb said, 4 months ago

Boy, this is a disgusting feeding frenzy of right-wing New World Order paranoia!

I have a question I’ve been trying to pin down. ANandy, GNW, et al, who do you ever hear, on the left, mention President Obama in such worshipful tones? You all sneer about “The One”, his minions, “He Who Must Be Obeyed”, and all that. The only people who talk so are righties. And aren’t you the ones who believe Ronald Reagan won the cold war by himself and single-handedly brought the Iran hostages home AND tore down the Berlin wall with his bare hands. Where do you get off?

Last point, for GNW. You state “Anthony, in discussing “abortions” I hear repeatedly the question of what will happen under ObamaCare. That is going to be a question that must be answered before any bill will pass.”

You hear this repeatedly because you listen to scary talking points about the fragility of the American culture, and you don’t listen to others. Get out there a little bit.
Anthony 2816 said, 4 months ago

Nandy, Nandy: Striper, in reference to the cartoon said, “Those are his agenda items”, and then you said, “I agree with Striper.”

I suspect what happened is that you couldn’t find any references to Obama wanting forced abortions, and since you never admit your errors, you’re now going off on tangents, as I predicted.

Stop lying and start apologizing.
InspectorWingnut said, 4 months ago

His science Czar thinks it would be a good idea:
http://www.postchronicle.com/commentary/article_212246483.shtml
Here’s the quote I included above:
“He wrote ‘that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution.”
GNWachs said, 4 months ago

Anthony- you asked a very legitimate question. I never used the words “forced abortion” and I wasn’t trying to be provocative. Before a national health bill can be passed the simple question of abortion must be answered. Will abortion, by free choice of doctor and patient, be covered? If the final bill comes down and says yes, abortions will be paid for, there will be many many congressmen who will vote no. If the final bill says no, abortions won’t be covered then there will other Congressman who will oppose the bill. Simple question which must be discussed and answered.

ezdeb: why do you try so hard to be obnoxious? The question of whether or not abortions will be covered must be answered. It doesn’t matter what side you are on, it needs an answer.
nomad2112 said, 4 months ago

“The One” shouldn’t have been smoking in the Oval Office.
Anthony 2816 said, 4 months ago

Wachs:

Financially speaking, abortions are cheaper than pregnancy, delivery and aftercare.

Legally speaking, abortions are legal.

Morally speaking, the choice should be between the patient and doctor.

Based on that, I think they should be covered. However, it would be nice to have some sort of stipulation to prevent them from being used as first-line birth control, although I can’t think of any way to word such a restriction.
Anthony 2816 said, 4 months ago

Fair enough. Since I’ve already answered your question, it won’t take long.

Nandy: “At what point did Obama enter my dialogue?”

Striper, in reference to the cartoon said, “Those are his agenda items”, and then you said, “I agree with Striper.”
ezdeb said, 4 months ago

First line of the “article” that HateDoctor links to: “As the debate over President Obama’s socialized healthcare plan heats up, the depth of his radicalism is becoming more evident.” Pretty fair and balanced, not.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Holdren

When it comes to this topic of abortion, ppl like ANandy, LoveDoc, etc just can’t avoid getting rabid. When someone like Asay throws around really scary terms like “forced abortion”, his minions shout “Yes! Amen!” Asay is, like, the One.

It will surprise no one that Holdren mentioned forced abortions as an extreme measure. And he was foreshadowing China’s one-child policy. He was not advocating government-sponsored/funded forced abortion.

Asay is being really irresponsible here; I guess the summer heat might be making him crabby and prone to incite hatred and misinformation.
Anthony 2816 said, 4 months ago

Yeah, the winter cold has a similar effect on Asay, too.
InspectorWingnut said, 4 months ago

What part of this quote are you having trouble deciphering?
Web site quote on Holdren:
“He wrote ‘that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution.”
Anthony 2816 said, 4 months ago

L. Doctor:

1) When was this written?
2) Under what context?
3) Is it part of Obama’s policy?
dlullmanii said, 4 months ago

Sidestepping the arguments here, and just addressing the cartoon: This from a guy who considers climate change denialism to be legitimate science, and who no doubt also considers creationism to be science (his Biblical worldview).

Hoo-boy!
ezdeb said, 3 months ago

dlull, I assume you’re talking about Asay, but it’s hard to tell from your post.

LoveAide, I am having no trouble deciphering the quote. I am also having no trouble recognizing it as a red herring.

In 1977 population control was a topic that rivaled today’s climate change as debate. Remember the environmental awakening in the 70’s? Put some context in your rant.
Anthony 2816 said, 3 months ago

You’re being even denser than usual, Nandy, in your desperate attempt to avoid admitting your errors.

Let’s see…Striper describes “him” (“his”, actually) as having spent “Billons and billions of tax dollars”.

Now why don’t you tell me which of your four “hims” that would apply to? That’s right, it’s Obama.

As you undoubtedly knew when you agreed with Striper, unless you’re even more stupid than I thought.

Why is it so difficult for you to just say, “Yes, I did agree with Striper that the cartoon shows Obama’s agenda items, but now I realize that none of those iterms are actually Obama’s policies”?

Be honest for once.

(And I agree with you on Obama’s rush to judgment, as I’ve posted elsewhere.)
Anthony 2816 said, 3 months ago

Yeah, Nandy? Okay, show a legit reference proving that Obama’s “agenda” includes “forced abortions”.

(See? After all your pitiful lying and back-pedaling, we’ve come full circle, and you’re back to the question I asked you 2 days ago. All you accomplished was to look dishonest and stupid. Now finally answer the question?)
Anthony 2816 said, 3 months ago

Here, I’ll give you a hint: Those items, like “forced abortions”, are not part of Obama’s agenda. They’re nothing more than out-of-context lines lifted from something written by an advisor more than 30 years ago.

You and Striper may be dumb enough to rely on an Asay political cartoon to determine what Obama’s policies are, but don’t expect the rest of us to go along with it.
GNWachs said, 3 months ago

Nobody has ever accused me of being an Obama supporter but while I think he is a strong believer in a woman’s right to choose there is nobody of importance in any aspect of American life in either party who is for “forced” abortions.
ezdeb said, 3 months ago

Thank you, GNW. It’s amazing how much traction crazy rumors can get unless reasonable people will just say something.

Happy monday everyone!
Anthony 2816 said, 3 months ago

As evidenced by Striper and ANandy instantly believing it.

After all, thanks to Asay, it appeared on the internet, so it must be true…
InspectorWingnut said, 3 months ago

Although I’m personally against most Democratic cherished beliefs…It seems these freak-a-zoids actually need airtime or a chance to express these views so the majority of Americans can resoundingly reject them and elect somebody like Reagan. (I didn’t even like Reagan. Maybe I should have).

Freak-A-Zoid Planks
1)Global Warming
a. Cap and Trade

b. Ban on combustion engine
2)Socialized Health Care
3)Culture of Death
a. Tax-payer funded Abortion on demand
b. Denial of conscience clauses
4)Judicial activism
a. Affirmative action
b. Ban on capital punishment
5)Environmental extremism
6)Globalism
a. international courts
7)Taxation without limits
8)Rule by the Elites
9)Media manipulation/ Propaganda
10)Gun Control
11)Limiting Christian and Religious Expression
This is just for starters. I would greatly appreciate others adding Freak-a-zoid Planks to my list so I can have something to reference when the freak-a-zoids are in session and passing laws.
Anthony 2816 said, 3 months ago

Puppy, why should we listen to you? Whenever we destroy your anti-American rants, you just change your name and run away.

Let’s just pick two of your all your current lies, judicial activism (4) and gun control (10)…based on past experience, that should be enough to make you run away:

Do you believe the authors of the 2nd amendment intended it to include revolvers, rifles, automatic weapons, nuclear arms: the judicial activist approach?

Or do you believe in a strict constructionist approach, which can only mean the second amendment allows for the arms of the day: single-shot muzzle-loader

By the way, Puppy, given all the lies you just posted, how do you feel about Rev 21:8: But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and ALL LIARS, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

A god-fearing christian such as yourself can only fear that lake, huh?
ezdeb said, 3 months ago

It doesn’t matter, Anthony. LoveCNA/Pup’s items #3 and #11 make any rebuttal moot. Even if you or I spend energy debunking (just for example) the idea that Dems support prohibiting the internal combustion engine, it won’t matter because they can always go down their goony list. And even if you debunk every single one of their long long list, the fact that #41 is “Pure Evil”. No debunking THAT, so HAH, dems!

It’s just fatiguing. And you play into their hands when you rebut with religion. That’s their mostest favoritest mudhole to wrestle in!
Anthony 2816 said, 3 months ago

No mention of Obama’s agenda in that piece, Nandy.

But thanks for the effort. And it only took you four days.
InspectorWingnut said, 3 months ago

Anthony, you are a sharpened blade of wit. ezdeb, I rarely broach religion first and offer my insights in rebuttal to other’s theological claims.

It is obvious that you all have no response to the fact that the Lib Agenda is hopelessly out of the mainstream. And even if it had hopes of gaining ground with the American Public, the real focus of the folks you helped elect is to obtain money and funding for their own be-knighted cronies and special interests. The money grab goes on and now it’s the DEMS turn to be played like a fiddle.
ezdeb said, 3 months ago

OK, pup, how is the lib agenda hopelessly out of the mainstream? I mean, a majority of people did vote for the guy a few months ago. Wasn’t it the repubs who got their puppy butts handed to them?

Cronyism exists in power, not a particular political party. The money grab is always on, and that’s why we must be HONESTLY vigilant.

If you ask people in a survey, if they agree with the mangy list you provide upthread, of course they will say they are against this “lib” agenda. But you labelled it so. It does not represent - at all - what I as a progressive, liberal American believe. If you believe that the mainstream America need protection from people like me who would vote for forced abortions, death to the elderly, etc, you are a fool.
Anthony 2816 said, 3 months ago

I don’t think Puppy even knows what most of those things on “her” list mean. She probably just cut-n-pasted it.

Look, I asked a pointed question concerning two of the items on it, and she didn’t even attempt to discuss it. All she did was lie yet again, saying we had no response.

No response she was capable of answering, for sure!

(Humph…in re-reading my response, I even predicted she’d just run away.)
NoFearPup said, 3 months ago

Are those your planks, Anthony? America don’t like ‘em. LeftWing-Nuts are popping their threads all over the place. Obama-Care is collapsing. The economy isn’t doing what the Lib-geniuses hoped. Maybe the Libs need to re-organize their goals. And make them more reasonable and mainstream.
Anthony 2816 said, 3 months ago

Puppy, stop speaking in tongues and address what I’ve said to you. It’s there for everyone to see. Stop running away with your puppy-tail between your legs.

I’ll even repeat it for you:

Let’s just pick two of your all your current lies, judicial activism (4) and gun control (10)…based on past experience, that should be enough to make you run away:

Do you believe the authors of the 2nd amendment intended it to include revolvers, rifles, automatic weapons, nuclear arms: the judicial activist approach?
