Another Reason to Vote for Todd Akin...

He's a rescuer! Democrat Patrick Murphy in Florida running against Allen West was arrested years ago in a drunken brawl. Todd Akin was arrested for defending the right to life of babies. In my book, that's one more reason to support him. He was willing to put himself on the line to protect the weakest. Isn't that what we should expect from our "public servants?"

Akin Acknowledges Arrest

Time for Karl Rove to Go!

Hey, Mitt, Dump Rove

A few excerpts from the article about the man who joked about murdering Todd Akin:

According to a Businessweek reporter’s account of that meeting, Rove made the following remark: “We should sink Todd Akin. If he’s found mysteriously murdered, don’t look for my whereabouts!”

Rove later apologized to Akin, who, unlike Rove, quickly accepted his regrets.
What Rove said behind closed doors is far more disgraceful than anything Akin, a gentleman, ever thought of saying. But an apology is hardly enough to erase a remark like that. So it’s time for Rove to take his own advice to Akin and get out of the way so he doesn’t become a distraction in this race. 

As the grand dame of the conservative movement, Phyllis Schlafly, said: “Karl Rove has made himself toxic to Republicans by his incredibly offensive and dangerous statement suggesting the murder of Congressman Todd Akin of Missouri. Any candidate or network who hires Rove will now be tarnished with this most malicious remark ever made in Republican politics. … Rove has been calling on Todd Akin to resign, but the one who should resign because he made an embarrassing, malicious and downright stupid remark is Karl Rove.”...

Rove instantly went ballistic over Akin’s unfortunate but innocent phraseology. That’s because he never liked Akin and never supported him. He bet on a primary candidate who lost to Akin, who was not the country club Republican choice to take on McCaskill.

Karl Rove is a neo-con bully with a vision of the American empire. His nastiness toward grassroots conservatives is well known.  He's a Rockefeller, country club Republican whose time is past. Pat Buchanan pegged him and other Republicans like him when he quoted Whittaker Chambers saying,  "the great failing of American conservatives is they do not retrieve their wounded." Men like Karl Rove like to kick them when they're down. It's time for Rove to receive some of his own treatment. Give him the boot, show him the door, take away his mike. He has nothing to say that's worth listening to!

Should Babies Be Executed for their Fathers' Crimes?

Rape is a horrible crime that has two victims when the mother becomes pregnant. It is tragic that Gloria Allred was raped and perhaps in the emotion of the time, she is less culpable for killing her baby. But she was still wrong. And her comment about mandatory motherhood is ridiculous. No woman is forced to be a "mandatory mother." A rape victim can choose to let another woman mother her child if raising the little one is too painful or difficult. But no child deserves the death penalty for the crime of the father.

Piers Morgan was raised Catholic. It is sad to see both him and Allred be such bullies. That's what a person is who picks on someone weak and helpless. But we're not just talking about picking on somebody with name-calling. We're talking about ripping babies apart limb from limb. That's not a choice anyone should ever make for anyone else!

Rebecca is absolutely correct. No other right matters if a person is refused the right to life. Gloria Allred chose capital punishment for her baby. Rebecca was protected by the law as every baby should be. Every baby should be protected. "A person's a person no matter how small."

Thank you, Lord, for mother's who don't respond to the violence of rape by committing the violence of abortion. Please convert the hearts of Gloria Allred and Piers Morgan.

This Man Speaks with Authority and Wisdom

Hang tough, Todd Akin. You have a lot of folks in your corner! And this man pegs it when he talks about the liberal celebrities who joke about rape with impunity. Their ugly hypocrisy is nauseating! And by the way, the biggest enabler of the rape of young girls in history, Planned Parenthood, has a representative speaking at the Democratic National Convention. No surprise for the party of death.

As Someone Born After Rape, I Say Todd Akin Shouldn’t Step Aside

Remember Serial Womanizer and Rapist Bill Clinton?

Todd Akin is getting crucified for mis-speaking about rape. But the real rapist is in the Democratic party and he doesn't just talk about it. Remember Juanita Broaddrick? But Democratic women just swoon over Billy Boy. He got away with it all and is still a leader of the pack. Shall we discuss Bill's serial abuse of women?

Bill Clinton has the Real Rape Problem

"While Todd Akin is stewing in the woodshed, Bill Clinton is preparing to speak at the Democratic National Convention, and the women most offended by Akin’s dumb remarks will be queuing up to cheer Clinton on. Yes, it is a mental disorder."

Meanwhile the Republicans who seem to be the models for "Diary of a Wimpy Party," are piling on Akin instead of acting like men and saying he's apologized let's move on. In a great article, Joseph Farah pegged it:

"Republicans are quick to turn on their own to show just how magnanimous and respectable they are. They want to demonstrate to the media and the electorate that they are smarter than those who occasionally stumble. And this is why they remain the minority party even when Democrats are destroying the country before our eyes.

"Think about it. It’s like a friend of mine said recently. 'Which of the following do you find more troubling? 1) Ted Kennedy kills a woman; 2) Barney Frank runs a homosexual prostitution ring out of his apartment; 3) Bill Clinton is credibly accused of raping Juanita Broaddrick; (4) Todd Akin misspeaks.'"

Todd Akin may very well lose in November because the Republican establishment is guaranteeing it as a self-fulfilling prophecy with all their demands for his head on a platter. They are hanging a good pro-life candidate out to dry instead of rallying and reminding the electorate that words don't do nearly the damage that behavior does. Remember that little episode with the cigar and the blue dress? But if Romney loses, the Republican establishment will be wringing their hands and blaming Akin instead of themselves - just like they blamed Sarah Palin. Gotta have a scapegoat.

All this just goes to prove, once again, columnist Joe Sobran's point that the Republicans are the "stupid party" -- the really stupid party. God help us!

Todd Akin's Mistake is the Liberal's Opportunity!

Nothing like a handy little distraction to fuel faux liberal outrage. When I watched Congressman Akin's interview I knew what he meant as the article linked at the end of this post discusses. It was a poor choice of words, but he appeared to be talking about a rape that's actually consummated. Obviously if the rapist violates the woman in another way, there is no possibility of pregnancy. And the Congressman is right -- even when the rape is consummated, most victims don't become pregnant. His remarks were NOT an attack on women; and he made a legitimate point when he said we shouldn't punish an innocent child for the father's crime. And what's Todd Akin's crime? He failed to show compassion. That's not the same as not being compassionate, but in the world of virtual reality, perception is everything. And he's being perceived and painted as a monster.

The subsequent pile on by people on both sides of the aisle is pathetic, certainly not surprising from the liberals. It's a godsend for them, especially his opponent, and she is no doubt burning incense to Gaia in thanksgiving. What hypocrites! Consider their love for Planned Parenthood, an organization that enables statutory rape of minors as young as twelve and thirteen and then surgically rapes them by abortion at the request of the rapist. Where is the outrage over Obama and the Democrats ACTIONS supporting Planned Parenthood? Liberal politicians aren't involved in just an unfortunate choice of words. Obama and his allies essentially give the rapists at Planned Parenthood carte blanche! Oh but they are so outraged at Akin. Yeah right. They are high-fiving in the back room!

I am certainly not cavalier about rape and I have no reason to believe Todd Akin is either. He is pro-life and has strong credentials to back it up. My husband and I spent fifteen years offering a shelter home for women in crisis pregnancies.
