[...] Did I say irrationally? Oh yes, you betcha. One of the first diagnosed sufferers is the former singer Barbara Streisand, she famously wrote a memo to Dick Gephardt in 2002 that the president was dragging us toward war to satisfy, among the usual corporate malefactors who â€œclearly have much to gain if we go to war against Iraq,â€ the logging industry. Â The Logging Industry. Yeah. She said that. Â At first Bush Derangement Syndrome only struck people with a previously compromised intellectual immune system, like Barbara Streisand, Alec Baldwin, Rosie Oâ€™Donnell. Even people that have shown no capacity for intellectual thought such as Keith Olberman, but then it was discovered in people that most Americans once thought were above intellectual paralysis: Dan Rather, Bill Moyers, Howard Dean. These are the morons that, without any historical insight what so ever, have compared Bush with Hitler. These people have actually, publicly, and with little shame or embarrassment have blamed George Bush for the Rt. 35 Bridge Disaster in Minneapolis, The California Wildfires, Dead Salmon, Hurricane Katrina, the Bhutto assassination, the Lance Armstrong-Sheryl Crow split, at least one abortion (itâ€™s stupid), steroids in baseball, and a mall shooting in Houston, honest!Heâ€™s been blamed for not signing the Kyoto Protocol, even though President Clinton had already signed it. Heâ€™s been blamed for invading Iraq, even though President Clinton had signed that policy into law in 1998. Heâ€™s s been blamed for having the most corrupt administration in history even though actual facts show that honor falls to Ulysses Grant (Clinton is #2, Carter #3). Heâ€™s been blamed for calling up the national guard even though the viscous and treasonous cuts in the military budget and manning by President Clinton made it mandatory. Heâ€™s been blamed for not catching Osama Bin Laden even though Bin Ladenâ€™s freedom was a gift from President Clinton.Â [...]

Boy, THIS makes me want to rush out and legalize all sorts of birth control and abortifacients over the counter

The headline on the MSN homepage was “Teenage Girls Pressured Into Having Sex”, but the article is really titled, Many teenage girls feel pressured into sex - Survey finds young women give in out of fear of angering boyfriend.

I’m a bit on the fence on many aspects of the abortion issue but found your article and your talking points interesting. However, (minor topic drift) I’d like to respectfully point out one statement of yours with which I take issue:

The Christian conservatives [...] feel themselves prevented from living life the way that they see fit because others are imposing their beliefs on them.

This overly generous characterization of the the Christian Right (”conservative” is a misnomer for these right-wing radicals) is painfully ironic considering the vitriolic tenacity with which they keep attempting to alter the federal Constitution to impose their beliefs upon others (i.e., the “Federal Marriage Amendment”). Even to return to the abortion debate, most Christan “conservatives” are in this fight, not because they want to prevent others from “imposing their beliefs on them,” but rather because they feel driven by moral imperatives to impose their beliefs on the rest of the nation. Regardless of what side one is on, this is an empirical fact.

Just wanted to make that point, because while I can appreciate your points in the rest of the article, I had to take some exception to that paragraph!

Thank you so much for writing this post. Especially for this quote, “Without the politicization of religion, she would be living in a city where African Americans were still riding in the back of the bus.” This was the best post I’ve read in response to the Washington Post article. I have the feeling the writer was either exaggerating her experience to make a political point or feeling guilty about having an abortion and making excuses about it.

I think we should all take a moment and thank God that this person decided not to pass on any more of her genes.

Obviously, Dana L of the WaPo didn’t read TigerHawk’s post from last year. And she didn’t Ask Alice, either.

It’s all Bush’s fault.

Kyle:

I agree that some Christian conservatives go too far in advocating government action in many areas. However, I believe most of the responsible groups advocate a more 1st amendment friendly approach where networks (and video game manufacturers)voluntarily subscribe to a philosophy that protects children by showing adult programming after 9:00 pm est and placing warning labels on video games.

This seems to me to be a minimum intrusion and the very least those entities could do.

“…But I can see some people asking that such fare be denied to youngsters as a responsible component of rearing children…” I agree with you in that those who can not protect themselves (children) should be protected by safeguards, but I hear too many Christians talk about censorship of television, movies, and video games. I cannot help but think that they should just hit the “off” button, instead of allowing these forms of media to babysit.
