Ok, there is no point in saying this is a unbiased paper - but it is free and has good restaurant and movie reviews, sometimes a good laugh in News from the Weird, and some local news of interest that the daily does not touch.  That said, I find myself reluctant to attempt to read it anytime near an election - but I did last night before watching the convention.

Basically said in a sensible society Palin should be convicted of child abuse by not forcing her daughter to get an abortion.  I just hope these "pro-choice" people keep talking.  Every time they open their mouth and spew hate it helps our candidates.

Anyway, here is a link to the article.

Hmmm...

child abuse for NOT "forcing" a 17 year old daughter to kill her unborn baby?   It's more appropriate to "force" an abortion and have the girl go through mental anguish, depression, second-guessing into her 40's and of course blaming her parents for the ordeal since she would have had no choice in the matter?

Sooooo much for personal responsibility, much less contradictory viewpoints!

Ah yes, the lie of "free choice". They should call it mandated choice in this situation.

Fascism only gives the ILLUSION of free choice.

Jeebus, I can't believe an American would write that. It sounds like something out of China.

Austin is full of people who think they actually speak on behalf of the rest of the state. They seem to forget, however, that no one cares what they fuck they are talking about. Texas is a proud conservative state.

I love Austin, but man, sometimes the massive amounts of libtards here makes me sad.  

Here's what the 'tard said:


Whatever you think of their politics, the Repub­licans generally find ways to be entertaining. So it is this week in St. Paul, Minn., where the Grand Old Party is hosting its disgraced standard-bearer only via satellite – incumbent President Bush being apparently just too busy to pay an actual visit to the Republican National Convention that will nominate his successor. (One can hear the faint prayer of the party faithful: "Oh Lord, let there be a little-bitty hurricane, just big enough to close Dulles Airport.") The flummoxed GOP strategists are also trying to figure out how to market their very peculiar vice presidential nominee, who would make a more likely candidate for an oil-field sitcom – Married (in Alaska) With Children. You've got to hand it to the party of family values: This crowd fervently prefers teenage pregnancy and shotgun marriages to sex education and birth control.

In a sensible culture, parents who would keep their children ignorant of basic sexual knowledge and then expect them to give birth on demand – by all accounts, sacred principles of the Palin tribe – would be considered guilty of child abuse. In the good old U.S. of A., especially its hinterland regions, such primitive practices are not only tolerated but celebrated – if you play your cards right, they could get you nominated for national office. The Sarah Palin Saga is only the latest, goofiest chapter in the ascendancy of the Sanctified Know-Nothing Party to titular Leadership of the Free World.

However blissfully innocent of world affairs Palin may actually be – and the available evidence is that she qualifies well to be the notoriously vindictive mayor of a small Alaskan town – she is certainly no less qualified to run a dying empire than the current White House occupant. Reporters from The Huffington Post discovered this tidbit from a Palin speech to members of her Assembly of God congregation: "[Pray] for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God. ... That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan." Bush is nominally a Methodist but even less shy about proclaiming that his Iraq war decisions arrive directly from God Almighty.



My retort to this fucktard would be:

How do you KNOW Palin's daughter didn't know about/was not educated on/ did not use contraception?  Do you know that contraception is NOT 100% effective?  The only 100% method of preventing pregnancy is the one thing you WILL NOT SUPPORT - abstinence, but you would never teach that to your children, because it doesn't let them make their own choices.

In the face of the absence of factual knowledge about Bristol Palin's use or disregard for contraception, you cannot condemn her as ignorant, nor can you condemn her parents or the community she was raised in.  You simply don't know the circumstances of the conception of her child.

We need a fire mission on that POS author.



This is a good place to start. Here's the webpage with the email contact for everyone of importance that works there (scroll down after page opens).

Where is the "choice" in "pro-choice"?

And we're not all like that here.  The only thing the Chronicle is good for is finding which bands are playing where.  Other than that it makes great charcoal starter for the chimney or perhaps birdcage liner.

Hey now.  Just make sure you aim at the hippy part of Austin (i.e. Central Austin) and don't hit us conservatives out in the burbs.

The only difference between the chronicle and the statesman is the chronicle is free.  Otherwise, both papers are fish wraps.
