Comparing Abortion to the Ku Klux Klan

This site argues (or seems to) that abortion was/is designed to eliminate or reduce the numbers of non-whites. It's not a new argument, and I don't endorse it or support any attempts to take the right to abort a pregnancy away, but I'm linking to it for comments and discussion. And while we're on the subject, there has been a dry spell as far as comments here lately, so get with the program people -not you DM- and comment. What are you waiting for, for me to write some real posts? Just who do you think I am, Don Emmerich?

From the site:

In America today, almost as many African-American children
are aborted as are born.

A black baby is three times more likely to be
murdered in the womb than a white baby.

Since 1973, abortion has reduced the black population by over 25 percent.

Twice as many African-Americans have died from abortion than have died from
AIDS, accidents, violent crimes, cancer, and heart disease combined.

Every three days, more African-Americans are killed by abortion than
have been killed by the Ku Klux Klan in its entire history.

Planned Parenthood operates the nation's largest chain of abortion clinics and
almost 80 percent of its facilities are located in minority neighborhoods.

About 13 percent of American women are black, but they
submit to over 35 percent of the abortions.

The Birth of the U.S. Federal Reserve

Where does money come from? Where does it go? Who makes it? The money magician's secrets are unveiled. Here is a close look at their mirrors and smoke machines, the pulleys, cogs, and wheels that create the grand illusion called money. A boring subject? Just wait. You'll be hooked in five minutes. It sounds like a detective story, which it really is, but it's all true. Based on Mr. Griffin's book of the same title, this address will shatter your old ideas about money and change the way you view the world.-The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Lecture on the Federal Reserve

DM, Deep Cover Atheist?

Dennis Markuze, aka David Mabus, who currently posts most often under the Blogger profile DM (though he uses others) is a prolific spammer of copy-pasted crap that he slightly modifies periodically and leaves mostly at atheist (but also other) blogs and forums.

Ginx of Anything But Theist posted about him (Comment Moderation) and he responded with nothing but more of his incomprehensible lunacy.

But what if there is a method to his madness? What if I look at him through Bill Gnade's eyes? (see here for an example of Bill's logic). Could it be that DM is a fake? Not a theist at all but a raving atheist with a double purpose, to make theists look like loons while also providing pro-atheist links in his spam at the same time? Ingenious you say?

Mathew Miller makes the case by examining some recent DM rants:

...DM is not the psychologically damaged, mentally challenged psychopath he pretends to be, but is expressing an actual hatred of religion by actively mocking it. Not even a psychologically crazed moron could think any of his posts are actually convincing people or even defending his positions. What they are doing however is making people with religious beliefs look like clinically retarded idiots incapable of coherent thought. DM's rants embody everything the most hostile atheists decry about religion. He embodies the anger, resentment and violent undercurrent that lead to atrocities like the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition.

In my opinion, Dennis Markuze aka David Mabus is too perfect a parody of religion to be anything but an act.

Music Monday: Blackout

I was falling fast. I sat on the couch, not paying much attention, watching a funny soccer comedy. Someone was singing something disturbing, but I let my attention drift to my own troubles.

She was somewhere else, going for training on a new job, and I wondered when I would hear from her again. Then we all got into the car of my friend's friend, some kind of small SUV. I can't remember the details, but she was staying over for a few days. We just went up to the supermarket on the corner, it was late and yet we filled two shopping carts and wondered if all the stuff would fit into the back of the car. There and back the song was playing over and over and I'd never heard it before, so I asked the virtual stranger what it was, and she produced the CD, let me look at it. I later bought it at the last remaining Tower, and listened to only that one track, over and over...



Don't kid yourself,
And don't fool yourself,
This love's too good to last,
And I'm too old to dream...

Don't grow up too fast,
And don't embrace the past,
This life's too good to last,
And I'm too young to care...

Don't kid yourself,
And don't fool yourself,
This life could be the last,
And we're too young to see

Refuting 20 Capitalist Myths

Move To Ban Bullfighting In Spain

There is a growing anti-bullfighting movement in Spain? I guess so...


A History of Bullfighting


Spanish rights group calls for bullfighting ban debate.



Here is a petition to ban bullfighting, though I should make it clear that I'm not in favor of any new laws on this or anything else.

From the petition site:

Every year 250,000 bulls die slow and torturous deaths as a result of the bullfighting industry. While many of us imagine the matador piercing the heart of the bull with one quick movement, in reality the bull is repeatedly stabbed, skewered and slowly weakened as it bleeds to death.

The gruesome killing of hundreds of thousands of bulls is done in the name of entertainment and has no place in our modern society. It is time to update this outmoded tradition and start treating animals more humanely.


Reality of Bullfighting: Cruel and Barbaric.

Blog of the Moment: Labor is Not a Commodity



Labor is Not a Commodity



Kalpona Akter, a former child factory worker from the Bangladesh Center for Worker Solidarity, told of the grave working conditions occurring in the garment factories of Bangladesh. From poverty wages not being able to cover half the expenses for one person to the threatening and dismissal of workers who try to organize, Kalpona gave all an inside look at the neglect to worker’s rights and safety that the Bangladesh Parliament has for the many factories they own. Kalpona also reminded everyone of the tragic Garib & Garib Newaj Bangladesh factory fire that killed 21 employees and injured 50 others this past March. Workers’ efforts to escape proved to be both futile and fatal as factory doors had been previously locked.-Reportback from 2010 “Sweatshop Workers Speak Out” Speaking Tour
