Joan Walsh: Supporting Bernie Sanders is... Racist?
She wonders if working class whites are voting against Hillary because of which president she served -- Well, she served as copresident with a white man, so I'm not sure who she could mean.
More of this horrific caterwauling from the Vinegary Valkaries of Vaginal Solidarity from Ed Driscoll at the Instapundit link.Comments

With so much badness in the world, it's a wonder a liberal can even walk into the voting booth without a trigger warning, because candidates' very names are microaggressions. No wonder they need ballot shenanigans to provide a precinct tally.
Seriously, it's a good thing they have so many dead people voting for them. The dead have seen it all, and are less offended.

Another white prog friend today was dismissive of the "angry white people" voting for Trump. She has no clue what a bigot she is.
The Dems used to be about the working class. Now they want to make a go of it on identity politics, so they deliberately deserted their base. Desertion wasn't enough, now they rub it in by insulting them.

Yup....In ways I have Libertarian tendencies.... I think it's okay for Marijuana to be legal, I think Hookers should be able to "hook" and I want smaller Government... The one big disagreement I have with them is abortion... I just can't back that one...

I've known libertarians on both sides of the abortion issue. The pro-life ones point to that phrase in the Declaration of Independence and say that you can't have Liberty and the Purfuit of Happinefs without Life.

It would be interesting to find out if the baby killing industry could survive without government funding. I'm not sure it could. There are probably not enough rich, white girls having abortions, and all the poor black girls doing so are more or less the point.
If they had to pay for their own, out of their own pockets, there would probably be quite a few less of them. And obviously, if those same poor women who are getting pregnant now could NOT count on the government to support them, many more of them would keep their legs closed in the first place.
I think the libertarian solution to the abortion question would be much more effective than the big government/social "conservative" one that has been the Republican Party platform for decades.

Okay, here's the thing with the Democratic primary: everyone imagines they are supporting the one candidate who can save us from the abyss and feel aggrieved and belittled by the other side. I am personally a Bernie Sanders supporter, but the truth is that this is not a battle between good and evil so much as an awkward contest between two animals who evolved in entirely different ecosystems.
Hillary Clinton is like a grizzled hunter in the Amazon. Every day is a battle for survival. She has suffered every venom and poison imaginable and from her time as being the wife of a Democratic governor in a red state to being Secretary of State to the most besieged administration in modern history, she has lived her entire life in a rainforest filled with things determined to kill her. Her political survival instincts have adapted accordingly.
Bernie Sanders is like a wallaby. He hails from the benign ecosystem known as Vermont, where he lacks any natural predators. He will be the beloved senator from Vermont for as long as he cares to be. So he hops around wherever he wants, unafraid that anyone might use his words to crucify him. Propose a $15 minimum wage? Just have a friendly chat with anyone who disagrees. Call yourself a "socialist?" Sure, why not? We're all friends here. On the other side of the world, though, if Hillary Clinton channels her inner Eleanor Roosevelt, the Republicans call it a seance. Write a few State Department e-mails from your personal server? Suddenly there's a major Congressional investigation, even though nobody cared when previous Secretaries of State did exactly the same thing.
Bernie's instincts have evolved so he feels no danger in exposing his head to say what he thinks, however far afield it may be from current political reality. Hillary's instincts, on the other hand, have adapted in a harsher environment, where extreme cautiousness and distrust are rewarded.
Likewise, the two candidates' strengths and weaknesses are a direct consequence of their respective environments. Three decades of jungle warfare against Republicans has left Hillary battle-tested and well-versed in the dark arts of political campaigning. She will, I have no doubt, annihilate whoever emerges from the Republican Convention and be drinking out of their skull by November. But at the same time, this experience has made her reticent to take strong positions, to say things that could be later used against her. She tends to "evolve" rather than stand on principle. Bernie has no such qualms, and has from the very beginning taken principled stands on the Iraq War, universal health insurance, gay marriage, etc. which while controversial at the time, have since been borne out by history. He is the forward-thinking visionary that Hillary is not, but he also seems naively unprepared for the shitwave of dirty tricks and false accusations that will come his way if and when he has to run a national campaign against a Donald Trump or a Ted Cruz.
I'm not telling you who to vote for in the Democratic primary. Thanks to decades of self-selecting news coverage, extreme right wing radio, and the derangement induced by the reality that the white male vote is no longer enough to carry national elections, the GOP field has been reduced to an incoherent fever dream of xenophobia and obsolescence. Either Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders would be infinitely preferable to anyone in that mental ward. This primary is not a choice between good and evil, as some Democrats have made it out to be, but rather the choice between different types of leaders, the visionary vs the tactician, whose approach to politics has largely been forged by differences in environment rather than character.

Well, the "libertarian view" is kind of split on the issue. If you look at a fetus as a "clump of cells," then being against abortion is religiously motivated.
If you look at a fetus as a "unique human with unique DNA" who has the inalienable right to life, then you see being against abortion as being pro-liberty.

Moo, as I said (after your comment, to be fair), it comes down to how you view a fetus.
If it's a clump of cells in a womans body, then yes -- abortion on demand is a liberty view.
If it's a human life with unique DNA living inside another person -- well, then the fetus has the same right to life as any other person.

Fluffy, in ancient Rome, circa 500 BC, a child could legally be killed by its parents up to what was called the "age of reason" or around 4 years of age. Before then it was thought that the child didn't know enough to be a true human under the law.
So, we've moved in the right direction at least. I'm sure some parents would have liked this law extended to teenagers, but that's a different discussion.

Here's an article on Kermit Gosnell:
http://theatln.tc/1plpuTU
Please take a look at the picture and tell me if you think that is a clump of cells or a child. Gosnell thought it was a clump of cells and joked about killing them. It is a slippery slope and we should not have gone down it. I like to remind pro abortion folks that birth control is covered under Obamacare and can even be picked up at the supermarket (if you like the kind that also prevents STDs).

None of my arguments against abortion have anything to do with religion, and they never have. That is another red herring, that all of us pro-lifers are just parroting Scripture. It isn't true in the slightest.

That's because Ace's position is not well formed. When he actually debates the issue you see all sorts of gaps in knowledge not just of his own position but also the pro-life platform. His understanding of motivation of pro-lifers and Christians is his blind spot.
Moo, however, fully understands the arguments and yet is seemingly incapable of learning anything and openly antagonizes everyone here with it.

Oh I know it can be harsh. I see students in my class every semester, who have very difficult circumstances, they've made some poor choices, they had kids at a really young age and have to work to support themselves and their kids and so they can't devote as much attention to their studies as they should, so instead of the "college experience" they have to juggle "real-world" problems of child care and jobs and whatnot just to pass their classes. And by the way this is true for both men AND women. I try to give them the benefit of the doubt as much as I can. That makes me a "softie" I suppose, but I just think it is compassionate.

To this little "l" libertarian, you sound like an anarchist.
As a society, we still need to define when does infanticide begin. For Hillary, it's not until "it" is discharged from the hospital.
If up to me, I'd pick a 40 - 60 day "quickening" which has a scientific basis and comports with some religions.
Some insist it's at conception, and they're not wrong but this belief doesn't have broad national political support.
Because of the PP videos the Overton window on this issue can be moved on late term abortions. I'd suggest that the Pro-Life movement focus on this right now.
When Cruz's position on abortion gets more widely known, if he's the nominee it'll be a negative in the general.

I was born 2 months premature and I was 2 lbs. 8 oz when born. My twin died, I somehow managed to hang on - in the era before neo-natal intensive care units.
So, I'm a bit touchy on this subject. I spent much of the first year of my life in the hospital and needed surgeries. The same sort of people who told Lauren to get rid of her child would have longed to leave me on a table to die.
Neonatalogists who fight for the lives of those tiny babies are heroes to me.
I find it absolutely obscene that a few blocks away from the closest NICU - where those babies are struggling for the lives, other babies are being hacked to bits. The unlucky ones. The ones whose humanity is denied because their mothers don't want them. I frequently think a country so morally decayed it permits this deserves every bad thing it's got coming to it.
Lauren, hugs and prayers for you and your little one.

I will tell you this. I was relieved when I turned against abortion. Because the position you are trying to hold is like arguing how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. You are trying to figure out that one spot in time where it goes from being okay to kill to not okay. We make medical advances all the time in premature babies survival rate. If you want to continue to go that route, say that it's okay to take a morning after pill. But if that doesn't do the trick, the woman needs to look at other options.

Well in fairness, unless it is an indisputable error in fact, hardly anyone ever admits they are wrong on the Internet.
For instance, back in the day, I used to be pro-death-penalty, but it was Internet arguments which gradually changed my mind on the issue. Now I am anti. But I never admitted it to the people I argued with at the time. I just listened to what they said and changed my mind slowly over time.

Honestly, if both parents and partners were supportive of women and girls who tell them that they are pregnant, we could almost completely eliminate abortion overnight.

I know, right? The "right to control one's body" argument doesn't magically stop at the third trimester. If a pregnant woman has the right to kill an unborn child 1 week after conception, why wouldn't the pregnant woman have the right to kill an unborn child 1 week before birth? Doesn't the "right to control one's body" still apply?

I worded it too strongly. I know that there are good men who fought to save their child and had no say in the matter at all and had to live with what the woman did.
But I've just seen so many women who tell their boyfriends/husbands/"special friends" that they're pregnant only to be told "Well, you're getting rid of it right?" or "You should have an abortion" or "I will fucking make you have an abortion" and then those women are left completely broken, and often abandoned, after they follow through with the demands.

I seem to recall reading about an occasion in the 1920s when the Klan marched in South Bend, Indiana and were confronted by students from Notre Dame. The mele wound up in front of a grocery store which had baskets of potatoes in front. The students began throwing potatoes at the Klan marchers, eventually driving them from the street. The university was embarrassed by the incident because a crown of Irish throwing potatoes seemed to be too much of a stereotype.
Any way, it's not the torches and pitchforks you need to look out for but the hail of well aimed potatoes.

If she won't bite, I will. I'm pro death penalty. These are adults that
have broken the law. They have been convicted of a crime and have had
years of appeals to try and disprove the verdict. It is a question of
which is more important: the criminals life or the safety of the
citizens. I do think that we should not consider the death penalty in
cases where there is no physical proof. Many of the cases that were
overturned were based on eye witnesses that were wrong.

Another guy posted here once about the guilt he has felt for decades because he pressured his girlfriend to get an abortion. I think there are probably many, many men who feel the same.
An OB/GYN who is a friend of mine is involved in the pro-life movement. She has told me that she has had countless patients break down and sob in her office because of the guilt they feel about abortion.

The two biggest ones were:
1. I don't trust the state to know with enough certainty that any particular criminal is "guilty enough" to merit a penalty of death, after all, if the state is wrong then the aggrieved party can in principle get compensation but only if they are living
2. Many of the arguments in favor of the death penalty seemed to revolve around the idea of whether the criminal "deserved" to live - I just came to realize that whether someone "deserved" to live or not was a decision that the state ultimately had any authority to make. Sure scumbuckets do really terrible things, and whether someone "deserved" to die is a different question than whether someone ought to be legally executed.

OK. But I constantly hear how life is precious. And if life is precious, shouldn't ALL life be precious? Who are you to decide that Human 1 gets to live and Human 2 doesn't?
When I said I'm OK with abortion at say 12 weeks but not at 30 weeks, the argument against that is well about about 11.99 weeks. What is it between 11.99 and 12.0 weeks that magically changes a clump of cells into a human? OK. So using that same line of thought where is the line between killing someone and not killing someone as punishment for a crime? In both cases it's completely arbitrary.
Posted by: Monsieur Moo Moo at February 11, 2016 08:31 PM (0LHZx)
The point people seem to not comprehend about criminal sentencing is that its supposed to suck. That's the point: we punish people by punishing them. Prison is supposed to suck. Its supposed to be miserable and awful when you break the law and are punished for it. There's no reason for it to be sadistic and deliberately horrible, but its even worst to be too easy on the prisoner.
The second purpose of punishment is to take someone away from society to protect society and demonstrate that some things will not be permitted. Sometimes that message has to be permanent.
Posted by: Christopher Taylor at February 11, 2016 08:32 PM (39g3+)
If you believe there is nothing, absolutely nothing, that merits the death penalty, that is your right.
However, if there are acts by people so vile that those carrying out that act do not deserve to be in the human race, then enforce the death penalty.

The two biggest ones were:
1. I don't trust the state to know with enough certainty that any particular criminal is "guilty enough" to merit a penalty of death, after all, if the state is wrong then the aggrieved party can in principle get compensation but only if they are living
2. Many of the arguments in favor of the death penalty seemed to revolve around the idea of whether the criminal "deserved" to live - I just came to realize that whether someone "deserved" to live or not was a decision that the state ultimately had any authority to make. Sure scumbuckets do really terrible things, and whether someone "deserved" to die is a different question than whether someone ought to be legally executed.

And these are persuasive, and give a thoughtful man pause, until he considers:
1) It's not the State rendering the verdict - it's a jury. The Law is a human institution, and therefore an imperfect one, but for all that, we do not discard the validity of a given human action or decision merely on the basis of the possibility of error;
2) "Deserve" has got nothing to do with it. To execute a criminal is to remove forever the possibility of the executed person ever again making war against his fellow human beings. It is an act of self-defense, and an affirmation of the value of human life.

I tend to be OK with the death penalty (some people need killin'), but you make some good points.
Some prosecutors do tend to want to put notches in their belts in order to run for higher office. That's a real thing, and it should give all of us pause.

Again. It's all arbitrary. Do you kill a killer who killed 1 person? 2 people? 5 people? Do you kill someone who killed someone but then regrets it? How about if that person has kids? Do you kill that person knowing it will hurt kids? There are a million questions like this to consider. There is no absolute. Like deciding on a line of OK to abort, vs not OK to abort, it's arbitrary.

Recently a friend of mine who adopted two children told me her 13 year old daughter and a friend of hers who was also adopted were accosted in the cafeteria by a classmate who told them that adoption is bad, and that fetuses aren't really "life". the little bitch also told them they were worth nothing because they didn't know where they came from.
I wonder where she got that line of thinking?

I would be okay with restricting the death penalty and making it rare. My neighbor's teenage daughter was raped and murdered. We were at home and didn't notice anyone at the house when this happened. A friend of the family came by to take her four-wheeling. He took her off into the woods and raped her. Then he slit her throat so she couldn't tell. It was pretty easy to determine the killer. He is in jail because my neighbor did not want to go through a death penalty trial. And word is that the guy bragged about killing her, said it was just like slitting a deer's throat. I really do not want such people to be able to murder again.

"If your argument is a life is precious and shouldn't be killed, gotta be consistent across the board."
To be consistent across the board, once Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacey, and similar "things" did what they did, their lives became very much less precious ... existential threats, actually ... so something had to be done.
If you can find at least 1 fetus that has ever done something of their nature, then you have a legitimate argument.

But the more I thought about it the less I could find a logical argument why a fetus wasn't a child. Life is life.
But I didn't get to where I am by other people yelling at me or calling me immoral. That never works. Just like quitting smoking or losing weight, the only way it works is if the person themselves is open to the idea.
And yes, I absolutely support the death penalty for capital crimes and if you can't see the distinction between an innocent an someone who has gone through what is likely decades in our criminal justice system before they are finally put to death then I can't help you.

A prosecutor in Texas just got not nearly enough punished for ginning up evidence to false convict someone who ended up on death row. I think the prosecutor got fired and disbarred but should have been charged, IMO, with attempted murder.

Let's try again. You told me it's arbitrary to decide when a clump of cells becomes a human, therefore to err on the side of caution, no abortions should be allowed since you can't know the exact second a clump of cells becomes a human. I'm asking you why the same standard doesn't bother you with regards to capital punishment, which is also arbitrary. At what imaginary line is it OK for the state to kill a "bad" guy? How bad does he have to be?
Answer the question.

Not exactly. Whether the commission of and conviction for a crime makes one subject to the death penalty is a matter of law. A jury cannot apply the death penalty to, say, grand theft auto.

2. Many of the

Posted by: chemjeff @ Fapplebee's - PuppyMonkeyBaby '16 at February 11, 2016 08:25 PM (+4mdw)"
So both arguments are doubts about the competence of governments to administer the death penalty or make moral decision as to who it should be applied to.
That seems reasonable, although I kind of think that that level of competence is a minimum requirement for a functioning state. There is also the fact that criminal gangs, which are the most serious competition for power, do enforce the death penalty so, as a practical matter, a functioning democracy ought to be able to defend itself and its citizens against those unelected and malignant organizations.
