Sarah Palin Poster Girl for Pro Choice
or Poster Girl for No Choice (Pro-Life, Forced Delivery etc.)
There is an Elephant in the Room and no one is
acknowledging it.. the metaphorical beast here
represents the crux of the fundamental ethical/
moral question at the root of all this political
hysteria. To Wit:
Right wing blogs are giddy in proclaiming Sarah's
DECISION. Pro Forced-Delivery (Pro-Life, No Choice)
Bloggers are claiming her as the Poster Child for
Right to Life (Delivery or Jail) while missing the obvious.
Sarah Palin made a DECISION to have Trig the Downs
Syndrome Baby after having been informed, they
CHOSE still to have it.
Sarah Palin's daughter has now also made a DECISION
after reviewing her OPTIONS with her boyfriend.
Forced Delivery advocates show no sensitivity or concern
for the living family dealing with an incredible dynamic
surrounding an unwanted, unplanned pregnancy.
Sadly real pro-life and peace activists would normally
hold hands, but the Pro Lifers have been hijacked by
the traitor capitalist, separated from their naturally-
aligned diaspora and twisted into unwinnable, always
angry blind sycophants who don't realize who their
master really is.Attachment: ELEPHANT CHOICE.png (Downloaded 60 times)

Jim-
Once again I ask for clarification, mostly since you are using words such as "diaspora" which I have no clue as to the definition. That is most certainly is a reflection on me, not you. 
Your point is that Sarah Palin is showing through her actions that she is Pro-Choice? Is that what you are saying? It would appear that way to me, but perhaps I misunderstand.
Frank
ps -- your continued attempts to raise awareness to the issues in greatly appreciated. Too many folks sleep-walk through life, though those that are passionate about Culebra tend to be more awake.

I'll have to claim a little "poetic license"
for diaspora. It refers to cultural scatter
and dispersion, I checked the net and
it comes from the Greek "to scatter seeds"
The sense or definition was intended to
be intratextual and self revealing, I
should have used kindred spirits, but
it would have required even more
elaboration. I may have been over the
top on this one.
So when I said diaspora i was referring
to inherent virtues that are spread and
seeded throughout the family of man
and that unfettered pro-life ideology as
a pure virtue would naturally and logically
find a communal association with Peace activists,
Quakers, etc. which also are part of this virtue
diaspora, except for the fact that they have been
radicalized by the ever-watching dividing hand
of hijacking capitalists who love "wedge" issues.
So instead of finding kindred spirits
and working out issues we got
abortion clinic bombers..good grief!
It's the same with the War on
Drugs, it was too simple. don't do it,
it's against the law and you will be
severely punished (and beat up, tasered,
maybe someone in your family wiil
be accidently killed in a raid)
Now it has become a cat
and mouse game by the police.
Watch the police shows, watch as they
take young black and white males and
slam them into the ground, taser them,
kick them, punch them and then, like I
recently saw, reach into their pockets and
pull out a small bag of weed and declare
"I knew he had something on him"
Why did this happen? Because we blindly
acquiesced. The moral authority of families and
communities was relegated to a subservient
position. We could not nix or veto the
State as its power increased. We had been
placed in what I call mind-lock. How
dare you suggest any solution to the problem
other than fu;ll out war and punishment.
Wishes, fears, hopes and dreams meant
nothing, only the will of the state.
How about empowering parents and
relatives instead. There comes a time in
an addicts life, before they hit the streets
into hardcore behaviour, when a family
has had enough, and they realize they need
help for the afflicted. One phone call and the
boys in white come in, an intervention
ensues (at the direction, blessing and
cooperation of the family) and Johnny goes
bye bye for his treatment.
Most importantly the moral authority
of families and communities remain intact
and the consequences of drug addiction like
derilection, spousal abuse, theft, and
the actual loss of a life is put into proper
perspective and those things now become
paramount . Moreover, we, (meaning us, our
family, our community) do not tolerate
drug addiction that robs a person of his/her
identity and life.
By the way, have you noticed that
tasering is acceptable now! Oh yes,
even the pretty news anchors declare
"it only lasts a few minutes" its as if
it just paralyzes you....No it is in fact
electrical torture, it really hurts and yet
police who have a man on the ground
with other officers to assist and haven't
quite got the cuffs on and their is no
chance of escape...are too quick to
taser. Has everyone forgot the original
debate. The premise was this would
be used in instead of deadly force. Now
young cops use it when they don't want
to get their shirt wrinkled.

Oh my Oh my! that Sarah Palin, she was so
compelling, hockey mom, executive experience,
very likeable, gutsy, humorous, poster child for
Right to Life/Pro Lifers (an important base in
the Repub minions) so much of a poster child
because she was famous for advocating
abstinence-above-else. So fundamental
in her selection by McCain, and so its more than
strange that she didn't mention:
Pro Life
Abstinence
Supreme Court Appointments
Church and State
Her own Religous Values
or anything else of substance.
and now we know why...the elephant in the room
CHOICE
and now ABSTINENCE because of her daughters
untimely unplanned and unwedded pregnancy.
How did the repubs handle this blinking pachyderm,
they innoculated her by planting an idiotic attack
on the Daily Kos blog, which was summarily taken down
as spam.
But the Repubs took the Thought and the Thought
became the Word and the......
you can see where I'm going with this, yes within
six hours they created a phony "scandalous attack
on this woman and her family" the press was
intimidated as usual and today it's Sarah against
Obama. In addition they attacked the liberal press
liberally and so far the brilliant coup worked.
Remember what they did to Kerry, honorable in every
possible way, blueblood, noblesse oblige, war veteran,
peace activists, popular long-tenured Senator.
There was no respect, swift boat attacks (ad nauseum
exposition by the press) and in the end the lowest
insensitive ridicule by neocon stooges like Limbaugh
and O'Reilly
This is not going to be pretty, soon the dems will
start doubting Obama, "why didn't he pick Hillary,
dammit", "Sarah does have more executive experience
than him" just like dems weakend and caved in under
Carter because of the debacle due to the never-ending
saga of the hostages, only later to find out that the
Reagan reps William Casey and soon to be VP George
had quashed a release deal by Carter.
The sitting President and the Iranians had a deal but the
repubs secretly outbid the U.S. president! They promised
to sell the Iranians more weapons if they held the
hostages till election day. January 1981, Reagan's hand
went up, the oath ensued, and within ten minutes the
hostages were released, 2-3 months later Israel secretly
started shipping Jet Fighters to Iran with rockets and
missiles soon to follow. Treason? Of Course!
Add Black ops to all of this and you know why the Dems
and some Repubs are whimps.
This is not going to be pretty!
