Anti-Choice?

"Do you then, you excellent and most admirable parents, read this law and hide your faces, you who are continually plotting the deaths of your children, you who entertain cruel designs against your offspring, so as to expose them the moment that they are born, you unreconcilable enemies of the whole race of mankind; for who is there to whom you ever entertain good will, when you are the murderers of your own children? You who as far as it lies in your power, make cities desolate, beginning with the destruction of your nearest relations; you who overturn all the laws of nature, and pull down all that she builds up; you who are savage and untamable in the barbarity of your souls, raising up destruction against birth, and death against life."

Illumination, Not Illuminati

"But the wise and virtuous man is not only a blessing to himself, but he is also a common good to all men, diffusing advantages over all from his own ready store. For as the sun is the light of all those beings who have eyes, so also is the wise man light to all those who partake of a rational nature."

I Heart Huckabee

Rush Limbaugh, whose program ceased to be funny around 2000, has apparently decided to attack Mike Huckabee for the sin of having a campaign worker who called El Rushbo an "entertainer." Heaven forbid someone inject reality into the Republican party! If Rush isn't an entertainer, what is he? Is he a journalist? No. Is he a deep thinker? No. Rush Limbaugh is someone who thinks he can define "conservative" positions, much like Ann Coulter. We're supposed to forget that Limbaugh supported the attempt by the United Arab Emirates to take over port operations. We're supposed to forget that he compares hanging up on callers to the very real evil of abortion. We're supposed to forgive Rush for regularly invoking God as the source of his "talent". Just like Madame Disraeli, Limbaugh seems to think he can tell Republicans what they can and can't support.
