Jivin J’s Life Links 6-24-09

Obama has eloquently written of what he went through when abandoned by his own father, the price that he paid. Without the selfless involvement of his maternal grandparents, the young Barack Obama would never have had the advantages that made it possible for him someday to become President.
But the point of his essay in Parade–made over and over–is that fathers matter, and that they matter most of all when times are tough.
At the risk of stating the obvious, there are fewer more difficult times than when the father of the baby (often, but by no means always, not married to the mother) learns she is carrying their baby.

“It is certainly true that with her media savvy and financial support from veteran culture warriors, Lila Rose may well play an important role in the fight for — or in this case, against — women’s reproductive rights.”
Bill Berkowitz, Alternet.
I think the liberal media have lost their minds. Since when is uncovering statutory rape related to women’s reproductive rights?
Oh, and since abortion is a woman’s issue, why does this man’s opinion count? It shouldn’t if we’re playing this tit-for-tat game by pro-abort’s rules.
I’m sure Barry is glad his mother was pro life, even if he is the most anti-life president we have ever seen.
You don’t know if the President’s mother was pro life. She very well may have been pro choice. Pro choice people do have babies, you know.
Abortion is murder-always has been always will be. May God protect every child growing in the womb.
“I’m sure Barry is glad his mother was pro life”
How are you sure?

Only the ones they allow to make it past gestation, Hal.
Also, great points, Janet.
I am George Tiller by Rosie O’Donald
Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well, for example, the other day I went downtown and into a shop. I was only there for about 5 minutes, and when I came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. I said to him, ‘Come on, man, how about giving a retired person a break’? He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. I called him a ‘Nazi.’ He glared at me and wrote another ticket for having worn tires. So I called him a ‘doughnut eating Gestapo.’ He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he wrote a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more I abused him the more tickets he wrote. Personally, I didn’t care. I came downtown on the bus, and the car that he was putting the tickets on had a bumper sticker that said, ‘Obama in ’08 .’ I try to have a little fun each day now that I’m retired. It’s important to my health.

It’s just a joke I cut and pasted, but it just occurred to me that the cop chose that car to ticket because he too noticed the ‘zero’ bumper sticker.
The retiree just provoked the officer to be more creative in his citations.
I once received a ticket for ‘bad tires’. I was rude to the officer who cited me for an expired safety inspection sticker.
I guess that is why the joke caught my attention.
It had some particular relelvance to me.
If I had been the cop and some smart ass kid start giving me a rashion of ‘rude’ I would not have stopped at ‘bad tires’.
I would have found some other items that needed addressing.
We all get saved from something(s) to some ONE.
I know it is hard to tell, but I am a little better now.
