Now I Remember

...why I don't read a lot of governmental and politically correct sites about disability. I overdose on the antonyms and euphemisms and the bullshit. George Carlin called it soft language so I looked and found the bit that popped into my head more than once today.

"I don’t like words that hide the truth. I don’t like words that conceal reality. I don’t like euphemisms, or euphemistic language. And American English is loaded with euphemisms. Cause Americans have a lot of trouble dealing with reality. Americans have trouble facing the truth, so they invent the kind of a soft language to protect themselves from it, and it gets worse with every generation. For some reason, it just keeps getting worse".

Ahhhhh...You Tube rarely fails to provide.

Anti-Choice Nitwits

He's so right...

And they haven't done anything to decrease abortion rates with all their screeching, name-calling and ugliness. It's been us Pro-Choice folks who believe in EDUCATING girls and women about their CHOICES and reproductive freedom that has actually made a dent reducing the need for abortion and pointed a light on raising healthy families, instead of using infants and children as "consequences" for "sinful behavior".

Quote: "We disagree with you. You want to criminalize women and their doctors and we disagree. I reduced abortion. Tell the truth! Tell the truth! If you were really pro-life, if you were really pro-life, you would want to put every doctor and every mother, as an accessory to murder, in prison, and you won't say you wanna do that, because you know that you wouldn't have a lick of political support. Now, the issue is, you can't name me anybody presently in politics that did more to introduce policies that reduce the number of real abortions, instead of the hot air putting out to tear people up and make votes by dividing America. This is not your rally." - Bill Clinton
