China low Baby Girl birth #'s=Problems!

The New England Journal of Medicine delves into the consequences of a China's 1 child per family birth policy after 25 years.  The picture is UGLY!

  • What happens to all the missing girls is a matter of speculation. Sex-selective abortion after ultrasonography undoubtedly accounts for a large proportion of the decline in female births.20,21 Actual figures are impossible to obtain, because sex-selective abortion is illegal but is known to be widely carried out, helped by a burgeoning private sector. Nonregistration of female births also contributes to the sex-ratio gap.14,15 A 1995 household survey carried out in three provinces found a normal sex ratio in the under-14 age group, with the actual number of girls exceeding the number registered by 22 percent.22 Although infanticide of girls is probably very rare now, less aggressive treatment of sick female infants is known to occur.23
  • The Chinese government has acknowledged the potentially disastrous social consequences of this sex imbalance. The shortage of women may have increased mental health problems and socially disruptive behavior among men and has left some men unable to marry and have a family.24 The scarcity of females has resulted in kidnapping and trafficking of women for marriage and increased numbers of commercial sex workers, with a potential resultant rise in human immunodeficiency virus infection and other sexually transmitted diseases.25 There are fears that these consequences could be a real threat to China's stability in the future.26

John McLame & Narnia like Winter in America!

McCain makes me cringe and doesn't know how to go for the jugular.  He doesn't even know enough about Ayers and Acorn to bloody up 0bama.  McCain is so used to be nice to Liberals it is as if has been declawed.  0bama's handling of McCain's weakly worded counterpunches has taken Ayers off the table for the 27 million Voters who watch MSM.  McCain's offensive against 0bama's murderous actions against babies who have survived  botched abortions while a State Senator in Illinois was also lame as 0bama skirted McCain's attack claiming he voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act bill because it did not have provisions for the heath of the mother!  Under what circumstances is a mother's life saved by letting a term or near term baby be born just to turn around and let it die?  The baby has survived birth in spite of attempts to kill it....Senator McCain is McLame as he does not used combination punches against a vasiline coated 0bama who slips McLames punches.   

Turns out McCain is only nasty to Conservatives like during the Immigration debate.  McCain was awful, sounded lame.  Only a Miracle will save the Republic from the Senator McLame, Senator 0h-no-mamas, the MSM 0bama-mania and confessions of Obama adoration to its ~27million audience and from itself.  What will America be like under a President 0bama?.....

  1. Eventually State mandated 1 to 2 children famlies after which women will get their fallopian tubes tied or uteruses removed. 
  2. If a family has more that its state allowed Babies the will be killed like the are in China.  
  3. We will start riding bicycles everywhere and cars will be available to the ruling class only. 
  4. Re-distribution of wealth on a massive scale with collective farming type industry. 
  5. Indoctrination of Marxist Ideology in all schools.
  6. United Nations "Globle Test" foreign policy.
  7. Failed Healthcare System like in Canada and England.   
  8. TASS(Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union) and Pravda propaganda like State Journalism.
Like in Narnia a frozen Winter will befall America but not one preciptated by the White Witch but by a Marxist-Socialist-Communist-Antilife 0bama/Axelrod group think which a falacious Global Warming will not melt.....If McCain loses this election it will because he was so LAME and did not take it to 0bama when he let his guard down. Only a Miracle will save the Republic now!

President 0bama EXPOSED by Gateway Pundit

Hats off to Gateway Pundit who is a Blogging Sharp Shooter and has so much info exposing the real Barack H. 0bama.  I fear for America so much!  McCain is running such a feckless, anemic campaign further taxed by current events like the Credit market collaspe & the Wall Street tsunami.  Please go to Gateway Pundit who details 0bama's  asscociations with the  Democratic Socialists of America, ACORN, William Ayers, Sharia Law Advocate Riala Odinga(fellow Luo Tribesmen & current Prime Minister of Kenya for whom 0bama campaigned for).  
New Media will be limited to the Internet with a Chairman 0bama.  Teflon 0bama with all the same Moderators of Presidential Debates controlling the dialogue are snuffing out the voice of the GOP.  I think McCain should talk about what America would look like if 0bama wins.  It'll be the United States of Socialism the US of KKKA Kommunism, Kool Aid drinking Supreme Court  and Kafka-esque nightmarish America!
Gateway Pundit has it all and is simply the best blogger out there on a President-to be Elected 0bama

Ayers=0bama's Ghost WRITER 4 Dreams?

At the American Thinker, investigative reporter Jack Cashell(more analysis) has proposed a theory that English Professor and Domestic Weathermen Underground Terrorist William Ayers served as a Ghost writer for long time associate and fellow socialist Barack 0bama's first book "Dreams from My Father".  Cashell has performed a literary post-mortem on 0bama's book and has written a fascinating exegesis.  Yet one more intimate association with this unrepentent radical who got away with bombing the Pentagon and Capital building among other acts of terrorism!
 
I bought Bill Ayers' 2001 memoir, Fugitive Days, for reasons unrelated to this project.  As I discovered, he writes surprisingly well and very much like "Obama."  In fact, my first thought was that the two may have shared the same ghostwriter.  Unlike Dreams, however, where the high style is intermittent, Fugitive Days is infused with the authorial voice in every sentence. What is more, when Ayers speaks, even off the cuff, he uses a cadence and vocabulary consistent with his memoir.  One does not hear any of Dreams in Obama's casual speech.
Obama's memoir was published in June 1995.  Earlier that year, Ayers helped Obama, then a junior lawyer at a minor law firm, get appointed chairman of the multi-million dollar Chicago Annenberg Challenge grant.  In the fall of that same year, 1995, Ayers and his wife, Weatherwoman Bernardine Dohrn, helped blaze Obama's path to political power with a fundraiser in their Chicago home.

In short, Ayers had the means, the motive, the time, the place and the literary ability to jumpstart Obama's career. And, as Ayers had to know, a lovely memoir under Obama's belt made for a much better resume than an unfulfilled contract over his head.

For simplicity sake, I will refer to the author of Dreams as "Obama."  Without question, he contributed much of the book's raw material, especially the long-winded accounting of events and conversations, polished just well enough to pass muster.  The book's fierce, succinct and tightly coiled social analysis more closely matches the style of Fugitive Days, a much tighter book.
Ayers and Obama have a good deal in common. In the way of background, both grew up in comfortable white households and have struggled to find an identity as righteous black men ever since.  Just as Obama resisted "the pure and heady breeze of privilege" to which he was exposed as a child, Ayers too resisted "white skin privilege" or at least tried to.

"I also thought I was black," says Ayers only half-jokingly. As proof of his righteousness, Ayers named his first son "Malik" after the newly Islamic Malcolm X and the second son "Zayd" after Zayd Shakur, a Black Panther killed in a shootout that claimed the life of a New Jersey State Trooper. 

Tellingly, Ayers, like Obama, began his career as a self-described "community organizer," Ayers in inner-city Cleveland, Obama in inner-city Chicago. In short, Ayers was fully capable of crawling inside Obama's head and relating in superior prose what the Dreams' author calls a "rage at the white world [that] needed no object."

Indeed, in Dreams, it is on the subject of black rage that Obama writes most eloquently.   Phrases like "full of inarticulate resentments," "unruly maleness," "unadorned insistence on respect" and "withdrawal into a smaller and smaller coil of rage" lace the book.

In Fugitive Days, "rage" rules and in high style as well.  Ayers tells of how his "rage got started" and how it evolved into an "uncontrollable rage -- fierce frenzy of fire and lava." Indeed, the Weathermen's inaugural act of mass violence was the "Days of Rage" in 1969 Chicago.

Vote Yes to CA. Prop 4! Abortion=Surgery!

Vote YES on California Proposition 4 because an ABORTION is Surgery!  As a Physician I can not give a Child a Tylenol or an Aspirin without Notifying the Parents.  Prop 4 will force Abortionist M.D.'s to tell the parents what they are about to do to their daughter and Grandchild!   Legislators who think otherwise are insane and hypocrits too!

Truth about Prop 4. Abortion=D&C Its SURGERY!

Hugh Hewitt discussed California Proposition 4 today. The truth is that these Legislators you do not want parents to kown that their daughter is killing their grandchild are NUTS.  An a Abortion is SURGERY! It is called Dilatation and Curettage.  Vote YES on Proposition 4 which notifies parents what their child's Doctor is about to do to them! 

D & C

What & why!!

What

    Just what is a D & C? D & C are initials that stand for "Dilatation & Curettage". On occasion, this has been said to stand for "Dusting & Cleaning" which isn’t really all that bad a description.

    According to my Webster’s unabridged, dilatation is "in medicine, enlargement of an organ cavity, duct, or opening of the body, beyond normal size". Curettage is the process of scraping and cleansing with a spoon shaped surgical instrument for removing tissues from the walls of body cavities.

    In this case, we are dilating the cervical os or "opening of the uterus". Once the cervix is dilated, we then use the curette (spoon shaped instrument) to scrape the wall of the uterus and remove some of the endometrium or lining of the uterus.  More commonly, one uses a set of "dilators". These are usually a set of rods of varying sizes. One starts with a small one and introduces it through the cervix. Then you just keep inserting the next larger size until you have slowly increased the opening to the desired size.

     

    If one is performing an abortion or completing a miscarriage, a long plastic tube with a hole on the side near the end is inserted into the cavity. The outer end is attached to suction and the contents of the uterus are aspirated.

Why

     

     

     

     

     

    The reasons for a D & C, have diminished greatly over the last 30 years. When I was a resident D & C was the most common surgical procedure. Now it is a very rare procedure except as related to pregnancy. The most common reasons for D & C today are to perform an abortion or to complete an incomplete spontaneous abortion. (In medical terms a miscarriage is a spontaneous abortion.) Most of these procedures are performed in the office or emergency room using either sedation or local anesthesia

Palin Hacker an "ObamacRat" Indicted!

The son of a Democratic Tennessee state lawmaker pleaded not guilty Wednesday to hacking the e-mail account of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

David Kernell, 20, of Knoxville, Tenn. entered the plea in federal court in Knoxville, the same day prosecutors unsealed an indictment charging him with intentionally accessing Palin's e-mail account without authorization.

Kernell, an economics student at the University of Tennessee, was brought into court wearing handcuffs and shackles on his ankles.

He was released without posting bond, but the court forbade him from owning a computer and limited his Internet use to checking e-mail and doing class work.

Kernell's father is longtime state Rep. Mike Kernell of Memphis, chairman of Tennessee's House Government Operations Committee. The lawmaker has said he had nothing to do with the hacking incident.

David Kernell was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury in Knoxville and faces a maximum of five years in prison, a $250,000 fine and three years of supervised release. Trial is set for Dec. 16.

NY Bishops Life Trumps all Issues 4 ELECTION!

This is no joke the day before the debate Cardinal Egan and the New York State Catholic Conference released this statement yesterday. (see Life News)

Our Cherished Right, Our Solemn Duty

"We Catholics are called to look at politics as we are called to look at everything – through the lens of our faith," 

  • It is the rare candidate who will agree with the Church on every issue. But as the U.S. Bishops’ recent document Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship  makes clear, not every issue is of equal moral gravity.
  • The inalienable right to life of every innocent human person outweighs other concerns where Catholics may use prudential judgment, such as how best to meet the needs of the poor or to increase access to health care for all.
  • The right to life is the right through which all others flow. To the extent candidates reject this fundamental right by supporting an objective evil, such as legal abortion, euthanasia or embryonic stem cell research, Catholics should consider them less acceptable for public office. As Faithful Citizenship teaches, “Those who knowingly, willingly, and directly support public policies or legislation that undermine fundamental moral principles cooperate with evil.”
  • The very first "important questions for political candidates" posed by the NY bishops:
    • Do you agree with the need to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade, which struck down all state laws criminalizing abortion and established a woman’s “right” to abort her unborn child in the womb?
    • Do you oppose the state’s “Reproductive Health & Privacy Protection Act” or the federal “Freedom of Choice Act” which both go beyond Roe v. Wade, guaranteeing a fundamental right to abortion with no restrictions or regulations? Hat Tip American Papist


There is somewhere between 70 and 80 million Catholics in America.  If McCain/Palin gets the Majority of the Catholic vote that will nullify the African American 0bama Vote with a population of ~33million.  This is good Strategy by the Catholic Church which is somewhat hamstung by their IRS Non-Profit status so please get the word out.

American Bishop Democrats="Party of Death"

Raymond L. Burke is the former Archbishop of St. Louis were the VP Debate was held and now the prefect of the Vatican's highest Court said the American Democratic Party is coming dangerously close to becoming the "party of death" because of its unlimited support for abortion! Because the Democrat party has renewed its pro-abortion views in its platform in August, and wants taxpayers to fund abortions, the former Archbisop stated the party "At this point the Democratic Party risks transforming itself definitely into a 'party of death' because of its choices on bioethical questions.  This echos Ramesh Ponnuru who wrote in his book, "The Party of Death: The Democrats, the Media, the Courts and the Disregard for Human Life."

From Life News
Burke said the new Democratic Party isn't the same as the one supported by generations past.
  • He told the paper it was once "the party that helped our immigrant parents and grandparents better integrate and prosper in American society. But it is not the same anymore.
  • Burke also lamented that pro-life Democratic leaders are "rare, unfortunately."
  • Burke talked with the newspaper about the abortion-communion debate within the Catholic Church and said he wasn't an isolated position.
  • "It was shared by Archbishop Charles J. Chaput of Denver, by Bishop Peter J. Jugis of Charlotte and by others," he said.
  • "But it is true that the bishops' conference has not taken this position, leaving each bishop free to act as he believes best.
  • "For my part, I always have maintained that there must be a united position in order to demonstrate the unity of the church in facing this serious question,"
  • Burke said other Catholic leaders are coming to the position that pro-abortion Catholic politicians shouldn't receive communion and noted that the presence of Joe Biden on Barack Obama's ticket has contributed to that sentiment.
  • The Democratic platform backs unlimited abortions paid for at taxpayer expense but also tries to moderate the party's image with support for childbirth and birth control.

  • The proposed platform does just that, by promoting unqualified support for abortion and the Roe v. Wade case that ushered in 50 million abortions.
  • It also includes a short phrase about a woman's ability to pay for an abortion -- meant to tout support for making taxpayers fund abortions.
  • "The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman's right to choose a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay, and we oppose any and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right," the proposal says.
  • The final aspect of the language hearkens to Obama's pledge to Planned Parenthood in a July 2007 speech saying his first action as president would be signing the so-called Freedom of Choice Act.
    • This Congressional bill would overturn every abortion limit nationwide from a ban on partial-birth abortions to parental notification laws.

Pics of Party...Palin's Rocks...0bama's BUST

Palin the comeback lady fires up Conservatives again Gateway Pundit(Rush has plugged him twice in the last week) currently is the go to Blogger on the Internets was there and has great Pictures of Deer-in-the -headlights 0bama zombie reporters and the enthusiatic conservative crowds.  It looks like a NBA final sized event!

(Vanessa Photo)
The crowd was loving it.

This is a view from the Palin rally.

(Vanessa Photo)
There were 10,000 people there and they were FIRED UP!
Clearly there was a BIG winner in this debate.
The liberal media may disagree but there was not doubt to the people in the Chaifetz Arena!

(Vanessa photo)
The crowd at the Chaifetz Arena ROARED when the Palin Family came riding in through the door on the "Straight Talk Express".

It was NOT the sound of a crowd meeting a second place team!

Here's another clue...

The media looked like they wanted to cry. Stunned silence. Disappointed.
 

Here's another clue...

The Obama Campaign headquarters near campus was dead.
There was no celebrating going on there. Not tonight.

Palin Rally enough?....No I think NOT!

I agree with Charles Krauthammer statements on Brit Hume's show tonight.  Palin is anything but a Policy Wonk.  Which I could care less about but I guess is a club the MSM will use against her.  Charles K. indicated Palin's answers were somewhat rote on obtuse issues like the Palestinian-Israeli solution. Guess this asymmetry is precisely the reason there is no solution! 

I wish she would have said that this issue is so difficult that Even Bill Clinton and 0bama who btw is no Bill Clinton could not get Arafat to take a sweetheart deal offered at Camp David.  How is an 0bama and Biden(a former Clinton Crony) going to get Palestine to deliver when they want to exterminate Israel especially if Bill could not. Again 0bama is no Clinton!  

 I agree with Hume and Krauthammer that McCain and Palin are letting 0bama have the upper hand on the Fannie Mae "Regulation Issue" and it is inexplicable to them given the history of McCain's asking for oversight on this looming problem. I think it has to do with the Keating 5 controversy.  Too bad McCain won't jujitsu them with this as the economy is the very reason McCain's poll numbers have dipped. Go figure? 

 I think the Governor was charming, natural, at ease, confident and fiesty.  I think she had some Reagan-esque one liners and that was refreshing.  I also think she was somewhat repetitive and superficial with too many soundbites and not enough meat.  However her accomplishments to date taken together with this performance indicates that she certainly has potential to grow and will be a force to reckon with in the future. 

 McCain better set the record straight on the Fannie Mae mess and the havoc it has reaped on the economy because Americans are furious about this including me.  I for think McCain should forget this Mr. Nice Guy routine with 0bama and educate America about Raines, Gorelick, Johnson, Franks and his Fannie Mae Spouse, Dodd and his own efforts and those of conservatives who tried to bridle Fannie Mae.  McCain should own this issue and not let 0bama hijack it when his party and his ACORN activity prior to his Political Career have created this mess.  Furthermore the Government is now taking on these deadbeat mortgage holders and in 10 years we'll be back to this ground zero.  I am so upset about this as is everyone else and by setting the record straight he could harness this anger as a fuel to help him win the oval.   

That's all...I been quiet lately as my head has been in a spin over McCain and Palin's flatfootedness and do not counterpunch strategy on this issue.  

Cheers,  Doc

Fannie Mae bust 101 by Rusty Humphries..SUPERB!

Instead of giving a $700 billion bailout money to the banks holding mortgages, divide the bailout money between all the homeowners that have a mortgage. That would give about $75,000 to each homeowner to pay on their mortgage(see Wizbang). I vote for the American People instead of the GOLDEN Parachutes Wall Streeters get!  Why would the American people trust the Same People who were stupid enough or knaving enough to create this economic disaster in the first place?  This crime makes Saddam's Oil 4 Food scam of $65 billion dollars seem like a dime store heist.

Rusty Humphreies has put together a comprehensive date line of the How DemocRats have demolished the Home Mortgage Market whose collaspe is like an imploding star causing a black hole sucking the entire economy down the drain.  Why these DemocRats like Franks, Dodd, Kerry, Raines, Gorelick, Johnson and Mudd aren't under the microscope is because the MSM is complicit! 
Here is how the DemocRats tanked FANNIE Mae as explained very well by Talker Rusty Humphries:

What I am sending you is one of the most
important links to a video I have ever seen.  Make no mistake:  The
United States media is involved in one of the most outrageous
cover-ups in history.

Democrats in Congress are DIRECTLY responsible for the current
financial crisis in this country.  The home mortgage meltdown has
occurred largely due to the criminal mismanagement of Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac.  And what we now know is that mismanagement of these two
mega-government sponsored holders of most of America's home
mortgages  took place due to  laws passed by the Carter and Clinton
administrations.   Republicans like President Bush and Senator McCain
tried to stop this mismanagement and corruption, but were stopped by
Democrats in Congress.  Here's the link:

http://www.talk2rusty.com/notes.html

It is despicable.  But what is worse is the American news media has
held back this story from you.  This is the equivalent of
The
Washington Post
refusing to publish the Watergate break-in and cover-up.

Here is the link again.  Send this email to everyone you know:

http://www.talk2rusty.com/notes.html

In my opinion, there is nothing you can do that is more important
than to get this information out to others who care about our
future.  The facts are not widely known, but we can change
that.   Send this link to everyone on your e-mail list and ask them
to do the same.  We are at a crossroads in our nation's
history.   Democrats and their media partners in crime are fixated on
socialism as a cure to every problem we face.  Don't let this
stand.  Our public servants must not be allowed to be our masters.

Thank you for listening to the show, but more important, thank you
for your concern about our country's future.

Ignorance isn't bliss.  It leads to Hell on Earth.  Forward this link
and let's defeat those who are willing to lie their way into
power.   We must hold our corrupt elected officials accountable.

This cannot stand.

Thank you for your support and your fight for the future of our great nation.
 
Rusty Humphries

Bailout Bust due to ACORN 0bama Wall!

We've heard of the Gorelick Wall built by Bill Clinton's Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick which 
forbid intelligence agents from communicating with their FBI and criminal counterparts and resulted in 911!
Republicans have walked away from the Wall Street Investment Banking failure caused mostly by Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac house of cards because ACORN gets off scott free from any prosecution for Election Fraud and any profits the US Government might make would be directed to ACORN!  Senator Graham and Senator Shelby let this Cat out of the bag.  Guess who 0bama was a comunnity organizer for?.....ACORN(see 0bama's Closet)!  ACORN is eight under investigation or prosecution in many states.  See the American Thinker for the trouble ACORN has foro Voter Fraud in Ohio where Democrat Votes kept popping up during the 2004 Presidential Election.  Jamie Gorelick also worked for Fannie Mae making some 25 million dollars in compensation and along with Franklin Raines, James Johnson, and other Democrat appointments thus responsible for a this Wall which prevented regulation from happening!

Barney Frank's X-Lover a Fannie Mae Executive

UNBELIVABLE! One of Fannie Mae’s main defenders in the House – Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., a recipient of more than $40,000 in campaign donations from Fannie since 1989 – was once romantically involved with a Fannie Mae executive.
Prominent Democrats ran Fannie Mae, the same government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) that donated campaign cash to top Democrats.

 The media coverage of Frank’s coziness with Fannie Mae and his pro-Fannie Mae stances has been lacking. Of the eight appearances Frank made on the three broadcasts networks between Jan. 1, 2008, and Sept. 21, 2008, none of his comments dealt with the potential conflicts of interest. Only six of the appearances dealt with the economy in general and two of those appearances, including an April 6, 2008 appearance on CBS’s “60 Minutes” were about his opposition to a manned mission to Mars.

Frank has argued that family life “should be fair game for campaign discussion,” wrote the Associated Press on Sept. 2. The comment was in reference to GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and her pregnant daughter. “They’re the ones that made an issue of her family,” the Massachusetts Democrat said to the AP.
