Left-wing slime machine update

I see that the left is starting their play for the ignorant middle. McCain is crazy and violent. His wife is secretative about her finances. It seems kind of weak to me. Certainly not as bad as being a commie islamist.

The Ignorant Middle

I just invented a brilliant new catchphrase. I'm so proud.
These are the people who decide elections in the USofA. The people who don't read, and only watch TV or think about politics in a very short period of time leading up to elections. They don't vote in primaries. They call themselves 'independent' and pundits often call them 'swing voters'. The lying slime machines favored by the US right wing works very well on these people. Just another little pitfall of democracy I suppose. Even idiots have the right to vote no matter how wrong their views.
My prediction: this will work in the upcoming presidential election. President McCain, true american patriot. Barack Obama, muslim-sounding name and communist sympathies. Who will the ignorant middle pick?

poiliticalization of personal pain

Moral, religious and righteous indignation are the rhetorical tools of both the left and right. Today abortion and gay rights come to mind most often when I think of this societal evil. Agendas and morality get in the way of individual psychological therapy and cause additional pain to people who need help.

Abortion counsellors push their pro-life or leftie feminism on the people they are helping. People who are in pain and facing life and death decisions are pushed to the decision that suits the organization running the counselling service. After the abortion, attempts at psychological healing are similarly run by organizations with a agenda. Unfortunately, helping the patient is secondary to the agenda of the caregiver. This pisses me off. Organizations generally suck, and they especially suck when empathy and compassion are needed. Organizations cannot do this. Only people can.

Hard core PRO CHOICE

Forever. That's what I am about today.
There's just no goddamn reason in the world why some self-righteous God lover should EVER take that option out of a woman's hand. Especially when said self-righteous God lover has testicles. She with the uterus is in charge of the contents therein. If there is a Creator, He created us that way. If God were like these men he would surely stick his pointy self in the middle of her business. If God were a woman she would surely leave it up to her sister to decide, as she is a compassionate being. If God were both man and woman, it would be a very confused thing.

I think (and being me, I am the most righteous me I know) that no human being truly knows God. Therefore, the laws and moral preachers should defer to the person that reproduction affects most directly: the person who has the uterus.
