Oh, here goes the Media again....

I'm am so proud of the VT students. They are fed up with the unmerciful media and they are doing something about it.

Good for them!

I really get tired of the media's bias. Whether it's to the left or right, it gets old. I thought editorials were disigned to allow the press to express there opinions in, not while reporting the story.

But them most annoying part of the media is the sensationalism of what they report. They don't care what's going on, they want to stick a camera in a greiving mothers faces and ask some stupid question like, "How does it feel to loose a child?"

I had a good example of the media's sensationalism of a story, and now I can't find the link, but it's a video of a news reporter, sitting in a little wooden boat, talking about how horrible this flood is, all the while there is a guy right behind her walking around in some knee high waders with the water only up to his ankles.

Perfect example, but of course I can't find it in my thousands of emails I keep. I'll keep looking for it, but fee free to post it or a link to it if you have it.

The Supreme Court chooses life

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 21:39:09 GMT

The United States Supreme Court today upheld the ban on Partial Birth Abortions. Good for them!

I'm amazed how such a barbaric procedure is still in use today, and even more amazed that anyone would be in favor of such a procedure.

What cracks me up is that if a mother that is pregnant is murdered

, the person that killed her can be charged with two counts of murder, yet a mother can voluntarily go abort their baby without any criminal charges being filed. Especially in Late Term Abortions. Scott Peterson is a good example of this. He was convicted for the murders of his wife Laci and their unborn child.

According to Wikipedia a Partial Birth Abortion is defined as:

“

An abortion in which the person performing the abortion, deliberately and intentionally vaginally delivers a living fetus until, in the case of a head-first presentation, the entire fetal head is outside the body of the mother, or, in the case of breech presentation, any part of the fetal trunk past the navel is outside the body of the mother, for the purpose of performing an overt act that the person knows will kill the partially delivered living fetus; and performs the overt act, other than completion of delivery, that kills the partially delivered living fetus.

”

If the fetus is able to live, why would you want to kill it? Their are people alive, today, that were born prematurely at 24 weeks of gestation, that are perfectly normal functioning members of society. Like this kid. This kid was born in 1993, and the technology has progressed in the last 14 years to where I'm sure they can help premature babies that are born even younger.

What really bothers me about this whole topic is the fact that their are hundreds, if not thousands of wonderful loving married couples out there that would jump at the chance to adopt these kids, if they had a chance to.

War in Iraq

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 17:12:00 GMT

I am getting so tired of hearing about how or why we shouldn't be in the war in Iraq. WMD, this, President Bush that, blah, blah, blah.

I think what it really comes down to is this: Is the world a better, safer place with Saddam Hussein gone?

Here's a guy that killed thousands of innocent people out of cold blood, not to mention all the teranical acts that he ordered or that he allowed while in power.

I really think that just to remove Saddam from power, it has all been, and will be worth it. I just can't understand why Most of the democrats and now even some of the republicans would want to pull funding for such a worthy cause. Our military is over there trying to provide the Iraqi people with an opportunity to become a free country, yet our friends in congress are trying to chop them off at the knee's. NICE! With Senators and Congressmen like that, who needs enemies.

So, what do you think? Is the world a better, safer place with Saddam Hussein gone?
