Be nice when someone Spitz on you

by

What is up with the feminist baby eaters? Why are they so cranky? Must be “that” time of the month.

Let me try and explain it in small easily digestible pieces. This isn’t about making friends, or appealing to those who are fucking clueless about lifes realities. This is about fighting against a belief that things were better when men were men, sheep were nervous and women had no control over the number of babies they had and were denied abortions even to save their lives.

This is about dealing with those who post comments in support of women dying and doctors being killed on ones blog. I usually just delete them. But maybe it’s time we let the sunshine under the rocks so the gatekeepers of civility can grab a fucking clue. [Read more…] about Be nice when someone Spitz on you

Get the thing done and let them howl

by

Civil, nice, polite what are the meanings behind these terms? According to an online dictionary;

consideration for others and the adherence to conventional social standards of good behavior

Good behaviour and conventional social standards. So in other words when Sir Rodmond Roblin stated, ‘”nice” women weren’t interested in voting’ McClung should have recognized that she wasn’t bringing the middle ground to her side and should have gone home and baked a pie.

Perhaps we should be nice like the anti choice side

is this nice?


What about these lovely acts of “pro-life”?

* August 19, 1993: Dr. George Tiller was shot outside of an abortion facility in Wichita, Kansas. Shelley Shannon was charged with the crime and received an 11-year prison sentence.
* June 29, 1994: June Barret was shot in the same attack which claimed the lives of James Barrett, her husband, and Dr. John Britton.
* December 30, 1994: Five individuals were wounded in the same-day shootings which killed Shannon Lowney and Lee Ann Nichols.
* December 18, 1996: Dr. Calvin Jackson of New Orleans, Louisiana was stabbed 15 times, losing 4 pints of blood. Donald Cooper was charged with second-degree attempted murder and sentenced to 20 years.[11]
* October 28, 1997: A physician whose name has not been revealed was shot in his home in Rochester, New York.
* January 29, 1998: Emily Lyons, a nurse, was severely injured in the bombing which also killed Robert Sanderson.
* September 11, 2006 David McMenemy attempted a suicide bombing of a women’s clinic in Davenport, Iowa after scouting targets throughout the Midwest. It was later revealed that the targeted clinic did not perform or make referrals for abortions.

In fact according to the above from Wiki CSIS “defined anti-abortion violence as “single issue terrorism””

What about calls of murders, child killers, sinners, culture of death?

Those of us who see the damage done when women have their choices removed are far more interested in protection of reproductive liberty, than the wishy washy support of those who can’t bring themselves to fully support women’s rights.

As Nellie McClung intoned;

“Never retreat, never explain, never apologize. Get the thing done and let them howl.”

Microsoft willing to pay for Wikipedia edits

by

(AP) — Microsoft Corp. has landed in the Wikipedia doghouse after it offered to pay a blogger to change technical articles on the community-produced Web encyclopedia site.

While Wikipedia is known as the encyclopedia that anyone can tweak, founder Jimmy Wales and his cadre of volunteer editors, writers and moderators have blocked public-relations firms, campaign workers and anyone else perceived as having a conflict of interest from posting fluff or slanting entries. So paying for Wikipedia copy is considered a definite no-no.

“We were very disappointed to hear that Microsoft was taking that approach,” Wales said Tuesday.

Microsoft acknowledged it had approached the writer and offered to pay him for the time it would take to correct what the company was sure were inaccuracies in Wikipedia articles on an open-source document standard and a rival format put forward by Microsoft.
