Rand Paul is showing his true feelings he holds towards Congress: He has no faith the Congress will do what is right and necessary to investigate and prosecute those responsible for the deaths in B******i, the spying on American citizens by the NSA and the IRS's brand of terrorism towards conservative groups. Instead, what should be the purview of the Congress, he is relegating to the courts in hopes some justice can be realized. Is it no wonder the Congress has approval ratings around 10% when one of its own members doesn't trust the rest to conduct themselves with honor rather than partisan politics?

Have you learned the last bastion of the liberal argument is to call names when facts are scant? Just by your first line alone you have surrendered any credibility and have the adults on this forum wondering if it is possible for you to form a cogent thought.

I can tell you the women I have met in my life have nearly all been "pro-life". In fact, one is the regional director of the county's Right to Life office.

I firmly believe in women's rights - a woman has the right to become pregnant with whomever and whenever she wants. It is a conscious decision she made. She also has the right to abstain from promiscuous sex and/or obtain the means to not become pregnant. If those choices are infringed upon by violence, then the perpetrator belongs in prison for a very long time. Beyond her choice, the rest is in God's hands.

Have you ever wondered why it is perfectly legal for a woman to k**l her unborn baby, yet the same woman can go to jail for smashing an osprey's egg?

Do you know who was against legalizing RU486, the so-called "Morning After Pill", in the USA? Planned Parenthood. Why? It's because the a******n mills are big money makers.

Margaret Sanger referred to b****s as "human weeds" and should be eliminated. To no surprise, there is a Planned Parenthood office in every urban area. According to blackgenocide.com, three of every five black pregnancies ends in a******n. (WARNING: Do NOT visit the website as the graphics are extremely gruesome.) Choice? It appears many black women are choosing to make Sanger's legacy complete as the black community is actually LOSING population.

To assume nearly all men are pro-life is to ignore many of our g****r who have the moral conviction of a common cur. For them, a******n is a means of covering their tracks and avoiding responsibility.

I would think if all paternity laws were overturned, illegitimacy rates would drop like a boulder off a steep cliff. Currently, state laws say a woman can abort her unborn baby at any time without the consent of the father, yet if she decides to keep it full term, the father has the right to support it for the next 18 years. If it wasn't for the kickbacks from the federal government states receive from collecting child support, paternity would be a thing of the past.

An illegitimate child should not be the means to access a lifetime of welfare benefits as well. The welfare trap puts young mothers on the Democrat plantation where they have little or no incentive to ever get off the public teat. This crowd v**es well over 90% Democrat as the promises of more welfare come in every e******n cycle. By making welfare too easy, the government is tacitly encouraging irresponsible behavior.

Sir, you own Aunti an apology for your derogatory name-calling. Keep in mind the forum is to converse, not come off as an uncouth, knuckle-d**gging i***t who has to resort to sounding like a victim of Tourette's. You are better than that, right?

I just find it amazing so many people are gullible or ignorant enough to support Obama, a chief executive with NO redeeming qualities. While having Obama is bad enough, considering the clueless masses that v**ed for him is even more troubling. I would suggest to anyone who thinks Obama is just a regular guy to read the book, We've Been Had by James R. Keena. I would guess most of his supporters probably haven't read anything more than a comic book in 20 years. Therein lies the problem.

As a guy who is related to many females, I would politely disagree with your assertion. :)

I understand the frustration of the former writer as one would think, "Of all the pressing issues and scandals we have today, why would a major political party waste its time haggling about this?"

As one who never passes a good chance at stirring the pot, I would like to weigh in with these points:

1. I learned from my mother the one thing which separates Americans from other people is how much value we place on life. Over the last many decades, there has been a concerted effort to redefine morality in this country and the a******n debate has certainly been in the center of it.

2. Republicans (many, but not all) advocate personal responsibility. The secret where babies come from has been out for a few years now (a pinch of sarcasm here) so unwanted pregnancies could be avoided easily. No woman has become pregnant from door knobs, toilet seats or some phantom "pregnancy v***s" which means a conscious decision has been made. If not, someone needs to go to prison for a LONG time.

3. Saving the lives of the innocent is worth the effort. On the flip side of the issue, why is it not a waste of time for the Left to promote condom use in the public schools which have shown to not protect the users from the HIV v***s and certain death? Why is not a waste of taxpayer dollars to fund the k*****g of unborn babies? Would decent people find Obama's position of infanticide reprehensible rather than a waste of their waking hours? Why does the Left deceitfully call a******n a "women's health issue"? In extremely rare cases to save the life of the mother, it is true, but some 99.5% are performed soley for convenience.

IMHO, the a******n issue is merely a symptom of a much larger problem. Morality, personal responsibility, proper deportment and chivalry are not being passed down from generation to generation as in the past by parents. People holding godly faith are ridiculed as weird, out-of-touch, mean Bible-thumpers and painted with a very wide brush as all hypocrites. The schools, television and game consoles are now accepted as babysitters. (I am cynical enough to say the tablets young kids have now have an app called "Outside" - an electronic substitute for going outdoors to play with friends, ride bikes, play baseball, etc.)

Yes, the Republican Party needs to stand for accountability from the current regime and prosecute fully those who have violated the public trust, but it can't lose sight of right and wrong. We expect the Left to scoff at what we hold dear. If we ignore the issue, then we are no better than they are.

You, too?

Once I sent a message to my youngest son's computer with a funny quip and asked, "Do you know who this is?"

Without missing a beat, he said, "Dad, it's you!"

"How did you know it was me?" I asked.

"It's because you're the only person I know that uses proper English and correct spelling on the Internet."

I suppose that makes me antiquated. :)

Thanks! I'm sure if I had one more cup of coffee this morning I would have realized that. :)

I have stated the same thing many times in different ways. The patriot democrat is gone by the way of the black and white TV and the rotary phone. What we have left are rabid sheep who flatly refuse to do their due diligence and think for themselves. This type also is working to redefine right and wrong, good and bad in our society. The silent Republican is just as much to blame.

Excellent post!

You are making the best argument for federal term limits and for the repeal of the 17th Amendment. It was Sir Winston Churchill who once said, "The best argument against democracy is to hold a five minute conversation with the average v**er." Between the political indoctrination in education and the liberal compliant media, the average v**er has shown they are incapable of making a rational decision at the polls. Our political enemies have proven to be very patient in their treachery towards the country we hold dear.
