Apple's Siri Cannot Inhibit Abortion Commerce: Democrats And Republicans Have It Completely Handled

Apple's Siri has failed to have real abortion savvy with regard to identifying the location of clinics. This in turn has sparked debate about if Apple is anti-abortion. Some are concerned that Apple will cave to abortion proponents' desire for clinics to have ever-present accessibility, even on every lane of the information highway.

As if the abortion industry needs one more proponent. Does anyone really believe that the abortion industry lacks supporters?

In America, abortion is commerce. It is accepted and even embraced as necessary utility by every aspect of our society. Lack is hardly evident when it comes to support for the abortion industry. There remains an abundance of apathy about the cessation of life. All the while abortion providers find every way possible to make it appear as if the sky is falling when some do not agree with the continued lack of discernment -- and unlimited procedures.

It all begins with the scientific parsing about the stages of life. The learned halls have desensitized the knowledge that life in the womb is a singularly important, uniquely designed creation that is intended to contribute in particular ways to the act of that which we call living. Life in the womb seems to have become a curiosity that is no longer considered sacred in America.

When life in the womb cannot be considered sacred, all is destined to be consumed.

America accepts abortion. Acceptance has been fashioned under pretense of law -- or under an abundance of legislations that are only loosely defined conditions. Abortion is allowed for whatever reason during any point of pregnancy. The lip service of law simply gives the illusion of reasonable restrictions.

The abortion laws are malleable and worded so that cessation of life is easily allowed. In cases where groups have tried to apply a specific and reasonable abortion restriction, those gratified by abortion shout about the slippery slope of allowing for restrictions.

As if the slope America resides upon with regard to abortion is not yet precipice enough.

Due to incentives, the abortion providers cannot function within clearly drawn lines of an absolute right and wrong pneumatic; the atmospheric black and white. The grey area is where it is at for America's growing abortion industry. Abortion can thrive and even emerge as respected commerce in the land of the grey.

In our politically correct society it is easy for the progressive among us to shout against any consideration, with regard to the consequences of abortion. The progressives often times applaud the justification of abortion cases for those who become pregnant, but do not want to be punished with a pregnancy. The progressives are also apt to derided worthy perceptions for allowing nine months of inconvenience, followed by adoption. Life less abundant, is a progressive mantra that has taken hold -- and then taken over. The mantra is spoken on the left and the right.

There are a few who understand that abortion is an issue of individual will. No matter the laws or ideologies, it is an issue of heart. Overall, it appears America has no heart for the unborn and wills to utilize abortion under the premise of progress.

Abortion makes sense to the many who are in the position to choose which path to take with regard to American progress. Our most respected peers, the smartest and most proficient within the pillars of America's; government, education, medicine, product development, and research -- have ultimately decided that they need the remains of the aborted in order to meet a greater good. The line for fetal remains starts in America*. The progressive polluted progress that America is engaging upon encompasses a defining regressive movement along the single biggest path to destruction.

Bloodshed committed not only for convenience, but also for profit. Help us all, intact remains from abortion are acquired by some for purposes of securing the blood.

Thanks to the abortion laws that are in place, life terminated in the womb has the option of; being treated as medical waste, buried, cremated, or recycled. Meaning, thanks to the abortion laws nobody really cares what happens to the remains, and this has become a win-win for some. The abortion provider has less need to predominantly utilize first three disposal options due to America's need of their final product. The abortion provider has propelled abortion services as that of a greyer, greater good -- while making additional money by selling as much of the remains as possible.

Abortion clinics allow wholesalers to acquire fetal parts in order to provide them to industry. Those involved in commerce of the aborted are sellers, wholesalers, or buyers. The sellers are the abortion clinics. The wholesalers are the middlemen who literally prepare the orders for the buyers. The buyers come from every part of education, medicine, government, research, and the food industry.

As a matter of cost efficiency, the buyers have increasingly figured out that eliminating the wholesaler and dealing directly with the abortion clinic (seller) offers fiscal advantage.

Commercial Markets Created by Abortion by Victoria Evans points to the many ways in which clinics are allowing many to profit from abortion via the sale of fetal remains. She writes that the total market for using fetal pancreatic tissue to treat diabetes is 6 billion dollars annually. As troublesome as the abortion commerce tale is, Evans shares that "Democrats are in bed with the sellers and Republicans are in bed with the buyers". Additionally, the Supreme Court offers a safe harbor with regard to assuring continued limitless abortion procedures. Therefore, abortion represents business as usual in America.

Do not worry abortion proponents, your ideology and industry will forge ahead for the greyer, greater good. It is okay if Siri cannot seem to find the way to a clinic.

About our journey with autism: At the very beginning I figured, no big deal, we'll get our daughter normalized in no time and pretty soon she would be asking for the car keys. It didn't quite work out that way and as my entire family and I continued to work through the ebb and flow of her unique walk, we fell madly in love with her in all her glory. For a real life look at one case of severe autism, just Google "Hello, Dr. Wells". It is a sixteen year account of autism that turned to schizophrenic like psychosis.

I have researched the subject of human residual DNA from vaccination product cultures; the cultures, in part, are the end result of the use of tissue from fetal remains after abortion. This subject collides with autism possibly resulting from accidental integration of the human DNA residual in vaccination products.

*A per month representative list of fetal parts sold after the abortion process: 47 livers, 11 liver fragments, 7 brains, 21 eyes, 8 thymuses, 23 legs, 14 pancreases, 14 lungs, 6 arms, 1 kidney/adrenal gland, 3 intact specimens for purposes of securing the blood.

President Obama Says the Republicans Want Business With No Rules - That's a False Charge

The other day, I was listening to one of President Obama's stump speeches as he jet set around the country in Air Force One soliciting campaign contributions for his 2012 run against the Republicans that have the higher approval ratings. President Obama said something very interesting when it came to over-regulation, and the cries from the business community.

He said that; "Republicans want business with no rules!" That is simply false, that is not true, and all of the small businesses, and the corporate executives that I know, and I know quite a few, just want a fair shake, and they are;

Tired of the duplication of rules and regulations at every level of government
Tired of the double jeopardy of lawsuits from private sector and government
Tired of Consumer Extortion
Tired of Competing with Foreign Firms that Don't Follow the Rules
Tired of Crony Capitalism, Unbalanced Playing Fields, and Government Picking the Winners

It is really unfortunate that we have a President of the United States who has never run a business, and perhaps never even run a lemonade stand for all I know. You can go into any small business in your town, talk to the owner, and verify what I've said here in this article. You can ask them to see all of their licenses, permits, and registrations. Most small businesses have no less than 20 pieces of paper showing that they are legitimately allowed to run their type of business on that premises.

Many folks that have never run a business don't understand, they think running a business is easy and all you have to do is get a business license. But that's not really true, you need all sorts of other licenses, and you have to pay all kinds of fees, taxes, and the harassment, well, it really never stops. Further, on any given week you might be visited by several regulators from various agencies at the city, county, state, and federal level.

In fact, it's amazing the amount of micromanagement the government does, and all the enforcement that goes on. The federal government is perhaps the most arrogant of all, because they believe their rules trump every other jurisdiction, and they act as they have the power to shut you down on the spot. The way the legal system works in this country, they actually do. Still, we are a nation that believes in capitalism and free enterprise, including the right to free contract. It is amazing how the federal government has infiltrated its way into every single transaction that we do.

If we truly want jobs back in America, we are going to have to lighten the load on our small business community with regards to all the regulations. Since President Obama has been in office the regulations have increased, not decreased. And Congress, the regulatory agencies, and even the president himself through executive orders have done nothing more than stifle free enterprise and commerce. Excuse me for saying so, but that's just totally unacceptable.

It additionally, the arrogance of President Obama to make such a statement and to label the Republicans as wanting to allow businesses to run with no rules whatsoever is absolute poppycock and utter hokum. Of course, it makes sense that a socialist leaning president would use such a populist message, and class warfare categorization to promote his own personal agenda and political career. But as I said; it's simply unacceptable. Please consider all this and think on it.

Annie Could Humble President Obama, and Republicans, Too

There's no place like New York City at Christmas time. The city is alive with the holiday season, the stores, the shops, the hotels, and the restaurants are beautifully decorated.

There's an air of optimism in New York City at this time of the year. A simple walk through Central Park or along Fifth Avenue can be magical.

Anyone who experiences the sing along with the Salvation Army Band at "21", or takes in a Broadway holiday show, comes away with Christmas memories for a lifetime.

Christmas in New York is a one of a kind encounter.

I came to understand this a few years ago, and still recall with great passion the Broadway musical Annie, starring 1977 Tony nominee Andrea McArdle, in the lead, as orphan "Annie."

The depression-era musical is about optimism and hope. It tells the story of billionaire Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks who invites an orphan (Annie) to come to his Mansion for the Christmas holidays, and she quickly steals his heart. The play is about not giving up hope, and looking forward to tomorrow, despite the hard times of today.

The gap between the rich and poor, the have and have-nots, is a large symbol in Annie, and the answer to that chasm can be found in the play's uplifting signature song of eternal optimism, "Tomorrow."

There are parallels to Annie, and what we are experiencing today. As during the Great Depression, millions have lost their jobs, and their homes, and there seems to be no end in sight.

The country however has not lost hope, and sent a message to President Barrack Obama in the mid-term congressional elections. They do not like the direction he is taking the country, and voters are anxiously waiting to see how he responds.

The first test will be the congressional decision on income tax rates. A meeting is scheduled tomorrow at the White House between the President and congressional leaders from both parties to discuss the matter.

Voters have made it plain, they don't want tax increases on anyone; instead, they want government off their backs, and to spend less taxpayer money.

So far, President Obama continues on a theme of pitting the haves against the have-nots, but what is missing from his message is optimism and hope, or the idea that we are all in this together.

He seems focused on a message of "payback," that somehow those on the high end of the economic scale have received a break other folks have not, and instead of wanting to pull us together, he wants to punish those who are well off by raising their taxes (although he won't come out and say it like that).

There has been some talk of a compromise, but the issue is far from settled, and we are now heading into a new year with no idea what next year's tax rates will be.

Never mind that voters made themselves clear a few weeks ago. They do not want tax rates increased on anyone; for fear that it will result in a more difficult economic recovery, and a prolonged period of high unemployment.

In the musical Annie, Daddy Warbucks eventually takes Annie to Washington D.C. where she asks to meet with President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Although Warbucks and the President do not agree politically, she brings them together, and begins to sing "Tomorrow," only to be quickly hushed from doing so by members of the President's Cabinet.

President Roosevelt intercedes, saying he wants the government to be optimistic during hard times, and he commands everyone, including Warbucks, and the Cabinet, to sing along with Annie.

No one expects President Obama to "sing along" with Republicans, but as in Annie, the country desperately wants a message of optimism and hope from this White House, too.

Annie saw the best sides of everyone, and despite a "Hard Knock Life," she held out for a better "Tomorrow." Her message humbled President Roosevelt, and the billionaire Warbucks, too, and the country ultimately benefited.

Hopefully, President Obama will see things the same way.

Did Sarah Palin excludiate Republicans from the Senate? - The Guardian

There was no way Sarah Palin was going to see the election results as anything other than a "big darn deal" for Tea Party conservatives, Mama Grizzlies and – of course – her personal political brand.

Her first tweet of the new Republican era, sent just after midnight, said (in full): "As always, proud to be American! Thanks, Commonsense Constitutional Conservatives, u didn't sit down & shut up … u refudiated extreme left."

But by dawn, television commentators were arguing that rather than "refudiating" the extreme left, Palin may have been the spoiler that cost the Republicans the Senate on a night of historic gains.

There was also speculation that establishment Republicans, having harnessed the energy of Tea Party activists to take the House of Representatives with a historic 60-seat pickup, would now be looking to ensure Palin does not cost them an even bigger prize: the White House in 2012.

Palin's election-night scorecard was mixed. Her top Tea Party favourites – Christine O'Donnell in Delaware and Sharron Angle in Nevada – lost after dislodging more mainstream, and arguably more electable, candidates in the Republican primaries. Those defeats helped the Democrats keep the Republicans from taking the Senate.

Palin could not elect John Raese, the Republican contender in West Virginia, despite making a personal last-minute appearance in a conservative coal state deeply hostile to Barack Obama's energy agenda.

She could not even ensure victory for her fellow Alaskan Joe Miller. Palin escalated a family feud with the Alaska branch of the party, engineering the primary defeat of Senator Lisa Murkowski. But by yesterday morning, Murkowski was still hanging on, with a dogged challenge as a write-in candidate.

From her perch at Fox News, where she did election night duty as commentator, Palin would admit to seeing only wins. "It's a big darn deal," she said, going on to compare the scale of the Republican victory to an earthquake.

She waved away earlier predictions by the Republican operative Karl Rove that elevating O'Donnell was a disaster that would cost the party a sure seat.

"Christine's defeat, of course, in a deep blue state, it's not really a surprise – disappointing for those who really wanted to shake it up in that state though," Palin said. "There was never any guarantee that a hardcore conservative would win in a deep blue state like Delaware."

But there were enough victorious Mama Grizzlies to solidify Palin's self-appointed role as king- or queen-maker. Kelly Ayotte won her Senate seat in New Hampshire. In gubernatorial races, Nikki Haley of South Carolina, Susan Martinez of New Mexico, and Mary Fallin of Oklahoma ushered in a new generation of Republican women leaders.

Palin could also claim some credit for eroding the Democrats' traditional gender advantage. Obama lost women's votes in droves on Tuesday night.

Those advantages were not lost on Republicans, even those who have clashed ferociously with Palin in the past.

"Without the energy of the Tea Party, we wouldn't be looking at Speaker Boehner," Nicolle Wallace, a senior John McCain aide who has had a number of high-visibility clashes with Palin, told MSNBC television. "Republicans accept we made some tradeoffs."

But maybe not for long. Palin's aggressive intervention in the midterm elections – and the mixed results – has refocused attention on her personal flaws as presidential material.

She may be a heroine to the Tea Party activists, capable of firing up the deeply conservative wing of the party. But she is poison to the broader electorate – in opinion polls, two-thirds still think she is unfit to be president – and she has shown she values ideological purity over electability.

That could present some conflicts further on to Republicans looking to build on their big gains in Congress before the 2012 elections. Palin made it clear yesterday that she is expecting payback, and that Republicans can not take her or the Tea Party activists for granted.

"They have the GOP establishment on notice right now, saying: 'We are going to hold you accountable,'" she said. "We cannot compromise, especially when it comes to taxes and overregulation. The Tea Party movement has got to grow beyond tonight. We have to look at the next election. We don't stop; we don't slow down."

Republicans, heading for big gains, ready agenda - The Associated Press

Republicans, heading for big gains, ready agenda(AP) – 3 hours ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican leaders, ever more confident of their chances of winning control of the House and possibly even the Senate, have begun plotting a 2011 agenda topped by a push for more than $100 billion in spending cuts, tax reductions and attempts to undo key parts of President Barack Obama's health care and financial regulation laws.

The question is how much of the GOP's government-shrinking, tax-cutting agenda to advance, and how fast.

It's certain that Republicans want to capitalize quickly on tea party-fueled anger and the antiestablishment fervor that they believe will provide momentum to accomplish an activist to-do list. It's equally clear, however, that the outsized expectations of a fed-up electorate and a crop of unruly newcomers could complicate the plans. So could Obama and fellow Democrats who will still be around after Tuesday's elections.

GOP lawmakers are publicly mum about much of what they intend to do if they prevail in midterm congressional contests. Many say privately they want to avoid appearing to "measure the drapes" for new leadership offices before winning any majority.

But especially in the House - where Republicans have a clear shot at scoring the 40-seat gain they would need for control - they are in intense internal talks about how a GOP-driven agenda would work.

Rep. John Boehner, in line to become speaker under that scenario, and Rep. Eric Cantor, his No. 2, have had initial discussions to ensure a plan is ready, a spokesman said.

Most agree a marquee item on a new GOP majority's agenda would be an aggressive package of spending cuts, on the order of $100 billion or more, that could also be paired with steps to block implementation of key parts of Obama's health care law and new financial regulations.

What's less clear is how Obama would respond, and whether a turbocharged Republican majority could muster a bipartisan compromise, especially when its freshman class will probably have little appetite for following any established party position or leader.

"The Republican Party is still a tattered brand. It's not as if people are enthusiastically embracing the Republican brand - they're rejecting what has been done the last two years," said Michael Franc of the conservative Heritage Foundation, a House aide following the 1994 Republican takeover. "They're going to have to do something that is dramatic enough to say to people, 'We heard you.'"

GOP leaders are working to calibrate expectations, Franc said, so they don't end up being accused of "being a fiscal squish" if they compromise on cuts.

Republicans laid out some of their wish-list last month in the "Pledge to America," which called for tax and spending cuts, health care law repeal and congressional reform, among other things. Some GOP leaders argue a victory on Election Day would give them a strong mandate to carry out such changes, although many of them are likely to run into strong Democratic opposition.

"If the public puts us in the majority, they're saying that they want this to go forward," said Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., one of the pledge's architects.

Obama, he added, "would be in a hard position not to support this."

That's not necessarily a view shared by the Senate's top Republican, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who'll have a vital role leading a strengthened GOP team in that chamber, regardless of whether the party reaches the long-shot goal of gaining the 10 seats necessary to get control.

"I think humility and gratitude is the appropriate response to the midcourse correction that I think is coming - not, you know, sort of chest-beating or spiking the ball in the end zone or acting like we have been entrusted with the entire federal government," McConnell said in a recent interview. A win on Nov. 2, he added, would be "a good first step toward turning the government back in the direction that I and virtually everybody in the country aligned with our particular point of view think is ... necessary."

On both sides of the Capitol, Republicans know they face a difficult task - scarcely less daunting than Obama's own after he was elected president - in fulfilling the expectations of angry voters who are once again demanding change.

"The American public, if we are to win the majority, has laid out a very clear message. It doesn't mean they love us, but they want to see the country go in a different direction," McCarthy said.

Much depends on how Obama would choose to work with a GOP majority. Clashes are virtually guaranteed over spending cuts, as well as Republican attempts to permanently extend income tax cuts not only for middle-income people, which Democrats support, but for the highest earners too.

McCarthy said the president should "realize the election's over, realize the message the voters have sent and maybe go study what Bill Clinton did," moving to the right to meet Republicans.

First-termers who ran as enemies of business-as-usual in Washington aren't likely to be in the mood to accept the standard bargaining that's virtually certain to result once their colleagues on Capitol Hill and outside interest groups - including the business lobby - get a look at the GOP's proposals.

"They come in with an authenticity that nobody has: 'We were elected in the year of the tea party. We know what the people want. You are just old fuddy duddies who have been here forever and are part of the problem,'" said Grover Norquist, the president of Americans for Tax Reform who often advises congressional Republicans.

On health care, there's little doubt that a Republican majority would quickly set a vote to ax the overhaul law - a symbolic move that has no chance of succeeding given Obama's veto pen. The GOP would then follow up with attempts to block key elements of the measure by denying the money to implement it.

But there are internal rifts over which portions to leave alone and which to target, with some conservatives predisposed to block as much of the law as possible and others worrying about obliterating politically popular elements.

"The class of '94 was rambunctious, but not as rambunctious as this class is likely to be. Herding these cats is going to be more difficult than usual," said John Feehery, a former senior House aide who helped keep the new GOP majority in line behind the "Contract with America" following the 1994 election.

Republican leaders, hoping for another such sweep after two consecutive losing elections, say potential intraparty rifts don't scare them.

"I can tell you it's a problem I'd love to have," McConnell said. "I'd rather be the leader of more people than fewer people."
