The Megaphone

For years, I’ve been hearing about how Republicans are calling for some horrific or ridiculous thing.

I’m reminded of the days when Glenn Beck was the voice. You would hear, over and over again, how he had said terrible things.

If you search YouTube, you could find those videos. Those videos were maybe 30 to 60 seconds long.

All of those videos contained the same things. In other words, with thousands of hours of audio, the left could only find a few minutes of questionable audio. Plus, it often turned out that the audio was taken out of context.

The left runs on emotions. Unfortunately, they are not good with joy and excitement, they always fall back on fear and hate.

I had the misfortune of listening to a short clip of Obama stomping for the Democrat candidate for governor of NC.

The clip was about a minute. There wasn’t a thing that came out of his mouth that wasn’t a lie. It was all accusations of Trump, conservatives, Republicans, and anybody else that wasn’t in lock step with his wants.

It was worse than when Kamala’s people make a statement.

Kamala’s people just dropped an ad suggesting that conservative women have no agency. That “the only place they have a choice” is in the voting booth. It was disgusting.

I am not married to a robot. I’m married to a living, breathing, thinking, thoughtful, and beautiful lady. She listens and makes her own choices. Until the debate with Biden, she wasn’t going to vote for Trump.

At that point, there was nothing I could have said to get her to vote for Trump. She had to decide herself.

Hate is a powerful emotion. It is much easier to get people to hate than it is to get them to love, like, or enjoy something.

That has been the Democrat playbook for as long as I have been aware.

In 1964, LBJ aired the “Daisy” ad. The emotion he was looking for was fear. Fear that Goldwater would start a nuclear war, while he, LBJ, was only going to send boys to Vietnam to die. Oops, he didn’t say that last part.

There have been so many hoax hate crimes. The reason is that actual criminal actions based on race are very low. Sorry, that is whites acting in a criminally racist way towards others. Blacks often act in racists ways towards Whites, and it is just accepted.

Fearmongering on the Left has been about abortion. There are 50 states. Each state gets to set their laws, regarding abortion, according to how their people want, via their legislators.

So why are so many women screaming that Republican’s are going to take their “right” to an abortion away. They never had a right to an abortion. A right is something you have from existing. Everybody has it.

If abortion is a “right” then the mother OR the father should be able to choose to abort.

When they scream about their right to an abortion, what they are really screaming for is access to abortion services.

There are a few states that have put in strong anti-abortion laws.

The left is screaming about those. They search high and low for something to go wrong. The first person they found to shove a megaphone in front of was an abortion for a child.

She was transported out of the state of Ohio to have the abortion done. She was raped. The rest of the story includes the fact that the mother’s illegal alien boyfriend was the rapist. That she went out of state to protect him from the law.

And that there was an exception in the Ohio law to cover that type of case.

That is who they held up as an example of horrific outcomes from anti-abortion laws.

They scream that horrible things will happen. So they find a victim. Who was the victim? It was a woman who wanted an abortion rather late, not “late term” but not early in her pregnancy. Her social situation had changed.

She opted for a surgical procedure. Then didn’t allow enough time to get to her appointment. Almost as if she weren’t the sharpest crayon in the box. She was late, they couldn’t do the procedure. She agreed to have a chemical abortion.

She did no follow-up care. She waited until very late to seek treatment for the sepsis that she was suffering from. The hospital she went to didn’t do the required abortion to remove the dead baby from her in a timely fashion.

At the clinical mortality review, it was determined that she would have survived if she had received treatment at the hospital without the extended delay.

Now, the findings of death review panels, mortality committees, and clinical mortality reviews are closed. This is a place where doctors can feel free to say that somebody fucked up, badly. That a doctor’s error killed somebody.

This is who got the megaphone. A woman who didn’t keep her knees together. That got pregnant out of wedlock. Who’s baby father left her. Who waited until then to decide to abort her baby. Who didn’t seek treatment. And who was dead as a result of medical malpractice.

Is she an example of horrific anti-abortion laws killing women? Not in the least.

When Ally and I were talking about the “push for outlawing birth control”, my response was, “you’ve got to be kidding me. Nobody is pushing to outlaw birth control.”

When she posted, you replied that you hadn’t heard a push for banning birth control.

But Ally has heard it.

And that’s because somebody is shoving a megaphone in front of somebody. Who are these people? We don’t know. What are the odds of them getting a bill passed to ban birth control? Nonexistent.

But it adds more volume to the fearmongering. Look, The EVIL Republican’s have not only taken your right to reproductive health care away, now they won’t even let you use birth control!”

That megaphone is being used to chase the sheeple right of the edge of the clif.
