No doubt... the worst. But up north in Michigan we have problems too

Thankfully we are represented by an insightful governor who intends to veto but they’re coming again.

"If we're talking about providing mercy to these babies because of the suffering they might face ... then it must be a life," said Sen. Ed McBroom, R-Vulcan. "And if it’s a life, how can we justify snuffing it out."

Good point. Let’s not forget that these are the same people who promote rhetoric that says prison is “the good life” - you get free meals, you can watch TV, uh...did I mention the TV part?

Yes I understand that that is based on race based pandering and victimization but it resonates for a reason. These people are just miserable and they want everyone to be the same. Talk radio is based on white men being in their cars pissed off at their lot in life (job, money, boss, the wife) and giving an outlet to vent.

If you’re a Christian, and think a child born from rape is “God’s will,” then the devil is laughing at you.
