Friends, this week's Newsmaker Show covers some of the hottest, buttonest issues around, like abortion and the Russia-Ukraine War. The Left is screaming bloody murder (ironically) because some women are set to lose their "abortion rights". What's more, many lefties are blaming Christians for this judicial reversal of fortune, and they're demanding that blue states provide more funding for abortion clinics, so that blue areas can service the "reproductive health care" needs of women living in red areas. As I argue, circumventing the law is a leftist specialty, so don't count the abortion lovers out, by any means. Re: Ukraine, I argue that all the Western protestations of support for Ukraine conceal an underlying indifference to the fate of the Ukrainian people, and a lack of willingness to sacrifice anything truly precious to the West, like the lives of our soldiers or our access to Russian natural gas.
When we turn to "This Day in History", Brian and I explore an assassination that may have contributed to the outcome of the War of 1812, and thus to the survival of the United States; German resentment of the Treaty of Versailles; President Kennedy's (understandable) determination to bring U.S. military power to bear against the Viet Cong; and the nobility of the U.S. effort in South Vietnam, in light of that country's vulnerability to communist aggression.
It's a fascinating dialogue between me and Brian (and sometimes between me and me). Tune in and judge for yourself!
Dr.Waddy from Jack: Abortion is a grim subject yes, but the American left's frantic thrashing cacophonic writhing at the probable shipwreck ( for the best cause)of their cherished abortion on demand dream and a most telling denial to them of the largesse they expected of Scotus, is wryly amusing ( although not so if those raggedy totalitarians are holding forth outside your home or your office ).Just imagine if we were to use their mode of reacting to discreditation: eg: "Why, this abortion support and this baby formula shortage! Why its 'the war on babies ';forward unto the breach! Our cause justifies all means!"
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack: Gov. Hochul's administrative law apportionment of a mere 25 million of taxpayer dollars (although, gee, many NY taxpayers loath abortion, aww just sayin'): I wonder how the taxpayer funded advertisements to those who live in states where feti are lawfully protected; I wonder how they will be worded! "We welcome you to NY although the fetus is persona non grata once it hazards our borders.""Well yes, the fetus does have no choice! Oh well." Remember the Public Health uniformed Admiral under the fetus doubting,even in the transcendent presence of the Sainted Mother Theresa, Clintons? One Joycelene Elders she was and she scolded Pro-lifers thus: "oh get over your love affair with the fetus!" Uh huh, ok! Let Kathy Hochul's reverence, surely, also, for the abortion providers who will quit settings in which they are despised for pitifully compromised and ruled by an inhumane government , NY state,; even for this benighted state;; let this be her defining hallmark in this election year. I mean, abortions require paid , devoted, abortionists, yes? ! Good neighors ehh?
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack: As a Vietnam vet I second your opinion that our cause there was noble! Kennedy had twice in his lifetime faced the murderous intentions of tyrannical sociopaths! History records no doctrine demonstrated as purely sociopathic as communism and we were very right to oppose it. It was only a disgracefully ignorant, naive, ungrateful and, in its ultimate effect, sociopathic faction, empowered not by transcendent vision but only by its monstrous size, which forced our country into shameful retreat!
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack: The American left does not and will not learn. Their reflexive and presumptuous overuse and misuse of myriad "isms" as summary condemnation of anything and anybody of which they disapprove is a major factor in the surging and decisive resentment obvious toward them. Why ,they are definitive fascists! They are intensely authoritative, champions of endless government sway, "demonstrative", as it were" of willingness to use force and comprehensively bigoted. Their casual accusations of fascism are without merit!
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack: Authoritarian , not authoritative.
ReplyDeleteQuite right, Jack: the crusade against communism was undeniably just -- and necessary. I suppose one can legitimately take issue with tactics/strategies used to oppose communism, however. As a matter of fact, I think there might be respectable arguments for abandoning Vietnam...long before we committed ground troops there. Once we had "taken our stand", though, I believe political, moral, and strategic factors ALL required us to stay the course and WIN! We almost did, and we should have done so.
