This group is encouraging college students to make a monetary donation to Planned Parenthood in the name of Sarah Palin; Sarah Palin will then get a thank you card from an organization she does not support for a donation she did not make.
I DO NOT support abortion and I think Planned Parenthood is a travesty and quite-often criminal organization. But that is not the point of my post here. My point is to discuss the degradation of the manner in which we handle our disagreements.
My Sarah Palin "sticker" was purposefully manufactured as a magnet as it was assumed I would need to remove it when parking the car to avoid theft. While I have not had that experience, Elle has. (Note, she is parking near a lot more college students than I am.)
I have seen the T-Shirts proclaiming "Sarah Palin is a C***" and various claims that she should have been aborted.
I have NOT seen any misbehavior which sinks anywhere near this level with the "anti-Obama" crowd. If anyone has, I would like to hear about it.
So why is it college students, liberals and Pro-Obama folks are so confident that they are "right" that bad manners sinking to this level is considered acceptable? I am supposed to be "tolerant" ... where is the tolerance of me and my beliefs by those on the left? Where is the tolerance of Sarah Palin and her choices?
Sarah Palin is attacked because she had the audacity to carry to term a Downs Syndrome baby. Had she aborted that baby, all the way to her 8th + month, she would be defended and celebrated by you on the left and you on college campuses.
You on the left have finally shown your true cards: You are NOT pro-choice (as you have claimed since the 70's). You are PRO-ABORTION. And intolerant to the point you feel justified in near-criminal behavior against those who feel differently.
Those of you who are donating to Planned Parenthood on behalf of Sarah Palin ... how would you feel if I donated to my church on your behalf? To a support-the-troops organization? To a bible camp for needy children? To missionaries trying to bring the word of God to the world? To an organization dedicated to California's Prop 8 passing so that marriage remains one man/one woman? To an amendment to the Constitution demanding that you actually have a job and pay taxes before you get to vote?
Let me know which organization offends you the most so I know where to send my money.
p.s. You college students who are so adament in your support of Planned Parenthood, aren't you glad your parents weren't as enthusiastic as you about abortion?
| I know we're all doing our part to spread the word to like-minded friends about how horrible a choice Sarah Palin is for the office of Vice President. We're joining groups. We're forwarding emails. We're even writing letters. Instead of, or perhaps in addition to, all these avenues of nearly-passive protest, I'm suggesting that we participate in the subversively ironic act of making a donation to Planned Parenthood in Sarah Palin's name. It can be as little as $10, but the best part is, when you make a donation to Planned Parenthood in her name, they'll send her a card telling her a donation was made in her honor. You're also giving to a good cause and getting a tax deduction. You can donate in the "Honorary Donations" section of the Planned Parenthood website: https://secure.ga0.org/02/pp10000_i nhonor You'll need to fill in the address to let PP know where to send the "in Sarah Palin's honor" card, and the best address to use would be the national McCain/Palin campaign headquarters: McCain for President 1235 S. Clark Street, 1st Floor Arlington , VA 22202 P.S. Be sure to use the link above or choose "Honorary or Memorial Donations," not the regular "Donate Online," or you won't be able to let her know that you care. I'm not the one that came up with this genius idea, but I thought it was well worth passing on. Invite your friends, please. | |

Okay my dear you asked for it! Thank god for planned parenthood, when I was in college, it prevented pregnacey, cured bladder invections, etc, etc for free! I was so poor at the time, I had no insurance with my folks anymore and none on my own. Remember, Planned parenthood does not make the decision for a female, she makes it herself. And if she makes that unfortunate choice, at least they provide a safe environment for it. And although I personally do not think abortion is right, I support planned parenthood and the right to make the decision. I may not think RVW is written correctly, I wish it had more restrictions, but I think getting rid of it is even more dangerous and destructive in the long run. I don't think Planned Parenthood should be treated like an abortion clinic, they provide many services to people who could not afford it otherwise. Also, there were anti- Obama inncidents as well, on KFI during John and Ken a caller admitted he was driving around neighborhoods burning Obama signs on private home lawns and in Southern California that could have easily lead to a massive fire! Let us all remember that all Presidents make promises they don't keep, all make some mistakes, but as Americans I hope we support our leaders until they prove they should not be, and then we get our chance to vote them out. For now I hope we can put our differences behind us and pray for a peaceful and safe nation.
I am certainly with you on putting our differences aside and working for the betterment of the country.
My issues with the Planned Parenthood were twofold:
1) they are a criminal organization in that under-age girls are getting abortions having been impregnated by MUCH older guys and PP helps cover it up. They are on tape and record helping girls fudge birthdays to hide the crime.
2) I have a HUGE problem with college students making a donation to PP in the name of Sarah Palin. If someone wants to make a donation, then make it and mind your own business. But to make the donation in such a way that Sarah Palin got a thank you card from an organization she does not support for money she did not donate is disgusting.
It would be similar to me making a donation to Yes on 8 in the name of my gay girlfriends who desperately want to get married. It's beyond rude and I would never dream of insulting someone like that just because we disagree.
And I understand that presidents make promises they don't keep, but this is the first time I am aware of that people have voted for a guy HOPING he doesn't keep his promises.
And there is no excuse for anyone burning signs or being a vandal, regardless of who you supported. But I personally had to throw someone out of my house and complain to a high school regarding hateful comments made regarding the McCain/Palin ticket.
Calling someone's baby a "idiot retard"? Where's the tolerance?
I desperately want to believe we all want the same thing but we disagree on how to get there. I hope I am right.
