Romney's
flawed ‘apology tour’ rhetoric
By Jonathan Bernstein
“If Mitt Romney believes what he said during the
debate last night, in his latest iteration of his “apology tour” nonsense,
forget about whether or not he’s a liar: He should be nowhere near the White
House…”
Cassi Creek:
Growing up, I
read a lot of history. While most of
what I read was that of the northern hemisphere and the Euro-centric nations, I
read enough, African, Asian and Latin
American history to make me aware of the manner in which the “New World” and other
soon-to-be colonies of European states, were invaded and subjugated by the
Conquistadors and other armies of colonization.
Under the
loving care of the Conquistadors and the Roman Catholic Church, Latin America
became a group of colonies that preserved the Church’s grasp upon civil life,
science, medicine, and culture. The
countries existed in poverty, the priests encouraging and demanding uncontrolled
reproduction.
Reading these
histories I knew that theocracy, poverty, and lack of education with what
little education was available tightly controlled by the remnants of the
Inquisition, made Latin America a place I did not want to visit, never mind
live there.
Flash forward
to the present. The priests have lost
their hold, the counties encourage birth control, and education is
encouraged. The various countries are
climbing out of their historic repressions and enslavement. They are surprisingly liberal when compared
to red states America and particularly Texas.
Texas is nearly ready to create its own Inquisition, followed closely by
several other American states that are as eager to suppress science, as they
are to suppress voters.
Here’s the real kicker for the day.

(CNN) – Richard Mourdock, running for U.S. Senate in Indiana, said
at a debate Tuesday that pregnancies resulting from rape are intended by God.
The Republican candidate was explaining his opposition to abortion
in cases of rape or incest when he made the remark.”
Perhaps someone should inform the
candidate that Erectile Dysfunction is direct retribution for forcing rape
victims to undergo a pregnancy resulting from rape. Therefore, if he and others
like him are so sure of their direct line to a supreme being, it should not
surprise them when their insurance carrier decides to save money by denying
their current prescriptions for ED drugs.
After all, the pious sob’s wouldn’t want to annoy the god of
unrestrained profits.
Both Romney and Ryan have endorsed this teavangelist
ass. It should come as no surprise that
Romney-Ryan will do everything in their power to take this nation backward in
time to the Inquisition, But it will.
