Extremes !

  Perhaps a clarification of last night's state of the Union remarks are in order? To classify me, and put me in the correct pigeon hole, I would call myself a Conservative Democrat. Sounds like a conflict within doesn't it? Well, it isn't, what it is, is that I believe that the Democratic party has been taken over by the far left loons! I fear for our beloved party, a party that still stands for compassion, and I gotta ton of compassion! Why then would I have sounded a blanket alarm? Democrats aren't bad, but the party's leadership is taking it to the extreme! What do I mean by that? Let's take just one example, one that doesn't include Benghazi, or any international problem. Let's do a social one, let's talk about abortion. The Democrats have been telling the American people that the other party has a war on women? But what it really is all about, when you clear away all the fluff, is about Roe v. Wade! The extreme on the right wants to repeal the law, and the extreme on the left wants abortion on demand. These are the two extremes. But for the reality of this, our time, and what most Americans by far agree with, is that abortion should be rare.
Abortion is extremely personal, and the government has no place in the decision that the young woman makes. If she is lucky enough to have family, it is something that a young girl should talk to her family about. But the government must make available the option of abortion for three reasons. One, if the life of the mother is in danger, two and three, if there is rape or incest involved! This, people of good conscience should understand, and should pay for. But to expect those same Americans of good conscience to have to pay for an abortion because it is inconvenient to the mother is ludicrous! Lord knows there are enough forms of contraception around. A little common sense goes a long way, but instead, something as important as the abortion issue, becomes nothing more then a political football?
  Oh, this is another social issue, but I'll make this one short, because this one goes out only to the Democrats! Why are you not up in arms about the targeting of the IRS on conservatives? Do you think that the Democrats will hold the presidency forever?
