When Liberals Shoot Children

How much of the Republican convention did you watch?




Given the right circumstances, liberal feminists, activist lawyers, and judges who should be impeached for their lack of judgement - will first allow and then defend the cold-blooded shooting of an innocent child.

They did so this week.

Tammy Skinner is a 22 year old mother who has now twice had her case dismissed in Virginia. On the due date of her third pregnancy, she went into contractions, and in her own words, "got scared." She grabbed her gun, drove herself to a secluded used car lot, "told the LORD that her mind was not right,"pointed the gun at her belly, and pulled the trigger. She then picked up her cell phone, called 911, and told authorities a lie about how a man named Travis had shot her.

Tammy Skinner was already a welfare mom of two, who had been knocked up by a boyfriend who she then claimed was verbally abusive to her. Not abusive enough to stop having sex with him continually, but abusive enough to ultimately blame for her dead child.

For clarity's sake - she was having contractions when she shot her child. You see, debate all you want to about "when life begins" - but with modern medicine being what it is we know that technology can help a premature baby live sometimes months outside the womb. There is no doubt this act was murder.

According to Virginia law, any third trimester abortion that is without special medical circumstances is illegal. Virginia law is even more specific saying that "any person who administers, or were to cause... via the use of drugs or any other thing with the intent of destroying the child" is illegal. Yet even in the face of such legal specificity, Skinner's liberal, pro-abort lawyer used the Clintonian tactic to argue the meaning of "any person" and defended his client by saying the word meant "any one other than" Skinner.

The liberal lackeys, parading as judges, in the two different levels of hearings in the matter bought the argument and thusly returned Skinner back to her welfare subsidized home and to return to having more sex with men who might in fact get her pregnant for a forth time.

On my radio show I argued that not only should she go away for a very long time, but that she should have her custody of her other two children revoked. Grandma or Auntie or someone else close to them could certainly do no worse a job of living out a better example in front of them while training them in the way they should go.

But the focus of my scorn is really reserved for the pathetic logic used to argue the case.

With Andrea Yates, who systematically drowned her five children, the majority of Americans viewed the taking of such innocent life as an act of awful and immoral consequence regardless of how desperate her circumstance was.

Most Americans, minus liberal feminists, were equally outraged at the Amish schoolhouse shootings in which five more innocent lives were snuffed out with bullets to the back of the brain.

Even Scott Petersen will be put to death for the wrongful murder of his wife, and unborn child. Continued...

ive been thinking similarly about the u.s. legal system. Letting so many absurd, Godless individuals into it, has made it a protector of evil, instead of a protector of good.

You're class, Mrs. V
Thanks very much for your considerate letter, Mrs. V. (mystery to me why not on your blog site, though, where i made some posts.). What you expressed about your personal disillusionments, thank you for caring if i might have any of the same. I may have told you that i started experiencing disillusionment at about age 13. Being 60 now, i'm well acquainted with it, and wouldnt expect any different, even from the best of people (such as you said about your personal experience with kevin's radio program). At least on this blog, there is some right thinking, which is more than i can say for much of america (and perhaps the majority, as they get ready to dump the country further down the toilet, promoting democrat takeover (according to current talk). They dont even care about such things as the party having a traitor fool that has said, "U.S. military is like hitler gulag...", and much more obvious pollution. They dont care that george soros is chief owner of the party, and that he seeks to bring down america under socialism, or that russia showed what happens to a Godless, socialist country. All fools who want the democrats, will sooner or later, get the ruin they deserve, since ruin is what they insist on having, and trying to bring on others, who dont want it. Not that republicans are terrific, overall. But it's like comparing stupid, inefficient, politically correct bureaucracy, as usual (republican govt) to obvious polluted, socialist rot (democrat govt). Given those great choices, i choose bureaucracy (even though i hate bureaucracy, but i hate Godless socialist rot, even more. Imagine, e.g., if we had the aclu as our rulers. (Godless, perverted communism, anyone.). So i'm off on a tangent, as usual. The point is, you said right when you said your family is your top priority (next to God), and that letting others worry you a lot (such as kevin's treatment) isnt something that should bother you. You have some good things to say, and there will be some appreciation by some, such as me. And i guess kevin feels that, as a group, we can make a difference, which i expect is why he proposes that we make comments. I think it's a quite good idea. So remember that, and if he isnt perfect, put that aside, and let's all press on, doing the best we can, regardless of the fact that not only is kevin imperfect, everyone in this present life, is imperfect.
Still, it means a lot to me that you cared about how i feel. Maybe caring means something, not only being right. One saying about the lost is something like "They wont care about what you know, unless they know you care." So keep caring, Mrs V. Maybe it's the most important thing of all.
God bless you. tw
