How Mayor Daley's administration contributes to the killing

Latest police slaying under investigation - chicagotribune.com

God bless and comfort the families of these murdered, heroic officers.

Mayor Daley, however, should be called to account for how his administration and policies have contributed to Chicago's ongoing orgy of murder.

• Many areas of the city need more police protection, protection the city can not financially afford. Yet millions of dollars are wasted by this corrupt political machine, dollars that are badly needed for additional police and other vital services.
  
  
• Mayor Daley has armed police guards to protect him, and even the police are not safe from murderers. Most citizens don't have such protection. Yet the mayor has been a constant enemy of the constitutional right of citizens to own handguns to protect their families and homes.
  
  
• The mayor's support for elective abortion, and his big government, tax-more spend-more policies have cultivated an anti-life atmosphere corrosive to families, hostile to hope, and conducive to violent crime.

The media's continuing saga of victimization

Bloomberg.com: California Gay Couples `Suffering' as Foes Exult in Wedding Ban.

2008.11.06

To: Joseph Galante, Reporter for Bloomberg


Joseph,

The title of Your article, "California Gay Couples `Suffering' as Foes Exult in Wedding Ban" betrays the article's bias, presenting homosexual couples as victims gleefully oppressed by a tyrannical majority.

A more objective and balanced headline would read simply, "California voters reject legal redefinition of marriage". The reality is that a faction of homosexual activists have repeatedly attempted to impose on the public an unpopular redefinition of marriage and family, and this effort has been rejected by a majority through the democratic process. That this has happened in California, widely perceived as a socially liberal state, is extremely significant.

I would have been very interested to read a factual account of this development and the factors leading to this outcome. Instead, what I found in the Bloomberg article was more of the saga of victimization so prevalent in the "mainstream media".

There is an intense and growing public contempt toward the mainstream media, and people are turning increasingly to other sources in search of real news and objective analysis. I submit to You that primarily this is because people are sick of leftist political activism being dressed up and sold as news coverage. Unfortunately Your article is an example of the sort of activism that is driving away readers.

I wish You all the best in Your efforts to get editorial approval on more fair and objective articles in the future.

Cheers,
John Robin.

Here come the population nazis

Not to judge, but 16 kids? Stop already.
-San Francisco Chronicle columnist bludgeons large family

"Freedom of Choice", the supreme godhead of the left, serenely showers her liberties upon those who wish to kill the children they have already conceived, but evidently is not so absolute and universal a deity as to bestow her freedoms upon large families...

Mr. Morford,

So, Your point is...

"Pro-choice" implies a right to kill children You’ve already conceived, but not a right to raise them without the approval of at least one liberal columnist.

People essentially are not problem solvers, they are problems: a blight on the planet. Solution? Fewer people.

Viewing children as a great gift from God is "pious sanctimony", but instructing a distant family that God disapproves of their children is acceptable.

Those who view children as tomorrow’s inventors, artists, geniuses, and leaders are morons.

Nobody named "Jim Bob" can be any good, especially if he wants to be a Republican senator.

Married Christians who are particularly fertile and raise large families belong to the "asexual Christian right". One must be a "funky" non-Christian to be "pro-sex".

Lots of great fertile sex between mutually consenting spouses is to be publicly ridiculed by cynical tattooed gasbags, some of whom, one might guess, have little personal experience of having a spouse, great fertile sex, or children. But infertile, casual sex with numerous promiscuous partners is to be promoted as a great way to accelerate the depopulation of western nations and protect endangered caribou.

John Robin
