Editor loves murder of unborn children
Kristin Palpini is a proud pro-abort who says that killing the unborn is a “medically necessary procedure” that should be “acceptable” (“Why I Am Pro-Abortion,” July 30-Aug. 5, 2015). Of course, she’s lying. According to abort73.com, “Only 12 percent of women included a physical problem with their health among reasons for having an abortion.” Also, Ms. Palpini says that “A mother’s life, needs, and desires come before that of a fetus. And that includes her right to abort it.” What a sickening thing to say! I will never understand why the loony left supports the murder of unborn children.
As the late great President Ronald Reagan once said, “I’ve noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born.”
Donald Trump will bring sanity to D.C.
I have never seen anything remotely like this in my 57-year involvement in politics (“Who said it, Trump or Mr. Burns?” July-Aug. 5, 2015). Fearful that Donald Trump will prevent them from having their way for the first time in their life, every Pavlovian in America seems to be raising their voices in unison against him, shouting “racist,” “bigot,” “homophobe.” This is particularly noticeable right here in “Pavlovia” — the Northampton/Amherst area. While this ferociousness against Donald Trump was expected, what was not anticipated is the fact that Trump keeps coming back and speaking over the shrill, contemptuous voices in his attempt to stop the political business-as-usual madness in Washington D.C. and, among other things, to speak against the ghastly practice of child sacrifice through abortion.
Are we seeing history repeat itself? In the early part of the fifth century a monk named Telemachus had a calling from God to go to Rome to stop the gladiatorial games of slaughtering each other. With the crowd assembled in the Coliseum in Rome, Telemachus jumped out of the spectator section and ran between two gladiators shouting, “Stop! Stop! … in the name of Christ, I beg you: Stop!” The crowd hissed and booed the monk, but his voice carried over the screaming crowd. Eventually, a gladiator stabbed Telemachus through with a sword. The shock of his death changed the hearts of the crowd. That day, Emperor Honorous issued an edict forbidding all further gladiatorial games.
Donald Trump recently came on the scene to unravel the political logjam in Washington D.C. and speak out against abortion. The crowd is hissing and booing him, yet Trump’s voice is inexplicably and incredibly carrying over the crowd that seeks to run him through with their piercing words in an attempt to silence him.
Telemachus the monk versus the blood thirst of ancient Rome; Donald Trump verses modern day, cantankerous Pavlovians. I see a connection here.
Fight climate change; go vegan
Editor’s Note: This comment appears under the article “Our Crappy Diets Are Speeding Up Climate Change: Livestock responsible for 20 percent of greenhouse gases.” Join the conversation at www.valleyadvocate.com.
The ideal is a global shift to a plant-based diet. I wish reporter Hunter Styles would have asked everyone to take the most effective action of going vegan, and not the watered-down, weak action of reducing meat consumption. Climate change is a serious, urgent problem, and we need dramatic action now from everyone if we are to have any hope. So please, if you care, take the best possible action you can take and ditch planet-wrecking meat and dairy completely.
