Rick Santorum seems very excited to lose the Iowa Caucuses in a landslide, doesn't he? He's got that fighting spirit back, and he's not afraid to take on black people for supporting abortion rights. Black people, right? Who are they to say what's a person and what isn't? Sounds like a good campaign slogan.
The question is -- and this is what Barack Obama didn't want to answer -- is that human life a person under the Constitution? And Barack Obama says no. Well if that person -- human life is not a person, then -- I find it almost remarkable for a black man to say, "We're going to decide who are people and who are not people."
He's exactly right. Whites did black people a solid by letting them be people. So black people are not allowed to look at something and decide if it's a person. If a black person sees a fetus, that's a person. If a black person sees a plastic bag, that's a person. If a black person sees a cow, that's a person.
So eating beef is cannibalism. And touching anything, such as a pencil, without its consent is molestation. If you're black, that is. Otherwise, it's not a problem. [ YouTube via TPM ]
I don't take it too seriously Lionel, but I do wish The Commenter Formerly Known As Neilist would just try to bring a little more originality to his posts. These faux liberal screeds marked by one sentence paragraphs and same old tired closing salutation just aren't interesting anymore.
It probably wouldn't occur to Rick that by that logic it is also true that black people might take issue with legal obstacles to abortion, since such obstacles implie that women do not have rights over their bodies and can be used to carry unwanted pregnancies to term.
