Lane: I do not agree with the federal government supporting killing a preborn human. A child is a child from the moment of conception. The argument is: They've done it before, they'll always do it. That's probably true. My point is a nation should not support or condone the killing of anybody. Then you'll come around with what about capital punishment. Well, you know what, if you're on death row, you're an adult and you made a choice to be there. An innocent child in the womb does not have a right to make a decision because they haven't been born, yet. We're taking that right away from that child. JFP: But do you think there are too many male politicians telling women what to do with their bodies? Wade: This is about right and wrong. How is it that they find a cell on Mars, then there's evidence of life on Mars, but if there's a cell in a womb, it's not a baby? ... You don't have the right to kill. If that was the case, then they had a right to kill us as blacks. If it's just a matter of having enough votes in the Legislature to kill someone, then there's nothing wrong with it. Lane: I'm really going to set you back here. Probably the biggest turn we ever made was when the women got the right to vote. JFP: What do you mean? Lane: Our country might have been better off if it was still just men voting. There is nothing worse than a bunch of mean, hateful women. They are diabolical in how than can skewer a person. I do not see that in men. The whole time I worked, I'd much rather have a male boss than a female boss. Double-minded, you never can trust them. Because women have the right to vote, I am active, because I want to make sure there is some sanity for women in the political world. It is up to the Christian rednecks and patriots to stand up for our country. Everyone has the right to vote now that's 18 or over (who is) a legal citizen, and every person that's 18 and over and a legal citizen should be active in local politics so they can make a change locally, make a change on the state level and make a change in Washington, D.C. God bless America. <> So... America "might have been better off" if the 19th Amendment had never been passed, because women are "diabolical in how they can skewer a person" which she claims to have never seen in a man. And "Christian rednecks and patriots" are going to be the saviors of our nation. Every time I hear or read one of these teabagging Southerners spout hypocritical nonsense like this, I want to push for legislation to cut off their Federal dollars. All of the Southern states like Mississippi take far more assistance from the Federal government than they give back in the form of taxes. So if these geniuses think Washington is soooo bad and evil, let them try to keep their citizens from revolting without Federal aid to fall back on.
