Socialized Medicine Is Not Pro-Choice

The Tim Tebow ad really brought the abortion issue to the forefront of the American conversation over the past couple weeks. The "pro-choice" lobby showed everyone its true colors by finding that ad outrageous.

Why wouldn't they be happy that a woman made a choice? Why wouldn't they appreciate that Tim Tebow was the result of that choice? They are pro-choice, right? Perhaps the ones that had a fit over the Tim Tebow ad are really just pro-abortion?

Grant Davies over at What We Think and Why had another epiphany about the pro-choice lobby in America while watching the Planned Parenthood response to the Tebow ad:

For his part, Joyner explains; "My daughter will always be my little girl." He goes on to say; "But I am proud everyday as I watch her grow up to be her own person, a smart, confident young woman. I trust her to take care of herself. We celebrate families by supporting our mothers, by supporting our daughters. By trusting women."

Except, of course, in all other matters concerning their health and lifestyle choices. For those decisions his daughter, mother and all other "strong and wise women" need government employees and political hacks making the tough calls. There is no way that these people could be so inconsistent in their views, right?

What a fantastic point! We need to make a political television / radio ad out of that right away! How can any person who claims to be pro-choice ever support socialized or fascist medicine? It is a fact that the Pelosi-Reid legislation in Congress does not leave it up to the woman to make her own choices about her own body. It puts those choices about her body in the hands of the government. Some consistency please?

Occupy Mordor or Destroy the Ring?

There has been mixed responses to Occupy Wall Street by libertarians. Some see the movement as a positive, while others see them as little more than lazy hipsters. But libertarians must be sensitive to why people feel the way they do about issues. The occupiers point out a legitimate concern that "the 1%" control vastly more power and wealth than "the 99%", and corporations have accumulated more power and privilege than is healthy for an open society. Some other concerns and demands are absurd, but the heart of the matter is on track. The question is why has this happened? While many on the left are quick to blame a nebulous thing called "greed", or lack of regulation, the matter is more complicated than that. This calls for a Lord of the Rings metaphor. Let's say that Sauron, the big cheese bad guy of Lord of the Rings, is the corporate hegemony. The 1%. Most people in Middle Earth agree that this is a problem, but there are a few differ...
