Among the Pagan Ladies
By George Neumayr
WASHINGTON -- Sunday's "March for Women's Lives" made maximum usage of
euphemism, invoking "choice" whenever marchers meant killing. They, for
example, used placards to convey the lament that Barbara Bush hadn't killed
her son in the womb. "If Only Barbara Bush Had Choice," read one sign.
"Barbara Chose Poorly," read another. Marchers were also disappointed that
the Pope's mother hadn't killed him in the womb. "The Pope's Mother Had No
Choice," said a sign.
The repulsive heretic Francis Kissling of the sham "Catholics for Free
Choice" named the Pope as "the worst enemy of choice." Kissling called the
vile event on the national mall a "sacred place," the "place to be, not the
churches."
One could call the Sunday march a festival of paganism, but that's probably
not fair to ancient pagans. Worshippers of Baal would have regarded it as a
little too depraved for their taste. If C-SPAN covered the event, it must
have had to black and beep out much of it. It sounded like a sustained FCC
violation and many of the placards were too baldly obscene (usually twisting
the president and vice presidents' names in various vulgar concoctions) for
any newspaper to report.
Not that the dominant media would report them anyway. No doubt they will
cast the march as mainstream and American as apple pie, a reflection of
widespread bourgeois dismay with the Bush administration. But few families
could be found in this crowd. The march should have been renamed a "March
for Lesbians' Lives." A group called the "Lesbian avengers" were out in
force, as were "Christian Dykes for Choice." There was an awful lot of talk
about "reproductive rights" from people not known for reproducing. Though to
be fair, the crowd was a bit more polymorphous than that. "Bisexual Breeders
for Choice" made an appearance.
Upset at the growing perception that they are godless degenerates, marchers
tried to wrap themselves in religion as much as possible. Planned Parenthood
now has a chaplain. And march organizers cobbled together other phony
religious fronts for abortion, such as "Religious Coalition for Reproductive
Choice." "You don't own religion," one speaker said to the "religious
reich." A female rabbi appeared on the podium to say that she was "pro-God,
pro-choice." The marchers know that God blesses the abortion of unborn
children because God is a woman. "I asked God. She's pro-choice," was a
popular sign. And they are now theological enough to place Satan on the same
ticket as George Bush -- the "Bush/Satan" administration.
Separation-of-church-state advocate Barry Lynn, whom the media insist on
calling a "reverend" but is obviously a fraud, also described the protest as
a "hallowed space." But though they wanted to turn God into an abortion
activist and enlist the support of as many churches and religions as
possible -- "Episcopalians for Choice," "This Is What a Jewish Feminist
Looks Like" were signs seen in the crowd -- the marchers could not resist
certain anti-religious chants. "Tax the church, tax the church" followed the
attacks of Kissling and others on the Pope and the Catholic Church.
The emcee of the event told the crowd that "I wanted to be your dominatrix
this morning." Then, before introducing Hillary Clinton, she said, "Estrogen
levels on this mall have reached levels we enjoy." A blast of applause
greeted Clinton. She was in head-counting ward-boss mode, urging marchers to
vote for the Democratic ticket in the fall. "Thank you, President Clinton,"
the emcee said to her when she finished.
Speakers called the event the largest "march in history," and claimed a
"million marchers." They were only off by about 700,000 (if the press's
generous 300,000 figure is accurate). Just as the marchers used "preachers"
as props of credibility, they dragooned children into service as well.
Children festooned with pro-abortion pins wandered around. And then there
were the "respectable elderly," old fools marching with signs like "Another
Granny for Choice."
The anti-globalization march from Saturday supplied a few stragglers to fill
out Sunday's march, as evident in the numerous socialist booths set up on
the mall. The two marches melded well enough. Marchers equated "choice" not
just with abortion but with all the government programs they seek. They
don't simply want abortion permitted but also paid for. Marchers called for
"free abortion on demand" and held signs saying "abortion rights, welfare
rights." Bush was blamed for all their woes. They even blamed "eugenics and
sterilization" on the Bush administration -- a topic Margaret Sanger might
have advised them to avoid.

ideology coupled with a system that believed in the superiority of the state
at the expense of the individual was murderously synergistic.

Nope. I misrepresented absolutely nothing.
It is true that I snipped it. It is true that you altered it by adding
this:

at the expense of the individual was murderously synergistic.
And it is true that you spammed copyrighted material to usenet.
