There is irrational…and then there is clinically insane. And
then there is bat-shit crazy. And then
there is
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). AOC, who is demonstrably not A-OK,
recently tweeted: “To the GOP extremists trying to invoke the unborn’ to jail
people for abortion: Where are you on climate change? OH right, you want to
burn fossil fuels til there’s hell on
Earth. If they were truthful about their motives, they’d be consistent
in their principles. They’re not.”
She added: “What angers me about the GOP’s
attempts to turn the United States into a far-right Christian theocracy is how
dishonest they are about it. At least be forthright about your desire to
subvert and dismantle our democracy into a creepy theological order led by a
mad king.”
Still not
satisfied with the preposterousness of her statements, she blathered: “The GOP
doesn’t care about babies at all - especially brown, black, or poor ones. If
they did, they’d: - cosponsor the Green New Deal or at LEAST have a real
climate plan - guarantee healthcare so ALL can get prenatal care - not stand
for the death+caging of babies on our border.”
AOC thinks it is “extreme” to protect
the life of babies still in the womb? (Or maybe those outside the womb for a
relatively short period of time). And she is convinced Republicans are
fervently hoping to create a “hell on Earth?” Is she unaware that Republicans
dwell here, too? She’s a big fan of abortion on demand but is worried about the
health of babies coming across our border? Her idea of “prenatal care” is to
guarantee the “right” of the mother to extinguish the life of her baby, yet she
is aghast that Republicans won’t back a bill that would necessarily impoverish countless
millions and condemn untold numbers of children to needless hardship? What was
that about being consistent in one’s principles, Rep. Occasional-Cortex?
If the GOP is attempting to turn the
U.S. into a “far-right Christian theocracy” headed by a “creepy theological
order led by a mad king,” it has failed miserably. A lower percentage of
Americans than ever before identify as Christians. Gay marriage is nearly
universally accepted. The transgendered are winning legal battles and claiming
bathroom rights around the fruited plain. Christian churches are being
shuttered as Mosques are being built. Etc., etc.
AOC’s staggering ignorance and/or
hypocrisy shines brightest in her remark that “The GOP doesn’t care about
babies at all - especially brown, black, or poor ones.” Yes, that is clear from
its attempts to keep them from being exterminated. The vast majority of babies
aborted are “persons of color,” from poor parents, females, or some combination
of these.
It is the Democratic Party that
doesn’t care about babies at all—especially the brown, black or poor ones. If
they did, they’d cosponsor anti-abortion legislation or at least have a real
abortion plan.
