No litmus tests-Victory first

Ditto on most items.

Abortion and Africa

Respectfully I submit that Abortion IS All or Nothing....That is the outcome for the preborn All (Life) or Nothing (Death).

As for Africa:
German Media, Starving African Children and America Bashing.

Naumann: Bush "does not give a damn" about "the dying of millions of children in Africa" [click for full article]
(Posted by Joerg W in Transatlantic Relations on Saturday, November 11. 2006)

Michael Naumann, one of the editors of the respected weekly Die Zeit, writes about American achievements in the past, what Germany owes the US, that Germans have been "Americanized" (in a good sense) and would be valuable partners to solve global issues. Naumann is optimistic that now -- after the midterm elections -- Europeans and Americans will continue a dialogue on those issues "George W. Bush did not give a damn: global environmental problems, disarmament, fighting hunger and the dying of millions of children in Africa.":

Our Response:

So the massive corruption of the Africans is in no way responsible for the starving african children...it is all the fault of George Bush and The United States?

While one could come up with many ways to excuse this behavior I must point out that one of the premier signs of Arrested Development is the lack of personal responsibility or in effect not accepting ones circumstances as outcomes of ones behavior(s) and choice(s).

When it IS always the fault of others and never the persecuted "victim" or 'martyr" fault you should have warning signals blaring in your head!

When a socio-pathological destructive pattern of behavior continues over the course of decades one cannot merely dismiss it as a passing phase or blame it on one two term American president.

Everyone of us has gone through goodtimes and badtimes but we took responsibility and action to correct the situation(s) and in many instances with the assistance of our allies without blaming others or making the problem that of others.

Personal Responsibility Does Start At Home!
