cause and effect

Cause-“kids who are engaging in homosexual behavior often look inward and know that what they are doing is unnatural, is wrong, is immoral, and so they become depressed and the instances of suicide can rise there as well.” Liberty Counsel’s Matt Barber works for both Liberty University and Liberty Counsel.(msnbc.com)

Effect-While inside McDonald's in NYC Damian noticed 2 men staring at him – giving him “looks” – we have all been there, we know what this feels like. It was late, Damian was tired, he felt uncomfortable and he didn’t want any trouble so he left. He was across the street, walking away while on the phone to a friend when the 2 men from McDonalds approached him and asked him “if he had a problem” before he knew it he was punched in the face by one man, then instantly felt another punch by the second perp, and then he heard it – “You Fucking Faggot” , the words as hurtful as the punches.(msnbc.com)

Cause and effect

Call them names and make them the reason for your own inadequate life. Say it is unGodlike and in your own Godly ill mannered machinations, take his divine word and act like the devil. As long as I can still place you one rung beneath me I don't have to worry that you will notice my inhuman behavior. If I have them point at you I can weasel my way through one more lousy day in my life.

Cause-If Governor Scott Walker's concerns are truly budgetary, he could do a lot without pushing for complete abolition of public sector unions. He has the support, both from the legislature and the public, to pare back state employee benefits. It represents a pittance in the context of the budget (employee salaries make up 8 percent of total state spending, and benefits represent much less than that), but if he wants to do it, he can do so easily.

That's why it's important to understand that the motivation to push for aboliiton is primarily political, and bears little relation to fiscal concerns. Public sector unions are a powerful Democratic interest group, and their funding comes from member dues. There is nothing that would give Republicans more pleasure than to cut one of their largest political opponents off from its funding source, and there is no better time to make that move than amidst hysteria about impending fiscal crisis.(Isthmus-the Daily page).

Effect-Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), a leader of the Tea Party movement and veritable kingmaker for conservative candidates, made no bones about his desire to diminish the power of public employees. DeMint told ThinkProgress that he “doesn’t believe collective bargaining has any place in government…including at the federal level.” The South Carolina senator then went on to call public employees’ unions an “unelected third party” that enjoyed “monopoly power” in negotiations. “It just doesn’t make any sense,” DeMint quipped(msnbc.com)

Cause and Effect-Lie about your true intentions. Find a scapegoat, someone a group of someone's who you embolden with strengths they really never possess, but strength you desire and want. Destroy any power that equalizes the worker from the king. Say it isn't American or Christian, demand that wanting something fair is the most unfair thing a democracy is all about.

Cause-South Dakota today became the first state in the country to require women seeking an abortion to visit anti-abortion counseling centers. Gov. Dennis Daugaard (R) signed legislation that is precedent-setting in several ways. It also mandates a 72-hour waiting period – the longest in the country – and requires two visits to a physician and a screening for risk factors, in addition to the visit to a pregnancy crisis center.

Effect-With one bullet, a gunman ended the life and the controversial career of abortion doctor George Tiller, killing him as he stood in the foyer of his church Sunday. "Today we mourn the loss of our husband, father and grandfather. Today's event is an unspeakable tragedy for all of us and for George's friends and patients.

"This is particularly heart wrenching because George was shot down in his house of worship, a place of peace.

Protesters blockaded Tiller's clinic during Operation Rescue's "Summer of Mercy" protests during the summer of 1991, and Tiller was shot by Rachelle Shannon at his clinic in 1993. Tiller was wounded in both arms. Shannon remains in prison.

The clinic was bombed in June 1986 and was severely vandalized last month. His lawyer said wires to security cameras and outdoor lights were cut and that the vandals also cut through the roof and plugged the buildings' downspouts. Rain poured through the roof and caused thousands of dollars of damage in the clinic. Tiller reportedly asked the FBI to investigate the incident.(the Washington Eagle)

Cause and Effect-Demand that your holier than thou trumps anything holy that God might mean for anyone but you. Insist that it is your interpretation of the Bible and God's will that is correct, because among other things you are capable of more violent and virulent rhetoric and response. Decide that you are the one that God has decided to run his business on Earth. And above all else ignore any laws of the democratic nation that just don't jive with your own prejudices and ignorance.

We have among us, those who cause change, create chaos, challenge the Constitution never once caring about the consequences. They are indignant insistent and insidious in maintaining life as they and only they see it is fit to be lived. They swear they know the meaning of the Testaments and understand what the Founding Fathers of this nation meant and did not mention. They use the pulpits of Preachers, Pastors, Popes and Rabbi's to teach bigotry and bias. They care little for fact if it hurts their point of view and rely heavily on fiction to spread fear and loathing. They are relentless to create division and like a vampire looking into a mirror refuse to see their own heinous and hypocrisy for fear they will explode in smoke and fire.

They cause terror, angst, harm and fear. Their cause effects many of us with acts of violence, suicide, loneliness, poverty, denial. They hide in packs and claim they are of higher moral and ethical standards and never apologize for any or all chaos they create. And above all they think there is are no consequences for their behavior.

And in 2010 we elected them into power.
