1973 - The U.S. Supreme Court handed down the 'Roe v. Wade' decision, legalizing abortion.

I'm sure many Conservatives hate to hear me say this, but I am not an anti-abortion zealot or absolutist...But I am an abortion realist.

I'm pretty sure most Americans would be shocked to know there have been over 50,000,000 abortions in the U.S. since 1973...That's 50 million.  As in 50 million would-have-been-Americans eliminated before they were born.

There is no way to deny this is a fetal holocaust, and there is no way to deny this is a national shame...Even for those who can justify the practice.

What’s really sick is rapists, child molesters, murderers, Mexican wolfs, dung beetles, and thousands of other 'Liberal causes' have more rights than innocent unborn babies...I’m sure this makes me a radical, though, because I'm not willing to say abortion should be a right up until the time a baby is born, or that women shouldn't have other options as their primary option.

Just wait until the idea of post-term abortions becomes a thing.

1517 - The Ottoman Turks conquered Cairo, Egypt.

The Turks were in the process of completing the conquest of the Middle East and North Africa, and it wasn't long until they started taking chunks out of Europe...The Caliphate was getting a new hegemon, and the Ottomans proved to be one of the great forces of the era.

1917 - President Woodrow Wilson pleaded for an end to WWI, calling for "peace without victory."

"Peace without victory"???? I thought only a Euro, or the modern Democrat Party - which really was created by Wilson, could think like that.

Unfortunately, WWI ended without 'victory' for the Allies, because the Germans weren't defeated.  As a result, the 'peace' which followed WWI was a hollow one, and simply served as a timeout until WWII.

1944 - Operation Shingle. As part of the Italian Campaign, American troops landed at Anzio Beach in a move to outflank German defensive positions:  WWII.

The invasion of the German Empire moved from Africa to Europe, but didn't begin in total until June 6 at Normandy.

Stalin was pissed, and he was right. The Soviets were left to tie up as many German troops as possible, which made the eventual Normandy invasion less difficult than it would have been if the Germans could have devoted more troops to fight back the Allied invasion from France and Italy.

It also cost the Soviets a couple million deaths...Which is exactly what Uncle Joe deserved for dealing with the Nazi's in 1939.

1993 - On the 20th anniversary of the 'Roe v. Wade' decision, President Bill Clinton lifted a series of abortion restrictions imposed by his Republican predecessors.

Not enough babies were dying I guess.

1997 - The U.S. Senate confirmed Madeleine Albright as Secretary of State, the first woman to hold the office.

Congratulations Madeleine Halfbright, and thank you for thinking it was a good idea to appease the North Koreans, giving them nuclear material...America is much safer for having you in this position. NOT!!!!

Also, why is it a big deal when a Democrat 'woman' is placed in such a position, but a Republican 'woman' or 'minority' would be called a 'sell-out' or an 'Uncle Tom'?

1998 - Theodore John Kaczynski pleaded guilty to charges he was the 'Unibomber.'

What a POS...The same cannot be said for his brother, who put decency ahead of family and turned his brother in.

Oh, and lets not forget many of the Liberals who want unlimited fetal executions have a problem with pukes like Theodore being executed..."Lunatic Fringe, we all know you're out there." - Red Ryder.

1999 - President Bill Clinton called for spending $2.8 billion to protect the nation from cyber-terrorism, chemical and germ warfare.

Who was Bill worried about? I thought the Democrats have been saying there is no real threat of terrorism...Especially not against bio/chem terror. They said Bush was "fear mongering," and made it all up.

Bunch of lying, lunatic bastards.
