She was pivotal in unleashing the abortion holocaust that has slain tens of millions of humans.

I'm glad she repented and her soul can be saved, but she is not a hero

She was not responsible.  She didn't even have an abortion - she placed the child for adoption.  She was used and when she understood how and for what she was used, she fought against the pro-abortion activists.

Exactly.  They used her maliciously, and as you say, she never had an abortion.

The pro-abortion left is as evil as any group of people in this country.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

An irony to contemplate.
Today the woman who enabled the USSC decide that a woman's right to privacy included the right to murder her unborn baby.
And today the Blink Sheik, father of the first WTC bombing in 93 died in prison.

She didn't 'enable' the USSC to do anything.

She was maliciously used to allow the evil left to enact that vile "law," never had an abortion, and went on to be a tremendous spokeswoman for the Right to Life.

She was a tool. If not her, there would have been another.

Who said anything about "hero"? Rejoice that a blind sinner saw the light of truth. That is a good thing.
Yes, all the way around.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Richard Schickel, Influential Time Magazine Film Critic, Dies at 84

Quote
Richard Schickel, the longtime film critic for Time magazine who also wrote 37 books, mostly on film, and directed a number of documentaries on film subjects, died on Saturday in Los Angeles of complications from a series of strokes, his family told the Los Angeles Times. He was 84.

“He was one of the fathers of American film criticism,” his daughter, writer Erika Schickel, told the Times. “He had a singular voice. When he wrote or spoke, he had an old-fashioned way of turning a phrase. He was blunt and succinct both on the page and in life.”

He wrote and/or directed more than 30 documentaries, mostly for television.

Just saw that she had passed away.  I too wondered where she had gone and missed her.  I had no idea she was sick with cancer.  Tears ran down my face as I watched Cavuto's tribute to her.  My whole family enjoyed watching her host Bulls and Bears.

Guitarist Larry Coryell, Godfather Of Fusion, Dies At 73

Quote
Larry Coryell, the jazz guitarist known as the "Godfather of Fusion," died Sunday night at a hotel in
New York City, according to his publicist. He was 73.

Coryell was still performing more than 50 years after his first recordings. He played at New York jazz club
Iridium on Friday and Saturday night, and had plans for a summer tour with his fusion group The Eleventh
House.

Coryell's recordings in the late 1960s, first with his band the Free Spirits, then with the Gary Burton Quartet
and finally as a bandleader, predicted the rise of jazz-rock fusion and contributed to the sonic evolution the
genre. It's no wonder that snippets of his work were sampled by renowned producers, including J Dilla and
DJ Shadow.

On the NPR program Billy Taylor's Jazz, Dr. Taylor described Coryell as such: "[Larry] plays all the styles, Latin,
jazz-rock, straight ahead jazz, European classical music. You name it, he's a master of it."

In 1970, after two records under his own name, Coryell recorded the groundbreaking fusion album Spaces.
The project featured fellow guitarist John McLaughlin, pianist Chick Corea on keyboards, bassist Miroslav
Vitouš on bass and drummer Billy Cobham.

The guitarist's '70s output totaled more than 20 albums as either a leader or co-leader. Coryell briefly worked
with McLaughlin in The Guitar Trio in 1979, but was replaced after a year by Al Di Meola due a drug addiction.

Despite a decline in critical attention, Coryell remained remarkably productive through the 1980s and beyond.
He performed on more than 100 albums, and was due to release an Eleventh House record in June of this year.

Coryell leaves behind his wife, Tracey, daughters Annie and Allegra, sons Murali and Julian, and six
grandchildren.

Walter "Junie" Morrison, who played keyboards in Funkadelic and the Ohio Players, died on Saturday. His daughter, Akasha, reported the news via the artist's Facebook page. The details surrounding his death have not yet been made public. He was 62.

Parliament-Funkadelic legend on why he admires Flying Lotus and Thundercat, how hip-hop saved his career, and what's next

"It is with great sadness that the Ohio Players have lost on this earth another one of the original members of the band Walter 'Junie' Morrison," the group's James "Diamond" Williams wrote on Facebook. "When I got in the band in 1972 he was my roommate on the road and a brother-in-law, at one time being married to my wife's sister. The voice of granny in the funky worm, an incredibly talented individual ... RIP PLAYER 4 Life. We send our condolences to his family and his friends and fans."

Didn't agree with any of his politics, but he always approached the debate respectfully.

RIP.
How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

I had no idea he was still alive.
