My last podcast for the week deals with several subjects suggested by readers.

First, I attempt to debunk what I have decided is the very dumbest pro-abortion argument in the arsenal of dumb pro-abortion arguments. That is, the "argument" that pro-lifers have no right to defend the inherent worth and dignity of all human life unless we, personally, are willing to adopt or otherwise subsidize every unwanted baby in the world. "If you won't pay for this baby, then you can't co...mplain when he's murdered," is the logic.

Like I said, it's stupid. But it's also common enough and apparently convincing enough to warrant a response.

Second podcast for the week. I answer several emails, but the first is from a pro-abort who articulates one of the most common, and also perhaps the dumbest (and that's saying something), pro-abortion arguments. I'm sure you guys have heard it before. She tells me that unless I'm willing to adopt all of the unwanted babies, then I should stop complaining about abortion. She calls me "pro-birth" not pro-life, because I'm not able to subsidize the livelihood of every unwanted c...hild in the entire world.

Essentially, the argument is more of a ransom demand. "Subsidize this baby or he dies." It's so absurd that it's hardly worth a response, but we're living in a culture that believes a lot of absurd things. Either we ignore it all and stop engaging completely, or we have to start explaining why even the most ridiculous ideas are false. That's what I attempt to do here.

I also answer emails on a number of other subjects:

According to the Air Force, it's a violation of the separation of Church and State to have a Bible on your desk.

This is several miles beyond absurd.

My friends, this is real. This is a real paragraph written by a completely sincere liberal, who is, I'm informed, a real person. It's from a left wing feminist LGBT website. Apparently, this site wrote a favorable review of Seth Rogen's latest crappy movie, Sausage Party. For those who aren't aware, Sausage Party is a nihilistic R-rated cartoon about a bunch of talking food items. The fact that such a movie is a blockbuster hit in the United States is a different sad story al...l to itself. That's not the point here.

This website initially published a complimentary analysis of the film, probably swept away by its atheistic message. However, readers immediately complained. It seems they were offended by many aspects of the film and the review, but they were particularly aghast at the reviewer's blatant disrespect for the lesbian taco character. That's what lead to this paragraph. It's among a dozen other paragraphs that are similarly tragic and hilarious. Later on in the article, the editor apologizes for being "blinded by her whiteness" and admits that she's been "conditioned by a system of white supremacy." She then fell to the floor and gave herself 50 lashes. On another note, "Blinded By Your Whiteness" sounds like a romantic song from the soundtrack to a Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks film from 1996.

Anyway, liberalism has descended so far into insanity that it cannot be satirized or parodied anymore. All we can do is sit back, mouth agape, and laugh. Then when we're done laughing, we should weep over the realization that our kids will grow up in a country where paragraphs like this exist:

Many people were confused when this nonsensical post went up on my Facebook page around 11:30 last night. It's only the letter "h" four times, but it was provocative enough to garner over 200 comments and 25 shares. Many of the comments were of a humorous and sarcastic nature. As someone who would never stoop so low as to employ sarcasm, I must say that I am, frankly, offended.

Now, I feel I should explain why I published this startling and mysterious message in the first pla...ce. No, it was not a butt dial situation. No, my kids did not get a hold of my phone. My kids have never been awake at 11:30 and never will be. Their bedtime will be 8 PM until they're in their mid 30's, as far as I'm concerned.

The real reason is that I've actually gone insane. This election has finally taken its toll on me. My mind can no longer cope with reality. It's simply too much to bear. I was watching the news last night when suddenly I sprang out of my seat and began running in circles around the room, drooling and tearing out my hair and screaming in something that sounded like pig latin. That's when I took out my phone and began posting incoherent messages to my social media accounts. I explained to my wife that the aliens had hacked into my brain. Then I went outside and started marching down the middle of the street, waving my shirt in the air, weeping and laughing and yelling that the end times are upon us.

So that explains my Facebook post. Perhaps I am the first to be driven insane by this campaign season, but I will not be the last. By November, I believe we'll all be running shirtless through the streets.

Finally, the aliens have requested that I add in closing: aonobib uqibwr808 qiub 19hf u#%@T 45Qf a

This kind of thing is always tough for me. On one hand, when a liberal celebrity becomes the victim of a left wing PC witch hunt, I can't really muster any sympathy. Live by political correctness, die by political correctness. Reap what you sow and all that.

On the other hand, I really deplore this instinct to call everything under the Sun racist, and I really struggle to tolerate people who can't take a joke. Granted, Ellen's jokes aren't very funny. Not because they're offe...nsive, but because they're mostly witless. But they aren't racist, anyway.

So, in the interests of consistency, I must in the end come to Ellen's defense. She's not a racist. Actually, it turns out that not everything is racist. Some things are not racist, believe it or not.

Some people said this podcast is racist. You can listen yourself and tell me where the racist part happens.

But I guess everything is racist these days. Even something as simple as encouraging personal responsibility is racist.

Personally, I think it would be racist to NOT expect accountability and responsibility from certain groups, or to expect it more from one than the other.

...

To me, the least racist message is the one I communicate here, which is this: everyone take charge of your lives and your communities, and accept the blame for your own failures. That's about as unifying and color blind as it gets:

In my podcast today I discuss my radical theory that human beings are responsible for their own decisions, and should be accountable for them. We happen to live in a society where nobody will accept blame for anything they do, and every failure we suffer as individuals or as a group must always be the fault of a "the system" or some other collection of shadowy, anonymous villains.

Meanwhile, we continue to make self-destructive decisions, living lifestyles that do not bring ...us joy or fulfillment, and on top of it all, voting a steady stream of crooks and imbeciles into office. We do all of this on purpose, with full agency over our choices, but then we turn around and complain that "they" are destroying the country and our lives.

No, it's not "they." It's us. You. Me. Individuals. Maybe if we all just accepted the smallest smidgen of personal responsibility, things may finally start to turn around :

Yes, the title is startling. That's intentional. The abortion industry drapes itself in so many code words and euphemisms, and I've always believed that the best way to counter that is to just come out and speak about the evil of abortion as directly and plainly as possible.

So, directly and plainly, Planned Parenthood has murdered literally millions of children who were born into the same kind of situation as Simone Biles. Her birth mother was poor, struggling, drug addicte...d. Planned Parenthood targets those kinds of women specifically, and thus it targets babies like Simone, specifically. It concentrates its abortion empire in poor black neighborhoods because it knows it can make a fast buck by exploiting the desperate and hopeless feelings of women like Simone's biological mother.

She chose life. And because she chose life, we see again what wondrous feats a child of unfortunate circumstances can accomplish. And when we look at that and reflect upon it, we realize the amazing potential of all human life, and we understand why all life should be protected and respected.

Planned Parenthood cares nothing for that potential. It will take a woman's money and murder her child. It doesn't care that her child was a miracle who could have contributed to the world in ways that we can't possibly imagine:

Simone Biles is now a world famous American Olympian and, according to people who know a lot more about the subject than I do, perhaps the greatest gymnast of all time. Her story is incredible and inspiring. All the more inspiring when you consider how fortunate she was to even be born at all.

Simone's mother was a poor, black drug addict. She was not prepared to be a mother. She was exactly the kind of woman Planned Parenthood preys upon. Exactly the kind of mother the abort...ion industry makes its millions by manipulating and exploiting. And Simone Biles was exactly the kind of baby Planned Parenthood specifically dedicates itself to exterminating.

The fact is this: Planned Parenthood has centered its entire business around murdering children like Simone Biles. Her mother rejected the lies of the abortion industry and chose life instead, thank God, and now we see what her daughter has done with that gift. We see what a person can do if they escape the bloody grasp of Planned Parenthood.

How many of the millions of other poor black children executed by Planned Parenthood could have gone on to conquer the world like Simone? All human beings have incredible potential. Planned Parenthood snuffs out that potential and tosses its victims in a dumpster. But when that potential is protected and preserved, just look at what happens:

You probably heard that a bunch of Black Lives Matter thugs rioted in Milwaukee last night, looting businesses, vandalizing vehicles, attacking cops, targeting white people, and setting random fires throughout the city.

As we've learned, some members of the Black Lives Matter community think it a wise decision to destroy their own communities in order to protest "police brutality." Because nothing says "Black lives matter" more than burning a black neighbor to the ground.

I...n any case, this "protest" erupted because a black suspect had been shot and killed by cops earlier in the day. The mob of fools took to the streets without waiting for a single solitary fact to be released. They knew, quite literally, nothing. They heard that a guy was black and he was shot. That's all.

Well, now we know a little more. We know that the dead suspect is Syville Smith. You can see his picture here, peacefully pointing a gun at the camera. He was, as you can tell from the picture, a thug with a lengthy arrest record. He was shot because he fled from the police during a traffic stop, then when pursued, he turned and pointed a loaded firearm at an officer. The officer fired. Syville was killed. The officer, by the way, is black.

So, a black cop killed a black gangbanger who tried to shoot him. And that was enough to prompt a night of chaos across another major American city, yet again necessitating the mobilization of the National Guard.

This is just insane. There is no logic to any of this.

Racism? The cop was black.

Police brutality? The guy pointed a loaded gun at the cops.

Systematic oppression? It wasn't the system that caused Syville Smith to raise a firearm against the police.

No, you can't look for sanity or coherence here. These are just a bunch of imbeciles looking for an excuse to burn things. Nothing more. If they start up again tonight, I hope the police arrest every last one of them.

Enough. We have laws in this country. You can't act like an animal without consequences. Syville Smith learned that lesson yesterday.

"Consider how quickly many adults have been taken in by even the most extreme left wing doctrines. Most grown ups I meet are basically incapable of explaining why the left is wrong about “transgenderism,” and even fewer have the courage to oppose the narrative publicly. Yet we expect kindergartners to have the intelligence and the fortitude to take that stand? We expect kids to accept the shame and social alienation that come as a result of their allegiance to God and truth? ...We expect them to succeed where whole generations of adults have failed so miserably? We expect them to embrace the hatred of their peers and their superiors for the sake of their faith, when most of us won’t even be open about our beliefs on Facebook for fear of the rude comments and disapproving emojis? We expect a kid in fourth grade to have the courage and wherewithal that most adults in their forties have never shown? No. That’s not fair. It’s unreasonable. It’s too much to ask of a child. It’s just too much to ask.

In my latest podcast I make an argument that seems absurd, only because we're so used to thinking about this issue in the wrong way. I do believe that the government should "legislate morality," and in fact I believe that everyone who isn't an anarchist agrees. Even if they don't know they agree.

I explain what I mean here:
