Perhaps one of the reasons the White House only now did the reveal on the president’s birth certificate was to allow enough time for these people to more deeply invest in this idiotic talking point.

We--Fecke and Pieklo's readers--have to pretend it's nothing but a coincidence that their moral assessments operate in lockstep with their political priorities. You're not allowed to say that's weird.

The Pieklo-Fecke ur-value

"Others are required to take our moralistic and character judgements at face value."

As I mind-read the crowd, I think a portion here might claim the group to be non-religious--but one cannot seriously assert this: I've heard two impassioned Jesus-Christ peons in a row--with apparent 100% participation. If you want your group to be credibly non-religious, you would need to send an open message to meeting participants: We will not engage in group prayer specific to any one religion, from this moment forward.

Rep. Jenifer Loon, similarly, often addresses the public as families--a formulation against which citizens would, in a more perfect union, push back [as the 'unwitting' quality of its dissing-the-unfamilyed looks nakedly insincere].

Crazy Cold Way Down There

By Jeff Fecke | March 31, 2011

I don’t even know what to say about this. I’m going to have to write something. But the level of evil here is breathtaking:

On December 23, 2010, [Bei Bei] Shuai, a 34-year-old pregnant woman who was suffering from a major depressive disorder, attempted to take her own life. Friends found her in time and persuaded her to get help. Six days later, Shuai underwent cesarean surgery and delivered a premature newborn girl who, tragically, died four days later.

On March 14, 2011, Shuai was arrested, jailed, and charged with murder and attempted feticide. Had Shuai, who is being represented by National Advocates for Pregnant Women and local attorneys, not been pregnant when she attempted suicide, she would not have been charged with any crime at all.

As someone who’s suffered depression and attempted suicide, I can tell you that this is as profoundly evil as anything I can imagine.

I’m gonna go eat, and cry about where this country is heading these days. For your listening enjoyment, the incomparable Laura Nyro.

Prof. Pieklo has acknowledged suffering from depression--the same psychiatric malady, she has said, which took her mother's life.
