"Crazy Mazie Hirono, the ditzy senator from Hawaii, gleefully reported that she’d asked 8th graders if they thought the government should be telling women that they can’t have abortions and not a single student thought the government had that right.
For my part, I think the ignoramus should be kept out of 8th grade classrooms unless it’s for the purpose of taking remedial English.
It’s possible that Sen. Hirono is simply guilty of taking the New York Times far more seriously than anyone should. It was, after all, the rag formerly known as the paper of record that recently ran a headline that read: “Pregnancy Kills, Abortions Save Lives.”
It’s reminiscent of the first chapter of George Orwell’s “1984,” in which Big Brother’s slogans were listed: “War is Peace,” “Freedom is Slavery” and “Ignorance is Strength.”"
