Well done!

During a July 17, 2007, speech before the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, then Sen. Barack Obama pledged: "The first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act." That is a bizarre way "to bring us together," another goal of his as president. When Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., reintroduced the FOCA in 2007, her press release triumphantly explained that this draconian definition of "Freedom of Choice" would mean:
"Women would have the absolute right to choose whether to continue or terminate their pregnancies before fetal viability, and that right would be protected by this legislation. The Freedom of Choice Act also supersedes any law, regulation or local ordinance that impinges on a woman's right to choose."
With regard to "fetal viability" – the ability to survive on his or her own – the ardent supporters of FOCA slide over the language in the surviving 2007 version of FOCA bill that, as Douglas Johnson of the National Right to Life Committee points out: "Contains no objective criteria for 'viability,' but rather, requires that the judgment regarding 'viability' be left entirely in the hands of 'the attending physician.'"
Guess who that would be? The abortionist!

When did you stop beating your captured Islamo-Nazi?
In a TV interview Sunday, ruler-elect Obama, who supports killing the unborn, killing the newborn, federally-funded sacrilege, Hollywood, gays in the military, bribery, thieving and lying, said he plans to "rebuild" America's "moral stature in the world." So, he's thinking of appointing Hillary Clinton as top diplomat. Moral-stature-rebuilding-wise, it's considered a big step forward since we all know how moral the Clintons can be. Hillary got passed over for VP and left-wing NOW hags are screaming for the appointment of a woman, so this must have nothing to do with any of that.
In the same "60 Minutes" interview, Obama also vowed to "stamp out al-Qaeda once and for all," and towards that end the terror-hunter plans to give al-Qaeda Habeas Corpus, stop dunking al-Qaeda and the Taliban in water to get useful information, close Guantanamo even before Tony Rezko finds new housing for the inmates, withdraw from Iraq and do warm, catchy singalongs with Ahmadinejad. Obama is already getting praised by Euroweenies for how he plans to mindlessly cut defense spending.
And to restore America's "moral stature" even more, Obama will stamp out AIDS once and for all by closing the Department Of Deadly Viruses To Be Used Against People Of Color, Especially African-Americans. Maybe pal Jeremiah Wright knows something about this since he's overseeing the shutdown -- immediately after leading us in opening and closing prayers at the inaugural.
Liberals believe "moral stature" means getting applause from France and being loved by the Germans for trashing America. Libbies consider trashing America to be the ultimate expression of "true patriotism". It really gets their patriotism to kick in. (Coming in a close second is having your taxes raised.) In fact, liberals like Madonna spend so much time bad-mouthing America, our "moral stature" would scale new heights if ace ignoramuses like her would simply shut up for a week.
Regarding the imaginary horrors at Gitmo, Obama told "60 Minutes" that "I'm going to make sure we don't torture." Disemboweling and torturing human beings in the birth canal, yes, but never those peaceful little darling Muslims plucked from the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq. On the basis of zero evidence, Obama insists that "torture" is occurring at Gitmo -- but the opposite is the case, sadly. As notorious Free Republic spammer "JohnHuang2" wrote some months ago: "Liberals scream that Bush is running an Auschwitz-Birkenau down in Guantanamo, yet, for all the torturing Bush's doing, you wouldn't know it from your run-of-the-mill Gitmo jailbird who typically puts on 13 pounds while being "tortured" and "starved" to death there. The typical Gitmo menu STILL consists of culturally sensitive fresh fruit, honey-glazed chicken, rice pilaf, steamed peas and mushrooms, ginger chicken breast and lemon-baked fish -- all of it prepared by top-notch Navy cooks who run the death camp's kitchens."
If moral stature is your bag, the U.S. ponies up a good chunk for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and something like 2 million folks in Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe and the Caribbean are getting treatment through fascist Bushitler's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, even as the Great Satan cranks out a majority of the world's food aid and spends hundreds of millions in aid to the displaced people of Darfur while doling out almost a billion bucks helping tsunami victims, sending earthquake relief to Pakistan, aiding the displaced people of Georgia, sending $29 million in storm relief to Haiti, doubling aid to Latin America, bringing $60 million in debt relief to poor countries -- but Obama is upset that three Hannibal Lector types in Guantanamo got roughed up during interrogations. And didn't even get their John Edwards lawyers either.
Bush's 'immoral' foreign policy has liberated 60 million people from tyranny, but Obama is worried that the folks who danced and cheered on 9/11 and hacked Daniel Pearl's head off (then made a snuff video out of it) still don't like us. It's so important for a global superpower to be liked by homicidal Islamic maniacs seeking its demise. If Obama's 'Walk softly, and carry a big carrot' approach fails, try a bigger carrot.
From the looks of things, Obama's main achievement during the next four years will be to catapult past Jimmy Carter as Worst President Ever, doing just about everything humanly possible to avoid being competent, even as we discover how far up their posteriors Obama's jihad/Iranian-mullah-hugging supporters can wedge their heads when the Shia hits the fan. But enough about the media.
If Obama is to implement a number of disasters in his campaign platform, he won't have an easy go of it. Leafing through just some of the loony items Zero thinks he has ready to roll, whether it's hiking taxes to 'fix' the recession, hiking taxes to 'stop' "climate change", snuffing out the coal industry to 'fix' the energy problem, doling bailouts, doling still more bailouts to bailout the bailouts in the first round of bailouts, Sovietizing health care, resurrecting Smoot-Hawley, flipping off allies, fleeing Iraq, letting Iran get The Bomb, letting Gitmo inmates walk, playing patty-cake with his Three Amigos (Chavez, Castro, Ahmadinejad), wimp-o responses to Putin, scrubbing 'simpleton' Reagan's missile defense, inserting gays into the military, shrinking the military -- it's all the same corner the ruler-in-waiting has painted himself into.
But, don't worry, the press will stay on top of this. The Associated Press sums up the cold realities that await the messiah by cranking out a story entitled, "Cold realities await Gov. Sarah Palin in Alaska".
Anyway, that's...
My Two Cents...

Shouldn’t it really be called the “Kill It Before It Gets Away Act”?
Come on, nobody wants to be punished with a child! /s
Well, The Most Merciful and Almighty is already the “third” trimester baby killer. The whole goddamn democratic party is now firmly entrenched as the party of the baby killers . . . how any family person or any Christian (Ohio’s Strickland, an “ordained Methodist minister for example) can identify himself as a Democrat is beyond me. They are the party of the unborn and newly born murderers . . . and nothing else but.
That post should be published on the front page of FR.
“That is a bizarre way ‘to bring us together’”
I will never sacrifice my conservative views and principles on the altar of “coming together.” That’s nothing more than a euphemism for “everyone drink the kool-aid.”
“Come on, nobody wants to be punished with a child! /s”
Obama is despicable. I still have problems wrapping my mind around the fact that a$$hole won the presidency. This sh!t coming down starting 20 Jan sometimes keeps me awake at night. I still can’t believe the majority of voters found him acceptable.
This was hardly an issue in the campaign. O voters didn’t want to know the truth. Even some who are pro choice should be repelled by this. And to those who are pro life and knowingly voted for O anyway, then all those abortions will be on their hands.
Despite his pro life position, Hentoff had previously said he was voting for Obama too, because he respected Biden’s support of civil liberties! Pretty flimsy excuse. I thought in this piece Hentoff would say he regretted his decision but he does not. So what exactly is his point??
I’m with you on this one, totally. How could anyone have given him their vote??? I still cannot believe it. I actually thought McCain/Palin had a chance to pull this one out based on all the info that was out there on the false messiah. I’ve had a few nightmares since election night and I know I’m not the only one.
“His Eminence James Francis Cardinal Stafford criticized President-elect Barack Obama as “aggressive, disruptive and apocalyptic,’ and said he campaigned on an ‘extremist anti-life platform,’ Thursday night in Keane Auditorium during his lecture ‘Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II: Being True in Body and Soul.’”
“’Because man is a sacred element of secular life,’ Stafford remarked, ‘man should not be held to a supreme power of state, and a person’s life cannot ultimately be controlled by government.’”
“’For the next few years, Gethsemane will not be marginal. We will know that garden,’ Stafford said, comparing America’s future with Obama as president to Jesus’ agony in the garden. ‘On November 4, 2008, America suffered a cultural earthquake.’”
“Cardinal Stafford said Catholics must deal with the ‘hot, angry tears of betrayal’ by beginning a new sentiment where one is ‘with Jesus, sick because of love.’”
Thanks, "Yosemite" McLame. We are all relieved by your 'words of wisdom'./sarcasm
Pro-Life PING

Brilliantly said. I’m’a steal as much of that as I can get my hands on...
“How serious are they? So serious that they won’t bother to sell the hospitals. They’ll shut them down and take the losses in order to prevent their use as abortion clinics. To do otherwise, the bishops stated, would be to cooperate in the evil of abortions.
What kind of impact would that have? The Catholic Church is one of the nation’s biggest health-care providers. In 2007, they ran 557 hospitals that serviced over 83 million patients. The church also had 417 clinics that saw over seven million patients. If they shut down almost a thousand hospitals and clinics nationwide, the US would not just lose a significant portion of available health care, but the poor and working-class families that received the health care would have fewer options.
Also, the Catholic Church runs this on a non-profit basis, spending vast sums of its money to ensure access for those unable to pay. That’s the kind of model that many on the Left believe should exclusively provide health care — and FOCA would spell the end of the major provider already in that model.”

FOCA, as it stands now, would force Catholic hospitals, and pro-life nurses and doctors, to perform abortions.
