Actually, after reading that I have a strong hunch that he is my brother, a brother in Christ that is.
I had the very same feeling. From his statement there are two things we know about him that are certain,.... he's honest, and he has courage--and lots of it.
SPOTREP!!! L'Chaim
As Coburn so forcefully pointed out, the abortion debate is about choice alright. You can be on the side of convenience, or CONSCIENCE!
God bless Senator Coburn!
Coburn/Tancredo, Tancredo/Coburns.....oh well, as long as it isn't the McCaine/Guiliani, Rice/McCaine, Graham/Rice bunch of "compassionate conservatives".
Alito's nomination is now all about overturning Roe. The left will go ballistic to stop him. The GOP will have to go nuclear to seat him.
I don't know whether that was Coburn's intention, but he has launched a war as surely as the first cannon fired on Fort Sumpter.
Superb. The gentleman from Oklahoma really went above and beyond the call, and I thank him for that.
It looks like Senator Coburn is one of the few who really gets it. I have always said that the day they show a Partial Birth Abortion on television, is the day that the great ignorance of the masses will be lifted and humanity will return to our great country.... I just hope that someday, someone has the guts to do it.
I am a coburn fan, but would prefer to see him attack socialism than to spend all of his time on roe v wade.
I'm not sure he has the proper priorites.
Roe is a far bigger threat (on a daily basis) to Americans than socialism.
Sounds to me Senator Coburn's priorities are about right.
Barbara Boxer begrudges him work while he's in gov't.. He has to work to keep up his skills, pay his malpractice premiums, etc.. And he;s a young man, yet, not independently wealthy like Dr. Frist. He would like to go back to work when he finishes serving the American people. But that witch won't allow it.
Roe v Wade IS part of the socialist agenda. The socialist threat comes in many forms, and they're not all market-oriented.
This statement is so powerful, yet with no partisan tone to it. Simply presents some basic principles in stark terms.
Wow! When will my Senators Boxie and Dayan learn?
I am so HAPPY to have sent $$$ to Coburn's campaign through Club for Growth!
Yes. Socialism and Communism are twin sisters.
"Probably more prayer has been focused on the nation in recent years than at any time in recent decades – including many national (Christian) ministries that have been founded just to pray over the judiciary. I am convinced that God is answering those prayers.
I do believe that Alito is an answer to the prayers of God's people across the nation, and that he is a Justice that America needs on our Supreme Court. I also believe strongly that Alito will definitely shift the Court toward a much more judicially-restrained position; I further believe that he will vote both to limit judicial activism and to stop further federal intrusion into a number of issues, particularly those of faith and morality.
However, my only area of uncertainty is about how willing he is to overturn previous bad precedents. That is, while he is willing to restrict abortions, will he be willing to upend Roe v. Wade? And while he has already demonstrated that he will protect public religious expressions, is he willing to overturn the various Court-concocted tests that have rewritten the First Amendment over the past five decades? I don’t know, and no one but God can say for certain; time will tell. However, I do believe that the confirmation of Alito will represent a major victory and will be a gigantic, positive stride (culturally speaking) in the proper direction."
