Well, he did say his "typical white" grandmother mostly raised him, so maybe his mom did feel that way. His father was out of the picture also, IIRC. Just sayin...
Obama has royally stepped in it this time.
He’ll anger a whole lot, a whole entire lot of grandparents of in or out-of-wedlock grandchildren.
Cuts across race, class, and political lines.
“My grandchild is a form of PUNISHMENT!!!!?”
Said Barack: “If my daughters are ridin’ dirty I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
In the last two weeks, we have had the publicized Wright rants and now this. These are two most telling revelations about a presidential candidate. Even more important than socialistic proposals, his character flaws run very deep.
This goes beyond being “pro life.” Any thinking, reasoning, feeling human being should be appalled by at this “punished with a baby” comment. He says that his own daughters are “miracles.” But if they were mistakes they would be punishment? He speaks of “educating” our children. Does he realize that it is Planned Parenthood is who is educating our society. This speech sounds like it was written for him by Planned Parenthood.
Does he, does the general public even know who Margaret Sanger was? I would recommend to anyone who doesn’t, to read “Margaret Sanger’s Eugenic Legacy” by Angela Franks. PP was founded with the purpose of reducing undesirable populations. Have we forgotten the horrors of Nazi Germany, and their desire for a perfect human race? Is this what we Americans have become? Is this who we want to be?
It occurs to me that some people will “choose” to jump if they are afraid that they will be pushed if they do not. If a woman’s “right to choose” is taken away, will it be replaced by forced abortions and sterilizations? Any thinking, reasoning, feeling human being should be appalled by the thought of abortion. And I think that most of us are, but we are afraid of people who appear more powerful than we are. We are afraid to come together and fight against this.
We have to have courage. Because if we become weakened by our fear of speaking up we are going to end up in the same boat as the Holocaust victims, and more recently, abortion victims. If we don‘t try to rescue them, who is going to be left to come and rescue us?
I guess it is no suprise that a man willing to countenance infantacide in the form of his opposition to the born alive infant act would describe a baby as “punishment”. But I guess that adoption or marriage would pose a threat to the legal rationale for his sacrament called Roe vs Wade.
