I think there’s a lot of truth to what you’re saying. Obama will really test the public’s powers of discernment. The left is a formidable adversary because for the most part it is sincere in its moral passions, and people respond to sincerity.

“social injustice that is the root cause of abortion”

So, the mentality of I don’t have XYZ so I’ll have a baby by anyone I chose at any time I want, including when I am 14, 16, 18 is social injustice? Or that losing your virginity is such a fad that it is for all intents and purposes worthless in its social value? Following that train of thought, if virginity is of no value, then neither is the product of losing that virginity..a baby? Oh yes. This whole setup is publically funded here in the US: the baby part and the get-rid-of-the-baby part, even up to sucking out his or her brains at birth to kill him or her. In Burkina Faso or Myanmar, who knows how these things go. I know I don’t.

I also don’t understand the whole argument anymore. I don’t want to see the ugliness of treating what is precious with such disdain and callousness.

(the left) is sincere in its moral passions

Bell curve my man, bell curve. Passion & belief dominate the fringes, whether on the right or left. One side embraces ecclesiastical belief, while the other holds faith in secular institutions.

The balance is in the middle; I for one cannot believe the US will vote for an America hating, black nationalist.
