“Controversial.” “Onerous.” “Ideologically offensive.” These are the words used by Washington Post reporters Ceci Connolly and R. Jeffrey Smith to describe the pro-life policies of President George W. Bush. The liberal slam came in an article about some of the early actions President-elect Obama will seek to take when he is inaugurated next year.
“Obama Positioned to Quickly Reverse Bush Actions” was carried in the November 9 edition of the Post. The story revealed that Obama is “now consulting with liberal advocacy groups” in order to create a hit list of “the most onerous or ideologically offensive” regulatory and policy initiatives of the Bush administration. Two of the top three initiatives singled out in the Post’s story are pro-life: embryonic stem cell research and abortion funding. The other is global warming.
The Post also quoted Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards who said the country’s leading abortion-provider is in near-daily communication with Obama’s transition team and “expects to see real change.” In other words, Planned Parenthood got the president they wanted.

When these two ‘reportrs’ stand before Almighty God, I dare say He might find them a little more than “Ideologically Offensive”.
For some reason I was able to read the Post article the first time, but just now they wanted me to `sign up’, and that I will not do ....
Anyway, my understanding from reading Fyfe’s article (as she quoted from the Post article) is that those words headlined were the words the reporters chose to use, not quotes or words used by the unnamed sources.
Yes, I know that it is difficult to believe that such journalistic bias and unprofessionalism issued from an institutional paragon of integrity like the Washington Post.

“Ideologically offensive”? Translation: Americans cannot say anything that deviates from the left’s party line. It’s coming and sooner than we may think.
Absolutely they are sick bastards. Country is in big trouble.
They've already restricted freedom of speech when it comes to protesting at abortion clinics. I'm sure they'd love to make it a hate crime or a violation of a woman's civil rights to express any opposition to abortion, even in general terms (that is, as opposed to trying to persuade a pregnant woman who is thinking of having an abortion not to do so).
Obama's Justice Dept. may make Janet Reno's look like amateurs in terms of going after their ideological opponents.
I can’t wait to see them put carbon taxes into action. The resulting global depression will cement Obama’s palce as the worst President in American history.
Just as “progressive” is the new word for “liberal”, “ideologically offensive” is another way of saying “politically incorrect”, a term that originally had leftist origins. So maybe we need to start hammering the phrase “ideologically offensive” so they can’t use that, either.
these perfect souls will judge our Nation.
Free speech. Now for liberals only.
Years ago, when I was in my twenties, a family friend (from the WWII generation), said it was going to take something disasterous to get this country morally back on the right track. It was one of those comments that gave me chills and struck me as being true...I have been hoping and praying the comment was wrong, but I don’t think so.
Not if we can help it!
I am sure your old family friend was correct. And I think that time is closer than ever.
Agreed. Obama will help take us there.
Aborted babies ===> Heaven
Baby killers ===> Hell
Not contentious at all, very simple actually...

Could it be the Almighty is separating the chaff from the wheat? Could it be He is letting ‘their will be done’ rather than ‘Thy will be done’? Somehow I believe He’s
got a BIGTIME smackdown lesson coming to those who mock and snub their noses at Him. Good luck leftists...count us out
of your foolishness.
” There are those who believe that a new modernity demands a new morality. What they fail to consider is the harsh reality that there is no such thing as a new morality. The is only one morality: all else is immorality. There is only true christian ethics over against that which stands the whole of paganism”... President Theodore Roosevelt
We don't think so. Life comes first......then liberty..........then the pursuit of happiness.
Pray for LIFE!
