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 Posts 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 countrys leading abortion-provider is in near-daily communication with Obamas transition team and expects to see real change. In other words, Planned Parenthood got the president they wanted.

Right! A animal can kill out of instinct or fear or rabid rage. But it takes a human being to take delight in torturing someone to death and increasing their pain as much as possible. Nothing like that exists in the animal kingdom.
Did you ever read any of Fr. Amorth's exorcism stuff? He talks about the demons possessing someone--they would be tortured beyond belief when the priest prayed the prayers over the possessed. But they still wouldn't leave. He asked them why they stayed, if they were being tortured so much---and they said it was purely out of spite for him and for the possessed. They hated so much they were willing to endure torture to slake their hatred. Chilling.
Good to see you, Mrs. Don-o - I hope Don-0 is well!
