So, your friends are enamored with Obama? Even some of your
Evangelical Christian friends? You can't talk them out of following
this Pied Piper? They don't care about mandatory redistribution of
wealth? They don't care about the suppression of freedom through Hate
Speech legislation? It matters to them little that this guy will
sit down and smoke peace pipes with Ahamadinnejad? Well,
allow me to share another reason not to vote for the demagogue de jour, one
seldom discussed, the granddaddy reason of all: Obama believes in
killing babies! No, I'm not talking about abortion, even though
that too, is the taking of a life. I'm not even talking about
Partial Birth Abortion, which is much more obviously the taking of a
life. People have already accepted his "Pro-Choice" positions on those
practices. No, right now, I am talking about an action that even
liberals must confess to be infanticide.
The Illinois Born Alive Infant Protection Act was introduced to
protect babies who had survived abortions, from being destroyed by
hospitals. I mean, babies that were actually born! Babies removed
from the womb! A hospital in Illinois had been going ahead and
terminating these shelved babies. Oh wait! I almost forgot. They
didn't call them babies. They called them "fetuses." Of course, fetus is just the Latin word for baby anyway.
But it didn't matter. The original intent had been to abort them, so
when they survived the abortion, it only seemed fitting to finish the
job. For this reason, a bill was introduced to protect these helpless
children. The federal version of the bill passed. While discussing the
Illinois state version of the bill, Obama claimed that this proposed
law was just a device for the eventual overturning of Roe Vs. Wade.
That may be, Obama, but we are still living in the present and we are
still talking about infanticide. And frankly, I'm tired of that one
liner about how you oppose abortion for religious reasons but you
cannot impose your religion on others. Was Martin Luther King imposing
his religion on others when he invoked the Bible in the name of
anti-discrimination? I mean, honestly, that popular Pro-Choice
response has had more performances than Phantom of the Opera,
so you can take this clever mantra and serve it on toast. You do not
support abortion and infanticide out of concern for separation between
church and state. You support it out of a concern for pleasing your
liberal lobbyists and voters who keep you in power.
Yes, even Evangelicals are supporting the candidate who, instead of
holding babies, votes to kill babies. One might think they would ask
themselves how Jesus felt about killing babies. And so, perhaps this
little known fact about Obama will curve some of your discussions with
your friends. But don't count on it. People don't like to hear about
dead babies. They'll talk about a woman's right to chose and accuse you
of being a chauvinist. They might also bring up race and suggest that
your true problem with Obama is his skin color. The idea that you might
be in favor of women's rights and that you could care less about skin
color and that you might just be concerned for human life, is a notion
that does not make its way into political discussion today.
God save our country and God save our children. Obama sure as heck won't.
