It's Still Horse Manure!

As he has done in the past, President Obama is playing Christians (especially Catholics) for fools. He’s betting that we are fools or, at least, extremely naïve, and will believe that his “compromise” on the Obamacare requirement for employers to provide, through their healthcare policies, birth control, including the “morning after” pill, and abortion. It’s nothing more than an accounting gimmick. Anyone who buys it is either naïve or a fool. You can call a pile of horse manure a rose, but it still stinks.

This is all sold under the guise of “healthcare” for women. Nancy Pelosi, former Speaker of the House of Representatives (praise the Lord it’s former), in her usual two-faced support of the President, said, that Republicans want “to use the excuse of religious freedom” to take an action that will harm women's health (emphasis added). In the first place, it has nothing to do with “women’s health”. In the second place, she ignores the fact that a large part of the female population of the United States is Republican. Nobody in their right mind would want to “harm women’s health”. As far as using “the excuse of religious freedom” is concerned, it’s not an excuse when we are talking about the exercise of religious freedom. It’s in the constitution! It’s called the 1st Amendment! Read it, Ms. Pelosi. You just might learn something!

President Pelosi?

In his first two months as President, Mr. Obama, the man who campaigned as a man of the people, a man who would listen to the people, has so far seemed to have listened only to Nancy Pelosi. In fact, from what this writer has observed, Mr. Obama has spent most of the last two months campaigning while Nancy Pelosi has been making the decisions on how to run the country.

The people of San Francisco elected Nancy Pelosi to represent them in Congress. The liberal left of the Democrat party in the House of Representatives elected her Speaker of the House. Nowhere is there a record of her being elected President of the United States. It is time for Mr. Obama to stop campaigning and start governing, and it’s time for Nancy Pelosi to cease being the de-facto President.

Mr. President, you are a smart man, but if you continue listening to the likes of Nancy Pelosi and her Senate counterpart Harry Reid, you are acting quite foolishly. Their interest is not in what is best for the nation, but in what is best for them and the Democrat party.

Abortion--Good For the Economy?

In the years that have passed just since the “legalization” of abortion by the U.S. Supreme Court in the infamous Roe v. Wade Decision, proponents of abortion have offered numerous arguments supporting abortion. Some arguments are at least worthy of discussion, i.e. abortion when the life of the mother is in danger. This week, though, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, offered the most specious of all arguments, even more specious than a right to privacy.

Personally, I cannot remember when I have ever agreed with Ms. Pelosi on anything, but my disagreement with her has never been as vehement as it is today. Even with the inane comments she has made in the past, I found it difficult to believe that even she could dream up such an argument for abortion!

To say that abortion helps the nation’s economy is, at best, a specious argument. Preventing the birth of a child as a means of controlling government spending is only one step away from genocide. What’s next—the argument that retirement pensions, Social Security, and Medicare are such a drain on the economy that we need to deny medical care and retirement income to senior citizens? When does someone like Pelosi say that $80,000 is too much to save the life of an eighty-year old senior citizen who has suffered a heart attack? Folks, it’s coming. Mark my words.
