The Senate Postmortem
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Sat 26 Dec 2009 11:25 AM EST
In the post-dawn hours on Thursday the Senate passed ObamaCare 60 to 39, in the first vote on Christmas Eve since 1895 and after the longest consecutive session in Congress since World War I. We are thus heading toward the first U.S. entitlement program dragged across the finish line on a straight partisan majority, a bill that even its most fervent supporters admit is "flawed" but better than nothing. It is far worse than nothing. More>>> Monday, December 21
Senate Health Care Bill 'Ugly, Partisan and Dangerous'
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 21 Dec 2009 08:51 AM EST
"Senators Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) and Robert Casey (D-Pa.) gave mere lip service to protect the most innocent among us by placing their stamp of approval on government funding for abortion coverage" in the Democrats' health care bill, a pro-life group said after Senate Democrats advanced their bill in 1 a.m. vote on Monday. Family Research Council President Tony Perkins said the Senate's middle-of-the night, 60-40 vote to cut off debate -- thus allowing eventual passage of the bill -- reflects the "ugly, partisan and dangerous process" that has characterized the proceedings all along: "This legislation was drafted by a handful of people, supported by only one political party and will negatively affect every single American citizen."

Planned Parenthood Director Leaves, Has Change of Heart

Planned Parenthood has been a part of Abby Johnson's life for the past eight years; that is until last month, when Abby resigned. Johnson said she realized she wanted to leave, after watching an ultrasound of an abortion procedure. "I just thought I can't do this anymore, and it was just like a flash that hit me and I thought that's it," said Jonhson. More>>> Saturday, October 24

Government-Run Health Care: 'Doctors told me it was against the rules to save my premature baby'
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Fri 11 Sep 2009 03:43 PM EDT
Doctors left a premature baby to die because he was born two days too early, his devastated mother claimed yesterday. Sarah Capewell begged them to save her tiny son, who was born just 21 weeks and five days into her pregnancy - almost four months early. They ignored her pleas and allegedly told her they were following national guidelines that babies born before 22 weeks should not be given medical treatment. More>>> Friday, August 21

Despite unprecedented citizen opposition, Dems appear set to go it alone on health care
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Wed 19 Aug 2009 12:36 AM EDT
Given hardening Republican opposition to Congressional health care proposals, Democrats now say they see little chance of the minority’s cooperation in approving any overhaul, and are increasingly focused on drawing support for a final plan from within their own ranks. (This has NOTHING to do with "hardening Republican opposition" whatsoever. The people don't want it! Period. Simple. End of story. So, despite the overwhelming majority of American people being steadfastly opposed to socializing health care, the socialists in the Democrat Party intend to jam it down their throats anyway. We may very well be witnessing the DNC's waterloo that they so richly deserve. - Roland) More>>> Monday, August 17
Conservatives Now Outnumber Liberals in All 50 States, Says Gallup Poll
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 17 Aug 2009 02:55 PM EDT
Self-identified conservatives outnumber self-identified liberals in all 50 states of the union, according to the Gallup Poll. At the same time, more Americans nationwide are saying this year that they are conservative than have made that claim in any of the last four years. In 2009, 40% percent of respondents in Gallup surveys that have interviewed more than 160,000 Americans have said that they are either “conservative” (31%) or “very conservative” (9%). That is the highest percentage in any year since 2004. Only 21% have told Gallup they are liberal, including 16% who say they are “liberal” and 5% who say they are “very liberal.” (H/t: Semra) More>>> New Poll Shows Obama Approval Dropping Among Key Supporters More>>> Monday, August 10
Pelosi, Hoyer: Protests against socialized health care "un-American"
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 10 Aug 2009 04:41 AM EDT
USAToday Op/Ed: Characterizing the dissent of Americans concerned with Dem plans to socialize the health care system as "un-American", Pelosi and Hoyer spin the vocal protests as "drowning out" opposing views. As polls indicate that nearly half of all Americans view the US health care system as either good or excellent, up nearly twenty percentage points from six months ago, opposition is clearly growing. (When will the Democrats make up their minds? Is dissent patriotic or not? - Roland) More>>> Wednesday, August 5
DNC releases ad smearing Americans protesting against Obama domestic policies
by

Are you one of the tens of thousands of people who don't want government-run health care and showed up at a town hall or a rally to let it be known?...then you are part of the right-wing, extremist, angry mob and your anger is fake. It's not organic. It's not grassroots... (Indeed, Pelosi calls the protesters' movement "astro turf", a play on the term 'grass roots'. The Obama administration is calling on Americans to rat out their neighbors for dissenting political speech. When did we wake up in communist China? Why was dissent deemed "patriotic" by the left during the Bush years, but extreme and dangerous now? Legitimate question, fellow citizen, and something we need to seriously consider, regardless of political idealogy. - Roland) *RELATED*: White House Brushes Off Health Care Protests More>>> Wednesday, July 29
New U.N. Treaty Targets the Disabled Unborn
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Wed 29 Jul 2009 01:45 AM EDT
President Barack Obama's much-anticipated pro-United Nations treaty campaign has been launched with a White House ceremony declaring support for the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. But despite the title and language of the treaty, including the affirmation of a "right to life," it is doubtful whether the treaty would protect the rights of unborn children with disabilities, such as those with Down syndrome. Through its affirmation of "sexual and reproductive health"-a phrase that clearly means access to abortion and abortion rights-the treaty also supports abortion, even though it has been estimated that over 90 percent of pregnancies in the United States with a diagnosis of Down syndrome are terminated through abortion. This controversial aspect of the seemingly non-controversial treaty has been completely ignored in the many stories hailing Obama's endorsement of the "legally binding" measure. However, it explains why a pro-abortion administration would support such a measure. This treaty, for the first time in history, establishes an international right to abortion.

10 Questions for Supporters of 'ObamaCare'
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Tue 28 Jul 2009 03:28 PM EDT
President Barack Obama repeatedly tells us that one reason national health care is needed is that we can no longer afford to pay for Medicare and Medicaid. But if Medicare and Medicaid are fiscally insolvent and gradually bankrupting our society, why is a government takeover of medical care for the rest of society a good idea?...But what is the moral justification of having the state decide what medical care to ration?

Is Obama’s Science Czar a Crackpot?
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Fri 17 Jul 2009 03:22 AM EDT
Does Obama's science adviser advocate compulsory abortions and putting chemicals into the water supply to sexually sterilize human beings? Some well-known conservative bloggers and columnists have recently been repeating this information, based on revelations on a website strangely called Zombietime. But an analysis by Accuracy in Media has determined that some of the most sensational charges against Dr. John P. Holdren fall short of the mark. Still, he has a lot to answer for, including his belief in a "Planetary Regime" to manage the world. That Holdren endorsed the concept of a "planetary regime" is shocking, considering that he is now a top White House official. In fairness, however, it doesn't seem much different from Pope Benedict XVI's endorsement of a "World Political Authority," which was included in his recent encyclical. Devotion to some form of world government seems popular in religious and government circles these days, especially in the age of Obama. The difference, of course, is that Holdren was confirmed by the Senate of the United States and his salary is paid by U.S. taxpayers. However, Senators may not have been aware of many of his views More>>> Saturday, July 11
Justice Ginsburg Says She Originally Thought Roe v. Wade Was Designed to Limit 'Populations That We Don’t Want to Have Too Many Of'

In an interview to be published in Sunday’s New York Times Magazine, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she thought the landmark Roe v.

The American people continue to move to the pro-life perspective on abortion according to the latest Moral Compass survey by
the Knights of Columbus and Marist Poll. The poll mirrored findings of other recent surveys, showing that more Americans identify as pro-life than as pro-choice, and that the vast majority of Americans favor restricting abortion. Among the key findings: More>>> Wednesday, May 20
Notre Dame Holds First Alan Keyes Fundraiser

How about for next year's graduation ceremony Notre Dame have an abortionist perform an abortion live on stage? They could have a partial-birth abortion for the advanced degrees. According to liberals, the right to kill babies was enshrined by the Founding Fathers in our Constitution -- and other constitutional rights are celebrated in public. More>>> Monday, May 18
Obama's Words and the Moral Equivalency That Doesn't Exist
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 18 May 2009 03:19 PM EDT
In today's column by Doug Patton, the author sums up perfectly the record of Barack Obama when it comes to his pro-abortion positions. It is a record of disrespect for innocent human life, and it is a record that Notre Dame officials should have considered. What's more disturbing is that they surely did consider his record, but they invited him anyway. As an Illinois state senator, he voted to condemn newborns to die in closets after botched abortions. As a United States senator, he voted to allow full-term babies to be aborted up to the moment of birth simply because they were inconvenient. And now, as president of the United States, he advocates the destruction of human life for the purpose of embryonic stem cell research, he has ordered the export of abortion beyond our shores, and he has promised to sign a tyrannical policy known as the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), which would sweep away every federal, state and local restriction on abortion — including parental notification, the federal ban on partial birth abortion, and the conscience clause, which permits medical personnel to opt out of involvement in abortion procedures. This is the type of man that Notre Dame officials found to be a suitable speaker? Shame on Notre Dame. Shame on all of them for turning their backs on their prolife positions. More>>>

Conservatives always face uphill climb
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Sat 09 May 2009 10:41 AM EDT
Is conservatism over? Well, of course it is. Everyone from James Carville to Colin Powell says so. "The Republican Party is in deep trouble," Gen. Powell told some group willing to pay him serious money to deliver this kind of incisive insight. "Americans do want to pay taxes for services. Americans want more government in their lives, not less." And yet and yet… Last November, even with the GOP's fiscal profligacy, even with the financial sector's "October surprise," even with a cranky old coot of a nominee unable to articulate any rationale for his candidacy or even string together a coherent thought on the economy, even with a running mate subjected to brutal character assassination in nothing flat, even running against a charming, charismatic media darling of historic significance, even facing the natural cycle of a two-party system the washed-up loser no-hoper side managed to get 46 percent of the vote. OK, it's not 51 percent. But still: Obama's 53 percent isn't a big transformative landslide just because he behaves as if it is. More>>> Sunday, April 26
Underage pregnant girl advised by Planned Parenthood aide to lie about older man

The girl's voice in the videotape is tiny and tentative. She is talking to a nursing aide in a Planned Parenthood clinic in Bloomington, Ind. The girl wants an abortion. The aide explains that the girl will need a parent's consent because she is only 13. The girl balks; she does not want to name the father. "Cause, I mean, he would be in really big trouble," says the girl. Her boyfriend, she explains, is 31. More>>>

FDA OK's "morning after" pill for 17 YEAR OLDS
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Thu 23 Apr 2009 04:41 AM EDT
Seventeen-year-olds will be able to buy the "morning-after" emergency contraceptive without a doctor's prescription, a decision that conservatives denounced as a blow to parental supervision of teens but that women's groups said represents sound science.
The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday it would accept, not appeal, a federal judge's order that lifts Bush administration restrictions limiting over-the-counter sales of "Plan B" to women 18 and older. U.S. District Judge Edward Korman ruled last month in a lawsuit filed in New York that President George W. Bush's appointees let politics, not science, drive their decision to restrict over-the-counter access. Korman ordered the FDA to let 17-year-olds get the birth control pills. Conservatives said politics drove the decision. "Parents should be furious at the FDA's complete disregard of parental rights and the safety of minors," said Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America. More>>> Sunday, April 19

Does right of conscience not count to Obama?
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 13 Apr 2009 05:51 AM EDT
President Barack Obama promised during the 2008 campaign to end the “politics of division,” but his decision to eliminate the “conscience clause” in federal regulation for medical professionals and his nomination of a woman who calls mothers “fetal containers” to head the White House Office of Legal Counsel are as explosively divisive as it gets. The president directed the Department of Health and Human Services to rescind President George W. Bush’s 2008 executive order protecting medical professionals from retaliation for refusing to participate in certain procedures against their will. This takes the choice out of “choice” for doctors, nurses and pharmacists and sets a dangerous precedent. More>>> |
