this story is beautiful.

btw, 90 percent of babies diagnosed prenatally with down's syndrome are aborted.

how can anyone argue that this particular practice is not a classic example of the weak being systematically destroyed?
=====
btw, read this article
about the dirty tricks the Obama campaign is doing (of course, you
won't hear this from the mainstream media). this dude is an
ultra-partisan, old-style politician, plain and simple. nothing in his
record states otherwise. America, please stop being fooled by this
"change" rhetoric.

with the exception of his wife, there was not one person at the DNC who
stated anything along the lines of "I know Barack Obama. I've fought
and stood with him. You can trust him." (take note of the stark
contrast when the RNC takes place this coming week). the basic cry from
people like Biden and the Clintons was "hey, he's a Democrat like us,
please vote for him." in his acceptance speech, Obama mentioned nothing
about what he's done. he spent a lot more time attacking John McCain
(yup, that's the new-style politics for you), and his main statement
about his qualifications was, "I'm a Democrat, just like FDR and Truman
were. therefore, I must be qualified."

i mean, if you were hiring an executive to run a company, would you
hire a guy with ZERO experience running anything, and no worthy
references whatsoever? would you hire him simply because he was an
amazing speaker who made all these spectacular promises, but had no
proof that he could deliver on them? no one would take you seriously.

ladies, would you commit to a guy that was all talk and no past actions
just because he had a smooth tongue? well, maybe you would at first,
but in the end you'd end up with a broken heart or you'd end up
marrying a loser. haha.

gimme a break.

oh my gosh, i LOVE this pick.
she's an ethics reformer (she even blew the whistle on people in her own party, and defeated the incumbent Republican governor in the 2006 primary), anti-pork champion, knows about the need for energy independence, and has worked frequently with Democrats & Independents.

obama talks it. she's DONE it. (btw, did obama mention one accomplishment in his speech last night? if so, it must've gotten lost in all the impossible promises and ridiculous platitudes he spewed. maybe more on that another time.)

her speech just made me smile from ear to ear.
she's staunchly pro-life. she has 5 children, including a son with down syndrome (down syndrome babies are the kind of babies that are most frequently aborted b/c of birth defects). her words when she had that baby: "how can you say he's not beautiful? to me, he's beautiful. he's perfect."

she's a committed wife and mother, hunter, a former championship
basketball player and sportscaster. in high school, she was the head of
the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and she won Miss Congeniality in
a beauty pageant. and she married her high school sweetheart.

ok, i've been waiting for a reason to vote in November. count me in now!

obviously, he's pro-death. we all know that. but let's dig a little deeper into his reply to Rick Warren at the Saddleback Forum on Saturday. Warren asked him when human life begins:

“Well, I think that whether you are looking at it from a theological
perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with
specificity, you know, is above my pay grade,” Obama answered.

Wow, talk about completely weaseling out of the question. Your pay grade? What the heck does that mean? At least John Kerry in 2004 was able to admit that "life begins at conception." Obama can't even bring himself to say that. Ladies and gentlemen, that's how pro-death he is!

I also count at least three bald-faced lies by Obama in his answer. First, he keeps trotting out the lie that abortions have actually increased under Bush's tenure in office. It's a classic liberal talking point, and like many of them, it's not true. The Alan Guttmacher Institute, a research firm associated with Planned Parenthood, reported back in January that the number of abortions nationwide have fallen to their lowest point in 30 years and have declined 25 percent since 1990. The number of abortion are now at their lowest point since 1976.

Secondly, he claims the reason he didn't vote in favor of a law that would've protected babies that are born alive (usually because of failed abortion attempts) is because it didn't have language that protected Roe v. Wade. Actually, Obama voted with fellow Illinois state senators to specifically INSERT that language into the bill! And then he voted to kill the bill (this is all documented). And get this: He's been aggressively accusing pro-life advocates of LYING about his role in this bill, when he's the one that's full of it.

Finally, he stated that he was against partial-birth abortion. Oh yeah, it's easy to say that now that it's illegal. But the truth is that twice as a Illinois state senator, he voted against a partial-birth abortion ban. Also, his wife Michelle in 2004 sent out a fundraising letter which stated that "‘so-called’ partial-birth abortion was a
legitimate medical procedure that should be protected."

A couple more things- The misleading statement by Obama that annoys me the most is this nonsense about how he always opposed the war in Iraq. He did... as an Illinois state senator. As other Democratic U.S. senators have said to him, it's easy to do so when your position really doesn't mean squat. Rick Warren asked him on Saturday, "What's the most gut-wrenching decision you've ever had to make?" And Obama replied with voting against the war. So let's see.. he didn't have any influence on the matter, and that's his most gut-wrenching decision? I think that last sentence sums up well his utter lack of qualifications to become the next president of the United States.

Also, when Russia recently invaded Georgia, Obama's first comments were along the lines of "Both sides must show restraint." That's like Hitler invading Poland, and FDR saying "Both sides must show restraint." Gimme a break. Liberals just can't help making statements that emphasize moral equivalency. Obama also stated that the UN should get involved to invoke a cease-fire. Uh, there's a problem with that: Russia has veto power on the UN Security Council, so I don't think they'd play along. I mean, c'mon, that's just stupidity.

I am not a big John McCain fan at all (I just don't trust that he represents my conservative views well), and I have considered sitting out this election. But every day, Obama continues to aggravate me with his falsehoods and ridiculous statements. Without a doubt, he is the worst mainstream presidential candidate of my lifetime.

Pro-Life
Senator Tom Coburn, Under Fire for Delivering Babies For Free

Washington,
DC (LifeNews.com) -- Members of the U.S. Senate don't typically
earn money from another job after they're elected to the august body
because of concerns that they will be unduly influenced by customers
or colleagues. Oklahoma pro-life Sen. Tom Coburn is an OBGYN and is
coming under fire for helping his patients.

When
he is not in Washington, Coburn works at the Muskogee Regional Medical
Center.

The
hospital changed from a public one to private ownership in April and,
following that decision, Coburn has come under fire for working there.
However, Coburn changed his practice and now delivers babies at no
cost.

But
that hasn't allayed the concerns of the Senate ethics committee, which
is controlled by pro-abortion Democrats who have threatened Coburn
with censure for delivering babies at the medical center.

Coburn
spokesman John Hart recently told The Hill newspaper that he thinks
the charges are politically motivated by abortion politics.

“The
committee has shown us zero empirical evidence to back up its flimsy
claim," he said.

He
cited other work other senators have done that was for commercial
or private companies like pro-abortion Senator Pat Leahy, who recently
appeared in a popular movie.

“If
Sen. Coburn can only deliver babies for free at a public hospital,
shouldn't Sen. Leahy only be allowed to donate his notable thespian
skills to a public entity like PBS?" he asked.

“The
parents of babies Dr. Coburn delivers don't choose him hoping to sway
his vote, and they never have," he told The Hill.

'In
the 10 years Dr. Coburn has provided free healthcare to his neighbors
while serving in Congress, the Ethics Committee has never pointed
to a single conflict of interest. No lobbyist or any individual has
ever attempted to infiltrate his medical office under the guise of
an invasive medical exam to discuss Senate business," he concluded.

Tony
Perkins, the head of the Family Research Council said there is some
hypocrisy involved. He said the pro-abortion senators targeting Coburn
wouldn't have any concerns if he worked for Planned Parenthood doing
abortions for free.
