"Obama is quite alive and is scheduled to take office in less than two weeks. Shouldn't the focus be on him now?"
Yes, what was I thinking? Let the Obama-bashing begin. I haven't heard him encouraging anyone to have an abortion, but if I squint hard enough I can imagine him offering free abortions with every purchase of a US savings bond. Yes, he must be an extremist. I'm sure he can't wait for his daughters to get pregnant so he can personally stick his hands into their wombs and jank that little non-person out and kill it.
Yes, let's forgive Reagan for signing the TAA that enabled millions of abortions and make our focus Obama's imaginary transgressions against our righteous innocence. Let's hamstring Obama now so we can blame him for the economic apocalypse in four years and elect Sarah Palin and Rick Warren.
"Obama is quite alive and is scheduled to take office in less than two weeks. Shouldn't the focus be on him now?"
Yes, let's bash him instead. Obama's actions haven't led to abortions like Reagan's did, but then give him time. I'm sure Obama can't wait to kill his daughters' children. Let's start hating him now.
Will: "I'm sure Obama can't wait to kill his daughters' children."
Gee, Will, I was hoping to have a honest discussion with you. However, your last post -- including your comment about President-elect Obama's desires on his granchildren -- suggest something off-kilter in your mind. Please seek help from a professional.
"Gee, Will, I was hoping to have a honest discussion with you."
No, you weren't, you wanted to try to revive Morning in America one last time before the whole phoney fascade crumbles. And what better way than to sound the one-note symphony of modern faux conservatism, abortion.
If you want to preach Obama as "abortionist in chief" to the Crunchy Choir, I'm sure you'll get a few "amens." Don't expect a lot of traction anywhere else.
