View Article  Democrats Can't Stop Talking About Palin!
Adam Graham at Culture11 has posted a short but insightful article explaining why the Left just can't stop talking about Sarah Palin...no matter how hard they try:

Perhaps, the most disturbing thing to the leftist mind from her speech to the graduating class at Master's Academy was her declaration that she could do the best she could as Governor with infrastructure, law enforcement, and education but that it wouldn't do much good if the hearts of people in the State wern't right with God.

The statement was not theocracy (as she put the challenge of reaching people on the students and not the state), but of the limits of government's power. This is the ultimate heresy to the far left. If the power to solve society's ills is not found in the government, if man is more than a carefully balanced hierarchy of needs and wants than liberalism is bankrupt.

View Article  Obama On Abortion At Saddleback
During the recent civil forum at Rick Warren's Saddleback Church, Senator Obama was asked point blank when he believed an embryo became a human life worthy of the same rights as any other American citizen.  Obama responded that the answer to that question was "above his pay grade." 

Fair enough.  We can't expect the President to be an expert on everything.  That's why he has expert advisers.  In this case, that's why he has an expert in bioethics. 



I'd be fine with Obama's response if it weren't for his promise to support the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA).  According to Family Research Council, "FOCA would obliterate hundreds of state laws that protect women, parents, children, and health care workers, while forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for millions of abortions. It would overturn commonsense laws like parental notification, conscience protections, abortion waiting periods, informed consent, and regulations for women's health. In essence, FOCA would tilt the table for abortion."

Now, it seems to me that if the answer to the question of when a baby's life is worth protecting is above Senator Obama's pay grade, then a decision such as whether or not to sign FOCA into law should be even further above it. 

This isn't even a simple question of whether or not I think one should vote for a pro-choice candidate.  Should one vote for a candidate who strongly supports a position that he admits to not fully understanding?  Should one vote for a candidate who does not think deeply about his decisions, and who will enact policies without truly understanding the important issues?

Can you imagine if one of the candidates had said that they could not answer the question of whether or not the current war in Iraq was a just war, and then went on to promise that he would stay committed to the war and increase the number of troops???  Obama's answer makes no more sense.
