HRc: Personna Non Grata

  HRc has spoken and she answered one of the two prevailing questions.  The question she answered was “why should Barack Obama be President?”  Her answer was clear, ………so that someone from the Republican party is not.  You know, the Twin Cities argument.  She failed to answer the question she continually answered throughout the primary campaign and that was that Barack Obama is not qualified to be President.  She had the opportunity to re-habilitate that question last night but failed to seize the opportunity and in my opinion by no small coincidence (more on that later). 

Did she state that over the past 2 months since she put her campaign on hold that she got to know BO better and believes he has now demonstrated to her that he has the experience and ability to manage the free world?  ……………NO.   Did she state since that 2 month period that she has gotten to know BO much better now and realizes that he does posses the personal characteristics to be President not withstanding their previous assertions that his candidacy is based on racial appeal as was Jesse Jackson’s in NC and SC in 1988? ………..NO.  Did she state that she has gotten to know his family and is here to say that they will provide and ideal role model of Americans throughout the world?  ………..NO    ….and I could go on, but you get my point. 

She did what she had to do otherwise she would become a personna non grata within the Democratic party like John Edwards, but not a bit more.  Take Bubbas comments yesterday (see below) using a not so abstract example explaining how with the current Democratic Candidate who can’t deliver on his promises will be less appealing to voters that agree with only one-half of McCain’s plans, but know he can at least deliver those.  Yes my friends, Dick Morris is correct, the Clinton machine is out to deep six the Obama campaign, which will make for a very interesting and entertaining fall………..stay tuned.  (especially tonight when Bubba speaks and is feared to be a loose cannon since he has failed to provide a text of his speech to the Obama handlers, much to there constranation.)

Bubba’s X Y anology of 8/26/08 

“Suppose for example you’re a voter and you have candidate X and you have candidate Y,” Clinton said. “Candidate X agrees with you on everything but you don’t think that person can deliver on anything. Candidate Y disagrees with you on half the issues but you believe that on the other half, the candidate will be able to deliver.”

Obama . . . . . Got You.

  Go Here to redstate.com and read the logical explanation of events related to the Obama flap on Live Birth Botched Abortions.  It is clear that what he is saying now about the Illinois legislation is not true and his office has admitted to that being the case in some part.  When he called the Pro Lifers that were involved in this legislation in IL “Liars” he was lying himself.  If you heard him state it you know it wasn’t a casual comment but a structured and well stated charge.  Change we can believe in?  …No change here.

Obama……………..

As I understand it, this puts the burden on the attending physician who has determined, since they were performing this procedure, that, in fact, this is a nonviable fetus; that if that fetus, or child - however way you want to describe it - is now outside the mother’s womb and the doctor continues to think that it’s nonviable but there’s, let’s say, movement or some indication that, in fact, they’re not just coming out limp and dead, that, in fact, they would then have to call a second physician to monitor and check off and make sure that this is not a live child that could be saved.

Above My Pay Grade

  If you watched the Rick Warren interviews of both Obama and McCain you may recall interesting while divergent answers to a legitimate question.  The question was…..”when does life begin?”  This is not a flippant remark but an age old question that has shaped the debate over abortion from its inception. 

 

The original position of the so called “pro choice” crowd was that “viability” constituted when life actually began.  Ok that is an understandable position even though the dating of viability was difficult for us to determine, especially since there have been many instants of preemies living when the “authorities” would have given it no chance, but at least during this early era the pro choice adherents believed that there was a pre-natal time when our concept of “life” (not merely Biological) began and that they didn’t believe it began at conception.

 

This was important to them because to have any other position would have been a moral violation even in their own minds.  Over the years the position of the hard core “pro choicers” migrated to literally being there is no pre birth point where you are committing a moral violation.  For some (and we’ll discuss who some of these are at another time) have degenerated to believe it is appropriate to allow a live birth of a child to die without care if such live birth is the result of a “botched” abortion effort (yes, it happens).  

 

You might find it interesting know that both McCain and Obama gave clear and revealing answers to this question.  In McCain’s response he jumped right out and stated “at birth.”  In Obama’s case he stammered a moment and then stated that such an answer was “above his pay grade.”  If there is anyone that is reading this post that didn’t understand that answer please comment here, but I’ll say that what he said meant that he didn’t know (i.e. only God knows).  

When I was in college at Xavier University in the 1960’s even though I was a Finance & Accounting major, I was introduced to Thomas Aquinas whereas all enrolled students were required to take sufficient courses in Philosophy that it would have constituted as being a “minor” at any other university.  I came to appreciate Thomas Aquinas during that time and he helped shape much of what today I consider to be my moral guidelines.  In this line of Thomistic Philosophy he stated that one could only act on a moral question when he could do so without committing a moral violation.  That is to say that we are required to follow the “morally safer” course in unknown situations.In the above situation Obama clearly states that he doesn’t know when life begins as he implied it as being in the domain of God and not within the realm of his own knowledge (hence he called it “above” his pay grade).  The strikingly shocking aspect of this response is that he is fully prepared to supporting a moral action that would take the life of a (for sake of argument) possible human being under the guise that a woman has a right to do what she will with her own body (as though a fetus is her own body). How on earth can he pretend to have a “moral” position on this major question of our time by asserting that he doesn’t know if life (human life) begins but it is okay with him for us to decide to destroy it for the benefit of another anyway.  It seems that this is the REAL point that is above his “Pay Grade.” 

Mr. Obama has failed the most basic of morality tests, one that has resulted in 48.5 million abortions since 1973 (Roe v Wade), almost as many as WWII’s 55 million.  If Mr. Obama is elected and he appoints judges that affirm this decision it won’t be long at all until there is more blood on his hand than the left likes to charge George W. Bush.   

Sheesh………………If this isn’t a deal breaker for you I’d say you have to reorder your priorities.
