Abortionman
Michelle Malkin points out a skit on YouTube by comedian Damon Wayans: Abortionman. Michelle asks:
Is Wayans really trying to send an anti-abortion message here? Or is this just sophomoric, exploitative garbage masquerading as faux social criticism?
I’m a hyperbolist, myself, so I tend to see this as sophomoric anti-abortion speech. Sure, it’s exploitive: it exploits those who treat infanticide as a coin-flip decision. It exploits the moronic pro-abortion arguments the dehumanize unborn children. We on the anti-abortion side see the light treatment of a type of murder that happens thousands of times a day. The other side sees the light treatment of assault and battery.
I suspect most pro-abortionists also find the video acceptable and feel the young lady got what she deserved for selling out her sister by deciding against abortion. To the left, every live birth is a crime.

Global Warming? We Don’t Give a Damn
According to an ABC News poll
released today, zero percent of Americans consider global warming an issue in this year’s election.
I guess I’m in the majority on this one.

Obama: Narrow, Prejudiced, Little Man
The thinking, scientific world owes much to James Joyner and Arthur Brooks for this piece examining the socio-economic background of American gun owners.
Principle findings:
- Gun owners are happier than non-owners (Barack’s prejudice debunked)
- Gun owners earn more than non-owners (Barack’s preju
- dice debunked)
- Gun owners are equally educated with non-owners (Barack’s prejudice debunked)
Barack Obama’s "bittergate" comments served to debunk the Barack myth. He is neither transcendent nor particularly intelligent. Instead, he is a narrow, prejudiced, little man, made ignorant by the vapid idiots who surround him. His anti-American wife, his anti-white spiritual leader, his terrorist friends have filled his welcoming head with lies.
The lies Obama believes are the kind of lies that demand action. His race for President is his attempt to pay back the people who harmed him, but only in his perverted imagination.
Just say "no" to Chicago-style ignorance.

Some too ‘obsessed’ with what we say – Roger Simon – Politico.com
Wednesday night, in a debate here, Barack Obama complained a number of times about the presidential campaign process and how some people spend way too much time “obsessing” about some of the things he and others have actually said.

Dude: when you haven’t actually done anything in your life, your words are the only thing voters have to go on. And your words suck.

Invalidating Feelings
Every modern man knows that invalidating a woman’s feelings lies on the offensiveness scale somewhere between unwelcomed groping and fat jokes. Whether or not it’s fair to suffer a woman’s wrath because she misunderstood a word is another matter.
Last week, Barack Obama smugly told a group of billionaire liberals in San Francisco that rural Americans are bitter, ignorant Neanderthals who prefer guns and superstitions (aka, religion) and race-hatred to reason, education, and hard work. He thought his comments were off the record. He was wrong on all counts.
This week, Barack and his posse are defending himself by invalidating the feelings of the people he offended. In the process, he’s compounding the problem by telling us that we’re too damn stupid to understand what he meant. ( By "us," I mean gun owners who go to church and ask forgiveness for our rampant sinfulness.)
Like the strategy of blaming Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s bigotry on the racism of whites, this attempt to shift the blame is failing miserably. Miserably.
According to Ed Morrissey [on HotAir.com], Obama’s hard work in Pennsylvania was more than undone by his snobbish remarks. Ed understands, as I do, the crux of the problem.
No matter how Obama tries to spin it, his statement assumes Midwestern voters are idiots.
What’s worse, Obama can’t see it. Like a child who blames the teacher for his failure to turn in assignment, Obama wants the voters he disdains and ridicules to forgive him solely because he’s smarter than the rest of us.
Barack handled the Rev. Wright affair atrociously. He’s handled the Rezko affair poorly. Like Bill Clinton, all of Obama’s weaknesses, failures, and poor decisions were and are someone else’s fault. He has no sense of responsibility. He is a child.
In the 1990s, with a Republican Congress, America could afford a child-president. In the age of War on Terror, we cannot. The hicks in the Midwest understand these subtleties of history precisely, even if they don’t choose to articulate them in the pompous terms Obama and his ilk prefer.
Obama’s day in the sun is fading.

Benedict’s Benediction
Pope Benedict XVI will receive the highest honor the United States can bestow upon on a visiting head of state: the President will meet him at the airport. Afterwards, the White House will host the largest gathering of Bush’s presidency, as over 12,000 guests will receive His Holiness. Quite an honor.
Sadly, Catholic hate mobs will be out in force, too. Excommunicates who believe they know God’s designs for the church better than the Pope will travel from St. Louis to embarrass themselves and the church they refuse to obey.
Why would a Methodist president show more respect for the Pope than cradle Catholics?
Pride. Donna Quinn, a former nun excommunicated recently by St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke, wants to be a priest. Her pride drove her to separate from her church. Presidents are proud men at some level, but this one is not so proud as to blind him.
Benedict continues a rejuvenation of the church that John Paul II began. In this reform, the excesses of the 1960s and 1970s begin receding. The old prayers are returning as the church remembers that ancient admonition: lex orandi, lex credendi.
Fr. John Corapi, a preacher every Catholic should know well, tells of a meeting late in the Second Vatican Council. The Cardinals took turns extolling the virtues of "fresh air." The idea was to renew the church by opening the windows, metaphorically.
As Corapi tells it, an old French Cardinal sat and listened for hours. As the proceedings neared a close, he rose to speak. He said, "Openness is good, and we could all use some fresh air. But be careful. When you throw open the windows, you might let in fresh air. You might let in every stench from the gutter, too."
Donna Quinn’s perverted, disordered views, her self-importance, her pride, result from those gutter stenches that wafted into our churches when we threw open the windows. The poor woman never received the education, the formation that the church knows to give. Like so many modern Catholics, she learned a disordered catechism penned by men, not by God. The spirit that moved the church’s leaders were not of Heaven, but of profanity.
Thank God that our president will give Pope Benedict his due. May the world, and particularly Catholics, see his visit as the chance to return to the church Christ ordained, following the shepherd He left to tend His flock. And may Donna Quinn and I be in that number.
