Does Obama roll the dice on abortion in 2012?

So, I'm looking at the 2012 calendar trying to pick the date Obama goes all-out on abortion.

He won in 2012 by closing the Democrat's historical gap with white voters, but now it's back down to where it usually is -- except among white women with college degrees, where he's at 56 percent.  He's going to need a MONSTER turnout among that demo to win, which means Democrats will have to employ some serious smear-and-fear tactics.

I mean, telling women (Insert name of Republican nominee) will put a spy camera in your uterus.  Think that's silly?  They're already telling women there's a secret Republican plan to arrest and jail them if they have an abortion and don't report it on their taxes.

The catch, beside the obvious and usual backlash? 

A majority of young voters are now pro-life, with 58 percent saying it is "morally wrong"  Fifty-one percent of them consider it a "very important," while only twenty-six percent of pro-abortion young feel the same of their opinion, which means Obama begins losing the youth vote if he pushes the abortion.

Obama also risks eroding his overall support among women.  Despite the propaganda of the pro-abortion industry, the fact is not only are Americans more likely to be pro-life than pro-"choice," women are more pro-life than men. 

And while women are more pro-life than men, white women without a college degree gave 41 percent of their vote to Obama in 2008, which helped him close the Democrats' traditional gap with working-class whites.  They are also among the women most likely to be pro-life.  Right now their support for Obama has slipped to 38 percent.  Any move by Obama to push abortion further erodes that number.

If Obama heads into late 2012 with the same numbers he's facing now, he has to make a decision.  Does he play it safe on abortion and hope he doesn't lose enough youth and overall female voters, or does he abandon the youth vote and risk eroding his overall female support by going all-out on the abortion scare tactics, hoping it will drive turnout among college-educated females in large enough numbers to not only overcome the backlash, but nudge his total white vote upwards enough to push him over the finish line?

Archbishop advocates conscripting 'the rich' into forced labor

"The rich and powerful should be required by law to spend some time every year helping the poor and needy, says the Archbishop of Canterbury," the Daily Mail reports today.

"Rowan Williams said a return to the medieval tradition when monarchs ritually washed the feet of the poor would serve to remind politicians and bankers what should be the purpose of their wealth and power."

While I certainly appreciate His Grace's intentions, where in the Bible did Christ advocate the use of force to impose His teaching?  Where in the Bible did Christ go to Rome to lobby the Senate to enforce His teachings?  The Bible is filled with warnings to men to avoid the lure of State power.

"Because the duty to serve would be compulsory, those involved would not be able to claim credit for doing it, he added," the Mail also reports.

True, but if it's compulsory, then it's not God's will -- it's the State's.  That's why He did not send Christ to Earth as a king.  It is also rather ironic, given the fact one of the Bible's great villains is a head of state who conscripted God's people into forced labor.

His Grace also overlooks an important historical fact.  In Christ's time wealth was not mobile.  Men did not become rich by finding ways to be of use and benefit to their fellow man. The rich of Christ's time got rich by either being of use to the State, or being born into the State.  Wealth was not earned, it was a barometer of political power.

As His Grace notes, such a law dates back to the time of monarchs, people who amassed their wealth through the power of the State.  The relationship between the "rich" and the "poor" at that time was not one of voluntary, mutually-agreed upon exchange.  The law was largely an attempt by "the rich" of that time to use an empty display of one-time subservience to mollify "the poor" who, in a world where wealth was fixed and not earned, had no recourse other than the axe.

But the money of today, which His Grace seems to speak of disparagingly, has transformed our world into a more peaceful place.

The "rich" His Grace speaks of today earned their wealth by providing jobs, homes, goods, medical care and a standard of living inconceivable in Christ's time.  If "the poor" feel they are being mistreated by a member of "the rich," they simply take their business to someone else.

If you think "the rich" should do more to help "the poor," keep in mind that in a modern, capitalist, free market economy, money is a tool of voluntary exchange that changes hands when someone feels someone else provides a good of service worthy of that exchange. 

In such an economy, both parties benefit.  In fact this free market of voluntary exchange, of which money is the agreed-upon unit of measure, allows the poor to become rich and the rich to become poor.  This phenomenon of social mobility was inconceivable in the world of State control that existed in the first century.

In the first century and into medieval England wealth was the spoils of political power.  In our world, wealth is an one of the indicators of your value to your fellow man in a voluntary free market. 

So, who has done more to help the poor?  The bureaucrat who would run the compulsory work program serving dinners at a school, or the millionaire who became a millionaire by finding a way to manufacture enough of that food for everyone?

Yes, most of them will not be doing it out of a sense of responsibility to their Christian duties, but by advocating the use of State force to achieve the outward appearance of Christian charity, rather than inspiring to care for their neighbor out of a genuine Christian love, His Grace has already admitted motives are irrelevant.  And improving the life of your fellow man by making his food more affordable only to earn a profit for yourself is still more peaceful and better for the poor than a world where the State rounds up the wealthy and influential and forces them under threat of arrest to ladle out soup.

Want to see "the rich" do more to improve the lives of "the poor?"  Get out of their way and allow them to use their God-given mind to continue to create, innovate and produce. 

A thought as millions rush to hand over their property to the State

"In a fully free society, taxation—or, to be exact, payment for governmental services—would be voluntary...The principle of voluntary government financing rests on the following premises: that the government is not the owner of the citizens’ income and, therefore, cannot hold a blank check on that income—that the nature of the proper governmental services must be constitutionally defined and delimited, leaving the government no power to enlarge the scope of its services at its own arbitrary discretion. Consequently, the principle of voluntary government financing regards the government as the servant, not the ruler, of the citizens—as an agent who must be paid for his services, not as a benefactor whose services are gratuitous, who dispenses something for nothing." - Ayn Rand

Obama predicts Americans 'will feel that I deserve a second term'

"I think that in the debates that take place over the next 18 months the American people will feel that I deserve a second term," President Barack Obama tells The Associated Press in an interview published this afternoon.

He has some work to do.

None other than National Public Radio reported Wednesday, "In recent months, a number of national surveys have posed similar versions of the question: Do you think Barack Obama has done well enough to deserve reelection, or would the country be better off with someone else? The 'well enoughs' average about 43 percent; the "someone elses" 49 percent."

Government school unions' 'State of Emergency' plan calls for stalking, threats, riot tactics

Faced with the possibility taxpayer spending may not grow as fast as they want it to, government school union bosses have embraced goon squad tactics in a plan to create what they call a "State of Emergency."

In this document created by the California Teachers Association, teachers are instructed to involve children in protests employing coffins and "homeless shelters," giving children the impression their teacher will become homeless or die if taxpayer spending is slowed down.

But they don't stop at telling children their teacher will be homeless unless mommy and daddy agree to tax hikes.  The government school union turns the goon meter to 11, instructing teachers to:

* "Target the businesses of legislators in their home districts."
* "Create a “Bad Legislators” list and post it in multiple locations." (DF notes: That's one of the tactics that lead to death threats against pro-taxpayer legislators in Wisconsin.)
* "Picket/rally in front of legislators’ offices/homes."
* "Follow targeted legislators for the entire day."
* "Publish a list of companies that are not paying their fair share of taxes.  Send letters to these companies and the media and picket their offices. Withdraw funds from banks that are not paying their fair share. (DF notes: The CTA never defines what a "fair share" is.  It is also pays no taxes whatsoever.)
* "Attempt to close a major artery into town/cities." (DF notes: That's a riot tactic commonly employed by violent anarchist groups.)

Do you want your children taught by people who teach them stalking, threats and bullying are legitimate tools of political discourse?

Why being libertarian means being pro-life

Dr. Paul explains.



“I don’t like them to use that argument, that believing in liberty means you can kill the unborn...Life comes from our creator, not our government. Liberty comes from our creator, not from government and therefore, the purpose, if there is to be a purpose, for government is to protect life and liberty.”

Rand cites 1937 Rand novel about banning incandescent bulbs. Senate votes to stay in the dark.

"For Sen. Rand Paul, legislation setting new efficiency standards for appliances evokes the nightmare future Ayn Rand warned us all about," POLITICO reports this afternoon.

"Paul offered an amendment to remove the appliance bill’s enforcement authority, but first he turned his attention to Rand’s 1937 novel 'Anthem'...'Over time, he discovers the subway and rediscovered the incandescent light bulb,' he said. Paul described how the novel’s character then takes the light bulb to a leadership council and 'they take the light bulb and, basically, it’s crushed beneath the boot heel of the collective,," POLITICO reports.

Predictably, senators voted to keep Americans in the dark.  The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee voted 16-6 against his amendment to make efficiency standards voluntary.  Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) was one of the Republicans to vote against the lightbulb.

I agree with Obama

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure.  It is a sign that the U.S. government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.'”  -- Sen. Barack Obama, March 2006

House Dems serve up panic, hysteria, silliness over...cafeteria forks

Choose or die.

Some Democrat congressional staffers are threatening to boycott the House cafeteria and Democrat congressmembers are in full mental meltdown after Republicans have instructed managers to resume the use of traditional disposable cups and plastic utensils over the fragile, flimsy, "green" spoons, knives and forks ordered under former Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The changes come after most House staffers, Republicans and Democrats, demanded the change.  The "green" utensils routinely shattered in staffers' hands and even melted in soup, leading staffers to begin bringing utensils from home.

Switching back to affordable, reliable utensils will also save taxpayers half a million dollars, as "green" works and spoons are also considerably more expensive.

As they tend to do with most everything, environmentalists have come completely mentally unhinged and begun estimating the body count.

"Democrats see the cafeteria changes as symbolic of Republican hostility toward the environment," the San Francisco Chronicle reports of the decision to use utensils that can't even cut meatloaf.

"This seems like a small thing, but it sends a terrible message," wailed Rep. Chellie Pingree, D-Maine.

"I can hardly wait for the lead paint," Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., plaintively whined through Twitter.

The move is actually good for the environment, as well.  Pelosi's attempt to collect and recycle all the utensils increased total energy use, and the constant breakage and melting led to staffers using even more disposable utensils.

I'm not sure which environmentalist belief is crazier. 

Thinking that using sturdier, more reliable spoons that don't shatter in your eye is "Republican hostility toward the environment" or believing that using the wrong spoon will literally destroy the planet.

Norman LeBoon, and those who cry 'arrest my political opponents for...something'

The same liberals who demanded Sarah Palin be arrested for inciting violence seem to be silent about the conviction of Norman LeBoon, a Philadelphia man who posted an online video in which he threatened to kill Rep. Eric Cantor.


LeBoon donated to Barack Obama after Obama traveled to Phildelphia and told local Dems assembled at a June 14, 2008 rally "If they (Republicans) bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun...Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl."

Six days later LeBoon donated $250 to Obama, followed by a $255 contribution the next day.

Did Obama incite LeBoon to violence?

No.  Obama is in no way responsible or related.  Additionally free speech is unalienable in this country, a protection from government aggression with its roots in political expression.

But the connection is notable, as liberals exploited the tragic shooting of Rep. Danielle Giffords to demand those with differing political opinions be rounded up and arrested.  They could at least be intellectually honest and consistent.

Wash. Post writer claims taxpayer-funded abortions provide important service -- exterminating the poor

Lori Ziganto at RedState points us to a shameful, disgusting article in The Washington Post by Ezra Klein, in which Klein actually claims a government program of eugenics against the poor is of compelling national interest.

In a tirade defending taxpayer-funded abortion liberal Klein writes:

"The services Planned Parenthood provides save the federal government a lot of money. It’s somewhat cold to put it in these terms, but taxpayers end up bearing a lot of the expense for unintended pregnancies among people without the means to care for their children."

Yes, the same liberals who claim on Election Day to be compassionate advocates of the poor publicly write in national papers the government should support a national program focusing on exterminating the poor.

And who are primarily the "people without the means to care for their children?"  An audit of New York's clinics, for example, finds 49.8 percent are black.  Other pro-aborts have dropped the euphemisms entirely and openly (and falsely) credited the long-term decline seen in violent crime to Planned Parenthood's strategy of focusing on performing abortions in inner cities.

So, Klein believes the federal government should engage in a campaign of targeted eugenics against people who consume lots of services. 

Keep that in mind next time Klein writes government-run health care in the United States won't do what it does in every other country -- terminate care to demographic populations who consume a lot of health care (usually the elderly and minorities,) threatening access to care for larger numbers of voters.

Pelosi blows off budget negotiations to deliver a speech. About herself.

For some Democrats, keeping the government spending pipeline gushing was so important they were willing to go on national television and claim millions of seniors, children and women would die in the streets if non-essential government workers had to turn in their BlackBerrys during a temporary paid furlough.

But former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had to focus all her attention on a far more important issue.

Pelosi skipped town Friday and blew off budget negotiations so as not to distract her from the momentous task of flying to Boston to give a speech. 

About herself.

Solomont Lecture at Tufts University today.  The California Democrat, who served as the first female speaker of the House, planned to reflect on her career and the importance of public service during a 2 p.m. address in the school's Cohen Auditorium," The Boston Globe reports.

Liberals 'get bloody' for Wisconsin, Part 13: SEIU thugs pounce on Wash. state troopers

Once again, liberalism makes itself synonymous with animalistic violence.

SEIU thugs, the same group who had several members arrested for savagely stomping down black conservative activist in St. Louis while hurling racist slurs at him, smash their way through the Washington state capitol on their way to invade the governor's office.

Stopped at the door by state troopers, the SEIU thugs begin screaming like animals, hoping to intimidate the troopers.  Finally, they begin trying to bulldoze over the troopers and eventually physically assault them.  Thirteen were arrested.

The intended message is clear.  Unions consider assault, invasion, violence and intimidation to be legitimate tools of political discourse.

It's also the latest in a new wave of instances where union bosses have people smash their way into state capitols where they intimidate and assault citizens and officers.  Said union bosses then tell officials they can make the problem go away if they get some money.

Remember back when that was called "racketeering?"  I guess they don't prosecute because purple and yellow clash with blaze orange.

Obama spending $20 million on Pakistani 'Sesame Street'

Barack Obama won't sign paychecks for soldiers, but he will sign off on a $20 million plan to spend U.S. tax dollars so Pakistanis can watch 'Sesame Street.'

"In a $20m (£12m) remake of the classic American children's programme, the setting for the show has moved from the streets of New York to a lively village in Pakistan...The financing for the series comes from USAid, the economic assistance arm of the US government...," the Guardian reported Thursday.

"Under Barack Obama, US civilian assistance to Pakistan has tripled to $1.5bn a year but the money does not seem to have made much obvious impact," the Guardian reports.

So what services is Obama protecting by vetoing soldiers' paychecks to preserve $300 million in corporate welfare for Planned Parenthood?

For one, the organization, wants to use its taxpayer-funded services to make sure the nation's babies are sexy enough.

In this document, titled "Meeting Your Children's Basic Needs," Planned Parenthood tells parents, "We need to give babies a sense of themselves, their sexuality, and their bodies from birth."

Planned Parenthood also instructs parents to "acknowledge that my child is a sexual being."

That would certainly explain Planned Parenthood's new publicity campaign:
