Rabid vs Vapid?
In an effort to welcome one of our newer contributors, Doug, and to prove to him that I like some of the things his messiah chosen Presidential candidate has to say, I bring your attention to a NewsBuster article regarding Ron Paul's appearance on "The View."
While I believe that there are more reasons to oppose abortion than just the fact that Roe-v-Wade is inherently bad law (anti-federalist at least, totally unconstitutional at worst), I must say I like Ron Paul's Federalist position with regard to many issues. I too agree that the Federal Government has been, is now, and will continue to stick it's nose much too far into our business and we need to restrict that whenever and wherever possible. And I like the way Mr. Paul maneuvered Joy Behar (and Whoopi Goldberg to a lesser extent) into admitting that - at least in some circumstances - abortion is murder, even if that was just a tacit admission. Whenever you can get flaming liberals to admit something like that in front of a nationally televised audience it is a net gain. Kudos to Mr. Paul for taking it to these two, staying on message and being consistent with his argument (a problem, I admit, he seldom has).
That having been said, what's up with Whoopi Goldberg's comments:
Well, that’s, that’s the idea. But here’s my question: If you make a decision that this is where you need to go, because I said to somebody else earlier on this show, no one makes this decision lightly. This is not someone somebody says "oh I think I'll go get this." This is not a fun thing to go do. So someone has come to that place to make that decision is because it really needs to be there. Now, I think you should be able to get some help if you're reaching out for somebody like that. What bothers me is that there is no one who says "here’s what we can do" because, you know, we have all of these children. What are we going to do with them? If everybody has the kids. Nobody, the churches don't want to take them. Nobody wants to put them in the thing- no I want to finish the thing, period.
She says "we have all of these children" like that's a bad thing! And "What are we going to do with them?" What kind of question is that? I thought these liberals were all about the children. Whoopi's comments perfectly exemplify what we conservative have been saying for decades - Liberals (and the Democrats they support) all claim to be the compassionate ones, the caring ones, the diverse, the tolerant, but time and time again their motives and machination are betrayed by their words. Whoopi's argument here is that in order to be compassionate about the plight of "all of these children" we need to have the Federal Government sanction their - elimination. (I use the word "elimination" here as a euphemism, and that euphemism is a perfect parallel. Abortion supporters use it the same way now as it was used originally, as a more polite and tactful word to describe an ugly and despicable act.)
This is just one of the reasons we fight so hard against these people. Because in the debate about abortion - as with so many other issues - when the liberals start trying to legislate their compassion, someone usually ends up dead.
PS Whoopi Goldberg's 39 year old child could not be reached for comment.
