David Freddoso, Bane of the Obama left for daring to dirty the Obamessiah's brilliant white robes, has written an excellent article about Obama's support for infanticide. He begins by describing a nurse's eye-witness account of cradling a four month old baby boy, victim of a botched abortion, and watching him die because Illinois law and hospital staff permitted it.I think abortion is abhorrent, and words can't do justice to the evil of the Illinois infanticide law. But other things in the article caught my eye as well:
The hospital where the botched abortion turned into a baby killing is Christ Hospital, which is affiliated with the United Church of Christ. The sick and the dying must be the only thing keeping Our Heavenly Father from zapping that facility and everything in it to a crisp. Jesus turned over the tables in the temple over less than this. WWJD? He sure as hell wouldn't put his name on a building where practitioners inside kill babies.
Why is an organization that professes to be Christian allowing this barbaric practice on its premises? Probably has something to do with federal funding.
This is why I oppose all "faith based initiatives," regardless of who sponsors them. In every church and state argument, the specter of The Church controlling The Government is invoked. The cleared danger is The Government controlling The Church. Based on its track record, I don't want my government anywhere near my religion.
How could something like this happen in the Midwest? I know people in Illinois, I have family there. It is a state full of hard working, churchgoing, small town people with traditional values. How could they let such a law pass? Political apathy in the face of the corrupt Chicago Democratic machine that controls the state's politics. That seems to be the only answer. Dirty big city pols are so disgusting that people can't stand watching the political debauchery, so they turn off politics and go back to work.
Edmund Burke said all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. The good citizens of Illinois have proven that out. But in this case, evil also had help from a phony religious organization, the Illinois Legislature, and a young constitutional lawyer who defended it all named Barack Obama.
