I have been threatened with excommunication from the Church of Conventional Wisdom unless I stop my incessant attacks against Barack Obama on this blog. So I am duely cowed and will herein provide some selected kudos to the White House and its apparatchiks for their successes over the last three years. As well as I can remember I now offer these paeans to our President for:
1) The Navy Seals' 2009 sniper killing of those Somali pirates after they had captured a U.S. merchant vessel (see: ABC News Account)
2) The increased tempo of U.S. drone attacks in Yemen, Afghanistan and Pakistan which have killed many al Qaeda and Taliban higher-ups.
3) The Navy Seals' bold 2011 attack inside Pakistan and the resultant killing of Osama Bin Laden (see: ABC News Account )
4) The Navy-Seal recent rescue of two Americans aid workers in Somali (see: ABC News Account)
5) The Navy Seals' early 2011 killing of two Somali pirates after they had killed four Americans in their yacht off the Somali coast (see: NY Times Account)
6) Last year, the U.S.'s. seccessful backseat overthrow and snuffing of Muammar Gaddafi in Libya (see: Reuters Account)
Other than Obama's examplar family life, this is all I can immediately bring to mind without contacting David Axelrod for help.
Actually, come this fall, I might be tempted to write in a vote for the head of the Navy Seals for President ...
Well, this here is what I would call a failure to excommunicate. All hail to your newfound even-handedness. Now maybe you can explain to Hucksterbee and O'reilly that 3% of Planned Parenthood's budget does not translate to an " abortion agenda." Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI hate to do a u-turn in the midst of my conversion but even Media Matters says that Planned Parenthood spends 15% of its budget on "abortion services" see: http://mediamatters.org/research/201102180003.
ReplyDeletePlanned Parenthood perfoms 300,000+ abortions a year on an annual budget of abount $1.1 billion (of which $317 million is supplied by the U.S. taxpayer). That works out to about $4,000 per abortion if that was all they did with this money (about what a respectable hospital/OB/Gyn would charge).
If P.P. only spent 3% of its budget(= $33 million) on 300,000+ abortions, it would pay the abortionists only something like $110 per D&C. I don't think that this would even pay for the cleanup process.
Please don't believe what you read on left-wing blogs like FactCheck.org
