Hypocrisy Starts At The Top

  • Thursday, October 1, 2015

As I sit here this evening listening to Obama lament the tragic death of so many students on a college campus today, I shake my head at his utter hypocrisy.  He dramatically reaches out to all Americans to consider this tragic loss of life, pleading for background checks, mental health assistance, and (of course) gun legislation to help prevent this moving loss of innocent life from ever happening again.  

Funny, I didn't hear him reach out to all of us and our senators this week to save the life of the innocent unborn, or even those babies born alive and then "harvested" for their body parts.  Mr. President, look at the videos like I have, and then judge for yourself.  How could you or your party (much less any feeling human being) vote no, or threaten to veto a bill introduced Monday in the Senate that only, only, said we would render medical attention to any fetus/ child "born alive" as a result of a botched abortion.  

Forget the abortion argument  from either side for a minute, we can discuss that subject another day.  This bill only dealt with babies left to die on the table after surviving an abortion.  Don't give me that "the video's were doctored" garbage.  Even "snippets" of these videos (which are valid unedited segments ) are real, I've seen them.  

I dare Obama or anyone to look at the tapes.  Most of those voting against this bill have admitted to having never even looked  at the tapes.  Are you afraid of what it would do to your utter lack of conscience?  By all that is holy, how could anyone say no to this "Born Alive Act" as they did, and still look themselves in the mirror, look in the face of their children or grandchildren, or any innocent child, or even call on an almighty God except to ask forgiveness for themselves and our nation for loosing its humanity, dignity, and self respect.  

We can only continue downhill as a nation as we tread this path of death to our beautiful little children.

It's a shame we have so many gun battles in certain parts of the city. An outside could come in, look at a map with the number of gun incidents and quickly formulate that most of inside Chattanooga ... more
