Death becomes them

Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


I guess the left and the pink conservatives callous their hearts to the unborn by rejecting a proposition central to Judeo-Christian thought regarding life and death: namely, that life is intrinsically good, and is therefore, sacrosanct.

Yes, these secular barbaric “tools” see human beings as tools; and if they don’t somehow fit instrumentally within the secularists’ Darwinian, utilitarian utopia, they get tagged as “inconvenient” and are relegated to the “very expendable” list. That’s why abortion is no big deal, and neither is taking the life of a so-called defective child, or suicide, or “mercy killing” a helpless senior. But God help you if you should ever run a boat’s prop over a manatee’s back! They’ll get pissed!

In contrast with the secular “elite,” the “stupid,” “non-elite” and “archaic” Judeo-Christian constituency views human life (beginning at conception and lasting until the person naturally croaks) as intrinsically good and thus, sacred—not just instrumentally good.

The Judeo-Christian community believes that all people—from the embryo to the elderly, including severely developmentally disabled, people in comas and everything in between—have dignity and value. As Robert George said, “Their significance is not based upon what they can do, or how they make us feel or whether or not we approve of their quality of life, but principally because they live.”

And not only does the Party of Death (as Ramesh Ponnuru calls the liberals in his latest book) advocate the death of the unborn and the inconvenient, but they also want your tax dollar to pay for their death wishes, for all parents to butt out of their teen age daughter’s abortion plans and for the US to continue to stay left of Europe when it comes to abortion on demand. Consider all the above, those of you on the left and the right who cherish the unborn more than a sea cow, when you cast your vote during the mid-terms and when you’re looking for a candidate for ‘08.

Get Giles’ book, The Bulldog Attitude: Get It or Get Left Behind. It’s guaranteed to take the poo out of poodles and give them the Bulldog Attitude. Also, Logon to www.ClashRadio.com and check out Doug's latest interview with Ramesh Ponnuru, author of the book, The Party of Death.

Quick Correction.
Great article, Doug!
It really brings to light the unbelievable hypocrisy of the Libs.
Just a quick note:
It's not at 24 weeks that the baby sucks his thumb. New ultrasound technology has shown that at just NINE weeks the baby sucks its thumb.
It's also at NINE weeks that he sighs, stretches, yawns, and grasps.
We had a 4D at 16 weeks fetal age - our little boy was bouncing and spinning and smiling and swallowing amniotic fluid. He also rubbed the back of his head, and rubbed his eyes.
And he could have been legally killed for a few hundred bucks.
Disgusting.
