Another thought. It is interesting that so few people write comments when the subject is abortion.

"Gosnell simply went further in his assumptions than did his more antiseptic colleagues." Or did he? Was he just the one who was CAUGHT. I find it difficult to believe that Gosnell is the only one who has been doing this -- possibly in more antiseptic conditions -- but still doing it. Whatever the case may be abortion is killing an innocent life, and it makes me wonder about the people who can casually support killing the unborn and still be adamant that a death penalty for someone proven guilty of heinous crimes should be abolished.

Or Islamists?

Obama can be all of what you have said, and STILL be run by others. In fact, he would HAVE to be the person you have outlined in order to be the front man for whoever is behind him. Remember, he came from nowhere, with no money (had to "borrow" money in order to buy his house in Chicago) and with no real experience ran for and became POTUS. If it looks like a fish, smells like a fish, it much BE a fish. Some things just don't compute in the narrative of Obama's life and experiences.

Obama is a puppet just following orders from "above". How else could an unknown very junior senator become president so quickly? It take money and it takes power to become president, and a former community organizer/junior senator doesn't have that kind of power or money. So who/what is behind the "throne" of the disinterested, unknowing man who is pretending to be our president? Answer that question and you will know who is running this country. It certainly isn't the-campaigner-in-chief.

going and how it is going to get there -- but still they vote.

Sorry Mr. Ransom, but I think that Mr. Klein and the White House thinking that many American's are dumb enough to believe the cr** that he and the White House are putting out is true is closer to correct than it is to wrong. How else could those Americans have voted Obama back into office? All you have to watch is a few episodes of the various "man on the street" interviews to realize just how uninformed (a nicer word to describe them than dumb) so many people are. The house around them is burning down and they have their heads in the sand -- or at least glued to "Reality" T-V programs. They know who all of the movie and T-V stars are but they don't know who Joe Biden is, or many more of those making decisions about where our country is

Dan I liked this (unfortunately) true statement so much that I have sent it on to others.

The scary thing about this report of these scandals is this evidenced in this statement: "... the DoJ getting private phone records of reporters gets under the skin of ONE OF OBAMA'S STRONGEST SUPPORT GROUPS -- REPORTERS." No Republic can survive when the media, from which people get their knowledge of what is going on in their government, is undeniably in support of one side of the political spectrum. The media's very job is to be "under the skin of" ALL politicians no matter their political bent -- giving them a bad time at even small missteps. How else can the public know what those who are supposed to be serving them are doing? That the media hasn't done it's job for a very long time is evident in how divided our country has become.

Gosnell is only the tip of the iceberg. With all of the knowledge that we have available, how can anyone say that abortion is the answer to pregnancy. At what week into a pregnancy does a baby-to-be become a human being? We think we know more than God Himself when we take the life of an unborn child. When doctors can successfully operate on a child who is still in the womb we need to rethink our ideas of when a human being becomes a human being. Clearly, as Dr. Gosnell has brought to our attention, before the 24 week cut-off date of some states.
