You shall not give any of your offspring to offer them to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God; I am the Lord. (Leviticus 18:21)
(Tim, w/thanks to Kevin) Because it's so very caustic, I never look at The American Spectator. Last week, though, a friend on staff with Inter-Varsity forwarded me one of their articles written by David N. Bass titled, "The Obama Snooker." True to Spectator form, it's still very much worth reading as we watch the Submergent Church crowd hop on Senator Obama's bloody hearse while claiming it's the Good Humor Ice Cream truck. Noting Senator Obama's marketing efforts aimed at Christians, Bass comments:
The rub is that some evangelicals will buy the line, and Obama is a master at delivering it. Take his speech at a Planned Parenthood event last year. Appearing before an adoring crowd that could barely contain its uproarious applause at several points, Obama talked about his commitment to "choice," but he blunted his remarks by saying many pro-lifers are people of "good will."
Senator Obama is right to acknowledge that many anti-abortionists are people of "good will." Problem is, he then goes on to attack them for the very thing that proves their integrity: Namely, their hatred for the bloody slaughter of 1,300,000 unborn babies in abortuaries of the Molechaust each year in our own nation, alone...
Bass continues:
(Obama) also chided those who stand in the way of finding commonality on the abortion issue. "They want us to believe that there is nothing that unites us as Americans -- there is only what divides us," he said. "They'll seek out the narrowest and most divisive ground. That is the strategy to always argue small instead of looking at the big picture."
Well,
yes, when there are two sides to an issue and the point of division is
whether millions of uborn babies should be ripped to pieces in their
mothers' wombs by doctors and nurses paid to carry out the despicable
act, what exactly would be left to unite us? A unified front against
underinflated tires? A preference for burpless cucumbers?
Senator
Obama then issues the sort of triumphalistic prognostication typical of
his campaign. Surveying Americans who protest the sacrifice of our
unborn on the altar of Molech, he says:
"They will stand in the way of any attempt to find common ground.... Their days are growing dark. It is time to turn the page."
To which Bass responds:
So, what would "common ground" on abortion look like in Obama's administration? He answered that question later in the speech. "The first thing I'd do as president would be to sign the Freedom of Choice Act," he said, referring to legislation that would wipe out all state and federal abortion restrictions, even the partial-birth abortion ban supported by the vast majority of Americans.
Way to reach out, Barack.
