Over at National Review and in his syndicated column, Rich Lowry does a nice job of dismantling the claim from the Administration and Left-wing blogs that Sonia Sotomayor “misspoke” when she claimed that Latino women are better judges than white men.
The Murder Of George Tiller
June 1, 2009I will state first and foremost that I don’t believe George Tiller was a good man. He was not merely a doctor who provided abortions. He was a pro-abortion zealot who pursued his cause relentlessly.
This does not mean that his murder was not a great evil. It was.
The number of pro-life advocates who plant bombs or shoot doctors is so small it barely registers in any real sense, despite the hype and the desires of the Left to portray pro-lifers as drooling, troglodytic, mouth-breathing Christians. My God, the horror! Christians!
Pro-lifers have made great strides in recent years (a recent Gallup poll indicates that for the first time a majority of Americans consider themselves pro-life). These great strides have come because the pro-life argument is being backed up by advances in science and the strength of principled convictions. The argument is not being won by murder or terrorism, and it never will be.
The abortions that George Tiller performed are something that he will have to answer for in the next life. His murderer will have to answer for his equally great sins.
The Left in this country will no doubt rush to the fore to denounce pro-lifers as being the same type of Right-wing extremists that Homeland Secretary Janet Napolitano warned about. The fact that this is a lie and a gross misrepresentation of the beliefs of tens of millions of people across this great country is irrelevant. The insane murder of George Tiller puts an arrow in the political quiver of the pro-abortion movement, and they will use it. Pro-lifers must resist the temptation to play politics. I hope the man who killed him spends the rest of his life in prison, but that will never return the man to the family who loved him and who he loved. George Tiller is dead. R.I.P.
The Disgusting Charlie Rangel
June 1, 2009Whenever I think Charlie Rangel, the U.S. Representative from Harlem, has hit a new low in public discourse (which is every time I hear him or see him), he manages to lower the bar even more. He’s a disgraceful old cow who really needs to be put out to pasture.
The other night there was a terrible accident in New York. An off-duty police officer found some punk trying to break into his car. The cop pulled his gun and pursued the punk. During the pursuit, another cop intervened. Without knowing the situation, he ordered the off-duty cop to stop and drop his gun. Instead, the off-duty officer turned to the cop with gun in hand and compounded his error by not identifying himself as a cop. The end result was that a cop killed another cop. So stupid and senseless, this was a tragic accident that will change the lives of everyone involved in it.
This is New York. Enter the race hustlers. You see, the off-duty officer who was killed, Omar Edwards, was black. The police officer who shot him, Andrew Dunton, was white.
The disgusting Charlie Rangel then made a comment when asked about what President Obama should do on his “date” in New York. Rangel advised the President not to “run around East Harlem unidentified.” In Rangel’s world, the Secret Service is the one thing protecting the President of the United States from being capped by rogue white police officers who randomly shoot black men on the street. Think I’m exaggerating?
“If [he] did not have the Secret Service . . . around him, [city cops] wouldn’t know if he was president of the United States.”
Now, Rangel has apologized. Sort of.
He now says that it was inappropriate to mention the President in his statement about the shooting. But he maintains that the police officers need better training (i.e., sensitivity training, I’m sure) and called on the Justice Department to “review the problems in the New York City Police Department when black officers are killed by whites, which too often is the case.”
So the closest we’ll get to an apology from this pig is to say that he shouldn’t have mentioned the President of the United States when he was only trying to call attention to the dozens, or hundreds, or is it thousands? of black police officers that are ruthlessly shot to death by white police officers every day in Harlem. Right?
Will somebody please tell this tax-cheating, corrupt, Commie-loving excuse for a man to shut the hell up?
