Planned Parenthood's War on Women, with Assistance from the White House

Source
Planned Parenthood has been caught, not just once, but twice, counseling women on the details of obtaining  an abortion in case the baby is a GIRL.

Yesterday the House voted on a bill that would ban abortions based on gender. The bill specifically excuses abortion providers from criminal action if the abortionist doesn't know if the abortion is based on gender of the baby.

President Obama has now stated his opposition to the bill. Specifically, the White House doesn't want to "subject doctors to criminal prosecution if they fail to determine the motivations behind a very personal and private decision"....

...even though the doctor must "knowingly" perform a sex-selective abortion.

Perhaps President Obama doesn't want to tick off Planned Parenthood which is spending 1.5 Million Dollars on ad campaigns for Obama's re-election.

Interestingly, the bill also prohibits abortion on account of race or ethnicity.

So, Just What is the Truth?

Just the truth, please, President Obama.

Obama's literary agent in 1991 published an article stating that Obama was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.

Authors approve these releases. Now, then, which to believe?  And which is the lie?

More Loose Lips (That Sink Ships)

from Wikipedia



Well, Vice-President Biden had loose lips a year ago. (See here)

Well, he's not the only ones with loose lips.

The tell-all book about our country's anti-terrorist activities, by two New York Times national security reporters, was in fact based on information leaked by the White House.

The authors of  Counterstrike: The Untold Story of America's Secret Campaign Against Al Qaeda say that they immediately felt heat from the Pentagon for dishing too much operational info about the killing of Osama bin Laden."

Their reply to the Pentagon official?  “Your civilian leaders make choices about describing missions, perhaps for their own partisan political ends..."

Sowing Racial Discord

You can't find a transcript of the speech, but Texas Senator Royce West (D-Dallas) jumped on the bandwagon of using Martin's death/killing to foment racial conflict.

 West, in a speech at Paul Quinn college, an historically black college in Dallas, spoke of "the assassination of Trayvon Martin" while questioning Texas' self-defense laws.

 
West was equating Texas' 'Castle Law' with Florida's laws, which in fact are quite different.

 
West joins other Democratic politicians and minions in using and misusing this unfortunate incident:

  • NBC edited the 911 tape of George Zimmerman's tape to advance the racial controversy.
  •  President Obama stirred the pot by equating himself and his children with Martin.
  •  Al Sharpton called for "civil disobedience" if Zimmerman was not arrested.
  •  The New Black Panther Party offered a bounty on Zimmerman, yet the Justice Department (under the leadership of Eric Holder) does nothing.
  •  Congressional members acted out: Representative Bobby Rush (D-Illinois) wore a hoodie on the House floor; Representative Maxine Waters (D-California) insisted this is a hate crime;  Representative John Lewis (D-Georgia) spoke of "black parents....realize that in the 21st century they may still live in a circumstance where the law is no protection, government authorities permit the worst violence, and little is done to enforce justice." 

The newest released evidence shows that immediately after the shooting, Zimmerman had cuts to the back of his head, a broken nose and black eyes.

I find Martin's killing tragic and appalling.  All killings are abhorrent and detestable. It's not how we are to treat each other. If Martin was killed in self-defense, that is awful also. Yet if this killing was in self-defense, then it's Martin's responsiblity.

Yet even more reprehensible is using this to create racial tensions and turmoil. Shame on West!

Why Do You Suppose Folks Perceive Obama as a bit Narcissistic?

Why would people think that?


Let us first look at the White House webpage of presidential autobiographies. I'm sure everyone (or most everyone) would agree that this is a useful and interesting source of knowlege about our Presidents. However, the site has recently been changed a bit. Here's some examples:

President Herbert Hoover: “President Herbert Hoover signed the bill founding the Department of Veterans Affairs July 21, 1930. President Obama is committed to making sure that the VA, the second-largest cabinet department, serves the needs.....

President Franklin D. Roosevelt: “On August 14, 1935, President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act. Today the Obama Administration continues to protect seniors....

President Dwight D. Eisenhower: “President Dwight Eisenhower established the President's Council on Youth Fitness on July 16, 1956....Today the Council is still going strong—with Olympians and professional athletes on board—working in conjunction with the First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move initiative.....

President John F. Kennedy: "President John F. Kennedy famously suggested the American people: “Ask what you can do for your country.” In 1961, the Peace Corps was created, facilitating service among citizens working toward peace in developing countries. In 2011, President Obama celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Peace Corps with a Presidential Proclamation."

And one more:

President Ronald Regan: "In a June 28, 1985 speech Reagan called for a fairer tax code, one where a multi-millionaire did not have a lower tax rate than his secretary. Today, President Obama is calling for the same with the Buffet Rule."

Let us also look at President Obama's speech after the killing of Osama Bin Laden:
“Tonight, I can report . . . And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta . . . I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden . . . I met repeatedly with my national security team . . . I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action. . . . Today, at my direction . . . I’ve made clear . . . Over the years, I’ve repeatedly made clear . . . Tonight, I called President Zardari . . . and my team has also spoken. . .These efforts weigh on me every time I, as Commander-in-Chief . . . Finally, let me say to the families . . . I know that it has, at times, frayed. . . .”

And that of President Bush's after the capture of Saddam Hussein:

”The success of yesterday’s mission is a tribute to our men and women now serving in Iraq . The operation was based on the superb work of intelligence analysts.....The operation was carried out with skill and precision by a brave fighting force. Our servicemen and women and our coalition allies have faced many dangers in the hunt for members of the fallen regime....Their work continues, and so do the risks. Today, on behalf of the nation, I thank the members of our Armed Forces and I congratulate ‘em
So what do you think?

A Warren of Lies

Elizabeth Warren, who is running for a Senate seat in Massachusetts, has been in the news lately claiming that she is 1/32 Cherokee Indian.

She bases this claim, according to genealogists at the (apparently) famed New England Historic Genealogical Society, on an 1894 marriage certificate (which doesn't mention the words "American Indian" or some-such similar wording) and a 2006 family newsletter (which other learned genealogists dismiss as "nothing more than rumor").

Also presented for evidence of Native American ancestry is the fact that Warren's cousin, Janyce Rowsey, edited a cookbook entitled "Pow Wow Chow".

from Amazon.com
I kid you not---you can't make this stuff up.

Warren, despite nothing to back up her claims, yesterday reiterated her claims to have Cherokee ancestry on CNN.
