The truce still holds, the rockets still haven’t fired but some things are unfortunately returning to normal:
Hundreds of Palestinians are starting to repair tunnels in Gaza that are used for smuggling in goods from Egypt.
Israel, which ended its 22-day offensive last Sunday, has warned of renewed military strikes on the strip if the tunnels are reopened.
If Hamas rearms and rockets return then so will the war.
It hit me that I didn’t specify how we got to the current 5-2 count with Carter in the lead.
The president got one vote for Arthur with the predator strike in Pakistan.
He got three additional Carter votes for the following:
The Jimmy carter walk. (I know it’s cheap but all I could see was Carter when he did it)
The unwillingness of his own press people to confirm the strike above
The call for Israel to open up the Gaza checkpoints
No points yet for the Mitchell appointment but that’s close.
As I’ve made clear on this blog, I’m a practicing Roman Catholic. I believe the reason to be a Catholic is because it is true. I’ve also stated that Abortion is the killing of human life and comparable to slavery.
So why no outraged posts concerning the change in abortion funding rules under Obama? Mainly because this was not an outrageous act.
I don’t mean that in the sense that it isn’t a deeply wrong thing that aids and abets a significant evil that will destroy lives, scar people and help cause suffering in this world and damnation in the next to many. It will do all those things. I don’t in the least disagree with The Anchoress, L.A. Catholic, The Curt Jester or Gateway Pundit. I just can’t get work into a lather over it.
Why? Because this is a liberal democrat. To his party Abortion is a sacrament. He stated clearly that he supported Roe v Wade and that he would repeal these things. The time to get outraged was when this was declared and to campaign against the election of people who would support such a thing and a congress that would back him up. Not after his election when he does what we all knew was going to happen.
This is not outrageous behavior for a liberal democrat. It is evil but not outrageous.
Apparently the Anchoress has come to the same conclusion about Obama and Carter as I. However she doesn’t have the hope of a turn toward Chester Arthur that I do.
Then again the Obama’s gitmo moves are a Carter vote so she might have a point.
I guess we will see.
My current count is Carter 5 Arthur 2
Update: Welcome Anchoress readers, take a peek around. You might find the essays on belief of interest or a little debate on the subject. I’d also appreciate any new perspectives on Anna Maria College after my son’s visit. And if you are looking for remote PC support I do that too.
