Off to the party

I’ll be heading off to a friend’s party in a bit so if your comments are not approved in a timely manor that’s why.

Unfortunately the couple that was coming with us has one mother and one daughter down sick, but that means I might take a detour to show the wife where Anna Maria College is.

Since that visit the boy’s been accepted to Emmanuel, Fitchburg State, Bridgewater State, Curry and Newbury with various scholarship packages offered. So far Anna Maria has the offered best financial package of the batch but he’s reached no decision yet. I’m sure he’ll visit at least a couple more before the final decision is made.

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.

Arthur vs Carter The updated count

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.

Where’s my outrage?

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.
