President Obama's Prayer B'fast Address

'There's no God who condones the taking of innocent life'

I'm paraphrasing here from a radio news piece.

What's wrong with this statement?

Well, teeny babies aren't technically "life" yet, so he can have a clear conscience, I suppose.

And, also, it depends on what the definition of "is", is.

Re: President Obama's Prayer B'fast Address

you have to understand the mind of a modern American Liberal.

an Innocent life would be someone like a terrorist in Gitmo Cuba or a convicted murderer.

a non-innocent life would be an elderly person who is terminally ill or a baby that has yet to be born... even in the 9th month of pregnancy.


once you understand this it all becomes crystal clear!

Sad but true. You left out, or invalid, like Terri Shaviro (sp).

Doesn't the Koran command death to infidels or non believers?
Is a non believer automatically guilty?

Once you understand them, it is REALLY easy to predict what they will be for and what they will be against. I feel like "I" do (understand them) as well.
One of my favorite Rush quotes (disturbing as the mental image is) is "I know liberals like I know every square inch of my glorious naked body".

Re: President Obama's Prayer B'fast Address

"Obama planned to sign an executive order later in the day creating the White House Office on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. It would expand and refocus the faith-based office founded by former President George W. Bush.

The president will also appoint Joshua DuBois, a 26-year-old Pentecostal minister who headed religious outreach for Obama's Senate office and later his campaign, to lead the partnerships office and name 25 religious and secular leaders to a new advisory board."


Interesting.
Reckon what kind of 'Pentecostal Minister' Rev DuBois is?

Re: President Obama's Prayer B'fast Address

"...The most contentious issue that Mr. DuBois will have to help resolve is whether Mr. Obama should rescind a Bush administration legal memorandum that allows religious groups that receive government money to hire only those who share their faith.

Mr. Obama said in a campaign speech last June, “If you get a federal grant, you can’t use that grant money to proselytize to the people you help and you can’t discriminate against them — or against the people you hire — on the basis of their religion.”

Mr. DuBois led an effort during the transition to consult with dozens of religious and charity groups about the work of the faith-based office, including what to do about the hiring question, and whether the faith-based centers that Mr. Bush inserted into 12 federal agencies should all be preserved...."

Very insidious, these little "outreach" programs.
