The almost bone jarring contrast of Obama’s speech at Planned Parenthood freezes every normal sense of credulity in unbelief. The story of one baby born alive in the Pennsylvanias’ Gosnell horror mill is that the child was swimming in a toilet trying to get out. It was pulled from the toilet only to have its spinal cord snipped while the mother was still in the room.
Yes, Mr. Obama – give us the 50s – any day.
The main stream media reported that Obama delayed his now famous (or infamous) speech at Planned Parenthood so he could visit and console the families of those who lost loved ones in the West, Texas fertilizer plant explosion.
It seemed for a moment that the president had a heart and perhaps he could put some priorities in order. That is called PR or in a far more honest vein it is pure propaganda.
After hearing of the horrors and murders in Pennsylvania under Dr. Gosnell we may be better served to see the president skip both visits and instead visit the Gosnell clinic for a pause and a prayer – if the ghosts of those murdered there would allow it.
Had he visited the clinic on the day the baby was swimming in the toilet, would he have pulled it out and demanded its life be preserved? Would he in a moment of honest conscience stood with the helpless?
Mr. Obama has already answered that question. In the speech made at Planned Parenthood he clearly stated where he would stand. He said “You’ve also got a president who’s going to be right there with you, fighting every step of the way.” Fox News April 26, 2013
Mr. Obama sees himself as leading the nation into the 21st century and justifies his abortion stand as protecting women’s health. We can only wonder if he skipped every biology class ever offered in high school and college. Being pregnant is not a health problem and living perfectly viable unborn human beings; in or out of the mother’s womb, don’t have any health problems, unless the will to live is now considered unhealthy.
Yes, we’ll take the 50s any day, when pregnancy was not a health problem and no president would be found fighting for the freedom to kill the unborn.
Much about the 50s was all that was ever right with America. Women didn’t think they were in a war with conservatives, but knew they were only in a war with over eager young men, who usually lost which in turn produced a situation where there was no need for an abortion. Yeah, we’ll take those days.
We will also take the 50s presidents who left a legacy for us rather than a stream of blood from our own offspring.
President Truman who took up after Franklin Roosevelt from 1950 to 1952 faced and reigned in the reckless power of the corrupt unions instead of coddling them to buy votes as Barack Obama has done. He also gave us the Truman Doctrine which served to halt the expansion of communism in Eastern Europe. Mr. Obama has brought more communistic socialism into a once free nation than any president in history.
From 1953 to 1961 we were graced with one of the best presidents in our history. Eisenhower knew the strategies and planning it would take to win the greatest war in history. Mr. Obama doesn’t understand the war on terror and can’t discern between an act of terrorism and ‘work place violence’ as the Fort Hood massacre resplendently illustrates.
Obama has given us failed green projects like Solyndra and bailouts while Eisenhower built the nations highway system, being used to this day.
Americans have rated Eisenhower among the top ten presidents of all time. Only liberals would dare to put Mr. Obama anywhere on the ratings scale.
Don’t make light of the 50s, but hang your head in shame for even suggesting that those days of yore can be legitimately compared to anything you have accomplished in almost five years in office.
The 50s is when the phrase from our Declaration of Independence actually had some meaning, namely “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”
Everything this administration has pursued ends in death and little or no happiness for anyone in this nation, let’s see.
Taxing the rich – death of free enterprise
Running guns to Mexico – death for border patrolmen
Dropping bombs from drones – death of non-combatant people including Americans Ignoring cries for help for embassies under attack – death for our ambassador and several brave U.S. Servicemen
The fight to abort perfectly healthy unborn children – death on a grand scale, 60 million and still counting!
Obamacare – death or at least the suggestion of it in assisted suicide counseling
Fighting the Canadian pipeline – death to ending our dependence on foreign oil from flighty nations and some of our worst enemies
Reckless spending – death to the fiscal wellbeing of the future generation and any hope of financial recovery.
Promotion of the gay agenda and same sex marriage – death to all morality, and the oldest God given convention since the beginning of time.
Yes, Mr. President the 50s looks pretty good standing next to you.

There Is No Truth In America Today
Faced with the onslaught of misinformation coming from every angle imaginable, I’ve come to the following conclusion: there is no truth in America today. America is a nation of liars. That is the unfortunate truth. It does not matter where the lies are coming from. Lies are lies. The art of lying has become second nature in politics today and is supported by the national media. The leaders of our nation have become experts at looking directly into the lens of the camera and unleashing an endless stream of misinformation to bolster their personal agendas. It does not matter if it’s a bald-faced lie; the only thing that matters is that they know they can get away with it. This is why there is no truth in America today. Americans are sick of the lies and deception. Enough is enough.
Not a day goes by where we are not being mislead. And it doesn’t matter what the topic of discussion is. It could be the economy. It could be job growth. It could be a variety of different topics such as immigration, gun control, same sex marriage, the sequester, etc. It could even be a tragic event in a far away country where lives were lost and nobody in our government had the decency to intervene. Rather than accept responsibility for their poor judgment, they chose instead to lie about what really happened. In a despicable act of cowardice, they chose to fabricate the details of what had transpired in an attempt to hide the truth. In short, they lied to all of us. This is unacceptable.
Or is it? I am offended to state that not only is this acceptable; it is normal in today’s political circles. It gets even worse. There was a time when honor and integrity meant something. Not anymore. Now one can sit confidently and lie before a congressional investigation, yet still be considered the front-runner for your party’s nomination for the highest office in the land. It’s true. Lying doesn’t matter anymore. Instead, what matters today is mastering the art of manipulating the electorate, regardless of how this is accomplished. The compulsive liar knows it isn’t difficult to manipulate someone who is unwilling to seek the truth. This is why they can get away with doing what they do best. If no one is calling foul, there is no accountability.
There was a time when lying was frowned upon with utter disdain. Those caught in a lie lost all credibility. Now it’s like a parlor game. If you’re caught lying, you are not immediately cast aside for not being trustworthy. In a complete reversal, you are now judged by your ability to tell a lie and get away with it. Ironically, the lie isn’t the topic of discussion anymore; that is considered a normal part of being a politician. The fact is that politicians lie every single day. This is expected. The nature of the lie and whether or not it will have a lingering impact, positive or negative, is all that matters now. Telling the lie isn’t important. If you can tell a lie and withstand the potential short-term backlash in order to accomplish your long term goal, then it’s a lie worth telling.
No one knows this better than the current occupant of the oval office. Through a litany of lies and deception, he convinced a low-information electorate to re-elect him to a second term in office. There is no question his opponent had the better qualifications, but it didn’t matter in the end. What mattered most were the systematic attacks on the character of the losing candidate, whether they were true or not. The old adage “if you tell a lie enough times, then it becomes the truth” was in full view for all to see. Even when caught in an obvious lie, the incumbent steadfastly continued to repeat the lie over and over again, in complete disregard of the truth. It didn’t matter what the truth was, so long as enough people believed it was true.
There is no truth in America today. This pattern of deceit has even begun to trickle down. People are beginning to lie about everything. They lie on their unemployment applications. They lie on their disability applications. They lie on their food stamps application. It’s now the norm rather than the exception for many. When someone lies indiscriminately, it is no longer an issue of integrity; there is no integrity. All that’s left is an entitlement mentality where one is dependent on the government for their basic needs. This is not the America forged by our Founding Fathers. This is a different one, an America faced with an uncertain future. Welcome to today’s harsh reality.
