An Inconvenient...Life?

According to Great Britain's top 'green adviser,' families with more than two children are a strain on the environment. According to Times Online,
Jonathon Porritt, who chairs the government’s Sustainable Development Commission, says curbing population growth through contraception and abortion must be at the heart of policies to fight global warming.
Porrit considers having more than two children 'irresponsible.' Isn't this amazing? We're finally seeing the logical end to the environmentalist movement -- the termination of life.

The US isn't far behind Great Britain on these matters. Remember last week when Nancy Pelosi said that 'family planning' (translation: contraceptives and abortions) would 'stimulate' the economy because it would cut the cost of health care and education for states?



Babies, to these people, are less important than the environment and the stock market. But ultimately this is not a battle about global warming and economics. Global warming is an utter farce, and everyone knows that you cannot 'stimulate' an economy without tax cuts. No, these issues all boil down to the most basic aspects of worldview. Obama, Pelosi, the American extreme left, and folks like this wacko in Great Britain are all nihilists. The rest of us, which I believe to still be the majority in this country, need to wake up to this reality now if we desire that there be any future for our children and grandchildren.

The Short Path to Disappointment

It didn't take long for President Obama to disappoint. On day three of his first term in office he overturned an 8 year long ban on state funding for family-planning groups that carry out or facilitate abortions around the world. He has made codifying his nihilistic worldview a top priority, something many of us who actually still think saw coming all along. The rest of America, including a sad number of my kin on the so-called 'religious right,' have in many ways become mindless drones who buy into the latest media hype and swallow the rabid messianic sensationalism surrounding the single most liberal, radical, inexperienced, and unqualified President in American history. This move to further enable abortion on a global scale will prove to only be the start of a long process of moral decay oozing from the pen of the Oval Office, which forces us to wonder if moral issues even matter to the majority of the voting populace anymore.

I choose to believe Archbishop Rino Fisichella in his assessment,

"I do not believe that those who voted for (Obama) took into consideration ethical themes, which were astutely left aside during the election debate. The majority of the American population does not take the same position as the president and his team."

If this statement is true then there is still hope. No, not 'hype' like what surrounds President Obama. But hope. Hope that Americans haven't completely abandoned what is good and decent. Hope that after a temporary blindness due to fear and uncertainty the light of reason and the use of sound judgment will once more prevail. Hope that innocent human life will yet again be considered more valuable than a stock portfolio.

If the Archbishop's statement is not true, then we as a nation have traveled down a very short path to disappointment indeed, a path that all but assures our own demise.
