Hope and Change!

Don't you just love the politics of hope? It is just so hopeful!  Combine that with change and it is perfect.  Let us hope to change and change to hope!

So let us begin with just some of the examples of hope and change that Sen. Obama promises.

In the July 17 speech, Obama attacked the Supreme Court decision that upheld the federal partial-birth abortion ban and the nomination of Supreme Court justices who favor overturning Roe v. Wade. In the speech the senator said, "There will always be people, many of goodwill, who do not share my view on the issue of choice. On this fundamental issue, I will not yield and Planned Parenthood will not yield."

Yes Partial Birth Abortion is so hopeful and a Democrat supporting it is such a change!

Can we vacuum out the brains of a child just prior to being born? Yes we can!

The senator said he had a long tradition of support for legalized abortion, citing his efforts in the Illinois State Senate and his classes as a law professor. “I have worked on these issues for decades now,” he said. “I put Roe at the center of my lesson plan on reproductive freedom when I taught Constitutional Law. Not simply as a case about privacy but as part of the broader struggle for women’s equality.”

Yes abortion in all of its glory is just so hopeful   Keeping abortion on demand as the law of the land is all about change.

And of course those evil pro-lifers who want  to destroy reproductive freedom and to remove that Constitutional right to abortion are not about hope or change at all.  Those pregnancy centers which offer help to women who find themselves in a difficult circumstance are not about hope at all.  Providing help and support to the mother and actually helping a child to be born is just not hopeful.  Supporting Planned Parenthood and others kill the child and not give a damn what happens to the mother after pays her fee and she leaves the abortion clinic is all about hope. 

But wait there is more hope!

RUSSERT: Senator Obama, any statements or vote you'd like to takeback?

OBAMA: Well, you know, when I first arrived in the Senate that first year, we had a situation surrounding Terri Schiavo. And I remember how we adjourned with a unanimous agreement that eventually allowed Congress to interject itself into that decision making process of the families. It wasn't something I was comfortable with, but it was not something that I stood on the floor and stopped. And I think that was a mistake, and I think the American people understood that that was a mistake. And as a constitutional law professor, I knew better. And so that's an example I think of where inaction...

It just makes me feel warm and fuzzy to think of all of Sen. Obama's hopefulness towards Terri Schiavo.  Can't you feel the love!  Jesus wept at Lazarus' tomb and Obama regrets not doing more to help someone die sooner.

Just too bad that Sen. Obama could not have been involved and offered the same type of hope for now 14 year old Haleigh Poutre who was on the verge of being dehydrated to death by court order and is now talking.  Let us not have such travesties of patients defying their diagnosis in the future and let us share some Terri Schiavo style Obama hope for people with cognitive difficulties. 

Abortion, euthanasia, cloning and killing, and using embryonic human beings for research are all about hope!

Catholic Answers Action lists five non-negotiables as abortion, euthanasia, ESCR, human cloning, and homosexual marriage. Wow he gets a perfect five of five and certainly he will be non-negotiable on these issues.  And what about his hopeful support of infanticide? A natural for the Catholic vote.

For my part I hope that he repents and changes his culture of death positions.
