Nancy Pelosi is a liar

Nancy Pelosi told a whopper on meet the Press this past Sunday. When asked what advice she would give Barack Obama on when life begins she said this:

MR. BROKAW: Senator Obama saying the question of when life begins is above his pay grade, whether you’re looking at it scientifically or theologically. If he were to come to you and say, “Help me out here, Madame Speaker. When does life begin?” what would you tell him?

REP. PELOSI: I would say that as an ardent, practicing Catholic, this is an issue that I have studied for a long time. And what I know is, over the centuries, the doctors of the church have not been able to make that definition. And Senator–St. Augustine said at three months. We don’t know. The point is, is that it shouldn’t have an impact on the woman’s right to choose. Roe v. Wade talks about very clear definitions of when the child–first trimester, certain considerations; second trimester; not so third trimester. There’s very clear distinctions. This isn’t about abortion on demand, it’s about a careful, careful consideration of all factors and–to–that a woman has to make with her doctor and her god. And so I don’t think anybody can tell you when life begins, human life begins. As I say, the Catholic Church for centuries has been discussing this, and there are those who’ve decided…

MR. BROKAW: The Catholic Church at the moment feels very strongly that it…

REP. PELOSI: I understand that.

MR. BROKAW: …begins at the point of conception.

REP. PELOSI: I understand. And this is like maybe 50 years or something like that. So again, over the history of the church, this is an issue of controversy. But it is, it is also true that God has given us, each of us, a free will and a responsibility to answer for our actions. And we want abortions to be safe, rare, and reduce the number of abortions. That’s why we have this fight in Congress over contraception. My Republican colleagues do not support contraception. If you want to reduce the number of abortions, and we all do, we must–it would behoove you to support family planning and, and contraception, you would think. But that is not the case. So we have to take–you know, we have to handle this as respectfully–this is sacred ground. We have to handle it very respectfully and not politicize it, as it has been–and I’m not saying Rick Warren did, because I don’t think he did, but others will try to.”

WHAT? Since when has the Catholic church ever wavered on their belief of when life begins. So in reading this transcript, you can only come to two conclusions. One, she is an ardent catholic and the smartest woman in the world who has no idea church's stance on this issue, or, she's lying. I'm going with lying. This once again points up how utterly important abortion is to the dominant leftist majority of the Democratic party. Unless you are on the leftists side of this issue forget being taken seriously by fellow Democrats. There is no dissent, no deviation from the script and Pelosi's new low, lying about your own religion to fit your agenda. In a word, disgusting.

So I guess you'll be going back to France then?

These men in the picture to the left compose the fastest relay team in the world. I would like to congratulate, from left to right, Garrett Weber-Gale, Jason Lezak, Michael Phelps and Cullen Jones for winning the gold medal in spectacular fashion in the men's 4x100 freestyle relay. What could make that victory sweeter? They beat the french. Which, under normal circumstances would not mean so much, I mean who hasn't beaten the french? It was the comment made by one of the members of the French relay team that turned an important race into an epic battle. French relay swimmer Alain Bernard said "we will crush the Americans, that's why we are here." Well, bon voyage Alain!

Liberal fascism

The picture to the left is that of Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. Shaking her finger at you and telling you how it's going to be and you just better shut up and listen and don't you dare to have a point of view that differs from hers or she will shut you down. For example, when questioned as to why she has blocked attempts by republicans to lift a moratorium on offshore energy exploration, her reply was: “I’m trying to save the planet; I’m trying to save the planet, I will not have this debate trivialized by their excuse for their failed policy.” Wasn't she the one who said if we elected democrats in 2006 to the house and senate they had a "plan" to reduce fuel prices? Who has the failed policy? The most recent example of the "leadership" of the house that Speaker Pelosi provides came just last week. She, and the Democrats, apparently trying to stifle debate in the most effective way possible, voted to adjourn, at 11:20 in the morning mind you, for a 5 week break over the objections of several republicans. The adjournment was specifically done so that Dictator Pelosi could avoid scheduling a vote on offshore drilling. This quote from Michigan GOP Representative Thaddeus McCotter says it all: "This is the people's House, this is not Pelosi's politiburo." Even though the session was now over, the republicans continued to speak. The democrats, in their infinite wisdom, shut off the lights and the microphones. The resourceful republicans figured out how to turn the power back on and continued their one sided debate. Only to be shut down again! The republicans continued without the aid of the microphones until 5:00 p.m.

fas·cism:

A governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.

If you take away the aggressive nationalism, you have Speaker Pelosi's brand of liberalism in a nutshell. You'll notice I didn't take out the "often racism" part of the definition. Do I then mean that Pelosi is a racist? Nope, she thinks EVERYONE is inferior, but not by race, by political philosophy. A superiority complex of sorts. She demonstrates this by shutting down the free and open debate by elected representatives of the people of the United States of America, specifically republicans. Because she knows all, she is omnipotent, for god's sake she is trying to save the planet!

And if you don't toe the line, you'll get the finger!
