The Pope’s Visit with week is such a positive influence on our entire society. We are blessed to have him here and to listen to him reinforce the values of America: freedom, truth, and a culture of life. We have been so accustomed over the last few years by the political process in this country to tear each other down but the Pope’s message has been uplifting and gives us a chance to take stock of the blessings this wonderful nation provides to us all.
Of course the freedom we enjoy also gives some the freedom to make idiots of themselves as we have seen exhibited by the likes of Bill Maher and Joy Behar. The Pope will be the first to forgive them for their ugly comments. Just one more good example for all of us.
The far left has shown us once again that they are good at dishing it out but they are far from ready to take it. The Hillary/Obama debate was a good example of this. The hue and cry from the far left press and blogosphere when they thought that golden boy Obama was questioned harder than necessary was deafening. It is as plain as the nose on your face that the real problem the far left has is not that these were trivial questions, but rather that the doggone truth about who Obama really is may just leak out. And this is a fate worse than death for the far left.
Obama’s answer to Stephanopoulos question about the William Ayers connection was revealing in a few ways. He said that “He’s (Ayers) is not someone that he exchanges ideas with on a regular basis.” What does that mean? Does he exchange ideas on an irregular basis? How irregular? What are these ideas that are exchanged on an irregular basis with this unapologetic terrorist? When someone in Obama’s position learns that a known terrorist sits on a board with you, one should either ask him to resign or failing that, resign yourself and certainly you don’t go to his house for meetings.
The comparison of terrorist William Ayers and Tom Coeburn was nothing less than scurrilous and he ought to be ashamed of himself for equating the two. Obama’s association with questionable characters, past and present, such as Rev. Wright, Ayers, Farrakhan, Tony Rezko speak to the character and judgment of Obama and all of these associations need to be explored.
Jimmy Carter’s disgusting performance with week by meeting the head of Hamas, laying a wreath at the tomb of the terrorist, Yasser Arafat, and his plodding forward on this mission of shame after his own country and Israel asked, and perhaps begged, him not to meet with Hamas is as shameful as I have ever seen of any U.S. dignitary, not to mention former President, in my lifetime. His irrelevance has no bounds.
