Fuel-efficiency & Your Family

The Obama administration is forcing the automakers to agree to some drastic changes to the efficiency of the cars they produce. There are several side effects of which you should be aware.

1. The cars of the future will be less safe (relatively speaking). Fuel-efficiency means less weight; less weight means less protection. Less protection means more death. Don't believe me? Look up the stats on any Hybrid.

2. The cars of the future will cost more. Obama's own projections say it will cost $600 more per vehicle. The government never projects costs accurately. If you triple that figure, you might be approaching an accurate number. Let's say $2,000 more per vehicle.

3. You won't be able to purchase certain types of vehicles anymore. So, you are a Christian family who takes your faith seriously? You really want 8 kids . . . oh, you believe Genesis applies to you. Wow. Well, SUVs are not available anymore. I guess you can purchase a hybrid 15-passenger van at the corporate rate. . . maybe. Or your family can buy three hybrid cars and link them together with the groovy new Obama band - keeps you all together for the whole trip. (No, there is not really an Obama band).

4. The news will keep reporting on how fast the world is warming in spite of some compelling evidence to the contrary. (Oh, you didn't know that polar ice cap was melting because of volcanic activity under the ice and ocean water? And, you didn't know the cap was freezing at a faster rate on the other side?) Well, that doesn't support the communist agenda of herding everyone into cities and making them walk or take government-run buses wherever they go.

5. Your current SUV or 15-passenger van is going to be valuable. People with families are going to envy you. You'll have a car with power, comfort, and the ability to haul your family. Pamper that SUV . . . you'll never get one like it again. Welcome to the "change" for which America voted.

"Fair-minded debate"

Apparently Obama wants a "fair-minded debate" on abortion (see various news articles on his speech today at Notre Dame).

Bear in mind that everyone who thinks abortion is murder is who he's really talking about. "Go ahead and think it is murder; just don't think of me as a cold-blooded killer." That's what he's asking. Continue to believe what you do about life, but don't let that be communicated in your words, passions, or emotions . . . . Those 40+ million aborted babies that your government has killed with your tax money - don't sweat it.

This is exactly what Satan wants. He wants us to shut up and back down when we have every reason to scream at the top of our lungs, "Stop killing babies - it is murder!"

If Obama wants a "fair-minded debate," let's stick to the facts.

An embryo has its own human DNA. It is marked off as a separate being, separate from mother and father, at the very beginning of its existence. It is either male or female from the beginning. The difference between you and a fetus is time, nutrition, and love. The difference between you and and an aborted fetus is that you were not killed. Science does not undermine faith when it comes to life - it confirms it!

Killing of an innocent is still murder in America. Does Mr. Obama want a "fair-minded debate" about how we regard murderers? Is that what he's proposing? No. He wants deflection of the moral imperatives that he is ignoring to be a President of Death. He has no ethical standard for his position other than the position that there can be no absolute truth.

If he's right . . . can anything be wrong? Why?

This is America folks - the nation where the only sin around is the sin of being a Christian who actually takes his faith seriously.

Interesting Political Facts

"Polls show that the American public is deeply conflicted over abortion and that support has declined steadily over the years. In 1995, roughly 60 percent of Americans believed abortion should be legal in all or most cases. Last month, in a survey by the Pew Research Center, that number stood at 46 percent. A Gallup survey that examined seven decisions early in Mr. Obama’s presidency found that the least popular was the one to overturn the ban on sending tax dollars to organizations that provide abortions overseas." NYT, 5.14.09,On Abortion, Obama Is Drawn Into Debate He Had Hoped to Avoid

Obama wants to avoid the debate not because he's not involved but because he's the most pro-abortion president in our history. If there's no debate he doesn't have to defend his indefensible actions. We've got to get on this people. We cannot let Obama dupe us.
