...for all your liberal friends this year -- but of course, it has to be all natural fibers-- and wait, is wool allowed, or is that considered animal slave labor? I always forget all the rules on that...
Anyway, it will be the perfect gift for your favorite lefty who is sensing a chill in the air these days. Oh, the frosty feeling from the selection of Rick Warren for the inaugural invocation, and the bone chilling from the nearly eleventh-hour conscience protection regulations put out by Health and Human Services.
As for Warren, isn't it funny how the left demands inclusion, and trumpeted BO's plans to work with everyone -- until it's someone they disagree with? Now it's a slap on the face to include someone who deviates on the definition of marriage. Forget that it's highly unlikely to come up in the invocation...
But the religious right is almost as wary, thinking Warren shouldn't give the invocation for a president who is so staunchly pro-abortion to the point of infanticide. It will seem as if he's giving BO a pass, and somehow endorsing his extreme views as acceptable.
I'm reserving judgement. I'll wait to hear what Pastor Warren says on January 20. Will he be reined in, and therefore appear as if he's giving a stamp of approval? I sure hope not.
What I expect to hear is holding BO's feet to the fire, that he must keep his promise to reduce the tragedy of abortion in our nation. And I don't mean with any namby-pamby vagueness like "we must come together to find common ground."
I want to hear a bit of fire and brimstone along the lines of "We must bring back personal responsibility and cultivate a respect for life, finding true solutions that will help all women and children in crisis so that they will not turn to the desperate act of abortion."
Time will tell if Pastor Warren will set the bar for all those pro-lifers who put their faith in The One.
The pro-abortion crowd is already setting the stage for extreme measures. In addition to all the repeals on restrictions and freeing of funds for abortion that are already being demanded, now there are promises to immediately reverse the conscience protection regulations put out by HHS this week.
Forget that Catholic hospitals -- which often provide much-needed low-cost services in low-income neighborhoods -- would rather close their doors than be forced to offer services they object to. The left feels it is important to mandate that people are not allowed to follow their consciences.
So I guess that means that if a "treatment" to "cure" homosexuality were to be found, that all liberal-minded health care workers would be compelled to provide that service? Methinks not.
Time for all lefties to realize that the path to tolerance and inclusion is not a one-way street.
