When writing about Barack Obama’s religious orientation recently, I pointed out that while I do believe he favors Muslim over Western culture, bowing before another — even God — is above his humility grade. I further mentioned that in keeping with this self-centeredness, Obama is (like all leftists) someone who denies moral reality.

You’ve probably heard that joke concerning what’s actually happening when Bill Clinton’s lips are moving, but sometimes the truth does manage to negotiate his tongue. And his recent trip to Minnesota to campaign for Democrat gubernatorial candidate Mark Dayton might just be one of these instances — well, sort of.

In a piece I just penned about
assaults on Austrian pro-lifers, I mentioned the very bizarre Museum of
Abortion and Contraception in Vienna. It is a macabre place
“cataloguing a history of human effort through the ages devoted to
suppressing or destroying the next generation of human life in the
womb,” as the pro-life LifeSiteNews.com put it.
But while actually creating a museum-in-name dedicated to the culture
of death is unusual, it seems that the desire to do so may not be. This
is because, in a shocking discovery made during investigations of
health and safety code violations, two different U.S. abortion mills in
two different states were found to have created their own “museums” of
death — featuring dead babies and their body parts.

The right to peaceful protest is one virtually all Westerners hold
dear, but, apparently, not when it’s applied to pro-lifers. Apparently,
that is, if the systematic abuse of some Austrian pro-life activists is
any indication.
The situation involves a notorious Vienna abortionist named Dr.
Christian Fiala, who has hired thugs for the purposes of harassing,
assaulting, and sexually abusing peaceful pro-life protesters. And
despite the fact that these crimes have been caught on videotape — and
that the culprits have been committing them for years — authorities have
thus far turned a blind eye. LifeSiteNews.com’s Kathleen Gilbert
reports on the matter, writing:

One of the quickest ways to provoke resentment in a sibling
relationship is for the parents to continually show favoritism to one of
the children. And here is a Psychology 101 question: Whom will the
disadvantaged child often despise more: A, the parents; or B, the
apple-of-the-eye sibling? Ever since an envious Cain murdered Abel,
we’ve known the answer.
Given this aspect of man’s nature, what do you think will be the result
of the liberal tendency to consistently show favoritism to Muslim
groups and causes?
As an example of this tendency, consider Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s response to the Ground Zero mosque controversy.

Back when my family vacationed in Miami Beach, it wasn’t uncommon for
the hotels abutting the shoreline to have high diving boards. I mean
sometimes really high — maybe even the kind you see on Olympics
telecasts. It was a scary jump for me as a child, but I think I mustered
the courage once or twice. But I couldn’t as an adolescent. You see,
the boards were closed down by then (circa 1980), an obvious victim of
our society’s increasing litigiousness. Insurance regulations, you know.
And it’s far worse today, as we’re being lawyered and insured into an antiseptic, killjoy state. As an example, it’s just been announced
that elementary schools in Cabell County, West Virginia, are removing
all swing sets for fear of litigation. A school official cited a recent
lawsuit in which the district had to pay out $20,000 after a boy broke
his arm jumping off a swing à la Superman.

People are emotional beings, often governed more by feelings than reason. And this is never truer than with leftist people.
If you want to understand liberals, know that most of their ideology is simply a pseudo-intellectual justification for what feels right to them. As for these feelings, the one stereotypically associated with the left is compassion, which supposedly manifests itself in mercy, charity, forgiveness and temperance. In reality, though, a feeling that far better characterizes the left is envy.

Twenty-year-old Naser Abdo joined the U.S. Army more than a year ago. Now that it’s time to be sent to Afghanistan, however, he’s having second thoughts. He is refusing deployment, claiming conscientious-objector status.
