Hope and change are in the air!

I was driving home from work the other day and heard a news story on the radio about a Dallas couple being charged for beating their 6 month old baby to death. I thought of my own boys and the more I listened to the details of the baby's brutal death, tears started to form in my eyes which slid down my throat, giving me the urge to vomit.

I then got home and learned that our new president's 3rd (by my estimate) order of business in office was to overturn what was known as the "Mexico City Policy." Simply put, that means that our tax money has now been freed up to fund international groups in "developing" countries focused on population control by encouraging different forms of abortion. My friends, I've been in these countries and have heard testimonies of government officials pressuring poor villagers through intimidation and violence to abort their babies, no matter what stage of pregnancy. Don't you think that was an interesting move on his first couple days in office? Remember that he has vowed to sign the Freedom of Choice Act in his first days in office, overturning any state limitations on abortion, including late-term abortion.

That 6 month old baby boy in Dallas may have gotten off easy compared to what is ahead for those children who are about to enter the world.

So what were the first 2 orders of business? Ordering the closing of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility and delaying the execution of the confessed mastermind of 9/11, all to improve our international image. Is there a plan on where to put the remaining detainees? NONE. I propose that they put them all in the basement at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Do you want them in your city? I don't either.

And finally, enjoy this lovely letter from the new first lady:
