Andrew Breitbart: The lone cool conservative

Andrew Breitbart was something else. He was the kind of guy we aspire to be – fearless. I first came upon him like the nation did with his work on dismantling ACORN. I remember the videos of an over the top, stereotypical, straight from central casting, pimped out James O’Keefe complete with purple fedora, long coat and feather boa, and thought how could anyone pull this off? How could the ACORN dopes be so…well…dopey? If O’Keefe had walked onto a set anywhere else in that outfit he’d have been labeled a raging racists pig, but in an ACORN office apparently he blended in.


Then I saw Breitbart single handily confront a couple of dozen of Scrawny Harry Reid’s SEIU thugs. He waded right into the middle of them and started asking questions that the SEIU nit wits couldn’t answer or looked foolish trying. Then there was the great video of him hijacking the Tony the shlong Weiner presser.  The last great video I saw of him was after his CPAC speech where he took on OWS demonstrators single handily. He told them straight up and to their faces what bunch of filthy vermin he thought they were and then as they shouted at him, he single handily drown them out by shouting over and over again, “Behave yourselves!”

Hopefully others will study his model and step up.

Maybe it’ll be Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Since the P-BO’s DOJ is investigating Sheriff Joe, Sheriff Joe is investigating the P-BO. He has examined the P-BO’s birth certificate and declared it a forgery. Way to go Joe! When the most powerful man in the world goes after a county sheriff the normal reaction would be to cooperate and make the thing go away. Sheriff Joe just rolled up a piece of paper and stuck it in the powerful man’s eye.

Proof positive a baby is a baby at conception

When I first saw this, I thought it had to be a hoax. It is surreal.  Like Jame's O'Keefe going into an ACRON office dressed comically like a pimp.  How could anyone seriously argue that it’s ok to kill a baby after birth. Well that is exactly what the P-BO did when supported an infanticide bill while a state senator in IL.

Now, one of the authors of a peer reviewed article for Journal of Medical Ethics titled After-Birth Abortion: Why should the baby live? argued that parents should have the right to kill a new born baby for the same reason that they can get an abortion. Huh?

Now these are medical ethicists mind you. They argue that parents should be permitted to kill their baby “to prevent their child from having a difficult or painful life.” Now a cynic might make the case that all life is difficult and comes with a great deal of pain, so by this logic none of us should live.

So the argument goes, if the parents want to kill the baby in the womb, they should be able to kill the baby later for the same reasons. To my mind, by failing to make any distinction between the two, that makes the two the same. That should cause thinking people wise up. So as grotesque as the proposition of killing a live baby outside the womb is, the two ethicists’ proposal actually ratifies the decade’s old pro-life position, that a “fetus” and a baby are one in the same.
