The compassion of the wicked is cruel.

The AP reports:

Three years after drug agents searching a suspected “pill mill” at a West Philadelphia clinic instead found a medical “house of horrors,” an abortion doctor is going on trial on eight counts of murder.

Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 72, the clinic owner, is charged with killing a pregnant refugee and seven viable newborns. He also faces a separate federal trial on prescription drug charges.

Gosnell, who has pleaded not guilty, saw himself as a medical missionary in the blighted neighborhood where he worked and lived for 40 years.

May justice be done . . . but I doubt it will.

With an interesting perspective, our friends over at Creative Minority Report note:

I open up my Yahoo page and blaring at me is a picture of Cardinal O’Brien who retired immediately after allegations that he had sex.

Also going on in the world but not as trumpeted by the mainstream media are these two stories via LifeNews.com that jury selection begins for the Philly abortionist that snipped spinal cords and kept memento fetuses in jars and another botched abortion landed a woman in the hospital.

In what world, are those two stories less important than “Man had sex years ago!!!” Oh yeah, welcome to America of the 21st century.

Attacking Mother Teresa.

You gotta be pretty brave . . . or incurably stupid to attack Mother Teresa.  If it’s the latter, you’re a shoe in for the next Secretary of State.

Was Mother Teresa not so saintly after all? Researchers spark controversy by claiming her care of the sick was ‘dubious’ and handling of cash ‘suspicious’

A British daily reports that researchers writing in journal Studies in Religion/Sciences, Serge Larivie and Genevieve Chenard, say her hallowed reputation does not stand up to scrutiny.

Prof Larivie said: ‘While looking for documentation on the phenomenon of altruism for a seminar on ethics, one of us stumbled upon the life and work of one of Catholic Church’s most celebrated woman and now part of our collective imagination – Mother Teresa.

‘The description was so ecstatic that it piqued our curiosity and pushed us to research further.’

After studying nearly 300 documents on her life, they concluded that a number of issues surrounded the nun were not taken into account by the Vatican.

Then we get to the crux of their “research”:

“These included ‘her rather dubious way of caring for the sick, her questionable political contacts, her suspicious management of the enormous sums of money she received, and her overly dogmatic views regarding, in particular, abortion, contraception, and divorce.'”

Oh, Mother Teresa felt strongly in her views about . . . wait . . . what the Church teaches about, well, everything.  Who knew!  Boy these researchers are on the job.

Forget the vague terms that are excuses for unsupported allegations like “dubious” and “suspicions”, what the heck does it mean to be “overly dogmatic” regarding abortion!  If you believe that abortion is the murder of the most defenseless members of society, is it possible to be against it in an “overly dogmatic” way.

My take is that these “researchers” are not content to perpetuate the killing of unborn children, they want to urinate on the grave of a nun who spent her life caring for the poor, abandoned, neglected, and defenseless.

And either one of these “researchers” are a cinch for the Secretary of State gig.  And probably a marked improvement.

Secretary of Stupid Strikes Again.

Secretary of State John Kerry exercises his right as an American, to be stupid, that is.

As was previous reported here, the former Liberal Senator from Massachusetts told the Germans it was an American right, sandwiched somewhere between the separation of church and state and the right to an abortion.  The Germans, possessors of a legendary sense of humor, didn’t get it, but they undoubted took him at his word, as they all began to chant: Amerikaner sind Idioten der ersten Klasse; wir sind alle dumm. Es ist unser Recht.

Moving on to another region, and while his own country is on the brink of sequestration, the international dummkopf forked over $250 Million U.S. Dollars to Egypt to, as he said, support the country’s “future as a democracy.”

And if there’s one thing you can say about Arab Spring, it positively reeks of democracy.  Especially, if you don’t count the rapes, tortures, murders, riots, and general civil unrest.  But enough about Chicago.

For Kerry’s next gig, he can star in the remake of Hogan’s Heroes.  As Colonel Klink.

Goodbye Liberty. Hello Janet “Big Sis” Napolitano & Department of Homeland Security.

Sure you can detect guns and cellphones, but can you read a copy of the Constitution.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has customized its Predator drones, originally built for overseas military operations, to carry out at-home surveillance tasks that have civil libertarians worried: identifying civilians carrying guns and tracking their cell phones, government documents show.Homeland Security required that this Predator drone, built by General Atomics, be capable of detecting whether a standing human at night is "armed or not."

The documents provide more details about the surveillance capabilities of the department’s unmanned Predator B drones, which are primarily used to patrol the United States’ northern and southern borders but have been pressed into service on behalf of a growing number of law enforcement agencies including the FBI, the Secret Service, the Texas Rangers, and local police.

Reason enough to get an extension.

Wall Street Journal reports:

The Internal Revenue Service plans to require  five to seven days of unpaid leave for many of it employees through September, but it won’t begin the furloughs until the summer  in an effort to avoid disruptions in the April tax filing deadline.

“The IRS is projecting between five and seven furlough days beginning sometime this summer,” National Treasury Employees Union President Colleen Kelley said. “We have had informal discussions with the agency about this matter and we will engage in bargaining when the formal notice of furlough is provided.”

I wonder what would happen if a few million people took advantage of the automatic extensions on filing their returns this year.  It could be tragic: all those returns not coming in until after a bunch of employees are on an unpaid furlough.

Just wondering.

Figures lie. Liars Figure.

Maxine Waters has never run for anything based on her math skills.  Good thing too.

Me – if I was any good at math – never would have gone to law school.

Well all this “sequestration” talk is being used to scare the entitlement class.  It’s not hard to do once they’ve become inseparable from the government sow.

So here’s where Maxine comes in:

  • America’s present unemployment rate is 7.9%, or about 12.3 Million people.
  • There are 314 Million people in the United States.
  • There are approximately 155 Million civilian jobs in the United States.
  • According to Maximus, if sequestration occurs, 170 Million jobs will be lost.
  • This means every person in America will lose their job.
  • And about 15 Million people will lose jobs they don’t even have.

John Kerry exercises his right as an American.

The Right to be Stupid shall not be infringed.

He’s sure it’s in the Constitution somewhere . . . probably right next to that whole separation of church and state thingy.

And if there’s one thing that the Obama administration in general – and John Kerry throughout his political life, in particular – embodies is stupid.  This is doubly true if you treat “stupid” and “wicked” as synonyms, which they are if you consider the eternal implications.  Which we’d better.

They owe their collective political lives to stupidity.  Their own stupidity and the stupidity of those that elected (and keep electing) them to office.

john-kerryI exaggerate, you say.  Consider that the current Secretary of State calls himself a Catholic, yet unreservedly endorses child-killing.  Consider that he was the liberal Senator from the People’s Republic of Massachusetts – even before Ted Kennedy assumed room temperature.  Consider that he picked John Edwards as his vice-presidential (or was that president in charge of vice?) running mate.  Consider that he got a purple heart for his military service upon suffering an ingrown toenail in the heat of battle.  Consider that he’s not just the poster boy for botox; he’s the poster boy for really, really bad botox.  Yep.  Stupid.

John Kerry was in favor of stupid long before he was against it . . . oh, wait, he’s actually always been in favor of stupid.  About the only smart thing he’s done is marry Theresa Heinz Kerry.  Even that one’s a close call.  By my estimation he’s earned every penny of that money.

On his first official trip as Secretary of State, Kerry is in Germany extolling the virtues of stupid.  As if his audience needed proof, Kerry shared one of his childhood adventures during which he “snuck out of the American embassy in divided postwar Berlin at age 12 for a clandestine bicycle ride into the Soviet-controlled eastern part of the city.”  Not sure, but I think Bill Clinton used to sneak out of the White House using the same method.

Kerry continued, “I saw the people wearing darker clothing. There were fewer cars. I didn’t feel the energy or the movement.”  Hmmm.  Dark clothing. Fewer cars (wait, isn’t that the goal: getting rid of evil, polluting cars?).  No energy; no movement.  Mr. Secretary, take some Maalox and leave us alone.

Ever the thespian, Kerry segues from stupid to tolerance.  In fact, he tolerates everything but intolerance.

Kerry urged Germans to be tolerant, noting that in America, you have a right to be stupid.  “In America, you have a right to be stupid, if you want to be,” he said.  “And you have a right to be disconnected to somebody else if you want to be. And we tolerate that – we somehow make it through that.”

Tolerance is “something worth fighting for,” he explained. “We live and breathe the idea of religious freedom and religious tolerance, whatever the religion – and political freedom and political tolerance, whatever the point of view,”  he said.

This is the administration that is so tolerant – and so in love with killing unborn children – that every one of its citizens now has to decide between becoming a “criminal” and subsidizing objectively evil behavior.  This is the same administration that is so damned tolerant that dozens of organizations, companies, states, and individuals have filed suit in an attempt (and, I fear, a futile one) to get out from under this jackboot of “tolerance.”

This is the tolerance of Ceasar.  Just bend your knee and say “Ceasar is Lord” and you are free to go.  Don’t want to do that?  Is that my stomach growling, or is it one of those lions in the arena?  Don’t want Obamacare?  How do you feel about being impoverished by the government and then housed for a decade or so in federal prison? Just bend (over) and you are free to go.

Never mind that pesky eternity in torment thing.  We all know how intolerant the God of the Universe is about having other gods before Him and all.

So when this international moron is talking tolerance and religious liberty, he is banking on the stupidity of the American public, which is a given.

“But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”
