"In giving us His son, His only Word, He spoke everything to us at once in this sole Word - and He has no more to say ... because what He spoke before to the prophets in parts, He has now spoken all at once by giving us the All Who is His Son."
+St. John of the Cross
"More than this we need not add; let the last word be, He is all in all!"

Absurdities

During his “yes we can” rally last night, President Obama reiterated that the United States "does not torture." America does not torture? I wonder how the president defines the methods of abortion then; when during the first 3 months of life, the Vacuum Suction tears the baby into small pieces, or D&C, a similar method, only with the added use of a hook shaped knife that cuts the baby into pieces? How about D&E, a method which is used up to 3 ½ months gestation, where instead of the loop-shaped knife, a pair of forceps is used to grasp the baby and the teeth of the forceps twist and tear the bones of the unborn child repeatedly until it is totally dismembered and where the spine must be snapped and the skull crushed in order to remove them from the sanctuary of the womb.
Perhaps the president thinks that a Saline Injection, which is used after four months of life, where a strong salt solution is inserted into the baby's sac, that the baby swallows and by which, it is burned and poisoned, is not torturous; a method which may take over an hour to kill the baby and if they should survive, may be left to die.
I suppose that he doesn’t consider a Partial-Birth Abortion, which is used from the 4th month through the end of the 9th month of life, where the abortionist uses forceps to pull the baby's legs through the birth canal, delivering the baby except for the head, then, using scissors, punctures the base of the back of the head and inserting a suction device, suctions out the baby's brain so the skull will collapse for easy removal, to be torture.
Therefore, in part, I respectfully revert the president’s own words back to him; “Our Founding Fathers, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man … America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity … for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you … with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.” (Italics are mine)
In my humble opinion, the president, like so many who confuse/contradict the truth, must be consulting a ‘revised’ and ‘privileged’ dictionary.
If you’re still reading my comment, consider this absurdity; since FOCA will compel taxpayer funding of abortions, we could use the stimulus money to pay for the tax increases that will be used to fund it! It’s typical government logic; exchanging debt for debt, tax cuts to pay for tax increases!
