True North

What do you think of this video featuring Barack Hussein Obama?

How do you think the content of this video might have been different during other historical periods? Here's what the video could have dealt with:

Video Translation #1 (Nazi Germany): I think that the decision to execute Jews is a decision that has to be made by people and that the government should make sure they have the right to do this. If they talk with their family members, friends, and clergy about whether or not it's OK to kill a Jew I trust that these individuals will make the best decision for themselves.

Video Translation #2 (Pre-Civil Rights America): I think the decision by individuals and communities to hang African Americans is up to them and the government should not get involved in saying what's right or wrong. I trust members of the Klu Klux Klan to make these kind of decisions on their own and I trust that they'll make the right decisions for themselves.

You see, it's easy to suggest that government shouldn't legislate individual moral choices, but the problem with that logic is it leads us down the road toward anarchy. Why have any laws at all? We wouldn't want the government interfering with our right to do whatever we want, right? Wrong.

The simple truth is that we don't have the right to violate the rights of another individual. One of the rights guaranteed in our constitution is the right to life. So the argument that the government is interfering with a woman's right to choose is superseded by the individual protection of life for the unborn child. It's really quite simple but a lot of people don't seem to have the intellect to grasp the concept or don't want to accept it because they get some sort of sick pleasure in being able to choose if innocent people live or die. I don't know about you, but I don't want a president who suffers from either of those problems.

Just something to keep in mind and consider mentioning to your pro-life Catholic friends in Minnesota who have suddenly decided to support Obama because of his amazing charisma!
