Put not your trust in princes

As Fr Mark Kirby notes, Juan Carlos de Borbón, the one-time Catholic King of Spain, incurred excommunication latae sententiae by signing a law that legalizes the murder of Spanish children up to 14 weeks of age. It's tough to find a good King nowadays.

Obama's "civil discourse"

From Diogenes:

I see nothing wrong with swatting flies.

Let's say that you have a different opinion. You think the lives of flies are sacred, and therefore you think that swatting flies is grossly immoral. You hold this view with the utmost sincerity. Unfortunately for you, I'm making the rules. And I say:

* You can't refer to fly-swatting as "murder." That would be "hate speech," inciting others to violence.
* You can't interfere when I swat flies.
* You must contribute to the purchase of fly swatters.

Now, with those ground-rules established, let's begin a civil discussion of the morality of swatting flies. There's no need for anger, recrimination, or name-calling. We have a sincere different of opinion. Let's-- oh, wait, excuse me a moment [thwack!]-- find some common ground.

Obama's ferocious pro-life position

After that long campaign I had no idea he was one of us!

We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.
