Obama Apologists: Useful Idiots

Left-wing nuts rejoice while Tony Perkins, Family Research Council Action, takes note of the extremists that Obama is bringing on board. Birds of a feather...

The More Things Change

As things progress it is becoming clear the so-called "middle ground" on abortion that we were told Barack Obama was pursuing in his campaign might elude him now that he is President-elect. Obama continues to fill key positions with politicians and activists who have radical pro-abortion records. The latest is Ellen Moran, the executive director of EMILY's List, a pro-abortion political action committee, who will be the face and voice of the new administration as the President's spokesperson.

As the Washington Post put it, "A candidate must meet three qualifications to be considered for an EMILY's List endorsement: back abortion rights, including the right to late-term (or 'partial-birth') abortions; be a Democrat; and, in primary elections, be a woman. Ms. Moran's fealty to abortion is so strong that after the Supreme Court upheld the ban on partial-birth abortion (a "medical procedure" where scissors and a suction tube are used to kill a partially delivered infant) she saw it as a call to arms to raise more funds for her group to work towards overturning the decision and cut off funding for politicians who voted to ban the gruesome practice.

It comes as no surprise to those who followed President-elect Obama's record that he is forming such a strongly pro-abortion team, but what do the Obama apologists like Doug Kmiec and Jim Wallis have to say now that the emperor they helped elect is shown to have no clothes?
