We are not surprised that the most pro-abortion President in US history, Barack Obama, and his HHS Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, who had a notorious pro-abortion record when governor of Kansas, would do everything in their power to force Indiana taxpayers to continue to fund abortions. Their partnership with the largest abortion provider in Indiana and the US is well documented. HEA 1210 withstood the first round in court when US District Court Judge Tanya Pratt did not grant a restraining order until the injunction issue was settled, and we anticipate more court victories to come. The injunction hearing is scheduled for Monday, June 6, so it is obvious the Obama administration wanted to come to the aid of their pro-abortion allies in Indiana before then.

Apart from the egregious support of tax payer funded abortions by the Obama administration, is the whole issue of states rights. If citizens support abortion or not, all should be concerned about the heavy hand of the Federal government coming down on the will of duly elected legislators and the will of Hoosiers who have elected them. This is Federal bullying at its worst. Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller is committed to defend Indiana in this case.

Governor Mitch Daniels commented:  “I supported this bill from the outset, and the recent addition of language guarding against the spending of tax dollars to support abortions creates no reason to alter my position,” Daniels said recently.  “I commissioned a careful review of access to services across the state and can confirm that all non-abortion services, whether family planning or basic women’s health, will remain readily available in every one of our 92 counties.”

Governor Daniels is Out of Presidential Race, but He’s In with AFA of Indiana

As you know Governor Mitch Daniels disappointed many Hoosier voters when He announced Sunday that he would not seek the Republican nomination in 2012. However, he has won the approval of AFA of Indiana. First, Governor Daniels’ reason for not running because of his care and concern for his family having to go through the media wringer is admirable and one we applaud. What husband and father in their right mind would want their family to go through one-tenth of the mistreatment that former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin went through for merely being a conservative on the 2008 presidential ticket? Agree or disagree with him, no one can say that Governor Daniels does not have his priorities in order. (With a former California Governor in the headlines for not having his marriage and family as his priority, Governor Daniels’ consistent dedication to his wife and daughters seems all the more compelling and admirable.)Secondly, the response to our web site poll question last week revealed that there are a large number of AFA of Indiana supporters who wanted Mitch Daniels to run for president. Governor Daniels won our online web page poll. With over 640 total votes, Governor Daniels was the winner among nine choices with 30% of those vote. The other top choices were Ron Paul, Herman Cain and Michele Bachman but Governor Daniels still led the rest of the pack by 11 points or more.

It is no secret that I have had some significant policy differences with the Governor on certain social issues. I could rehash those, but I’d rather end this with a slightly different praise for our Governor.  Many of you have heard various speculations, news reports or talk radio recounts of what a Daniels campaign might have looked like given his record, some questionable statements to various groups, or other parts of his public or private life. One thing that deserves comment is the slimy innuendo that the Governor’s divorce would have given people, particularly social conservatives, reason to oppose his Presidential candidacy.

The history of Mitch and Cheri Daniels marriage is a reason to admire this family, not mock or smear them.  In a day in which 6 out of 10 new marriages end in divorce and far too many couples call it quits before they should, the divorce and remarriage of Mitch and Cheri is remarkable. I was talking with Maggie Gallagher about this recently and she observed that this was the single most impressive item in the entire Mitch Daniels resume. Gallagher is the author of The Abolition of Marriage and The Case for Marriage, two of the best books on marriage and divorce ever written. The second book,The Case for Marriage, includes a groundbreaking study from the University of Chicago following nearly 2,000 struggling married couples some of whom divorced and others who stuck it out. Five years later they found that for the most part, those who hung in there and worked through their problems were actually happier five years later than most of those who had taken the easy, no-fault divorce exit.

Mitch and Cheri Daniels experienced a divorce and then saw the error of their ways and the dangers their divorce posed to their children, and did something difficult and remarkable. They remarried each other. By all accounts, today they have a solid, committed, happy and close marriage. They and their children have benefited from this recommitment. Outside of one’s faith, nothing matters more than family. Again, we applaud the Governor for placing his family first; not once, but twice.

What if Barack Obama Had Been Aborted?

Barack Hussein Obama is the most pro-abortion president in United States history. It seems as though at every chance possible, his administration goes above and beyond to fund, promote and defend abortion. In fact, there is a New York Times story out this week that indicates that the Obama administration may go to battle with Indiana over our new law to prevent your tax dollars from going to Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers.

What if Obama had been aborted? This is not a hypothetical question wishing this President had never been born. It is a serious inquiry (with great irony,) raised by Hoosier radio talk show host Peter Heck in a provocative article appearing on AFA’s news wire. It seems, as Peter points out, that President Obama’s father was also a rabid abortion advocate.

According to newly released documents he was also successful with at least one of the young women he impregnated. However, he did not successfully convince Barack’s mother to terminate their child, who grew up to be a US Senator and then the President of the United States.  This irony is not lost on Heck whose excellent article on this new can be read here:

“A Role Model for Girls” Really, Yours too, Michelle?

On Sunday night millions of American youth tuned in to watch the Billboard Music Awards. The highlight of the show, according to reviewers, was a video tribute to the singer Beyonce Knowles. You may not know Beyonce from Barbara Streisand, but in one sense you should if you have children or grandchildren. She is an attractive individual who has appeared in several movies, won Grammy awards for her music and sold millions of records. She co-stared in the enjoyable movie The Pink Panther with Steve Martin. My point here is that Beyonce is considered a mainstream musical artist. She is not one like Madona or Lady Gaga who seem to exist to push the envelope and shock people.

We’ve come a long way in a certain direction since my high school days when the top pop artist like Hall & Oats had a top hit with the benign, “Your Kiss is on My List” and President Reagan’s administration had concerns about the Beach Boys playing at the White House.

Before Beyonce sang her new song, “Girls Who Run the World” she was welcomed by a video introduction from her father, artists like Stevie Wonder, and Streisand as well as First Lady Michelle Obama. The First Lady praised Beyonce and described her as, “a powerful role model for girls and young women around the world.” Oh Really?

When the video ended with great applause, Beyonce performed her new song. You can see the music video, which was similar to her Billboard performance here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBmMU_iwe6U

Remember again, that this is not a song from some gangster rapper.  It is from a mainstream centrist artist. This is why, after some contemplation, I included a link to the music video for parents, grandparents and church youth leaders to observe.

Here are some of the lyrics of her “song,” Girls Who Run the World.

[I guess these inane and obnoxious repetitions are what pass for a song today.  Excuse the lyrics lousy grammar, this was a cut and paste directly from her web site]

Girls, we run this motha (yeah!) GIRLS!??
Who run the world? Girls! Who run this motha?
Girls! x4?Who run the world? Girls! x4??

[This “chorus was repeated with the slang for a two word obscenity starting with the word mother about two dozen times throughout the “song.”]

[Verse 1] Some of them men think they freak this like we do. ?But no they don’t.?Make your cheques come at they neck.
Disrespect us no they won’t.??Boy don’t even try to take us.
Boy this beat is crazy.?
This is how they made me?Houston, Texas baby?
This goes out to all my girls.?That’s in the club rocking the latest.
Who will buy it for themselves and get more money later???

I think I need a barber. ?None of these hoes can fade me.

[Remember when Don Imus was kicked off the radio for using the word “Ho” which is slang for whore?  And the Rev. Al Sharpton went bonkers over it?”]

I’m so good with this. ?I remind you I’m so hood with this.??
Boy I’m just playing, come here baby.?
Hope you still like me,
If you hate me. ?My persuasion can build a nation?
Endless power, our love we can devour. You’ll do anything for me??

[Chorus] ??Who run the world? Girls! x4?Who run this motha? Girls! x4?Who run the world? Girls! x4

[Verse 2]?? It’s hot up in here. ?
DJ don’t be scared to run this, run this back.
I’m repping for the girls who taking over the world.
Have me raise a glass for the college grads.??
Anyone rolling I’ll let you know what time it is.
You can’t hold me?I broke my 9 to 5 and copped my cheque

This goes out to all the women getting it in. ?Get on your grind.
To the other men that respect what I do.?
Please accept my shine. Boy you know you love it.

[Chorus]

____________

Don’t ask me to interpret what the heck all that means. I don’t know the meaning all the street slang, but it is definitely there.  Sadly, most of our youth know exactly what she’s talking about.

My question is this: ” Mrs. Obama is this really what you endorse for America’s women as a good role model? Would you really let your girls watch, sing or act out Beyonce’s videos? What messages to America’s youth are being sent by this singer, this song, and video that are so worthy to be embraced nationally from the White House?  Does this endorsement of a role model apply for your daughters too, or just the pollution of the rest of the youth in America?”

Indiana Legislative Leaders Speak Up About Controversial Supreme Court Decision

There has been a lot of discussion about a recent Indiana Supreme Court decision affecting the Castle Doctrine in regard to police entering one’s home. Yesterday, the Republican Caucus leaders (Senate President Pro Tem David Long and Speaker of the House Brian Bosma) issued the following statement on this matter:

“After reviewing the decision of the Indiana Supreme Court in Barnes v. State of Indiana, we respectfully request that the Court grant a rehearing for the purpose of clarifying its decision. We have heard overwhelmingly from our Hoosier constituents, and legal scholars, that the language used to address the specific facts of this case may have unintentionally erased hundreds of years of common law precedent on the topic of reasonable resistance to unlawful entry. A more narrowly-tailored opinion could preserve the long-established private property rights of our citizens while continuing to protect the safety of our law enforcement officers and citizens where unique circumstances exist, such as a domestic disturbance. Many individual members of the General Assembly have begun work on potential legislation to restore these private property rights; if the Court did not intend to rescind this right, except in very limited circumstances where an emergency exists, a clarification from the Court would be extremely helpful.”

That’s right. Countries like Saudi Arabia, where woman basically have no rights. And Cuba, where if you speak your mind in opposition to the government you’re likely to find yourself dragged out of your home in the middle of the night never to be seen again.

Mexico is complaining that racial profiling has become an all too common practice in some U.S. states. Huh? Why don’t you fix your country before bitching about us not wanting to pay for the illegal’s healthcare and education, among other things. Fix it, and maybe they won’t come over here and suck the life out of our social system.

According to Fox News, (worth a click) from one of the submitted position papers:

It cites the Feds for targeting such far-left organizations as the Puerto Rican Independence Front, the Black Panther Party, the Weather Underground, the American Indian Movement, the Black Liberation Army, as well as “peace activists and everyone in between,” and says that “many of today’s political prisoners” in the U.S. were jailed indefinitely as a result. That repression has increased, the paper argues since 9/11.

Screw ‘em. I think it’s time we bailed on the U.N.

From Fox News

“It is what it is,” Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern told Fox News regarding his Monday appearance at an endorsement event by the United Steelworkers for several Ohio Democrats, including Gov. Ted Strickland.

“Vice President Biden and I have a way with words,” Redfern said, conjuring up the vice president’s description this spring of the signing of the health care law as a “big f—ing deal.”

He also suggested the audience could handle it.

“Look, I was speaking to 40 grizzled steelworkers,” Redfern said.

Here’s the clip.
