Perspectives On Torture

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that when the gaping holes in the liberal narrative on a particular issue start to become more apparent a new crisis suddenly gets all the headlines?

One Miguel Guanipa pens an outstanding essay at the American Thinker on the lefts blatant self contradiction when it comes to morality.  It esentially a reprise of my argument from last week illustrating the glaring inconsistency of a what exactly it takes to "shock the conscience" of a left-liberal.  

I suggest you read the whole RTWT:
Legal Torture: The Upturned Moral Universe of Progressives 

Be forewarned, there are neccessarily harsh descriptions therein.
 
I was compelled to comment and did so thusly:

Brilliantly contrasted and illuminating.  Have yet to see a better explanation of left-liberal amorality anywhere. That Obama can speak of "shocking the conscience" in regards to waterboarding, while promoting and protecting the legality of killing innocent babies by imcomparably more gruesome and heinous techniques described here shocks mine. 

If you can imagine, it's even worse; get this:
 
From an article by Daniel Allot called Audacity of Death, June 2008, 

 As an Illinois state senator, Barack Obama twice opposed legislation to define as "persons" babies who survive late-term abortions..... Mr. Obama said in a speech on the Illinois Senate floor that he could not accept that babies wholly emerged from their mother's wombs are "persons," and thus deserving of equal protection under the Constitution's 14th Amendment.
 
Maybe Orwell had it right when he said "There are some ideas so wrong that only a very intelligent person could believe in them." 

Personally I think the intelligence is highly over rated;
   
Quite obviously Obama and and his ilk put terrorists who openly ackowledge their dedication to kill as many innocent Americans as possible, on a higher moral plane than an innocent baby whose only crime was to accidently survive  an abortion.  

He may be cool, telegenic, eleoquent, with a teleprompter at least, but the one thing he will never be is an arbiter of morality. Anyone who thinks this President has any business, whatsover, to lecture anyone, on anything remotely connected to morality has no understanding of the traditional definition of that term. 

Must mention that further along in the comments I got an amen, literally, an AMEN.  My first.  

For a lighter persepctive Ann Coulter weighs in, in a way as only she can, with scathing humor.  Love her or hate her, you have to admit she raises ridicule to an art form. Muslims: 'We Do That on First Dates'
