The Death Of Rational Thought →
…Most people have never even tried to read the Constitution or the Bill of Rights, nor the prolific writings of our nation’s founders that clearly explain precisely what those who wrote, debated, and ratified those documents actually meant and intended, and why.

President Obama said Saturday said he is committed to protecting what he considers a fundamental principle: “government should not intrude on private family maters.”
I asked 3 questions regarding the quote: 1) Since when is killing babies a “private family matter?” 2) If that’s the case, why can’t parents kill born infants (Obama after all did defend live birth...
