Leftists slamming the GOP sink to new levels.\u00a0 Mark Steyn rightly puts them in their place<\/a>.\u00a0 How dare they be so pompous, so judgmental, so self-righteous, so condescending toward those who fail to live their lives in conformity to their absolute moral standards to which they demand conformity.\u00a0 It happened to Sarah Palin, and now it will happen to Rick Santorum.\u00a0 Not that I\u2019m a fan of the former or would vote for the later, but I certainly would draw the line at sexist rants and slams against developmentally disabled babies.\u00a0 Needless to say, I wouldn\u2019t judge\u00a0a person for how they dealt with the most devastating event a parent can face \u2013 the death of a child.<\/p>\n

But true to post-modern form, both Alan Colmes and Eugene Robinson felt the need to jump on Santorum and call him \u2018crazy\u2019 and \u2018weird\u2019 for how Santorum and his wife chose to deal with the death of a newborn baby.\u00a0 Well, that\u2019s what comes from putting the rights of a woman above the life of a baby.\u00a0 That\u2019s what comes from adopting a philosophy that ultimately see babies as a disease, a bunch of snot-nosed brats who should be aborted lest they get in the way of better orgasms.\u00a0 That\u2019s what comes from a lifetime of defending abortion rights.\u00a0 When a parent doesn\u2019t demonstrate the same contempt for the unborn \u2013 and for that matter, the newly born \u2013 expect those who have developed such an attitude to lash out.
Shame on them both.\u00a0 How dare they.\u00a0 At least, how dare they strut like peacocks under the self-applied title of liberal when their calloused appraisal of a parent in the most dire circumstances is more reminiscent of the Fred Phelps of the world.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
