I read about this choice one at BaylyBlog, and commend to you the observations made there.
At the National Prayer Breakfast, President Obama said this: “There is no God who condones taking the life of an innocent human being. This much we know.” This is chutzpah on stilts and steroids. The fact that President Obama was willing to utter these words in a room crammed full of politically-oriented Christians, many of them evangelicals, shows that the rot of redefinition is so far advanced in our culture that he knows he is quite safe. If anyone were to attempt to call him on this, that person and not Obama would be called down by just about everyone for being a troublemaker and small-minded garroter of words. Obama is not about to be challenged for his deft exclusion from this question all those millions of innocent lives that don’t count anymore. He is saying, by implication, that “there is no God who condones taking the life of an innocent human being, except for those millions of lives we have found convenient to take on the threshold of life, and those lives we find it too expensive to not take among our most senior seniors. This much we know.” To speak this way is tantamount to saying, and far more simply, “there is no god.”
If a man with Obama’s open-throttle abortion policies can appear at the National Prayer Breakfast, say something like that to a group of Christians without starting a junior high cafeteria riot, then it is clearly time to shut down the National Prayer Breakfast. What conceivable good is it? What would the prophet Isaiah have said? “Who required this tramping through the breakfast line? I cannot endure iniquity and glad-handing evangelicals. Away with the smell of your bacon . . .”
