The following is the front page top story from the Albuquerque Journal on July 4. The couple "chose" not to seek medical help for their baby. Why is it not reported when several babies die every day in this city because someone "chose" to have them aborted? Simple answer. The babies were just in a different location than the one in this story.

Newborn Died While Group Prayed
By Hailey Heinz
Copyright © 2009 Albuquerque Journal
Journal Staff Writer
The parents say their infant's death was the will of God.
Albuquerque police are calling it a "suspicious" death, and the District Attorney's Office must decide if a crime was committed.
A woman attending a church conference in Albuquerque with her husband didn't call for medical treatment while giving birth to twins in a hotel room, even as one of the newborns struggled to breathe, according to a search warrant affidavit.
That child died while church members gathered in prayer. The other child survived, but the parents declined to take the infant to be checked at a hospital.
According to a search warrant affidavit, Samuel and Tammy Kaufman told police at the scene they did not believe in man's medicine, only God, and that their child's death was God's will.
The case could set up a classic clash between child welfare laws and religious beliefs.
According to the affidavit, Tammy Kaufman was pregnant with twins and planned to have them at home. She went into labor suddenly on June 25 at the Sandia Courtyard Hotel and Convention Center at Eubank and Lomas, where the couple was attending a church conference.
According to the search warrant affidavit, the Kaufmans did not seek medical help and only called for rescue personnel to "collect the body" after one of the twins died.
After rescue personnel arrived, the Kaufmans told them the twins were both born alive in the early hours of June 26, but that one of them was "in distress and was struggling to breathe."
Someone in the hotel room where the children were born then called other members of the church group and told them to pray. About 30 minutes later, the other twin also started having trouble breathing, according to the affidavit.
Church group members gathered and started to pray, according to the affidavit, and the second twin's condition eventually improved, while the first twin stopped making noise, stopped breathing and died.
The search warrant is to collect medical evidence. It does not give a hometown for the Kaufmans.
After the child's death, the Kaufmans called rescue personnel to collect the body. A detective on scene advised them to take the living infant to a hospital for an evaluation, but the Kaufmans would not let go of the newborn for treatment, saying they did not believe in man, only God, according to the affidavit.
The Kaufmans could not be reached for comment Friday, and it is unclear what church they belonged to. A group identified as the Church of God had a conference scheduled at Sandia on the day the children were born.
The child's body has been sent to the Office of the Medical Investigator, and investigators are awaiting the results of an autopsy, according to the affidavit.
District Attorney spokesman Pat Davis said the DA's Office is aware of the case but has not been formally presented with the police report.
A recent case in Minnesota garnered national attention when the parents of 13-year-old Daniel Hauser initially refused court-ordered chemotherapy for the boy's Hodgkins lymphoma. The condition has a 90 percent cure rate in children if treated with chemotherapy and radiation, but doctors said Hauser had a 5 percent chance of survival without those treatments.
Hauser's parents cited religious beliefs and side effects of the chemotherapy in opting for natural healing practices. The boy and his mother initially fled Minnesota, but then returned and agreed to the treatments.

Couple "Chooses" Not To Get Medical Help For Dying Newborn

Endowed By Our Creator With The Right To Life
On this Independence Day, it's important to note one of the core passages from The Declaration of Independence and how two of today's leaders have expressed their views of life.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Ann Coulter - Abortion And Hypocrisy
Ann Coulter made the following remarks to Bill O'Reilly on June 22:
"I don't really like to think of it as a murder.
It was terminating Tiller in the 203rd trimester."
"I am personally opposed to shooting abortionists, but I don't want to impose my moral values on others."
It's great to hear someone with the guts to expose the truth about the ridiculous statements made by the liberals and most politicians when they defend abortion. There needs to be more people like her on the national stage to speak out about the hypocrisy of the pro-abortion movement.

Bill O'Reilly And The Rights Of The Unborn
Finally there is someone on television that is continually discussing abortion and the human rights of the fetus. Bill O'Reilly of Fox News recently has been attacked by seemingly every prominent left-winger because he called the abortion doctor George Tiller a baby killer when Tiller was alive. They are trying their best to connect George Tiller's death by a lone gunman with what O'Reilly said in the past, even though there is not one shred of evidence to come to that conclusion. Bill O'Reilly has opened his show on several occasions lately about this matter, but also has used this opportunity to focus on the rights of the unborn.
Once again, the left is going bonkers for only one reason: What O'Reilly has said about Tiller and what he is now saying about the unborn baby are totally correct. They just want O'Reilly to shut up because deep down, I believe, they know they are on a losing end of this argument. The liberals will just never admit it.
What's ironic is that Bill O'Reilly would probably move on to other issues if the left would stop criticizing his portrayal of Tiller and his view of the unborn's rights. The left's obsession with O'Reilly in the first place is laughable. He is much more moderate than Sean Hannity and others on Fox or conservatives on the radio. He often tries to see both sides of an issue and usually has someone on with a different view than him such as displayed in this video.
Most conservative radio and television hosts, along with many columnists seldom bring up the abortion issue. They need to continually expose the truth of abortion so the general public will be exposed to the truth on this issue. Bill O'Reilly needs to keep pounding away on the pro-life view even if and when the drumbeat from the left dies down. Way to go Bill!

Abortionist Killed: National News; Abortionist Kills Woman: Ignored
This is from the site JillStanek.com on June 16, 2009:
The following is a statement released today by Eileen Smith (pictured right), mother of 22-year-old Laura Hope Smith (pictured below left), who died on the table during a "safe, legal" abortion on September 13, 2007. There's nothing more I can add.![]()
Abortionist Killed: National News
Abortionist Kills Woman: Ignored
Abortionist George Tiller's death brought an outpouring of national media headlines and Congressional condolences to his family by a resolution approved by the US House. Laura Hope Smith's death at the hands of an abortionist was and continues to be ignored, and her mother's effort to bring it to the attention of her senator was stonewalled.![]()
"Where was the press when my daughter Laura died at the hands of an abortionist?" asks Eileen Smith, Laura's mother. A media search shows mostly news reports from nonprofit organizations, religious news and other alternative media. Laura's death was mentioned 10 months later in one major publication, The Boston Globe, when the abortionist was indicted for manslaughter. It was six weeks before her local paper, The Cape Cod Times, mentioned Laura's death, although it sought out her mother for a two-hour interview just two days after Laura's death. Smith says the local newspaper rationalized delaying a report on Laura's death so it could corroborate it with an autopsy report.
"Since when has news been postponed in lieu of reporting facts, except in the abortion deaths of the mothers?" asks Smith. "I have to believe that it is only because the media's bias toward abortion determines what makes news," she said.
"If Laura had died falling off a bike or in a car accident, it would have been in the paper the next day," she said. "My daughter walked into that abortion facility healthy, and she left dead," Smith said.
Smith believes Tiller's death is another senseless killing in the history of abortion, adding to the 50 million untimely deaths of unborn babies, including the 60k viable babies aborted by Tiller. "His death is a tragedy, but so are all the lives that were taken by him and the lives of over 400 women who have died as a result of an abortion," said Smith.
The abortionist was indicted by a grand jury for manslaughter in the death of Laura, following an investigation by local police and the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine. The District Attorney found the abortionist's conduct to be "willful, wanton, and reckless" because he sedated Laura with level three drugs without any means of cardiac monitoring or blood pressure cuff; had no assistant who could administer sedation, monitor the patient, or assist in resuscitating her; and, "failed to timely initiate a call to 911." The board also alleged that the abortionist made false statements.
"I call on the media to report deaths like Laura's," said Smith. "If Tiller's death merits national news, so does a death at the hands of an abortionist," she added.

Should God Be The Focus When Spreading The Pro-Life Message?
There's a subtle debate within the pro-life community: God or no God as a focus when discussing the abortion issue. Both approaches have been successful in certain instances. 40 Days For Life has proven that when thousands pray in front of abortion mills many innocent lives can be saved. For years others have spread the message of Jesus to those on the verge of having an abortion. Many pro-life organizations believe that stressing God and the Bible is the main requirement when promoting the pro-life cause.
On the other hand, several groups such as Justice For All and The Center For Bio-ethical Reform show graphic photos, but do not prominently stress God when discussing the issue on campuses even though Christians are behind these organizations. There is even a group called Pro-Life Union For Secularity and Godlessprolifers.org. An organization called Created4life in the UK sets up tables of fetal models and then interacts with people about the abortion issue without stressing God or religion.
What does the Bible say about abortion? I have heard the argument that it never mentions the word abortion or the specific act of killing the baby in the womb. Actually, that is correct as far as it goes, but the Bible doesn't specifically say that it's wrong to murder by handgun or car bomb either. There are plenty of other examples of killing that are not spelled out precisely in the Bible, but God obviously condemns.
To say that abortion is wrong, one must state that the unborn entity is a human. There are examples in the Bible that state this clearly.
Genesis 25:21-22 - Now Isaac pleaded with with the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord granted his plea, and Rebekah his wife conceived. But the children struggled within her ...
Luke 1:41 - And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb...
Psalm 139:13 - For you formed my inward parts; you covered me in my mother's womb.
Job 31:15 - Did He who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same One fashion us in the womb?
Jeremiah 1:5 - Before I formed you in the womb I knew you ...
Since these objects in the womb are considered humans by God, then what does God say about the killing of humans. In the Ten Commandments, it states You shall not commit murder. That sounds specific enough to me.
It's obvious that the pro-life position can be argued without any reference to God or the Bible, but every argument can be traced back to a moral belief that abortion is the killing of a human. This moral foundation that abortion is killing derives from somewhere, and that "somewhere" isn't some vague nebulous place. That moral foundation comes from God. Atheists can argue the case against abortion, but that foundational belief has to have its origins from somewhere. For those who say that their moral foundation states that abortion is not killing, or it is acceptable killing, then that view obviously cannot be based on God.
In arguing the case against abortion, initially bringing up God or quoting from scripture may turn away many who might otherwise listen to your argument. They often don't see it as an abortion discussion, but a case where you are trying to shove your religion on them. The pro-life position can easily be made in terms of embryology or just using the logic of the location or development argument in comparing the unborn to the newborn. The discussion can work it's way to the fundamental moral beliefs that both of you have. Then God and the Bible can be brought into the debate, without turning them off.
What is the goal of promoting the pro-life position? It should be the reduction or elimination of abortion. God and the Bible can be incorporated into this argument, and consequently bring people to Christ. But if one comes through the front door with Christianity, it seems that the task of reducing abortion will be doubly difficult. You are now trying to convince them how important Christianity should be to them, while also trying to convince them that abortion is an unacceptable practice.
There's a disturbing situation that has come to light in the last year. What if you're a Christian, but supported and voted for Obama and others who are extreme proponents of abortion. Unfortunately, there are millions in this country who did just that. The Catholic Church, of course, is very vocal about pro-life beliefs, but a whopping 54% of Catholics voted for Obama. Even the most visible Catholic university, Notre Dame, had him speak at their commencement exercises. Of self-professed evangelicals, 38% voted for Obama. Then you are dealing with an entirely different approach to the abortion issue. The focus should be on the contradiction of believing in pro-life values, but voting for someone whose beliefs are totally opposite of those values. I think it is obvious that the pro-life issue isn't that important to these Christians. Then the goal is to shine the light on the issue so it will be prominent in their minds in future elections.

The Left Should Be Blamed For the Death Of ...
At this time the message is that whoever is pro-life is a co-conspirator in the death of George Tiller. From what I've read, if you ever called abortion murder or said George Tiller was a murderer, then you actually helped pull the trigger. According to the Leftists, any pro-lifer is now a Jihadist, just like the Department of Homeland Security stated we were.
If we are to be blamed for the death of George Tiller, then Al Gore should be blamed for the killing and destruction that Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, did. He had Al Gore's book, Earth in the Balance, in his tiny cabin, and Kaczynski's manifesto is very similar to what Al Gore wrote in his book.
The Left led by Barack Obama should be blamed for the death of Andrew Long, the Army recruiter in Arkansas who was killed by a Muslim. They should be blamed because they are often trashing the military, while supporting Islamic terrorists at Guantanamo Bay.
The Hollywood Left and the video gaming industry should be blamed for every murder in this country, because, of course, they both glorify killing, which makes the average citizen kill.
Of course, these examples are ridiculous, but there seems to be just as much or even more of a connection then blaming pro-lifers for Tiller's death.
It's the same old line by the media and the Left. As usual, they just want to shut up any dissenting view of abortion. It's an attempt to scare every pro-lifer to never call abortion what it really is - murder. And if we don't shut up, I wouldn't be surprised if pro-life speech is covered under future hate crimes legislation. It's a small step from anti-homosexual opinions being called hate speech to outlawing and punishing any reference to calling abortion murder.
There's one proper response to all of this. Do not stop focusing on the death of over one million babies a year in the United States! In fact, double the efforts to tell and show what abortion really is. Do not let the Left control the agenda on this issue. There are a number of hypocrisies in the Left's view that are fairly obvious, i.e., their view of torture when it pertains to terrorists compared to their view of torture of the unborn baby. We need to constantly bring out their inconsistencies and put them on the spot. Who knows, maybe some will actually see the hypocrisy of their views.

An Abortionist was Aborted Yesterday
I have read many responses to the killing of George Tiller, but there is one that is a little different. This is an interesting response from Bryan Kemper of Stand True, www.standtrue.com
An Abortionist was Aborted Yesterday – Stand True's Response
Yesterday morning, abortionist George Tiller was aborted as he walked into his church. Someone decided to take the law into their own hands and abort him for what he has done to thousands of innocent little baby boys and girls.
Stand True does not believe in aborting abortionists and denounces this violent act. Answering the violence of abortion with more violence will not serve the babies or help the pro-life movement in any way. We are praying for the family of George Tiller and those in his church while he was shot. We know that healing can come through Jesus and pray those involved in the abortion industry will turn to Christ.
I am sure some of you are trying to figure out why I would be so insensitive as to use the term “aborted” when referring to the murder of George Tiller. I wonder of those who think I am being insensitive are also people who would be mad when I use the term “murdered” when talking about babies who are aborted? In all reality I am being very sensitive to the abortion industry by saying he was aborted, since that is the term they like to use to describe the taking of a life.
While this may sound very sarcastic, I am truly saddened by yesterday's events. However I am also saddened that yesterday, 4,000 babies were also murdered. I am saddened that today, 4,000 babies will be murdered. I am saddened that tomorrow, 4,000 babies will be murdered.
I am saddened that the news media will not be reporting on the horrific fate of those 4,000 innocent babies who are just as human as and deserving of the same protection as George Tiller.
I am saddened that the police who so diligently searched for and apprehended the man who aborted George Tiller; are the same police who protect the men and women who abort little baby boys and girls.
I listened to commentators talking on the news about how we need to “tone down” our rhetoric to avoid violence. What they refuse to see is that our rhetoric is crying out against violence, the violence of child killing. We are the ones who are trying to bring an end to violence and 4,000 murders a day.
I have seen what happens is the past when an abortionist is aborted, the pro-life movement seems to shy away from action. I have seen people drop out of the movement and back away from getting involved.
If anything, we need to step up our fight against violence and the killing of human persons. What yesterday showed us is that hearts have been hardened to life and we must shine the light of Christ and Hope into this dark world even brighter then ever.
I urge all of you who believe in the sanctity of human life to stay focused. Do not let this despicable act of cowardice sway you from standing up and being a voice for the babies. I know things will be tough, as people will judge us just for being associated with pro-life. We must reiterate that the abortion of George Tiller was not a pro-life act, just as the murder of 4,000 children a day are not pro-life acts.
As for using the term “aborted” when referring to the death of George Tiller. I will stop using that term when the pro-abortion industry starts calling abortion “homicide”, which is what it is. I am simply using their own term to describe the taking of a human life; they should have no problem with it.
For Christ I stand,
Bryan Kemper

Ty Toribio's Post-birth Abortion
On May 15, three-year-old Ty Toribio was found buried in a park in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and his mother, Tiffany Toribio, has been charged with killing him. According to her, she suffocated Ty and then buried him because she was homeless and could not take care of him. Approximately 600 people showed up for his service, even though almost all never knew him. Father Stephen Imbarrato of Project Defending Life, www.defendinglife.org, sent the following excellent letter to the Albuquerque Journal to be published.
Ty Toribio's Post-birth Abortion
Fri May 22 10:46 am
Three year old Ty Toribio’s death is a tragedy and everyone quoted in the paper and elsewhere have responded with what would seem to be appropriate grief and shock.
Ty’s mother could get 25 years to life in prison for killing her son. Some will think she deserves the death penalty. But if she had aborted her son 3 years earlier, just before he was born, it would have not only been ok, but many would have said she did the right thing. Even now many will say that it would have been better for Ty to have been aborted than to have suffered this death.
Not many years ago, when I lived in NJ, Amy Grossberg and Brian Peterson killed their newborn baby by throwing the baby into a dumpster after delivering the baby in a hotel room. Month’s later, Melissa Drexler, the prom mom, delivered her baby in a bathroom at her prom, threw the baby into a trash can, and returned to the prom for the rest of the night. Grossberg and Peterson received about 2 years each in jail and Drexler served 3 years in jail.
In 2000, Martita Gonzalez threw her 14 month son off the Paterson Falls when she couldn’t get a babysitter so she could go on a date with the father of the child. People were as horrified then as they are today over Ty’s death.
Circumstances vary in every case, but a couple of things can be said. In every one of the cases mentioned in my letter, if abortion had been the “choice,” it would have been perfectly legal and many would have said, “the right choice.” Many in this country feel that abortion is the answer to child abuse. The truth is that the abortion mentality in this country is the cause of this deadly child abuse. All of the examples I have mentioned in this letter are nothing more than “post-birth abortions.” Ty’s mom is guilty of a “post-birth abortion.”
The deputy chief of Albuquerque police is quoted as saying, “we feel a special connection with those who are often too young and too small to protect themselves. The mood here is…unspeakable horror. How could a mother do this to her child?” Correct! These are appropriate words and feelings, but it is obvious in this country that these words and feelings, for far too many people, apply only to babies already born and in some cases not even to newborns, as the Grossberg, Peterson, and Drexler cases illustrate.
There is something very wrong in this country and this case clearly points out what it is. Our young moms have been brought up and taught that killing babies is ok and that, in many circumstances, it is the right “choice.” Faced with an emotional situation, it is not hard to understand how these moms often do not make the distinction of pre-birth vs post-birth. Ty’s tragic death is the product of living in a “culture of death” and this “culture of death” began in January 1973 when abortion became legal. These moms are merely exercising their “choice.” If their “choice” horrifies us post-birth, it should equally horrify us pre-birth.

New Excellent Publications For Your Reading Enjoyment
What does one do when there are several hours to kill on a flight? Recently I read two excellent books that cover the abortion debate and our society in general. 
The first is The Case For Life, Equipping Christians to Engage the Culture, by Scott Klusendorf. He goes into detail about defending the pro-life view, and it's an excellent refresher course if you already know the techniques. He also delves into the relationship of the church, Christians, and the pro-life issue. Scott Klusendorf relays many of his personal experiences of defending the pro-life position and then gives review questions after each chapter. 
Another excellent book is the best seller Liberty And Tyranny, A Conservative Manifesto, by Mark R. Levin. I've never read a clearer contrast between Conservatives and Liberals, which Levin's classifies as Statists. This book is extremely relevant to what is occurring today with the Obama administration. Most of what the Statist believes is exactly what Obama is doing now, or it's very apparent he will do in the future. He examines several general issues and contrasts how Conservatives and Statists disagree on most key points. Levin then spells out what Conservatives need to do to change the situation in many different areas of our society. Levin interjects throughout the book writings from our founders or excerpts from documents such as The Declaration Of Independence.Throughout the book is the theme that we need to return to what the founders envisioned America to be.
There's another publication that is worth reading and to use as a reference. The small but useful handbook, Sharing the Pro-Life Message, by the Pro-Life Action League, is an excellent guide for defending the pro-life position. It also contains a section on the law and the pro-life issue and many facts about Planned Parenthood. Go to the website ProLifeAction.org for a free copy, or you can purchase several copies of this 96-page publication at a very reasonable rate.

In Memory Of Faith
Many of you have read and commented on my previous post about Myah and Faith and the blog babyfaithhope.blogspot.com. Here are Myah's last two posts:
Saturday, May 23
The best 93 days of my life...
were spent with my daughter. Faith went to Heaven today. We spent the entire morning and some of the afternoon snuggling together in my warm bed. I told her that I loved her many times. I was holding her in my arms when she passed away. It was around 4:40
in the afternoon. I had just finished changing her diaper and I decided to pick her up and wrap a blanket around her. She made a very sweet smiling face and held it for several seconds... I thought it was very cute. I waited for her to take her next breath, but she didn't. She looked up at me and opened her beautiful eyes, and I realized what was happening. I told her to go with Jesus. I told her that I loved her and that it was ok, that I would meet her in Heaven. I held her close and cried tears on her face. I felt her chest and there was no longer a heartbeat. But she still looked so beautiful. And even now, she is still so amazingly beautiful... as I hold her here she is looking like a porcelain doll. Her tube feed is gone. Her lips are still pink and her facial expression looks so happy and peaceful. God is good.
Thank you all for your prayers.
We spent the night holding Faith and reliving some of the wonderful memories captured of her on video. I will never get over her cuteness... her sweet little voice and all her little facial expressions, her feisty personality, the way she hummed to herself when sucking on her souckie... the way she looked like a baby bird whenever she would suck in her bottom lip, the little dip between her bottom lip and her chin, the way she would route around and suck on mommy's nose, her big exaggerated sneezes, all her smiles and grins... I am convinced that she was the most adorable little girl there ever was. I just keep watching the "Kisses" video over and over again. It never gets old. If you go to the March posts, you can watch it over and over too if you want :) I will be posting many more photos and videos of Faith in the coming days and weeks... I'm sure it will be a huge comfort for me. I am so grateful for all the time I had with Faith and for all the photos and videos and for the memories we shared. And I can't wait to see her again... I don't know how she could get any cuter but I'm sure she is even more beautiful now that she is living it up in Heaven.
God bless Myah and Faith

What I Would Ask Barack Obama
Barack Obama was in my area today for a town hall meeting. I have been thinking about what I would ask him if I had the chance. Here it goes:
From your actions and beliefs, it's apparent that you are one of the most pro-torture people in the United States. Yes, you are a strong proponent of torture in the name of abortion for unborn babies and by your actions and words, even some born babies. Why do you believe in this type of torture that tears the unborn limb by limb, burns it, sucks it though a tube, or other methods until it dies?
You went overseas and criticized America or never defended it when leaders of other countries were verbally destroying us. Why didn't you point out all the great things we have done in our short history?
You said that we aren't a Christian nation, although the documents and words from our founding fathers show that the birth of our nation was based on Christian principles. Your administration also called those who believe in end times and the pro-life view as possible terrorists. Why do have such animosity against Christians that are 77% of our population?
You say that you want to have abortion rare, but if someone wants to have one, it's their choice. If the practice is acceptable enough that you think people should have it done, why should it be rare?
Why do you, your administration, and your media attempt to discredit or destroy anyone who disagrees with you: Joe the plumber, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin and her family, Chrysler investors, Fox News, small businesses, etc.?
Why did you say that you didn't want your daughters punished with a baby?
Should your mother have aborted you? Why not? If you shouldn't have been aborted, why should others?
If there was such an urgency about the stimulus bill that it had to be passed before anyone had time to read it, why is our economy still having major problems?
Do we really have a national health care crisis? I'm sure there are individual crisis situations, but locally if they don't have insurance, they would go to our university hospital and pay on a sliding scale or get it free. If there is a crisis situation in America, then it seems I would encounter people at every turn who couldn't get insurance.
Capitalism and individual freedom have been the cornerstones of the greatness of America. Why do you want to destroy these principles in favor of socialism that has had a very poor track record?

Miss California Stands Up For Her Beliefs And Keeps Her Crown
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From WorldNetDaily, By Ann Coulter
Liberal Taliban Issues Fatwa Against Miss California
Posted: May 13, 2009
5:56 pm Eastern
© 2009
Not even Dick Cheney can incite the blood-curdling rage of liberals at the sight of a sexy evangelical Christian. Paula Jones, Katherine Harris, Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin and, most recently, Miss California, Carrie Prejean, have all come under a frenzy of attacks from liberals.
Christians are supposed to be fat, balding sweaty little men with bad complexions. It's liberals who are supposed to be the sexy ones. (I know that from watching "The West Wing" and all movies starring Julia Roberts.)
But sadly for liberals, in real life, the fat, balding sweaty little guy with the bad complexion is Perez Hilton and the smoking-hot babe is Carrie Prejean.
This apparent contradiction incites violent anger in liberals, triggering their famous "flight or flight" response. So liberals are, once again, launching furious attacks on a beautiful Christian in a fit of pique similar to the one directed at Joan of Arc.
First, the Miss USA contest held a press conference to announce that Prejean had breast implants. Take a Christian position in public and Satan's handmaidens will turn all your secrets into front-page news.
Next, a photographer released a single cheesecake photo of Prejean. This prompted liberal reporters who have never met a Christian to proclaim that Christians were outraged by the photo. Liberals believe abortion is a sacrament, but smoking, wearing short skirts and modeling lingerie are mortal sins. (And if wearing women's underwear is a basis for being disqualified from the pageant, that's the end of Perez Hilton's judging career.)
Then on Monday some genuine "semi-nude" photos were released. These were not what we'd call appropriate for a Christian. In a curiously similar attack, the left's final attempt to destroy Paula Jones was to lure her into appearing naked in Penthouse magazine. Oh well.
Christians aren't people who believe they are without sin; they're people who know they're sinners and are awestruck by God's grace in sending his only Son to take the punishment they deserve.
This is in contradistinction to liberals, all of whom believe they're on a fast track to heaven on the basis of being "basically good" people – and also believe that anyone who disagrees with that theological view is evil.
Finally (so far, anyway), reporters gleefully released the divorce records of Prejean's parents. Because when you want the truth, what is more reliable than angry accusations traded in the middle of an acrimonious divorce?
Liberals used the divorce papers to argue that Prejean had some deep-seated psychological disturbance causing her to oppose gay marriage. Symptoms of this debilitating illness include a belief in some sort of "god" and a reverence for the Bible.
It's not as if Prejean's special talent in the Miss USA contest was to perform an opposite-sex marriage. (Or, as the president and I call it, "marriage.") She didn't even volunteer her "controversial" views on marriage. Rather, she was asked for her opinion on gay marriage and gave it – in an answer wrapped in so many layers of sugar it took 10 minutes to get to the point.
"Well, I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one way or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. You know what, in my country, in my family, I do believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, no offense to anybody out there. But that's how I was raised, and I believe that it should be between a man and a woman."
What a vicious hate-monger! Any second there I was expecting her to bust out a "by golly!" or an "oh my gosh!" Angry gay-marriage supporters should be happy they didn't get my version of that answer. It contains some terms you won't find in your Bible.
Liberals wouldn't attack James Dobson with the amount of bile they've directed at a 21-year-old beauty contestant. It's not just Christianity – it's women liberals hate.
From Jean-Paul Sartre, Pablo Picasso and Bertrand Russell, who treated women – mostly their mistresses – like dogs, to Teddy Kennedy and Bill Clinton in our own day, liberals are ferocious misogynists. They share Muslims' opinion of women, differing only to the extent that liberals also support a women's right to have an abortion and to perform lap dances.
You'd be better off in a real burqa than under the authority of a liberal American male.
I'm not sure we needed a psychological profile of Prejean to figure out why she holds the same position on gay marriage as: the president, the vice president, the secretary of state, Bill Clinton, John Kerry, John Edwards and his mistress, and the vast majority of the American people.
But what is crying out for an explanation is why every bubblehead TV news anchorette from a nice, churchgoing red state ends up adopting the political views of Karl Marx.
From Katie Couric on CBS to Norah O'Donnell on MSNBC, the whole stable of TV anchorettes weirdly have the exact same politics as their liberal masters. It's the ideological burqa women are required to wear to work in the mainstream media. As with a conventional burqa, it enforces conformity and severely restricts the vision.
The only way to protect yourself is to do the liberal male's bidding, as the bubblehead anchorettes do, or stand on the rock of Christianity.
Now, another beautiful Christian has thrown off the liberal burqa, thereby inciting mass hysteria throughout the liberal establishment. Prejean doesn't care. She is blazing across the sky, as impotent nose-pickers jockey for a piece of her reflected light by hurling insults at her.

What Do Planned Parenthood And Most Churches Have In Common?
What do Planned Parenthood and most churches have in common? The love of money when it pertains to the abortion issue.
Planned Parenthood, of course, is a multi-million dollar operation, with a sizable chunk of their revenue resulting from abortions. Obviously, there is a tremendous amount of outrage from the pro-life community about this money-making operation. Also, there's much disgust about the millions of taxpayer dollars that are funneled to Planned Parenthood.
Where is the outrage targeted at the thousands of churches that stand silent on this issue, for what I believe is one reason - the love of money. There's been a murmur in the pro-life community about this, but the churches have basically ignored it. Because they are a tax-exempt organization, they don't want even a hint of violating that designation, in fear that they would then have to pay taxes for their church. Consequently, they feel the congregation wouldn't donate because they wouldn't get a tax deduction. Even before the present administration, they were so worried about rocking the boat, that they just kept silent.
Also, I believe the silence of the churches is because they are convinced that any focus on this issue would cause them to lose donations even though they are still a non-profit entity. They fear that because some members may have had abortions or because the churches perceive this to be such a dividing issue, people would be offended, and the money would stop rolling in. Consequently, many rarely, if ever, mention the fact that 4,000 babies die every day in this country. Their love of money supersedes their voicing any dissenting word about the torture and slaughter of over a million babies a year in the United States alone. Of course, there are many Catholic Churches, plus assorted others who aren't afraid to speak their minds on the horror of abortion and haven't lost their non-profit status yet.
Most churches preach to their parishioners to practice a high moral lifestyle, but in reality they don't practice what they preach. By turning away from this tragedy, they are in essence, condoning the behaviour, which is unconscionable on their part. It even seems ironic that churches regularly call their parishioners sinners, but they ignore the sin of killing innocent lives right under their collective noses. After the events of September 11, 2001, most churches had special services because of the nationwide horror and grief after losing 3,500 of our fellow citizens. America loses this many every day in the name of abortion, but most churches stay silent for one reason - the love of money.
