Uncommon Commentary #493: UC #159 Follow-Up

During Obama’s first term as US president, when undercover, independent filmmakers exposed multiple ACORN (Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now!) offices as being willing to help establish a business importing underage girls from El Salvador for the purpose of prostitution (see Stingers VersusStinkers), the US Senate voted 83-7 to deny the ACORN its customary federal housing-money, which would have amounted to over 1.6 million dollars.  That even seven members of what some call “the world’s greatest deliberative body” voted to preserve such funding was disgraceful, but at least the cutoff passed promptly and overwhelmingly.  This past year, an undercover, independent filmmaker exposed multiple Planned Parenthood offices as conducting a side business in the sale of whole and partial corpses.  Trafficking in cadavers and parts thereof is not the same as trafficking in living human beings, but Planned Parenthood’s ghastly harvesting has been condemned about as widely as was the ACORN’s scandalous behavior, and so: Why is the parallel between the story of the ACORN and that of PP incomplete?  Why, when the US Senate belatedly passed a bill to defund Planned Parenthood, did the measure receive only 52 votes (in a chamber that counts 54 Republicans!), far below the 67 needed to override a presidential veto?  How can the moral standards of any country, even one subjected to the influence of Emperor Nerobama and to that of our odious popular culture, be falling so rapidly as ours are?

Uncommon Commentary #492: “We Need More Time! You Can’t Ruin a Country in Only Two Terms!”

Whomever the Democratic Party nominates to be the next US president ought to use the following campaign slogan: “As if eight years of Obama weren’t bad enough, let’s elect another Democrat to the Oval Office!”

Uncommon Commentary #491: It’s Good that Her Parents Didn’t Name Her for His Sherpa Guide, Tenzing Norgay

I have made occasional reference here at the Doman Domain to the fact that Hillary [sic] Clinton is a liar, and also to the fact that she has a reputation for high intelligence despite misspelling her own first name, which correctly has just one “l”.  I’ve always made the latter reference facetiously, but our non-candid candidate seems to have concern over the issue, for she recently asserted that she was named for the mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary—even though she was already six years old when that Hillary became famous by climbing Mount Everest.  If all her falsehoods should ever manifest physically and be heaped together, they would form a mountain that not even Sir Edmund could scale!

Uncommon Commentary #490: Whether to Vote Against Dunghillary Is Not One of the Hard Choices

According to Judicial Watch, State Department personnel who held concerns about inaccuracy and disclosure of classified information in Hard Choices made an effort to have draught copies destroyed.  If only they’d destroyed the final version!
