Interesting thoughts from Tony Perkins.....at the Family Research Council
Governing from the Muddle The new President hasn't stepped foot into office, but that doesn't mean his party is reserving judgment. In yesterday's Politico, liberal Democrats openly complained that Obama's appointments are "too moderate." Others, especially Democrats from more conservative states, criticized the party's leadership as "too extreme." So which is it? Has Obama gone soft on his agenda or is he biding his time with the nation's goodwill? While we may hope he governs from the middle, word from his spokesperson, Stephanie Cutter, suggests otherwise. In an op-ed for U.S. News and World Report, columnist Deborah Kotz says Cutter confirmed that Barack Obama will keep his campaign promises on issues like abortion. The President-elect still favors the radical Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), which will overturn parental involvement and conscience protection laws. After January 20, we can expect him to line the pockets of abortion providers like Planned Parenthood with our hard-earned tax dollars at home and abroad. There is nothing that suggests an Obama Administration will be middle-of-the-road on the life issue. For the latest on the cultural battle lines being drawn, stay tuned to FRC.
