Speaker Pelosi– Wrong on Life

St. Augustine

Speaker Pelosi was on Meet the Press this past weekend defending her vicious record on abortion.

REP. PELOSI: I would say that as an ardent, practicing Catholic, this is an issue that I have studied for a long time. And what I know is, over the centuries, the doctors of the church have not been able to make that definition. And Senator–St. Augustine said at three months. We don’t know. The point is, is that it shouldn’t have an impact on the woman’s right to choose.

Of course, this is not true.
St. Augustine (354-430) condemned abortion because it breaks the connection between sex and procreation… In a disciplinary sense, the general agreement at this time was that abortion was a sin requiring penance if it was intended to conceal fornication and adultery.
But, the truth doesn’t matter to Speaker Pelosi.
…Just like voting to approve the gruesome partial birth abortion procedure does not matter to this Catholic in name only.

The Anchoress is all over Pelosi’s inconvenient truths:

If Pelosi wants to quote Augustine’s saying “three months,” as somehow authoritative - even if the church does not - how does she reconcile that with her abortion voting record, which upholds later term abortions, partial birth abortions, embryonic experimentation, etc, etc. She says “I personally think the answer is 16 weeks,”, but that’s just an opinion, like anyone else’s opinion, even mine - and if she believes the answer is 16 weeks, how can she possible vote in favor of, say, partial birth abortion?

Ace and American Papist have more on Pelosi’s efforts to confuse.

Catholic Republican Representativeswrote Pelosi a lettertoday attacking her for mangling Catholic doctrine. They are asking her “to correct the public record and affirm the Church’s actual and historical teaching that defends the sanctity of human life.”

It’s bad enough that the Speaker is rated 0% by the National Right to Life Association for her perfect record of supporting any and all types of abortions.
It’s another thing entierly that she lies about the church’s view on abortion.

With its indie roots, online video site Jaman is a good fit for “established, but not megaplex-only” kind of studios like Lionsgate, and now the two are on best friends status. Based on the initial offerings, this looks like it could work out great for you internet video junkies out there — titles include “Dogville,” “Girl with a Pearl Earring,” “Gods and Monsters” and one of our all-time faves, “Reservoir Dogs.” Even if the picture quality isn’t Blu-ray and some titles are ad-supported, we’re happy to see more content being tossed (legally) around the interwebs, so we’ll be rolling up that task chair, and lending an ear to some “Reservoir Dogs.”

This morning DavidNYC at Swing State Project revisited Debbie Wasserman Schultz’ determined campaign to undermine and sabotage the efforts of Miami-Dade Democrats to replace reactionary Republican extremist– and Wasserman Schultz crony– Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, with one of the most outstanding Democratic challengers running in this election cycle, Annette Taddeo, someone the corrupt Wasserman Schultz fears could stand in her way when she seeks higher office.

When Wasserman Schultz, co-chair of the DCCC’s less and less credible “Red to Blue” program, first announced her intention to work against the election of the 3 Democrats running against her right-wing buddies– Ros-Lehtinen plus the Diaz-Balart Brothers– in South Florida, she suckered and bribed a more respectable south Florida Democrat, Kendrick Meek, into her scheme. Since then, pressure from the Democratic Party and from the grassroots has forced Wasserman Schultz to distance herself from the unspeakable Diaz-Balarts– she has now allowed their opponents, Joe Garcia and Raul Martinez, into the Red to Blue program and has even given token donations to their campaigns from her PAC– and she has been abandoned in her indefensible position by Meek who has endorsed all three candidates and donated to each as well.

In leaving Wasserman Schultz to steam in her own bile, Meek throws in with former Florida Governor and Senator Bob Graham, who sent an e-mail to every Democrat in FL-18 telling them that he’s “confident that Annette Taddeo represents exactly the kind of change that our country needs” and calling her “a tough, independent-minded Democrat who will fight for the American dream. She’ll also stand up for American values, like health care for children of working families.” He pointed out that Wasserman Schultz’ Republican candidate, Ros-Lehtinen “voted five times against expanding KidCare in Florida. That’s five votes that Ros-Lehtinen cast with President Bush– and against expanding health care for children, even though Florida is last in the country for children with health care coverage, and there are 250,000 uninsured children in South Florida alone.” One can only hope Wasserman Schultz got one of Gov. Graham’s e-mails as well. If she hasn’t, you can let her know what he and other Florida Democrats think by calling her office at 202-741-7154 or 202-225-7931 and telling her to come back to the Democratic Party– or at least resign from the DCCC Red to Blue program. 

If Wasserman Schultz backs away from her support of the extreme right (and extremely corrupt– like DWS herself– Ros-Lehtinen, she will be getting on board with Emily’s List, United Teachers Dade, the AFL-CIO, American Federation of Government Employees, International Union of Painters and Allied Tradesman, Ironworkers Political Action League, Communications Workers of Americans, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Democracy for America, the two biggest netroots PACs (Blue America and Orange to Blue), as well as Democratic congressmembers who may be a little skeptical about DWS and his motives, nemesis Charlie Rangel and a growing posse of congressional Democrats sick to their stomachs over her corruption and worried that she will drag the Democratic Party down the same path that Tom DeLay dragged the GOP. Besides Meek and Senator Russ Feingold, solid progressives like Lucille Roybal-Allard, Xavier Becerra and close Pelosi ally Hilda Solis have endorsed Annette Taddeo and contributed to her campaign. Shamefully, most members of Congress will not contribute to Democrats who haven’t been endorsed by the Red to Blue program and Wasserman Schultz plans to keep Annette off that until it is too late to make a difference– the same way she managed to keep her off the stage at the Democratic National Convention today. Wasserman Schultz is on the verge of a nervous breakdown over her pigheaded unwillingness to back away from her support of Ros-Lehtinen.

When we heard of Polk Audio’s Atrium Sat 30 and Sub 10, we can’t say we envisioned those two objects you see pictured above. Debuting at this year’s CEDIA, these two units combine to create a new outdoor speaker system “that adapts seamlessly into any exterior landscape.” The Sat 30 resembles an outdoor light fixture (or one of those “plants” on Honey, I Shrunk The Kids), while the Sub 10 was crafted to resemble a “plant stand or pedestal table.” Both devices are sealed from water and are hopelessly ugly in and of themselves, but if you’re looking for something to blend right into your flora, look no further. The pair will begin shipping in January 2009 for $179 (Sat 30) / $329 (Sub 10). Full release after the break.
