Right Wing Leftovers

  • The group of right-wingers who gathered to protest David Letterman yesterday were outnumbered(link is external) by members of the media, but still managed to get lots of attention for saying things like(link is external) Letterman "rapes children with his mouth."
  • Senator John Ensign has admitted(link is external) that he had an extramarital affair with a member of his campaign staff and stepped down(link is external) from his position as chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Committee.
  • Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is asking(link is external) organizers of the "Jindal for President Draft Council" to disband the organization.
  • The Family Research Council is predictably unhappy(link is external) with President Obama's decision to extend benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees, calling it a violation of the Defense of Marriage Act.
  • A former Regent University law school assistant dean who was convicted of sex acts with underage girls has been ordered to serve(link is external) 16 years in prison.
  • Changes really are afoot(link is external) at Focus on the Family: Men no longer have to wear ties and women no longer have to wear skirts or dresses.
  • The Christian Defense Coalition and others are organizing a prayer vigil(link is external) at George Tiller's now-closed clinic. The vigil is not for Tiller, but rather to pray "that no abortions would ever be performed in the city again."
  • Finally, John Lofton wants it made clear(link is external) that even though Tiller's work was entirely legal, it was actually illegal:
  • [K]illing by abortion of innocent human beings, in their earliest stage of development, was mass murder. Murder can never be "legal" because God's Law prohibits it. Thus, none of Tiller's abortions were "legal."

    To those who say Tiller's mass murders were "legal" because abortion has been made "legal" by various "laws" and/or court rulings, this assertion is also false. Man-made "laws" that contradict God's Law are not law.
