Doctor who did 1,200 abortions asks congress to ban them - graphic video

Dr. Anthony Levatino is a pro-life physician from New Mexico but, before having a change of heart on the issue of abortion he was an OBGYN who also performed abortions.

Dr. Levatino did as many as 1,200 abortions — some of them after 20 weeks of pregnancy

In the video above Dr. Levatino tells members of a Congressional committee that they should support a bill sponsored by Congressman Trent Franks that would ban abortions nationwide after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

The video is poignant, graphic and disturbing. It could be a wake-up call to naïve abortion advocates.

Proposed bowling shoe law in New York

The New York Daily News reports that the proposed bowling shoe law should be a gutter ball saying the State doesn’t need a law warning about the slipping hazard of wet bowling shoes if worn outside.

That’s right - it could soon be against the law to wear bowling shoes outside in the rain.

Go bowling. Rent shoes. Roll a few frames. Go outside for a smoke on a rainy day. Return to lane. Slip and fall when moisture on soles hits waxed floor. Blame the alley. Sue. Collect big bucks.

Thanks to trial lawyers and judges run amok, this preposterous phenomenon is apparently quite prevalent in today’s infantilized, hyperlitigious society.

With all the corruption in the State House in Albany and all lawmakers can focus on is banning the use of bowling shoes outside!

What will be next for New York state lawmakers? Ban plastic bags? Oh, wait...that’s already done.

Why not try working on the really serious stuff and leave the outdoor ban on bowling shoes to the bowling alley proprietors?

Obama boards MarineOne without returning the Marine guard’s salute

From a pool reporter:

Under gray skies and intermittent drizzle, President Obama boarded Marine One at 9:30 a.m. EDT in an open press event.

A few White House regulars were atwitter (and on Twitter) when the President walked directly up the steps of Marine One without saluting the Marine on duty.

Mr. Obama did come back out of the helicopter, walked down the steps, shook hands with the Marine but still no traditional return of the salute - giving additional fodder to those who say the president has little regard for the military.

A crack in the dam protecting the IRS scandal

From a Power Line report at the link below:

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command.

Ms. Lerner (pictured) announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify before the House Oversight Committee.

She will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

A government employee taking the 5th before a congressional investigation into her job is really an admission of guilt!

One wonders whey she didn’t use Hillary Clinton’s defense strategy by saying "I don´t recall. I can´t remember how it came about. I just don’t remember."

Poll: 56 percent want to go back to pre-ObamaCare system

Most American voters say their family will be worse off under ObamaCare, and think it would be better to go back to the pre-ObamaCare health care system.

Young voters and seniors are pessimistic about ObamaCare. Majorities of those under age 35 and those 65+ think things will be worse under the 2010 health care law.

That helps explains why a 56-percent majority wants to go back to the health care system that was in place in 2009. Some 34 percent would stick with the new law.

Report: Criminality appears to be at the heart of the IRS scandal

The political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party.

The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election to avoid a repeat of the election landslide of 2010.

There are a lot of numbers out there. Some say Tea Party applications for tax-exempt status averaged 27 months for approval, while applications from liberal groups averaged nine.

In one extreme case, according to the Washington Post, the IRS granted the Barack H. Obama Foundation tax-exempt status in a speedy one-month timeframe.

Yet some conservative groups waited up to three years, and some still haven’t received approval.

There can be only one reason for the stalled-out approval process for conservative groups. The IRS was trying to put them out of business.

So far there is not one bit of contradictory evidence.

ABC’s Cokie Roberts blasted Obama’s ‘Presidential Propaganda’

ABC News reporter Cokie Roberts recognizes that the Obama administration has far overstepped its constitutional boundaries in obtaining the personal emails of Fox News reporter James Rosen.

The left-leaning political commentator denounced the Obama/Holder Justice Department’s actions on Tuesday’s Morning Joe on MSNBC, claiming the overreach was “appalling.”
