Politics: Lies, and the Obama who tells them, and the Faux Catholics who let him

I like to consider myself a patient guy.

But this sort of stuff is infuriating to me:

• Obama, in his own BlogTalkRadio discussion with the "American Faith Community", cited the claim of funding of abortion as one example of the false claims that are being circulated by critics of his health care reform initiative."
• Obama's campaign organization - which is still alive and kicking months after his election into office - is humming the same false tune.

Now, the majority of Americans understand that abortion coverage is in the health care reform bill. This despite mainstream media organizations trying to deny and downplay it, and despite Obama's massive spin campaign.

But what really gets me about all this is how various fake Catholic organizations are helping Obama and his surrogates lie. Jack Smith is hot on their trail:

"The administration's ploy throughout the campaign and his presidency has been to seek or invent amenable decoys for the actual voices in faith communities that oppose his radical anti-life agenda. Many of these decoys are pure hacks like the folks at Catholics United and Catholics in Alliance. This is a shameful exercise by an American administration to displace legitimate political opposition by substituting staged conversations with supporters faking as faith groups - and presenting an in-house love fest as concensus building."

Obama and his supporters have perfected the tactic of claiming the other side is doing what they do better. In this case, Obama and his supporters have been shouting from the rooftops that the otherside is making up stories about what is in the current health care proposals.

Well, the joke is on us, because on the issue of abortion in health care, it's Obama and his supporters who are making. stuff. up.

Here are six facts which prove abortion is in the current health care legislation.

Can anyone imagine abortion not being included in this plan, which is predominantly supported by the left and far left, who take abortion-on-demand as a human right and (often) argue that universal health care is a human right?! The fact that they are silent on this issue logically means we must be vocal.

I'm all for arguing matters of prudence, for debating differences of opinion, for contrasting competing political viewpoints, but seriously .... this is a simple matter of facts. And the fact is that abortion is in health care. And shame on Obama, his surrogates and especially some Catholics for denying it.
