That she was a contestant in a beauty pageant likely has the liberal ladies gnashing their teeth. Her great experience is that of motherhood; so great an experience is it that she never considered killing her last child. Would it be crude to ask of many of the liberal ladies whether they had abortions? There is a ferocity to their outcries that makes one suspect it.

The only slightly false note you struck was the use of 'retarded' to describe a child (baby) with Down's. This is the kind of hate-speech that would normally be associated with the likes of Coulter. Otherwise - great work. Keep reflecting for liberals the true extent of their mean-minded, incoherent, shallow, petty bigotry.

If the above is obvious, why state it? As for Obama and Harvard, an Ivy League education a president does not make. President Wilson far surpassed Obama in this regard and he gave us nothing but a legacy of failure. Furthermore, ex cathedra arguments are of little force. We might ask, given that it is claimed that he is soooo bright, where his law articles are, his client list, his publishing (one is expected to do that as president of the Harvard Law Review -he is the anomoly), and who offered him a clerkship. Obama is no intellectual. Lastly, that he spent 20 years enraptured by the intellectually bankrupt black liberation "theology" offers good evidence that he is a moron, and you, consequently, one too.
