Star Parker Does it Again!

Ok, it’s official. One of my new favorite commentators is Star Parker, and she delivers another excellent, eye-opening article. In an article entitled, “Outrage over ACORN, but not abortion,” she wrote these observations and truths:
“The ACORN scandal shows that if Congress wants to act, it can. Within weeks of Fox airing videos of a couple posing as a pimp and a prostitute being advised by ACORN ‘community organizers’ on how to evade taxes and set up a prostitution ring, our stalwart Washington legislators voted to cut off federal funds to the organization. But similar publicized abuses at Planned Parenthood — workers agreeing to cover up rape or earmarking funds to abort black babies — all captured on video and audio — produced no similar action in Washington to cut off funds.”
I had not thought of the disparity between how relatively swiftly ACORN was defunded after corruption and illegal activity was exposed there versus how little outrage was shown or action was taken when corruption and illegal activity was exposed at Planned Parenthood.
She then pans out and makes an observation about our culture in general.
“People all over our country are hurting and we are in widespread denial. A great lie has found its way into our national culture — a lie that has deadened our senses — that we can contend with life’s challenges in a morally relative way.”
And with regard to the health care bills. . .
“If we want to insist that a culture of responsibility means taxing one American to pay for another’s abortion we have a long way to go. But this is where we seem to be today. C.S. Lewis said ‘pain is God’s megaphone to a deaf world.’ It appears that even today that megaphone is still not big enough.”
Wow! I think there is nothing more to say.
