I've only somewhat followed the news that the Planned Parenthood video scandal resulted in indictments against those who went undercover. I admit I do smell a rat. I notice that few outside of Planned Parenthood is denying Planned Parenthood actually did the things it is accused of doing. Most have tried to put it into some sort of perspective, or put a spin on it all as if there is anything about harvesting and selling that could be OK.
The indictments seem to be against the undercover team on the basis that they can't do what they did as undercover investigators. I guess. I'm not sure. It hasn't received as much play in the media as I would have thought. Personally, I think the liberal media wishes the whole story would just go away. But I guess this means there won't be future undercover work in sweat shops, or meat factories, or chicken farms, or other places. I suppose, since liberalism is always about consistency and principles.
FWIW, I get the strange feeling that this is one more small step in our inevitable rush toward tyranny and oppression. I'm certainly not going to make some grand 'serves them right for having been dishonest in their attempt to stop the Holocaust' statement. I've never felt that the best strategy when fighting Satan is to shoot his opponents in the back for not being as awesome in their opposition to Satan as I am.
Nonetheless, we'll see what happens.

ReplyDeleteWell put. That's what frustrates me about the oregon protesters incident is that the loudest complainers I saw about it... were people who frequently protested against cops & the government.
I also liked how another blogger put it once:
"[I]f you call yourself a 'conservative' and yet you allow the leftists to set the bounds of what may and may not be said in polite company, then you are no conservative. You will, in fact, constantly be training your guns on your supposed allies, rather than on the leftists."
AND
"[U]nless truth is your priority, you will *always* be a pushover for the enemies of truth."
(then again, both seem to end up explaining Shea so well don't they?)
That is true. I think in some ways we lost when we allowed people who have no interest in anything other than our elimination to set the rules of engagement.
