I just read a commentary by some white guy in the Tampa Bay area (Tampa Bay Times, free periodical . . .) who utterly berated Michael Vick calling not only for his imprisonment, but indirectly saying that now he'll never amount to anything!
This is just plain racism!
The judge rightly upheld societal law concerning cruelty to animals. But, in doing so, as a Professor of Applied Ethics, someone who is deeply indebted to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for questioning injustice, I nonetheless am left wondering about the incongruities of the 2007 U.S. Judicial System.
Roe v. Wade created a supposed 'right' (something unfounded in 1600 years of previous Christian Western history!) to kill one's baby in utero.
Granted, the Supreme Court, as led by three Catholic and one Black Christian Justice (Scalia, Roberts, Alito and Thomas) recently over-turned part of 'abortion law' by declaring that partial-birth abortions are now illegal, but as ads for first trimester abortions published by Planned Parenthood demonstrate, the assault upon life in the U.S. is still well felt.
This, my friends, is neither a Democrat nor a Republican issue! Candidate for President Rudy Giuliani (a man who scares me due to his Draconian police focus) is pro-abortion, but a Republican. I, however, have been a Democrat from 1990 - 2004 and now again a Democrat in 2007 and I am firmly Pro-Life as part of Catholic Christian Teaching on Right to Life issues (not to mention the Constitutional protection of life that Roe v. Wade had over-ridden).
So, there you have it.
American hypocrisy yet again shown.
One can be a white mommy and kill one's baby (unique D.N.A., heartbeat, brainwaves of the baby), but for being black skinned, just for engaging in dog fighting (again, this is horrific and cruelty to animals), Michael Vick gets the hammer.
Well, my friends, if elected President, I would give Michael Vick a pardon, but on the condition that he spend 10 hours a week for two years in community service at a local animal shelter!
As for Abortion, I will seek to reinstate historic Christian Teaching as enshrined in LAW (1700's - 1973) in over-turning Roe v. Wade as both anti-Christian and un-Constitutional on both Christian Theological & Ethical grounds and on the grounds of secular rationality!
Blessings in Jesus Christ,
Rob King
