Keeping Promises: Reversing Executive Orders

Obama advisors gave us a look into the administrative of the president-elect today when nearly all of them got on TV to announce a number of executive orders that they intend to reverse, all of which were major campaign points for Obama advocates:
  • Iraq
  • Healthcare
  • Taxes
  • Social Justice
Oh wait! I read that wrong. None of those issue were in this new prioritized administrative agenda. What are the priorities then, you might ask? Let me go down a list (liberals and conservatives, drum rolls please...)

  • Reverse the ban on family planning counceling such that we will provide financial foreign aid to international groups that will explain / provide abortions. This means we as Americans will be subsidizing the abortions in the third world.

  • Reverse the ban on federal aid to stemcell research. This is directly tied to abortion legislation in America. The idea here is that doctor, hospitals and clinics that abort babies will now be able to part out those babies, post-abortion, selling "stem cell" lines for research. Will this become the next hot commodity on the U.S. Futures market?

  • Ban some oil drilling in the U.S. This is based on some environmental groups who claim that some exploratory drilling, like in Utah, might have adverse environmental affects. I don't know anything about this, but I think it goes in line with Obamas stated policy to keep oil demand high, so he can tax oil company windfall profits, and give out "tax credit" checks so subsidize our addiction to oil.
I know that last one will get some environmentalists cranked, and I said it because I think it is partly true (maybe not entirely.) I have examined Obamas plan to deal with our American addiction to oil and I think it is a federal fundraiser and not a plan to deal with fuel alternatives. Go read more for yourself if you disagree. Most of the detail of his plan deals with raising money at the Federal level through windfall profits, as opposed to specific plans to bolster alternatives research. I am happy to point your insightful comments if you have any or want to disagree.

As for the first two, if you thought Obamas contradictions about supporting planned parenthood and wanting to lower the abortion count were not contradictory, well, these first moves will prove you wrong. Between financial abortion here in American and abroad, coupled with financing new stem cell lines (to further monitize the new elements of abortion industry) we are likely increasing our American cultural propensity toward devaluing life. How? By, in two swift moves, financing abortions at home and abroad and monetizing those aborted babies via federally financed stem cell research.

I am waiting for would-be mothers to now demand a kickback for the stemcell parting-out of their aborted children. Can you imagine it? Congress debating over legislation that gives a tax deduction to would-be mothers if their dead baby is used to create new stemcell lines? (I just made that up, but wait for it... it will happen) The only thing worse would be women lining up to sell off their fertilized eggs to stemcell line research for cash as if at a bloodbank.

And this is what we voted for? How did these points become the priority. Welcome to the new world.
