Fred Thompson delivered a rousing speech at the National Right to Life conference today. He exposed Obama as the fraud he is when it comes to faith. Thompson said this about Obama’s radical abortion stands:

For example, in 2002 a federal law, the Born Alive Infant Protection Act was signed by President Bush. This act protected babies that survived late-term abortions. Only 15 members of the US House opposed it, and it passed the US Senate unanimously. Even NARAL did not oppose it.

That same year as an Illinois legislator, Senator Obama voted against similar legislation that would have given these babies life-saving medical attention.

I trust that he is explaining how it is that he is to the left of NARAL on this issue during the “religious outreach” meetings he’s been holding of late.

Go Fred! I miss him.

Fred explained the importance of re-affirming our nation’s founding principles rather than pursuing “change”:

This country was founded on certain eternal truths – the lessons of the Scriptures and the wisdom of the ages … the recognition that there is such a thing as human nature that must be taken into account when governing … a respect for tradition and – most fundamentally – the proposition that people are meant to be free.

From these principles a government was formed – a government with its powers separated, checked and balanced, because the Founders knew that power tended to corrupt human beings. In keeping with that, they incorporated into our Constitution a system of Federalism to ensure that there was not too much power concentrated in the central government –a central government that was given certain delineated powers and no others.

Thompson went on to question the kinds of changes Barack has in mind:

Has freedom, liberty and the strength which guarantees them become outdated? And just what part of our Constitutional framework requires sprucing up or should be abandoned altogether?

Those changes that are momentarily popular in elite circles, which would expand our government, weaken our ability to defend ourselves, redefine marriage and life itself, sap our sense of personal responsibility and treat our people as if they were merely a collection of appetites to be fed in an election year … they must be rejected.

I miss Fred.

Thompson highlighted the importance of the upcoming election when it comes to the Supreme Court. Most of us, he said, will not live to see far-reaching implications of an Obama-appointed Supreme Court rectified. He spoke of recent flawed Court rulings relating to the death penalty and said this:

Logically, this can only mean that, when the Court decides that our moral standards have evolved even further, they will feel free to abolish the death penalty for all crimes. Then, presumably, we will have evolved to the level of decency of Europeans.

Lol, at “the decency of Europeans” Fred also said Barack is “George McGovern without the experience”! Did I mention I miss Fred?

Do yourself a favor and check out Fred Thompson’s full speech on Townhall. Perhaps the speech will give you that extra bit of motivation to hold your nose and vote McCain.  I know Fred reminded me why I’m proud to be a conservative and most of all proud to be an American.
