Editor, the Advocate:

Our history now includes two Husseins. Saddam Hussein was a sociopathic tyrant who personally, by his own hand, murdered many people. After he had assumed power in Iraq, he told underlings one of his principles of government: "If there is a person, there is a problem. If there is no person, there is no problem." He also, after a political rival was tortured and executed by his security thugs, would send an invoice to the executed person's family for bullets used in the execution.

Today, the Democrats tell us that an unborn child is not a person - that there is no person in the womb. They have now gone further and, as B. Hussein Obama did when he was an Illinois state senator, are advocating infanticide: if a baby is born alive after an abortion attempt, they do not want any measure taken to save the baby's life, that might "burden" a woman's or teenage girl's "absolute right" to abortion. Now our Hussein and the Democrats in their party platform advocate that all taxpayers pay for everyone's abortions. And this death dealing is called "health" care.

What's the difference between Iraqi Hussein's invoice for the bullets and U.S.A. Hussein's billing us, the taxpayers, for abortions?
