This is a mirror of my September 21, 2008 post on my blogspot:
Sherman Frederick, the publisher of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, hit the nail on the head in today’s Commentary by pointing out that John McCain’s perceived distance from e-mail resulted from a disability rather than ignorance.
Strike two against the democrats for disrespecting the disabled citizens of this nation, who are under the law supposed to be given respect and opportunity. First NoBama and those who still regard him as the Second Coming are so clueless that they call a man whose experience could easily qualify his as the very definition of “honor” dishonorable and then they laugh and jeer at a physical disability that impairs his typing ability as though he were running for the office of clerk-typist.
Then in the voice of powerful house member Charles Rangel, they call his running mate and mother of the special needs child she recently bore “disabled” for no other reason than that they disagree with her personal views, principally her view that “Choice” doesn’t just mean the choice to die, but also means the choice to live. Don’t get me wrong; I am Pro-Choice myself, but I disagree with the left-wing zealots’s contention that cute little Trig Palin “should have been aborted.” Pro-Choice people should recognize that as the family’s choice. What next? Define everyone over 50 as disabled and kill them well before they qualify to draw Social Security taxes?
