Friday Short Cuts

Insight from the other side: “Every Communist must grasp the truth, ‘Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.’ Our principle is that the [Communist] Party commands the gun and the gun will never be allowed to command the Party.” —Mao Tse-tung (1893-1976)

Dezinformatsia: “Anti-abortion activists on Tuesday released an undercover video showing a senior Planned Parenthood official discussing the disposition of parts from aborted fetuses.” —Associated Press (Translation: Baby body parts are nothing more than recyclable elements.)

The BIG Lie: “The media weighed in and found no evidence to the accusations [of fetal body harvesting].” —Planned Parenthood

Flashback: “Despite recent advances, women in the United States and abroad continue to suffer the consequences of a right-wing U.S. administration that has put politics before health and ideology before science. … The policies of the Bush administration do not represent America at its best, nor do they represent the values that the majority of Americans hold dear.” —Planned Parenthood’s Deborah Nucatola back in 2007 (Are the “values” Americans hold dear the sale of unborn baby parts?)

Upright: “What kind of person nonchalantly describes ‘crushing’ the life from another living being … over a glass of wine and some giggles? … How many Americans are OK with this practice? We should find out. Liberals never have a problem making expansive arguments on emotional grounds. The single woman without health care tells us all we need to know about Obamacare; the lone shooter tells us all we need to know about guns laws, etc. There is simply no reason that [Deborah] Nucatola should not be on television ads everywhere, sipping her wine and intimately describing how abortionists squash the life out of unborn babies for money. How many Americans would accept this policy as normal?” —David Harsanyi

Let’s get right on that: “We should, on a security basis, be mapping the meteorites and the meteors and all the other things that people — asteroids — that people worry about.” —Hillary Clinton

Well that’s comforting: “No Americans will be part of the IAEA inspection teams [in Iran].” —Susan Rice

Late-night humor: “President Obama said yesterday that education is the key to reducing the prison population. Though apparently power tools also work.” —Seth Meyers
