His many other military decorations included the Purple Heart for wounds received in combat. Upon being offered a position with the United States Department of State he took early retirement from the Air Force and continued to serve his nation as a senior Foreign Service Officer spending six years in Southeast Asia as Inspector-In- Charge, Agency for International Development, U.S. Dept. of State

Sadly couldn't find too much information on Lt. Col. Brown. The best source was his obituary.

Obama Hearts Dead Babies.

The title of this post may sound like so much hyperbole, but what other conclusion can one come to?

The American Principles Project (APP) Wednesday criticized the Obama administration for allowing the elimination of $600 million for Community Health Centers while protecting funding for Planned Parenthood as part of last week’s budget deal agreed to by Congress and the White House.

Touting Planned Parenthood as a key women’s health-care provider, Democrats held firm to their promise not to allow cuts to the nation’s largest abortion provider. Community Health Centers, which do not perform abortions, provide health services to the needy — including mammograms and pre- and post-natal care.

According to the American Principles Project last year Community Health Centers performed 320,000 mammograms while Planned Parenthood did none.

Unlike the blatant lie that Planned Parenthood president Cecele Richards told, Planned Parenthood performs no mammograms. Aside from a few ancillary condoms given out, abortion is, by and large, Planned Parenthood’s Business.

Remember, as an Illinois legislator, Obama voted three times AGAINST the Born Alive Protection Act. In other words, Barack Hussein Obama was quite OK letting a live-aborted baby perish on a gurney or in a trash can, rather than offer it life support.

Obama, beyond a shadow of a doubt, is the most pro-abortion, pro-dead-baby President we have ever had. Period.

His latest act of fealty toward the nation’s most prodigious killer of developing human beings, ostensibly in the name of ‘women’s health,’ to the detriment of organizations that actually provide services geared toward women’s health, is added testament to Obama’s ghoulish psyche.

The Democrats' Continuing War on Children

I’ve always maintained that if there was anyone who had it in for kids, it was the liberal democrat. It is actually my contention that liberal democrats have been waging war against children for decades now, on a number of fronts. On one front, it is their ceaseless support for abortion. On yet another front, it is their insistence on padding their own political fortunes on the backs of the children who actually are fortunate enough to survive the womb, by willingly piling mountains of debt on their progeny for the sole reason of maintaining a stranglehold on their own political power. On yet another front, you have the liberal democrat waging war on children by indoctrinating them; thereby ensuring that they grow up to be nihilistic dolts; unable to sustain a self-determinant and independent lifestyle; thinking that they don’t stand a chance without the limousine liberal establishment being on hand to ‘level the playing field‘ for them.

These are tough times for Minnesota schools. In Lakeville, for example, the school board recently announced wrenching cuts of almost $7 million. Ninety-four teachers will lose their jobs, arts programs will suffer and a school will be closed. There was wailing and gnashing of teeth, but the board set its jaw: There’s not a dime for anything extra.

Unless you’ve got an ax to grind with white folks. Then the money spigots open. The Lakeville schools are sending a delegation of teachers to the 12th annual “White Privilege Conference” at the Bloomington Sheraton from April 13-16. The district is shelling out $160 a pop — plus $125 a day for teacher subs — for this “white guilt” festival.

Aside from being a textbook example of a situation literally screaming for a “Don’t tell me we don’t have any money!” rejoinder, this is also a textbook example of the type of war that the liberal democrat is waging on society by targeting society’s children, even at times going so far as to feature books endorsed by former unrepentant Weather Underground terrorists.

So the next time you see a liberal democrat hiding behind a child to advance his or her agenda, know that the last thing on their mind is the protection of that child and that child’s interest.

Know rather that it is the child who is in their crosshairs.
