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?
Strike three may well have been BinBiden's usurpation of the Catholic church's prerogative to determine church doctrine. I can see him identifying with St. Thomas Aquinus who tried to prove that women are inferior to men with the ridiculous assertion that the gestation period for girl babies was shorter than for males, thus making women less devoloped. Maybe Rangel was following the same line of thinking when he called the Alaskan Governor "disabled" -- maybe he thinks all women are. What everyone should notice here, though is that the most outspoken democrats are quite clear in their opinion that "disabled" is a pejorative term and that it is OK to use it to ridicule someone who disagrees with party line. Maybe they need to go back to school and write a hundred times on the blackboard: Franklin D. Roosevelt was disabled.
In any regular game of hard ball, after three strikes this party would have been out, we must remember that these are the same folks who ushered in New Math. They probably think they should still be in the game.
