‘As the president said, if your actions result in only saving one life, they’re worth taking,” To bad Obama didn’t feel that way in regards to Benghazi! Obama’s rules and beliefs are so transitory, much as he believes the Constitution should be, his morals and beliefs evolve and mutate to fit his agenda of the day.

Personally, I love the argument:

“Abortion takes the lives of women the world over. Banning it, if it saves just one life, would be worth it.”

“Homosexuality promotes AIDS, Hep C, and other diseases that kill thousands here, and millions world wide. Banning homosexuality criminally, if it saves just one life, would be worth it.”

“Homosexuality leads to pedophilia, a disease which cripples or kills millions of defenseless children each year. Banning it, if it saves just one life, would be worth it.”

“Automobiles kill millions. Banning them, if it saves just one life, would be worth it.”

“Bathtubs cause people to drown by the dozens each year. Banning them, if it saves just one life, would be worth it.”

“Doctors kill thousands of people every day. Banning them, if it saves just one life, would be worth it.”

Fatuous morons could go on like this all day, and mouth-breathing liberals intent on imposing a totalitarian police state will go on eating it up.

If that is B-HO’s outlook, then why didn’t he save 4 lives in Benghazi? Or is 1 his limit?

One life saved, against 25 million lives lost if Bill Ayres gets his way.

>Again, if it only saves one life.<

Better ban bees of all kinds, deer, moose, bears, dogs, horses, hippos, lions, tigers, rhinos (chuckle), eggs, peanuts, 5 gallon buckets, and who knows what else.

Worst Vice President in history.
