It rhymes with smushmortion.

Last Friday, Phill Kline weighed in on President Barack Obama with his first blog entry at Stand With Truth.

Kline, now a professor at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University, says it's fitting that Obama was sworn in with the same bible as Abraham Lincoln. Of course, Kline is comparing abortion to slavery. He notes that Obama didn't mention "abortion" in his inaugural address and likens it to President Franklin Pierce ignoring slavery in his address.
"On abortion, politician Obama has survived through political calculation, deception and with gratitude to a self-indulgent culture full of distraction and willful ignorance," Kline wrote. "And his first actions have been aggressively opposed to this significant civil rights issue. Yet, President Obama will not escape the judgment of history."

Yes, history won't judge the success of Obama's presidency on the economy or wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but on "whether he leads us to the fullness of the dream -- that every human being will be valued in this nation with just and righteous laws that protect the right to live."

If Obama ends abortion, then Obama has Kline's permission "to be sworn in to his second term of office, with his right hand on the Bible President Lincoln used in his second swearing in ceremony." It's the Bible Lincoln used after he abolished slavery.

At least in his new job, Kline no longer has to pretend that he cares about any subject other than abortion.
