The inherent vice of Capitalism is
the unequal sharing of blessings;
the inherent vice of Socialism is
the equal sharing of miseries.
~ Winston Churchill

I was so disappointed to learn today that yet another Nobel Peace Prize has been given and again I was not the recipient. Obviously the Prize Committee is overlooking the difficult task I have of negotiating the peace amongst my five children. Who did they give it to? Barack Obama? How could they do that, he only has two kids! I watched the news conference in which Obama indicated he would accept the prize and even he appeared to be embarrassed about having received it without any record of accomplishment.
Given that prizes are being passed out in the absence of actual achievement, I decided to check my Twitter rankings — maybe they had decided to move me to the top of their Top 100 list. Nope. I’m still down at 203,306.
What a disappointing day this has been.

The following is a transcript from the video. John Piper illustrates the struggle that many of us have in trying to rejoice over and respect a president whom we believe is guilty of promoting murder; for killing is killing no matter what you call it.

It’s a magnificent thing: The only newly-originating life in the universe that comes in the image of God is Man. The only newly-originating life in the universe that lasts forever is Man.
This is an awesome thing.
And, as everyone knows, that reverence is not shared by our new President, over whom we have rejoiced.
He is trapped and blind in a culture of deceit. On the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, he released this statement,
We are reminded that this decision not only protects women’s health and reproductive freedom, but stands for a broader principle: that government should not intrude on our most private family matters.
To which I say:
- No, Mr. President, you are not protecting women; you are authorizing the destruction of 500,000 little women every year.
- No, Mr. President, you are not protecting reproductive freedom; you are authorizing the destruction of freedom for one million little human beings every year.
- No, Mr. President, killing our children is killing our children no matter how many times you call it a private family matter. You may say it is a private family matter over and over and over, and still they are dead. And we killed them. And you, would have it remain legal.
Mr. President, some of us wept for joy at your inauguration. And we pledge that we will pray for you.
We have hope in our sovereign God.
