Did you see Christina Aguilera mess up the National Anthem at the Super Bowl?\u00a0 I didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t see the failed National Anthem, but I certainly read about it.\u00a0 Minutes after Christina\u2019s big flub YouTube videos surfaced of her \u201cramparts\u201d deletion and countless Facebook status updates transitioned from \u201cGo Packers!\u201d to \u201cChristina Aguilera Sucks!\u201d and \u201cWho Forgets The National Anthem?\u201d\u00a0 Within moments of the slip-up social networking forums, blogs, and new sites unanimously proclaimed their disapproval of everything from Christina\u2019s choice of wardrobe to her awful pitch and obvious lack of patriotism.<\/p>\n

One small mistake brought a hail storm of criticism upon the pop-star.\u00a0 The minor error that harmed no one and broke no laws was enough to provoke immediate opinion from much of the country.\u00a0 The next morning, even more buzz circulated about Christina and her horrifying pre-game solo on early newscasts and television shows.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Journalists gave their \u201ctwo-cents\u201d about why and how the seasoned singer botched her performance.\u00a0 Some reporters cracked jokes, others expressed sympathy.\u00a0 The general public gave no mercy for her blunder.\u00a0 Instead, she became a laughingstock.\u00a0 Her actions, of no actual consequence to the American people, provoked a national response of \u201ccomical\u201d condemnation.<\/p>\n

NO GRACE FOR CHRISTINA.<\/p>\n

Maybe there just wasn\u2019t enough to go around.<\/p>\n

In the days before Super Bowl XLV, Live Action released video footage of Planned Parenthood employees engaging in the unlawful behavior of endangering children through aiding and abetting sex traffickers.\u00a0 These videos were similar to those released in previous years, revealing other disgraceful and illegal practices by Planned Parenthood.\u00a0 However, unlike the \u201cChristina incident,\u201d much of the nation kept silent about the Planned Parenthood scandal.\u00a0 Very few members of social networking sites dared to opine on something so controversial as abortion and Planned Parenthood.\u00a0 A disproportionately low number of newscasts and media outlets reported on the tragedy and of those journalists who dared to cover the story even fewer offered their personal insights or convictions regarding the outrageous practices of sex-slavery and child abuse. \u00a0\u00a0According to Brooke Baldwin from the CNN Newsroom, she cannot answer the question of whether or not she approves of the abuse of young girls and the assisting of child sex trafficking. \u00a0She is, after all, \u201cjournalistically not on either side of the issue.\u201d\u00a0 Apparently, reporters can \u201cjournalistically\u201d offer their opinions about Super Bowl performances but must remain mum on matters of child exploitation.<\/p>\n

Why is the public so gracious with Planned Parenthood?\u00a0 Why is it that our country is more apt to criticize and humiliate a celebrity who sang the wrong lyrics than to chastise a government-funded organization that not only contributes to crimes that victimize children but is also responsible for the murder of over 300,000 precious children every year?\u00a0 Why does Planned Parenthood deserve mercy for acts that clearly evidence their murderous, money-making agenda?\u00a0 Why is it allowable for a \u201cpublic health\u201d facility to break numerous laws that protect minors from danger?\u00a0 Why is it forgivable?\u00a0 Why is it forgettable?\u00a0 Why should such atrocious, pervasive acts go unpunished and unspoken?<\/p>\n

MISPLACED GRACE. A harmless error receives mass response while obvious illegal acts are ignored, even defended.<\/p>\n

MISPLACED GRACE.\u00a0 Cut Christina some slack.\u00a0\u00a0Penalize Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
