The Bishop Takes The Queen

Sep 9, 2008 Political

Queen Nancy Pelosi made some rather ridiculous statements regarding the Catholic Church’s position on abortion and despite being corrected by sever members of the clergy, she continued with her misguided statements. Now her Archbishop would like to have a word with her. San Francisco Archbishop George H. Niederauer wrote a letter to the Queen requesting an audience with her to discuss whether she should receive communion. Pelosi agreed to the meeting.

The Church is pretty clear on its position regarding abortion. How Nancy Pelosi got the idea that she was qualified to challenge that position is beyond me. Perhaps she was trying to rationalize her pro murder position but whatever the reason, this was clearly “above her pay grade.”

Here is a novel idea. Perhaps Pelosi should stick to her duties as a Congresswoman and leave the religious stuff to the experts. I am sure the Archbishop will agree not to get involved in Congressional business if Pelosi stays out of the Church’s business.

Were tornadoes a message from God?

Aug 25, 2008 Political, Satire

The Democrats have all gathered in Denver for their convention love fest. Despite a lack of limousines, Dems were able to get to their “green” convention in the style they accuse out of touch Republicans of using.

Barack Obama hopes to make people believe he is no different than anyone else who has gone to school on scholarships and student loans and has had to figure out how to afford child care and activities for the youngsters. He might hope people will believe that but he and his wife spend more on piano lessons and camp than most people make in a year. Their kids go to private school and they own a home that cost them more than a million dollars even if a convicted lobbyist helped them buy it for political favor.

The Democrats also want us to believe that they are the party of faith. They barely acknowledged faith four years ago and their secular ways are touted whenever it is not an election year. They realized though, that the religious right is a big voting block and they would like to tap into it. What better way than to have a number of diverse religious groups and to start things off with a prayer? The Democrats are carefully moving into this area and claiming it is because Obama is giving people a seat at the table. The truth is that George Bush beat them with values voters and the left wants to tap into that group.

When there is no election the Democrats love to dismiss religion and invoke such non existent claims as Separation of Church and State (which is not written in the Constitution) and they love to side with the ACLU when it attacks religious groups. They use to dismiss religious voters until the Conservative Christians became a huge force. Now Democrats want to tap into that base. How they expect to do so when the Democratic platform involves killing unborn children and when their presumptive nominee advocates allowing children born alive to die is beyond me.

Perhaps this is why there were four tornadoes near Denver last night. Maybe God is expressing Himself in the debate.

Perhaps last night’s tornadoes were a prelude to Thursday night.

One can only HOPE…

Obama Admits Liberalism Betrays America

Aug 17, 2008 Political

Barack Obama and John McCain were at a pastor’s forum discussing different social issues and they had the opportunity to answer questions about their views on them. They discussed personal failures and answered questions about abortion and same sex marriage and civil unions. Obama punted the abortion issue. He gave the canned response about keeping abortion legal but reducing unwanted pregnancy. I guess to Obama it is OK to murder as long as we do it less often.

On one of the questions Obama basically said that the whole idea behind liberalism is wrong:

Obama was asked what he would say if he could say whatever he wanted and face no public repercussions. He answered, “solving big problems are not going to be easy. We are all going to think about how we using things [energy-wise]. If we pretend like everything is free, we are betraying the tradition of America. [emphasis mine]” CNN

Liberals always pretend like everything is free. They always feel free to tax the hell out of people in order to keep spending money that does not belong to them. Their blatant disregard for fiscal responsibility and the way they spend money shows that they act like it grows on trees. They are in favor of welfare (free money), taxpayer funded educational opportunities (free money), rebates to people who pay no taxes (free money), and earmarks for every person or group to whom they owe favors (more free money).

Because the Democrats always pretend like everything is free they are able keep their base flocking to them by giving more [free] money away.

According to Barack Obama, the Democrats are betraying the tradition of America.

Finally, he said something with which I agree.

Obama Choose One; Murder the Kids or Father them

Jun 16, 2008 Political

Barack Hussein Obama gave a speech on Father’s Day where he told black men they needed to step up and accept responsibility for their acts. He told them that any fool can have a child but raising the child is what makes one a man:

“We need fathers to recognize that responsibility doesn’t just end at conception. That doesn’t make you a father,” Obama said to applause and hoots from the parishioners, “What makes you a man is not the ability to have a child- any fool can have a child. That’s doesn’t make you father. It’s the courage to raise a child that makes you a father.” CBS

Not long ago B. Hussein Obama was defending the practice of murdering children in the womb and he said that if one of his daughters got pregnant he would not want her punished with a child. If I am to understand this correctly, Obama is saying that if a young lady wants to abort a baby she is avoiding punishment but if a young man ignores the child (his way of avoiding punishment) he is a fool and not being a man.

Obambi also used an interesting choice of words when he said that responsibility does not end at conception. Why not? To Obama and the rest of the murderers, life does not begin at conception and the product of conception is nothing more than a “blob” of cells. If, as the left contends, life does not begin at conception, how can a young man who does everything correctly actually be a father. One cannot be a father to a blob of cells so what responsibility is Obama referring to?

Why should Obama care in the first place? He advocates abortion. If we accept the argument that early abortion is not murder (I do not but for the sake of argument) then we would have to agree that a child, seconds from birth, is a human being. Obama believes in late term and partial birth abortion. Obama is all in favor of allowing a doctor to snip open the back of an about to be born child’s head and sucking its brains out. Obama even voted to allow unwanted babies to be born and left to die.

Given that Obama is all in favor of these barbaric methods of infanticide, why should we care what his views on fatherhood are? Who is he to admonish young men? Who is he to tell them that any fool can have a child but that it takes a man to raise the child? How can he say that a pregnant young lady is punished with a child but that a man must raise one?

It does take a man to raise a child and raising children properly makes that man a father. Advocating killing unborn (and in some cases just born) infants is contrary to the idea that it takes courage to raise a child. If Obama advocates killing those children then he lacks courage and he has no moral authority to tell other men to exhibit courage and raise their children.

B. Hussein’s little speech will get great play in the media (and he will not be castigated like Cosby was) and he will be treated as a man of the people who is so in touch with the problems facing the black community, a visionary, a man with great insight, a man full of hope and change. The reality is, he advocates infanticide and ignoring responsibility.

Obama does not want his daughters punished. He would rather punish an unborn child that had no say in the matter.

A society is measured by how it treats its weakest members. There are none weaker than the unborn and we are failing miserably in the way that they are treated.

It is OK to abort your child
Or so the story goes
Whether it’s for medical reasons
Or to clear up sexual woes

Yes it’s true, I’m sad to say
It really is no ruse
A fetus isn’t considered a life
Unless born damaged from abuse

There are many people who say out loud
It’s a woman’s right to choose
The father really has no rights
Don’t fight it, he will lose

Of course it’s really different my friends
Should she choose not to abort
The man has no rights the other way
He gets socked with child support

Oh what a tangled web we weave
When Pro-Choicers have their say
I wonder where they’d be right now
If their mothers felt that way.

Marxist, Obama Supporting Judge, Strikes Death Penalty

Jun 14, 2008 Political

Judge James Burge of Ohio has ruled that the state’s method of executing prisoners violates the Constitution because two of the three drugs used cause pain to the person getting them. I am no judge but the Constitution does not say that punishment should be pain free. It only says that it may not be cruel and unusual.

Amendment VIII:
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. [emphasis mine]

Under this judge’s interpretation we would not be allowed to make criminals in jail do any strenuous work (like being on the chain gang) because they will have sore muscles when they are done and God forbid we cause them any pain. As far as someone being put to death, what does it matter? They have a few seconds of pain and they drift off to la la land and never wake up. I am pretty sure that for most of the murderers on death row, this is a hell of a lot more humane then how they took the lives of their victims.

We have established that the Constitution does not protect against pain, only against inflicting cruel and unusual punishment. Once pain is out of the equation we have the injection of drugs. We give needles every day and we inject medications every day. The people to whom we do this have not been convicted of anything so they are not being punished. No, we do this because it is the common way of giving certain kinds of medication and of starting IVs and drawing blood. Therefore, it is neither cruel nor is it unusual.

Judge Burge has this entirely wrong but being wrong about the Constitution should not surprise anyone when one views the picture of the judge. The judge looks like Satan without the horns and the wall behind him has a picture of Ernesto “Che” Guevara an Argentine Marxist revolutionary who was a brutal killer and who has become the icon for leftist movements. On the wall next to Che is a picture of Barack Hopey Obama. This is the second published photo I have seen where an Obambi supporter placed it next to Che which seems to be the common thread among his supporters. One was at an Obama campaign office and now this one in the judge’s office. [The picture can be viewed at the linked source]

To Socialists (Marxism is a form of Socialism) like Burge, Che, and Obama, the Constitution is a living document that can be bent and reshaped to fit just about any need. They have no concern for the basis of the law or the idea that the Constitution lays out a solid foundation rather than a flexible platform. They do not concern themselves with these things because they know that they can bend and shape the Constitution to fit their whims, like not executing someone because of a little pain. I guess he found pain in the Constitution where the SCOTUS found abortion.

Speaking of abortion, ever notice how so many leftist twits will work their butts off to keep a convicted murderer from being executed but will do anything they can to help murder unborn children? An unborn child feels pain but that does not stop the left from worshiping abortion in the church of liberalism. They take great pride in allowing a doctor to snip open a kid’s head and suck his brains out just seconds before he is born. Obama even agrees with allowing them to be born and then left alone so they can die, simply because their mothers did not want them.

The world would be a better place if these liberals had been aborted by their mothers.
