Thanks to Obama.

This whole sham effort by “pro-life Democrats” is a sucker punch.

They know they are bleeding support and they are losing on the abortion question. This is a fact.

It’s also a fact that the power brokers in the Democratic Party are never going to allow the pro-life voice to have any influence at all.

It’s also a fact that they’re not stupid on how to play the politics of abortion.

So they need to be seen as “widening their tent” to tolerate pro-life voices so they can say how “draconian” and “close minded” the Republicans are.

In other words they’ve initiated this “useful idiot” campaign to make people who are naturally inclined to the Democratic Party feel better that they’re “accepted” in the Party.

It’s a way of getting their vote and that’s it.  And it might be enough to sway people back who have seen what the Democratic Party really has become: a shill for Planned Parenthood.

Politics is a sucker’s game.

Anything less than a firm determination to sacrifice for one’s values will not survive the homosexual onslaught.

Those nations that resist Sodom’s advance will be blessed by God.

….It appears that Obama and his team misunderstood American Catholics, and indeed the public more broadly. I think it comes down to a misunderstanding of how Americans live out their “cafeteria Catholicism” in practice: Sure, they reserve the right to disobey Church teachings — but they acknowledge the right of the bishops to define the teachings that they are disobeying. We might put it this way: They do not take kindly to being bullied by bishops, but — and here’s the shock to the Obamaites — they also don’t much like it when bishops are bullied by someone else. Nobody likes a bully, and Obama showed himself to be one in this controversy….(Source)

The Messiah miscalculated on this one, big time.  Now he’s put his next term on the line, instead of being smart and pulling this stunt after the election. Now there is the potential for a “religious war” of sorts in the election.

Bad move, Barry.  You’ve awakened something that really is way, way above your pay-grade.

The Buffoon Apostate.

Hey, Obama! You’re so darn smart! You’re so smart that you ignored the consummate political wisdom of the Left and the Right: avoid going directly after the Catholic Church because if you do, you will pay the price. That’s why your liberal predecessors stuck to the issues instead of attacking the Catholic Church head-on.

But because you want to play, you’re going to have to play with opponents you would otherwise not expect to show up.

Catholic Chaplain pulling no punches.  In future, I don’t see him or any faithful Catholic priest being invited to Government prayer functions.

And frankly, that’s the way it should be in this culture of death.

We’re not your religious lap-dogs, mouthing feel-good, cumbaya platitudes.  We’re here to deliver the straight goods.

…The Habsburg Empire for which Grandpa Santorum fought is dust, and, according to the Vienna Institute of Demography, by mid-century a majority of Austrians under the age of 15 will be Muslim. As I wrote here last year: Salzburg, 1938 — singing nuns, Julie Andrews, “How do you solve a problem like Maria?” Salzburg 2038 — How do you solve a problem like sharia?

…

Our fiscal crisis is not some unfortunate bookkeeping accident that a bit of recalibration by a savvy technocrat can fix. In the United States as in Greece, it is a reflection of the character of a people. The problem isn’t that Rick Santorum’s weird, but that a government of record-breaking brokeness already busting through its newest debt-ceiling increase even as it announces bazillions in new spending is entirely normal.

Exactly.  What’s fair is foul and what’s foul is fair.

H/T Concerned for Life

Our God is simply amazing, but in some respects predictable.  He’s predictable because as the bible teaches us, He is not confined to the boxes we operate in or even in the boundaries that He has set in place, like the sacraments, for instance, or the Christians outside of the formal boundaries of the Catholic Church.  His Spirit and Grace moves where it wills.

After 40 years of the hierarchy of the Catholic Church refusing to teach on contraception in any meaningful way or even Judasizing us on this question, God has finally had enough of our Church leadership inaction.  If the bishops don’t want to get serious about contraception on their own, then God is going to use Obama to kick-start them into sobriety.  Yes, that’s right.  In His inscrutable ways, He’s used the wickedness and snares of the devil (as the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel goes) to turn the situation around.

Homeschoolers. No wonder the State hates them. They’re the real free thinkers. Free of the State. Free to think outside of Obama and the Socialist box.
