One statement of the rule: "...it is lawful to tolerate a lesser moral evil in order to avoid a greater evil or in order to promote a greater good, [but] it is never lawful, even for the gravest reasons, to do evil that good may come of it."
Humanae Vitae
Paul VI
I know that as a (Christian) though not -Catholic, I could not support Rudy (probably wouldn't vote for Him, or MCCainiac, and DEFINATELY not Romney (Snake)~! I certainly (even if I did "suck it up") wouldn't "work hard" for them!
Peace in the world,do I win.Do you ever answer questions and you never mentioned JR so you didn't have to ping him to answer your question . You know my question.
SHUCKS; if the REPUBLICAN Nominee ticks off both the gunnies and lifers, he is doomed in the heartland..IMO.
Very interesting.
Then where would this leave the crowd that states it's okay by them to see (and I quote) "the spawn of Satan" elected rather than vote for Rudy Giuliani?
I guess they argue that there's no difference between Rudy and the spawn of Satan?
Is it fundamentally possible for there to be "no difference" between two candidates and the respective administrations they would put in place?
I wouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. But that is not relevant in the case of Rudy Giuliani. There is only a sliver of the good in him and I expect that the war will be better left to the Democrats. When we get hit again for the third or fourth time the Democrat, especially if it is Mrs. Bill, will lash out explosively and will end the Jihad for this century. A Republican will be forever hampered with a congress that prefers suicide and national destruction to winning a war with a Republican president. The most forthright and militant Defender of the Nation, if he be Republican, will not be able to do a thing constructive after 2008 with the war. My only hope now for the 2008 election is that Bush takes care of Iran in the next few months. We do not have to invade. We need to destroy the modern military capability of Iran and the refineries and much of the modern infrastructure, seize the offshore and maybe some of the onshore oil wells, and render ports and airports unusable. There should be no HeartsandMinds crap, no rebuilding. It does not matter that the Iranian population may be proAmerican- that will change when the real war comes and it will come, whether now when we can do it relatively cheaply or later when it will be much more expensive and damaging to the homeland, our homeland.
Thank you. Your point about his speech at CPAC is an excellent one in particular. I hope that Hunter gets greater exposure. At this point in the current field of candidates it is key that he does especially at the level of grassroots contact of one's friends and Republican neighbors.
Personally I see him as a loser on the national front
yeah, but don't you think there are Many Roman Catholics (as well as evangelicals) that don't take their political views "becuase the Church told them so", but take their views becuase their FAITH leads them to these decisions, we are not all followers of Man, some are followers of God, and their beliefs dictate their actions!
Your behavior is reprehensible. Stop it.
Fatima is badgering me to "answer a question" and yet refuses to state what the question is. How is that reprehensible?
Good post! Thank you!
Good night.
thank you arthurus.
As for the "sugar britches" line it was a good natured joke that ended with a smile. I'm very sorry you have no sense of humor.
The other part was in response to being badgered to answer a question when none was posed. Again I ask how I am to answer a person who is demanding that I answer a question THAT THEY DID NOT ASK?
I haven't seen you on these pages for a while. Nice, very nice, to have now.
I have an excellent sense of humor. Have a good night.
