Just more WHITE CATHOLIC GUILT.
It’s a mortal sin for any Catholic to vote for the extreme pro-abortionist, Barack Obama.
I’ll repeat that every day from now until Election Day, so maybe some Catholics will “get it.”
Under America's current abortion law, far more babies have been murdered than terrorists have been interrogated. I can understand a lot of things, but someone who cares more about the treatment of terror suspects than the treatment of babies who are unfortunate enough to have mothers who want them killed is beyond my understanding. I don't even see him advocating for painless abortion. We would not be allowed to kill dogs or cats by dismemberment or saline poisoning.
“screw the babies, I want a check from the govt!”
comes reasonably close to embodying an alternative way to be pro-life.
I’d like for the learned professor to explain to me how consistantly voting in favor of dealth, Obama is reasonable close to the Catholic pro-life view? Is killing an unborn child the alternative to life? Well, I guess that does make sense ...
Is it possible to be seriously pro-life and vote for any Democrat?
Is it possible to be seriously Catholic and vote for any Democrat?
What do Catholics hope to gain from voting for Hussein?
They should all take a short trip to Muslim countries and observe how Christians are persecuted. Catholics who vote for Hussein are particularly stupid and should not come back but stay in those countries.
The Catholic Church is going to be a big factor for McCain.Clinton got a majority of Catholics both times,Obama will not.At 9am mass today,our priest came out against abortion and euthanasia.He also downgraded candidates that try to use slick language to obscure their positions on life in debates.
All other important questions revolve around "issues," but the difference between liberty and tyranny revolve around the question of whether life and liberty are gifts from a Creator or whether they are grants, or permissions, from other human beings.
Creator-endowed right to life and liberty is the foundation upon which this nation was founded.
If a nation devalues that concept, basing an individual's right to life and liberty on judicial fiat and a woman or girl's decision, then where is the security for liberty for any?
The elephant in the room in this election is the Radical Left's absolute determination that it, alone, will decide who sits on the Supreme Court of the United States! They talk about "change," they talk about war, they talk about everything else, but the "elephant" is the question of the unfettered right of a woman to destroy her unborn child. They can call it "privacy rights," "reproductive rights, or the "right of a woman to choose," but one can see from their hatred of Palin that the so-called "right to choose," is only valid if the woman's choice is to permit taking the life of the unborn. To the Left, this is a declared war on all opposition.
Yes, it is time for John McCain to take off the gloves on exposing the real culprits in the government who forced banks to make risky loans to unqualified people, but for the sake of liberty for generations yet unborn, it is far more important that he clarify the importance of life, and the threat to liberty if Obama carries out the Left's agenda. Soft pedaling this issue, as if it is just a personal preference, overlooks a far more significant principle.
"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them."- Thomas Jefferson
"The world is different now. . . . And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forefathers fought are still at issue around the globe--the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God."- JFK, Inaugural 1961
The problem with religion is that it doesn’t change the heart of man within. An individual who has undergone a spiritual transformation (new birth), would never vote for someone like Obama who sanctions the murder of both the born and unborn, not to mention his support for the homosexual agenda. Religion destroys and corrupts, being truly born again changes the heart from within and causes decisions to be made on biblical absolutes, rather than what a man thinks, feels, or wants. Jesus Christ would never vote for a left wing nutcase such as Barak Hussein Obama. No one who has followed the biblical mandate to “put on the mind of Christ,” would vote for him either.
Obama Catholics cannot rationalize their support for a politician who favors infanticide. There is no way to sugar coat it.
Keep talking George. Maybe their ears will be opened to the truth.
Snob-ama is the anti-Christ. Anyone who votes for it will likely be damned. It is an open question whether or not one will be able to repent of the crime.
Also you cannot be a sincere pro-lifer and vote for Obama. If you think you are both you are living a lie.
what a contradiction in terms
If they don't change their ways they face more than criticism. Try telling God those 50 million kids mattered less than some gubmint gimme program.
