I don't write about the ramblings of Michael Sean Winters at the National Catholic Reporter too often because he, they, are terribly boring. Terribly.
But this paragraph really caught my eye because it is indicative of the mental and moral backflips that these people will do to justify their support of those who support the culture of death.
Mr. Winters has figured out why Mr. Obama is so virulently anti-life, why he has supported infanticide, why he lied and entrenched abortion and contraception as government handouts, why he will make Christians support abortion. See all these things that Obama supports are not his fault. Whose fault then? The Bishops of course.
The Bishops were so mean to Obama he basically had no choice to turn all the wheels of government into baby killing machines.
Hassan discounts Obama’s rhetoric about finding common ground to lower the abortion rate, which was on frequent display in 2008, and again at his commencement address at Notre Dame. Instead of taking up the President's offer to seek common ground,, many bishops talked about the President like he was a dog at the time of that Notre Dame speech, so perhaps he can be forgiven for thinking the pro-life community was not interested in finding common ground and, concluded, he had better abandon the search for common ground and double down with abortion supporters. Politically, this turned out to be the correct decision. At the time of the HHS mandate controversy, Democrats effectively talked about a “war on women,” which wasn’t true, but a lack of truthfulness rarely diminishes the power of a phrase to whip up the base. For example, President Obama is not, in any meaningful sense, engaged in a “war on religion” either, but that phrase was used to whip up the base on the other side of the political ledger too. But, how will we ever affect a change in the politics of this issue if we bite any out-stretched hand?Sorry MSW, anybody who could write that paragraph is not pro-life and they are not Catholic. Such sentiments can only be expressed by partisan hacks and willful enablers of the party of death. That's you Mikey, a willful enabler of the party of death.
Barry is simply a Commie that hates the traditional American way of life.
LOL Common ground? The Rats poisoned what little there was years ago.
“...perhaps he can be forgiven for thinking the pro-life community was not interested in finding common ground and, concluded, he had better abandon the search for common ground and double down with abortion supporters.”
The whole premise a lie from the beginning. There is NO common ground with abortionists.
There can be no common ground when one side is antithetical to life.
The “common ground” is a tactic straight out of Hegelian dialectic.
Dialogue and consensus building leading to a synthesis which always becomes the worst solution compromising ethics, morals and freedom.
There is no compromise with God and His church.
STill here a-lookin’ fer that there COMMON GROUND between live babies, and dead (murdered) babies.........
Lookin’ here................
Looking there....................
.............still lookin’.
I said this back in 2007. Obama is so hyper-abortion because it is a form of jihad.
Muslims don’t have abortions, but the more you can get your enemy to kill their offspring...
Common Ground on Abortion: We’ll only kill the baby a little bit...
Common Ground on Gun Control: We will take away your rights incrementally
Common Ground on Taxes: We will limit government’s total share of your income to less than 75%.
There is no common ground with these people. They want what they want, and any compromising will be done by you. And then they will turn around and demand more.
What some people are saying is let the liberals keep aborting — they will be so surprised when New York, Chicago and other large metro areas only have grown - up conservative babies in them!
The other side — usually the Bishops stand for the support of life from the womb to the tomb — and Obama doesn’t like that antagonism. He wan’t to kill off the conservatives, but it’s not happening — thanks to Pope Benedict and now Pope Francis who are appointing conservative and orthodox Bishops.
I would love to view this landscape in twenty years.
