Catholics and the Obama Nation of Islam...

How is this commie pinko Stalinist Obamunist being accepted by Catholics?

In case visitors suspect I am harsh on him, maybe it is because I see this creature as an anti-Christ.

.................................

We understand Barack Obama’s appeal. It’s almost impossible not to like him. Like his tireless supporter Oprah Winfrey, he has an air about him that exudes candor and sincerity and real concern. And those things aren’t insignificant.

In history, the direction of America has been changed by political leaders who have strong personalities that make their mark on the country: the noble Washington, Honest Abe, the sunny Ronald Reagan.

The difference, of course, is that the political leaders who changed the direction of the culture are men who share the nation’s founding principles and stick to them.

Douglas Kmiec, a Pepperdine University professor who made his name in the Reagan administration, at the University of Notre Dame and as dean of The Catholic University of America law school, says Obama is such a person, and so is supporting him for president.

He calls him a person of “integrity, intelligence and genuine good will” who “as best as it is humanly possible” will “respect and accommodate” those who disagree with him.

But Obama doesn’t just disagree with certain opponents. His record fundamentally disagrees with the nation’s founding principles...................

Bring him down here to Virginia, or better yet Texas, his new "venue" should be somewhere that actually knows how to deal with excrement, Massachusetts will be letting him out on "weekend furloughs" in a year or two.
