Barack Obama 'Savages' Catholic Education
American Thinker ^ | 06/20/2013 | Jeannie DeAngelis

Posted on 06/20/2013 7:50:13 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

It's already been firmly established that if a person, group or ideology disagrees with Barack Obama, he becomes fixated on them and then, any opportunity he gets, he makes provocative comments that could be interpreted as a warning shot. The message? Barack Obama doesn't forget ideological unfaithfulness, and if he can, he'll shut you up by shutting you down.

The president has imposed his bad attitude on, to name but a few: Conservatives, specifically of the tea party brand, right-leaning talk radio, Fox News, and the group the left views as the seat of pro-life advocacy, the Catholic Church.

Catholicism is a prime target because it's an autonomous, self-governing entity that continues to insist on having the freedom to exercise the First Amendment right to freedom of religion, and has defied the administration by refusing to submit to Obamacare contraceptive and abortion directives.

So while in Northern Ireland for the G8 summit, Obama didn't waste the opportunity to taunt Catholics worldwide by saying inflammatory things to schoolchildren. Despite the fact that just days prior, Vatican Prefect Archbishop Gerhard Müller told Scots that Catholic education is "a critical component of the Church," Barack Obama, speaking to an audience of about 2,000 students at Belfast's Waterfront hall, made what was described as "an alarming call for an end to Catholic education," saying:

"If towns remain divided-if Catholics have their schools and buildings and Protestants have theirs, if we can't see ourselves in one another and fear or resentment are allowed to harden-that too encourages division and discourages cooperation.'

It's hard to recall, but when the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner was in Indonesia, Cairo or Turkey, did he also suggest to Muslims that schooling children in madrassas "encourages division and discourages cooperation?"

The Catholic Church stood after WWII, brought down Communism in the 1990’s and will stand up to that little fraudster fag calling himself pres. I draw the line at my Faith. I understand Belfast.

too bad it's morally wrong to pray for bad things to happen to bad people.

how does that song go: Hey M-Fer leave my Church alone...”

There’s been plenty of verbal rebuke. But that only goes so far and is getting old. The Bishops need to get hardcore with these heretics in politics.

Accepting exit polls as gospel exposes your ignorance.

I would agree with you if only your assertion were correct. Less than a minute's effort on your part would inform you of my opinion of polls.

On this topic, at least, my ignorance is not the cause of our disagreement.

But they are not. Perhaps someone needs to get hardcore with the heretics in the Church.

There is a passage in Psalm 109, verse 11. It got famous a few years back:

“Psalm 109

Prayer for Vindication and Vengeance

To the leader. Of David. A Psalm.

1 Do not be silent, O God of my praise.
2 For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me,
speaking against me with lying tongues.
3 They beset me with words of hate,
and attack me without cause.
4 In return for my love they accuse me,
even while I make prayer for them.[a]
5 So they reward me evil for good,
and hatred for my love.
6 They say,[b] “Appoint a wicked man against him;
let an accuser stand on his right.
7 When he is tried, let him be found guilty;
let his prayer be counted as sin.
8 May his days be few;
may another seize his position.
9 May his children be orphans,
and his wife a widow.
10 May his children wander about and beg;
may they be driven out of[c] the ruins they inhabit.
11 May the creditor seize all that he has;
may strangers plunder the fruits of his toil.
12 May there be no one to do him a kindness,
nor anyone to pity his orphaned children.
13 May his posterity be cut off;
may his name be blotted out in the second generation.
14 May the iniquity of his father[d] be remembered before the Lord,
and do not let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Let them be before the Lord continually,
and may his[e] memory be cut off from the earth.
16 For he did not remember to show kindness,
but pursued the poor and needy
and the brokenhearted to their death.
17 He loved to curse; let curses come on him.
He did not like blessing; may it be far from him.
18 He clothed himself with cursing as his coat,
may it soak into his body like water,
like oil into his bones.
19 May it be like a garment that he wraps around himself,
like a belt that he wears every day.”
20 May that be the reward of my accusers from the Lord,
of those who speak evil against my life.
21 But you, O Lord my Lord,
act on my behalf for your name’s sake;
because your steadfast love is good, deliver me.
22 For I am poor and needy,
and my heart is pierced within me.
23 I am gone like a shadow at evening;
I am shaken off like a locust.
24 My knees are weak through fasting;
my body has become gaunt.
25 I am an object of scorn to my accusers;
when they see me, they shake their heads.
26 Help me, O Lord my God!
Save me according to your steadfast love.
27 Let them know that this is your hand;
you, O Lord, have done it.
28 Let them curse, but you will bless.
Let my assailants be put to shame;[f] may your servant be glad.
29 May my accusers be clothed with dishonor;
may they be wrapped in their own shame as in a mantle.
30 With my mouth I will give great thanks to the Lord;
I will praise him in the midst of the throng.
31 For he stands at the right hand of the needy,
to save them from those who would condemn them to death.”

That’s what you get when you elect a narcissist with what is now obviously, a paranoid personality disorder. (A person who must have complete control, is superior coupled with a sense that others are plotting against him). Lenin in the making......

Have you read the Psalms?

without rebuke. Never let the facts get in the way of your version of the truth. Open Letter to Nancy Pelosi 26 US Bishops Have Rebuked Pelosi…So Far Nancy Pelosi’s Bishop Admonishers Her on Abortion, Eleanor Clift Strikes Back Pope Benedict strongly rebukes Pelosi over abortion

Your habit of insulting me isn't bolstering your case any more than your argument is.

Are you satisfied with "strongly rebuking" al quaeda?

Your ignorance is indeed the foundation of the disagreement.

If someone from Pew approached Soetoro and asked him if he is an Amercian and he said yes, you'd accept the answer as gospel.

Pointing out that you don't know what you're talking about isn't an insult.

Continue the tap dance as you dig that hole you're in.

without rebuke.

You emote, you don't think and if you don't want to be exposed as being full of s*** then don't publicly expose the fact that you're full of s***.

discourages cooperation

That's the Marxist's biggest gripe. Opposition to his evil.

Let’s go back a short distance into recent history, only about 3 or 4 months. A young female Army officer was sent out with a “civil rights” presentation for Army reservists that equated all Catholics, most Protestant Evangelicals, and observant Orthodox Jews with Mudslime terrorists. When the regime was called on this abomination, they promptly threw the young lady under the bus, contending she concocted the presentation entirely on her own and that higher authority didn’t have anything to do with it. Now we pretty well know, that just as with the IRS, the impetus for that vile attack on Judeo-Christian religion came from the Mudslime in Chief, the Illegal himself.
