It is good to be reminded that, unfortunately, most politicians – while they seem like nice, honest people – are actually big fat two-faced lying hypocrites. And I mean that in a nice way. But this is ridiculous. And it happens too much on both sides of the aisle.
For a little context (if you’re not up on current politics), the Democrats have been threatening for the past year now to use the “nuclear option” (reconciliation) in the Senate to pass their health care legislation. Here’s a little not-so-ancient history for you regarding what they thought when the shoe was on the other foot: [Keep Reading]
President Obama has continually told us that the health care legislation will not federally fund/subsidize abortion. Not only that, but he has repeatedly criticized others as “bearing false witness” and spreading misinformation when they insisted he wasn’t telling the truth.
It has been quite clear that any of the serious legislation in congress up to this point has in fact covered federally funded abortions. And not just the status quo provided for in the Hyde Amendment – but it has pushed the abortion agenda aggressively further.
Up until now, Obama may have been able to technically hide behind the fact that all of the legislation in congress wasn’t “his plan”. [Keep Reading]
Lisa Hendey had a really neat idea this year with a Catholic spin-off of Barabara Walter’s 10 Most fascinating people of the year. Her top 10 list has some really amazing (and fascinating) Catholics on it.

The Abortion president strikes again:
The $1.1 trillion spending bill the Senate passed yesterday includes major increases in funding for abortions.
The bill, which was sent to President Obama’s desk, reverses the Dornan Amendment, a 13-year-old ban on direct funding of abortions in the District of Columbia.
The bill, passed on a 57-35 mostly party-line vote, also appropriates [...]
Oh. Em. Gee.
If healthcare reform covers Viagra, it should cover abortion services, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said yesterday.[...]
“The men who have brought us this don’t single out a procedure that’s used by a man, or a drug that is used by a man, that involves his reproductive health care and say they have to get [...]
These are the US Senators (listed below) who voted last night (Dec 8th) against the Nelson/Hatch/Casey amendment to the Health Care legislation. This is the amendment that would have essentially kept the health care reform efforts “abortion neutral” and applied the current law – Hyde amendment restrictions – to the Health Care reform bill.

CHICAGO – The presiding bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is suggesting that the Bible isn’t the last word on homosexuality.

The Washington DC City Council is about to impose homosexual ‘marriage’ on the city. Of course, that causes a conflict with those who recognize marriage as it has always been…as something entirely different.
The Catholic Archdiocese of Washington, which provides many social services in DC, has told the council it will stand by its faith, [...]
