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.

He refused to listen to pro-life [...]

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.
A [...]
Today (Dec 8) commemorates the Immaculate Conception – the Catholic teaching that Mary was conceived without original sin. This often begs the question: If Mary is without sin, is Christ the Savior of His Mother Mary? The Catholic Church answers, “Yes, Christ is the Savior of His Mother Mary.”

CHICAGO – The presiding bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is suggesting that the Bible isn’t the last word on homosexuality.
In a town hall meeting Sunday, Bishop Mark Hanson said, “the understanding we have of homosexuality today does not seem to be reflected at all in the context of the biblical writers.” Therefore, [...]
The abortion industry took to Capitol Hill today to rally the troops to make sure that the government funds abortion in healthcare. St. Michael Society editors infiltrated the Stop Stupak rally and got to hear and see first hand what the pro-abortion side is up to.
Between bashing the Stupak and Hyde amendment and literally [...]
A recent study has found that getting married and having children increase happiness and overall life satisfaction. Commenting on the results, author and TV personality Rachel Campos-Duffy told CNA that this runs counter to the prevailing culture and “reminds couples to appreciate each other and the beautiful messiness of child-rearing right here and now.”

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, [...]
