Politicians

Archbishop Chaput speaks and answers questions at Houston Baptist University. What a great light in the Church. It’s a bit long, but totally worth your time. And very good whether you are Catholic, Baptist or anything else.

More shameless politicians

February 24, 2010 · 5 comments

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]

The list of the 15 Catholic Senators who want you to fund abortions

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 [...]

FAIL: Rep. Kennedy publicly takes on bishop over communion

Thumbnail image for FAIL: Rep. Kennedy publicly takes on bishop over communion

My comments in blue:
U.S. Representative Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) said in an interview Sunday that Providence Bishop Thomas J. Tobin has instructed him to refrain from Communion because of his pro-abortion political position [So the bishop is doing his job and has privately reminded Kennedy that he shouldn't present himself for communion while being publicly complicit [...]

Dems still can’t choose: Abortion or Health Care

It’s sad that this is still an issue (even though it was very predictably so).  Politicians drive me nuts.  There are so many things they could do to pass aspects of this health care reform that everyone agrees on, but it is increasingly obvious that they care more about their own underlying agenda than they [...]

Will the Hyde Amendment keep abortion out of “Health Care Reform”?

It’s amazing that politicians (with President Obama leading the charge) continue to insist that these Health Care reform bills will not subsidize abortions. “They lie!”

Jimmy Fallon on Health Care Reform

I was wondering how this health care reform was going to make us healthier. I see why the Congressional Budget Office couldn’t figure it out either. They were just making it too complicated – you know, trying to read all the words and stuff.

Dems must choose Abortion agenda or Health Care

Despite not being able to pay for this monstrosity of a health care bill, the Democrats are running into a few more huge problems in trying to get their health care reform rushed through congress.

To Vote or Not to Vote? That is the question

Some comments I made on an article on Catholicism.About.com recently got the attention of the author, Scott Richert.  Scott does a great job with these blogs, so check them out sometime.
The article in question had to do with Where Faith and Politics Intersect.  If you want the details of it, just go read it.  I [...]

Catholic Faithful 65, Fr. Jenkins 0

So far 65 Bishops of the 195 U.S. Dioceses have spoken out against Fr. Jenkins’. Every single one of them were critical of Jenkins’ decision to invite Obama to Notre Dame graduation commencement and to award him with an honorary degree.  In 65 different ways they’ve basically said “this was a bad/wrong decision that [...]

When the Judges will be Judged

Obama has already given Catholics a multitude of reasons of why we clearly can not vote for him.  On top of that, one of the biggest reasons has always been his power to appoint pro-abortion Supreme Court Justices.
Justice Souter is retiring.  Obama now has his first opportunity to further corrupt an already unjust court.

Always Talk About Religion and Politics

There’s a weird understanding in our polite culture that we never discuss religion or politics. I say always discuss them.
I don’t mean like constantly talk about religion and politics. But to always make sure and talk about it. And certainly don’t never discuss religion and politics.

Is Bill Clinton serious? I’m in shock.

Bill Clinton sat down with CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta to weigh in on Obama’s support of Embryonic Stem Cell Research. At first, I was like…ohhhkay, for being a pro-abortion guy at least he recognizes that there are some ethical issues here and that we are dealing with human life. But something wasn’t making [...]
