Nancy Pelosi: Lousy Catholic, Lousy Congresswoman

The Archbishop of San Francisco takes House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to task, and says that as a member of the Catholic Faith, she should start practicing what the church preaches.

I’m not a practicing Catholic, (although I am far from being an atheist) and I have to admit that what Archbishop Niederauer says are tenets anyone would do well to follow.

Ms. Pelosi however, like most liberals, doesn’t let the rules of her religion influence her actions.
After all, there are times when she’s right, and God is wrong.
Such as the issue of abortion.

In a recent interview with Eleanor Clift in Newsweek magazine (Dec. 21, 2009), House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was asked about her disagreements with the United States Catholic bishops concerning Church teaching. Speaker Pelosi replied, in part: “I practically mourn this difference of opinion because I feel what I was raised to believe is consistent with what I profess, and that we are all endowed with a free will and a responsibility to answer for our actions. And that women should have the opportunity to exercise their free will.”

Embodied in that statement are some fundamental misconceptions about Catholic teaching on human freedom. These misconceptions are widespread both within the Catholic community and beyond. For this reason I believe it is important for me as Archbishop of San Francisco to make clear what the Catholic Church teaches about free will, conscience, and moral choice.

Catholic teaching on free will recognizes that God has given men and women the capacity to choose good or evil in their lives. The bishops at the Second Vatican Council declared that the human person, endowed with freedom, is “an outstanding manifestation of the divine image.” (Gaudium et Spes, No. 17) As the parable of the Grand Inquisitor in Dostoevsky’s novel, The Brothers Karamazov, makes so beautifully clear, God did not want humanity to be mere automatons, but to have the dignity of freedom, even recognizing that with that freedom comes the cost of many evil choices.

Forget Swine Flu, We Need A Vaccine For Liberalism

Seriously.

We have a vaccine for swine flu because we know the effects.

How is it that medical research can’t develop a vaccine to prevent people from developing amnesia, and for their thinking to become so twisted that they start to believe that up is down, and for some things failing to register in their minds at all?

One of our recent articles asked the question “Who is more legitimate, Fox News or the White House?

This led one reader to leave a response to the points we raised, which once again displayed all of the symptoms of this disease that we outlined above.

One of the things this person said was that the media did fact-check George Bush, but that it happened 8 years too late.

No doubt this person was dragging out the tired old argument that “George Bush got us into a war in Iraq under false pretenses,There were never any WMD’s.”

This is where the amnesia part of this tragic illness makes itself known.

This poor soul obviously can’t remember such things as:

“If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction program.”
–President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

“Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face.”
–Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998

“He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983.”
–Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

“Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.”
-Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998

“Iraq’s search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power.”
– Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

“In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members … It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.”
– Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

Our respondent then went on to say:
“Fox News is the mouthpiece of the Republican Party. What they talk about is not news. If it were news, there would be measured debate, a modicum of respect….”
And a bit later threw this in:
“If we on the left had treated Bush anywhere like this, you’d be foaming at the mouth even more.”

OK, if Fox News is the mouthpiece of the Republican Party, does that make the crew at MSNBC the official spokespeople for the Democrats?

Sure, Fox News has people with opinionated shows, such as Sean Hannity, Glen Beck , etc.

And I realize that it is just another symptom of the disease this man is suffering from that leads him to believe that  commentators such as Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow never allow their own political ideology to influence their remarks.

“A modicum of respect….”
“If we on the left had treated Bush anywhere like this, you’d be foaming at the mouth even more.”

See, there’s that damn amnesia indicator again.

Sir, try and remember these:

Keith Olbermann calling George Bush the “worst person ever.”

Chris Matthews, following Bush’s farewell address, referred to the Bush Presidency as “the tragedy of the last eight years.”

How about a guest on Olbermann’s show, Janeane Garofalo, who told him that “Tea Parties are about racism, not politics.”

How much respect did you folks on the left show when one of you made the following comment:

“Republicans are shameless d**ks. No, that’s not fair,Republican politicians are shameless d**ks.

You took the author of that quote, Al Franken, and made him a United States Senator!

And you accuse those of us on the right of showing no respect?

Finally, this gentleman offered the following observation:

It has to be hard the on Obama administration to do its work when it is constantly having to deal with the lies, hyperbole, and ugly talk that is right on the edge of traitorous.

This is the part of this sickness that causes people to think backwards.

Let’s try this one at a time.

Regarding lies and hyperbole, we have said that his Cabinet contains some undesirable people.
Case in point, Timothy Geithner, who had a bit of a problem paying his income taxes.

We have mentioned the corruption of his “Czars.”
Case in point, former Czar, avowed Communist and 9-11 conspiracy nut Van Jones.
Along with Regulatory Czar Cass Sunstein, who thinks that animals should be allowed to sue humans in a court of law.
Leave us not forget Science Czar John Holdren, who advocates sterility drugs being put into public water supplies.
How about Chai Felblum, the President’s pick to serve on the EEOC, who made the statement “Gay sex is morally good.”

To all of you who stand firmly behind President and his policies, do you seriously mean to tell me that you don’t have a problem with a “Safe Schools” Czar who not only did not report a case of statutory homosexual rape to the authorities, he gave the 15 year-old young man advice on the proper way to conduct his relationship with a sexual predator?

We pointed out that the Obama Administration was attempting the freezing-out of a major news organization, and urging other media outlets to do the same.

We quoted a journalist who has never seen an administration call for a boycott of news outlet during his time of covering eight presidents.

I could go on and on, you tell me sir, where are the lies?
Read through all of our articles and point out where exactly are the lies and hyperbole.

“Ugly talk that is right on the edge of traitorous”

Are you SURE you want to go down that road?

You may want to think really hard about the words and actions of Cindy Sheehan, members of Code Pink, various members of the Democratic Party as well as the mainstream media, to name just a few.

And before you answer, you may want to give thanks that a little something that was known as the Sedition Act is no longer in effect, if it were, I would not be writing this because folks like you and the rest of your liberal allies would be in a federal prison.

Sorry my friend, but not agreeing with President Obama’s policies does not make me a traitor, any more than it makes me a Nazi or a racist.

And please don’t ask me to believe that you folks on the left treated George Bush any better than the right treats Barack Obama.

And with all of the invective that was thrown his way, I can’t seem to recall Bush ever calling for the boycott of a news organization, or attempting to ban one of it’s staffers from the White House.

However, George Bush is not the point.

The point is that you folks on the left can’t all be insane.

There has to be a few of you who take a look at something the President is proposing, an administrative appointment he makes, whatever, and stop and think about if you agree with him, not just mindlessly fall into line.

And if there aren’t at least a few of you like that, then God help us all.

Liberals Have Given So Much To America

Liberals have given a lot of things to America.

And many people are starting to realize a lot of their contributions are things no one really wants.

Maybe it was electing a man who is trying to keep his campaign promise of fundamentally changing America, maybe it is the attempted takeover of our country’s health care system, trying to pass off the largest tax increase in human history as a means of curbing global warming, it doesn’t really matter what started it.

The tide is slowly starting to turn against all of you who support liberalism.

For years, you liberal loonies have been trying to turn America into some sort of a socialist utopia, while at the same time disparaging everything that has made this country great.

And for years, those of us who are vehemently opposed to everything you stand for simply stood back and kept our mouths shut, and our thoughts to ourselves.

I am not speaking of Republican vs. Democrat politicians debating each other in the halls of Congress.

Nor am I talking about political pundits in the media hurling accusations at each other.

I’m talking about everyday patriotic Americans, of which I am proud to be numbered amongst.

The days of you kumbaya-singing, Kool-Aid drinking nitwits is fast coming to an end.

And as I said earlier, you have no one to blame but yourselves.

For years, you have whined about inequality in America, when the fact is that more people live better in this country than they do anywhere else on Earth.
Where in the hell else in the world do you see people living in “poverty” that have televisions, microwave ovens and cell phones?

Of course, many of you bleeding heart hypocrites will cry about the injustice of our having so much while the rest of the world doesn’t.

If you feel that strongly about it, them give them what you have, because the rest of us are sick to death of you hypocrites trying to make us feel guilty about the things we have worked hard for.

Speaking of giving, just what have you given back to your own country, which, despite your best efforts, is still the greatest country the world has ever known?

You spread most of your propaganda through a mainstream media that wouldn’t understand the words “unbiased journalism” if they bit them in the ass.
(And your comrades-in-arms running these outlets are too brain dead to understand why they continue to lose market share.)
(I wonder if the tingle running up Chris Matthews leg will be a problem when he’s standing in the unemployment line.)

You give us a group such as Code Pink, who try and block the entrances to military recruiting centers, and call our brave men and women serving in the military “murders.”
(Note to Medea Benjamin: My often-repeated offer still stands. Come to where I live and try it.)

If that isn’t disgusting enough, then you present us with the certifiable mental cases from the Westboro Baptist Church, who try and disrupt funeral services for military members who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
(A group of hatemongers who spend the rest of their time protesting who knows what outside of Christian churches as well as Jewish syangogues.)

Another of your gifts are traitors like Michael Newdow, who wants to bring a halt to the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools because it contains the words “under God.”
(In spite of the fact that numerous polls have shown that 92% of Americans believe in God. You other 8%, shut the hell up.)

Then we have a god you do believe in,  Michael Moore.
Another liberal slob who wouldn’t know the truth if it bit him in the ass. And his would be hard to miss.
(Someone want to break the news to Michael that if it weren’t for Capitalism, he be scrounging for doughnuts from a dumpster?)

Speaking of fat obnoxious slobs, let’s not forget Rosie O’Donnell.
Another hypocrite who at one time raised hell with Tom Selleck for being a member of the NRA.
While Rosie herself doesn’t go anywhere without armed bodyguards.
(Although I’m sure one of the guards has his holster filled with what she really wants.)
(Cupcakes.)

Many of you pray at the altar of your global-warming guru, Al Gore.
You take as gospel the climate predictions of a man with absolutely no scientific training.
(Yet none of you questions him about living in a mansion that has one of the biggest ‘carbon footprints” of any private residence in America.)

Of course, we have saved the best for last.

You elect a man who promised us the most “transparent” and “ethical” administration in history.

Who then filled his administration with tax cheats, avowed communists, 9-11 conspiracy nuts, a man who ignores a case of homosexual statutory rape, another who advocates forced sterilization, and the list goes on and on.
Someone who wants to pass health care NOW, but thinks that doing something about troops dying in Afghanistan needs further study.
If this is the fundamental CHANGE we were promised, I’ll go back to the old way, thank you very much.
(And all of you are so morally bankrupt that we can’t remark about the style of his shoes without being labeled as racists.)

It’s all been a part of the liberal culture war.

Well , we hope you enjoyed the ride while it lasted.

Because now it’s our turn.

We didn’t ask for this war, but when it comes to the hearts and minds of America, we sure as hell plan on winning it.

Conservatives for years have given things for America, we are now taking a new direction in fighting for America.

The bottom line is that what liberals have done when it comes to conservatives is best summed up in a quote attributed to a Japanese military leader.

Check back tomorrow to learn what that is.
