It just amazes me how Catholic politicians could have been so obtuse about their stand on abortion. Finally, one of them got slapped by his local cardinal - welcome to probably the most embarrassing moment of Rudy Giuliani. According to AP report that I found on NewsMax.com Rudy Giuliani got a phone call (I imagine) from Eminence Cardinal Edward Egan about Rudy’s insistence to disobey an understanding that both of them had prior to Pope Benedict’s visit in US - Rudy was not to take a holly communion [as a "open unrepentant sinner"] . Rudy, probably thought, that there was still “business as usual” in his diocese, but … this could get him excommunicated in a very sudden way. He probably didn’t get the Pope’s “there-is-new-sheriff-in-town” message, about cleaning up the Lord’s house. Rudy thought (again), that “playing politics” with the Cardinal is going to be unnoticed. Well, this could create a very uncomfortable situation for the former presidential hopeful, as Holly Father’s message of Church focusing on quality and not quantity of its flock, was directed not only to the priests, but to other influential members of the Church.
Rudy, my friend, you are it!
I hope that his arrogant “No” to the question by the media about him being uncomfortable with having broken the Church ban on taking Communion by the divorced and remarried, is going other Catholics to re-examine their support on ANY Catholic politician who runs for an office in the future. Same type of arrogance is not reserved to Catholics only, other Christian denominations have their own pro-abortion politicians too.
I hope my bishop has the same type of response to another alleged Catholic - Nancy Pelosi.
It’s got to be my lucky month - I got to watch to one of my few favorite man of this world: Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. This man does not give interviews, and this one was a real treat (I’ve enjoyed it as much, as I did the one with his colleague Justice Clarance Thomas). The guy was interviewed my an old “60 Minutes” bimbo - Lasley Stahl. It is embarrassing to watch a mature woman, who is trying to make a hit piece on a man that she despises, yet she tries to by “objective”. I was truly amazed how brilliant Antonin Scalia was in dealing with this disingenuous woman:
Here is the first part of the interview:
I love the way he finished the segment:
“… Anyway, this is my view, and … it happens to be correct!”
and the second one:
Justice Scalia comes across as a confident, yet very humble human being. In this video, when asked (or rather attacked by the self proclaimed jurnalist) about his Catholicism, and a possible influence on his legal opinions, he made a very eye opening remark. He reminded his critics that philosophy of constitutional originality actually prevents him (intellecually at least) to impose prohibition of abortion in USA. Why? Because United States Constititution says NOTHING about the subject. He pointed out that the “other” site (the “evil” pro-life folks) often argues that unborn child is indeed protected by the “equal protection clause”. However, according to him, this would also be the “stretch” as the arguments of the oposing ideology. So … do liberals still want him (or Justice Clarence Thomas) to leave the court? One word of wisdom - watch what you wish for, you may get it!
I hope that CBS does not remove these two clips from their web site.
Justice Scalia more and more ventures into book writing. His latest book is coming out in few days. I can’t wait to read it.
I hate to sound like a broke record, but every time I visit YouTube.com, I get more, and more evidence of lies that Al Gore is trying to spring on the population of this planet. Him, and Jimmy Carter should be locked up in a prison for their stupidity and danger that both of them pose to America’s interest, and …. to themselves.
Here is a brief clip of a very articulate explanation of relationship between temperature and CO2 levels.
Al Gore’s dream (in addition to convince the world about his Internet “invention”) is to become the first president of the New World Government. Demonstrations by the real scientists, who dispute Al Gore’s nonsense, can only stop his kind of madness.
BTW, as I watch the former I-want-to-be-the-next-USA-President , it \is becoming more and more evident to me, that Al Gore did indeed inhale something in his early days.
United States is greeting a very spacial guest today, Pope Benedict XVI. Today is his birthday, which this nation was delighted to celebrate with the successor to the other great Pope - John Paul II. There is something about this successor to the Saint Peter, that draws millions too him.
President George W. Bush has been thrilled in being able to great the new leader of Catholic Church.
Many times, I have criticized George Bush for being to weak and to wobbly on affairs of today’s world, but today he made me proud again. As he greeted Pope Benedict XVI, he stated”
Most of all, Holy Father, you will find in America people whose hearts are open to your message of hope,…In a world where some treat life as something to be debased and discarded, we need your message that all human life is sacred, and that each of us is willed, each of us is loved, and each of us is necessary.
I believe, that the President said it just right. So, Welcome to America and Happy Birthday Holly Father!
Interesting factoid for the general public on how socialism perverts families even in a historically Catholic country like Spain.
I according to BBC article Spanish parents are getting fake divorces to get their children to … state schools.
Neo-socialist Poland also had the same issue, when the government announced that single mothers would qualify for extra 50$ amount in child subsidies not long time ago. Well, maybe the same brains should remember about the “progressive” USSR. All anti-family “programs” worked so well those days, that today’s Russia had to start a new program - institute special holidays for couples to have sex with a thought to procreate, and provide future workforce for this nation.
As BBC quotes one of the Catholic priests, who explains new “phenomena”:
“Now a marriage contract in Spain has less strength than a business contract,” says Fr Alonso.
“Couples can effectively get separated in about 24 hours.”
But he was not surprised by parents going to the extreme of divorcing to improve their child’s chance of getting a good education.
“This is happening because of a lack of freedom to choose in our education system,” he said.
“Most parents want to send their children to independent schools that are partly funded by the government and partly independently funded, many of them are run by the church. But the government isn’t facilitating an education system that provides enough of those schools.”
And as a result, the “progressives” in the socialist government of Spain accomplished one very typical for oppressive regimes result - citizens snitching on each other (can you say: “Stalinists are here!”?). Same as in former Eastern Block, now the “Old” Europe is following the suite.
As BBC continues:
Reports suggest that private investigators are seeing a rise in business from parents who want other parents checked out because they suspect them of lying about earnings, where they live, or their marital status in order to advantage their children and secure a place in the local school.
And during 2007, Andalucia’s authorities received more than 700 complaints from the public accusing parents of faking their children’s school applications.
Newt Gingrich is one of my favorite politicians. He and Ronald Reagan, both leaders, both understood how dangerous modern times became. Here is a short fragment of his speech on the Islamic fanatics, and the lack of leadership in the modern world to deal with this phenomenon.
Yes, liberals think that when the Iranian or North Korean nukes strike any of the US cities, they will only kill conservatives and Christians. Well, one reason for that is the kind of education today’s teacher’s unions give us. Here is an example of a US high school education. If you think it is funny, think again.
Did you notice, that she is the dumb one, but still takes a jab at men…
I just found great documentary on the subject of global warming. It shows how Al Gore is a fat liar, who is interested in nothing less, but a global government control over people. His hokey stick “theory” has been abolished by two scientist, who analyzed the model used in describing Al Gore’s graph. The theory was based on computer and methodology errors.
Simply said, The model that Al Gore presented and was followed by the rest of the “environmental lobby” crowed is a fraud. The scientist now KNOW that Al Gores charts, which were supposed to prove that temperatures follow the CO2 levels, kept CO2 and temperature separately on purpose, to hide that CO2 levels are not causing, but follow temperature changes.
This abolishes that “man made” global warming theory.
By the way, if Al Gore paid ANY attention during his science classes, maybe he would have learned that plants LOVE CO2. The more there is CO2, the more bio-mas we get.
You can view this one hour documentary “Global Warming or Global Governance” visiting Google videos. If you can thing for yourself, it should make you think.
US politics are getting more and more heated. Due to Rush Limbaugh’s brilliant “operation chaos”, democratic party is in a process of self-destruction. Osama, oops wrong racist Obama Husain Barack with his racist pastor Wright and Hillary with her own version of racist pastor, are exchanging personal attacks, which would normally make all republicans happy. However, the republican alternative - John McCain - causes bunch of headaches to the Republicans as well; he is a liberal and the other two socialist. So, the question to which a lot of conservatives will have to find the answer, do we really want to vote this year? American economy is going down the drain, thanks to “progressives” in both parties, and the President, who’s intelligence only very few people in this country are trying to defend (me, being one of them).
One would have to get really depressed, if it wasn’t for occasional humor that can be found on Internet:
Sad part of the above YouTube clip depicts true stories about all presented people.
Here are the option that Americans will have to pick from this November:
Osama - shit, I better learn his nameObama Husain Barack -a communist senator, who is not afraid to lie and trow his own grandmother under a bus, calling his racist pastor as his spiritual guide, and with a wife that …. REALLY scares the living lights out of me (she still is not sure, if she can be proud to be American). Barack, privileged half black/half white is trying to convince everybody, that he is not privileged citizen. According to him, giving birth to a baby is a PUNISHMENT! Now I know, why all of these liberal feminist are so pro abortion. Question remains, what do other women of America think? Do they think, that their sons and their daughters are the biggest gift and blessing, or the punishment?
Hillary Clinton - socialist senator, a feminist (wonder what she things about the “baby = punishment” dilemma), who’s real DOCUMENTED experience is being married to a male whore - Bill. She successfully (at least for a short time) managed to cover up his extramarital escapades. Her ties to communist China, her lack of self control, and constant lies are as scary as her opponent Obama.
John McCain - rino republican senator, who believes (same as Clinton’s), that the Presidency is his birth right, and he will sell his own mother to get it. He believes in global warming Kyoto rig, he is going to raise taxes (same as the other two socialists), he doesn’t believe in America becoming independent from foreign oil. His achievements? Bunch of new tax increases, double crossing his own party on many occasions (some people call him “maverick” to describe this)
So, instead of getting depressed and suicidal, I will get myself a cone of ice-cream tonight, and … watch another episode of News Busted clip.
