More On Obama's Disregard Of Consciences Of Citizens

The total disregard for the citizens of good people by the imperious regime of the Messiah Most Miserable has caused even some otherwise-liberal establishments to scratch their heads.  The Washington Post, in a recent editorial, made their concerns and displeasure known.  I congratulate them and encourage them to continue their scrutiny of the one whom hitherto they placed on a pedestal.

On the other hand, Terry O'Neill, NOW president, scoffs at the idea of Catholic institutions having a conscience.  As you examine her screed carefully, she seems to think that just because the Church refuses to kiss up to the feminist agenda (is she still smarting from the recent Supreme Court ruling?), they don't have conscience.  This coming from an organization that has adopted as a main raison-d'etre the facilitation of brutal murders of babies!  If any organization is unacquainted with a corporate conscience, that would be NOW.

Not to worry, though!  We decent people consider the scorn of progressive organizations like NOW to be badges of honor.  That is why I for one feel badly for the orthodox Jews, evangelicals and others who likewise decry the violations of their consciences visited upon us by the Messiah Most Miserable and Kathleen Sebelius, a chief Minion Most Mindless.  Ms. O'Neill really should examine her ways and engage in "equal opportunity" sneering.  Why let us Catholics have all the fun?

Trachtenberg Coming Under Increased Scrutiny

On September 18th I reported that Montgomery County Councilperson Duchy Tractenberg went down in the primary in her bid to retain her Council seat.   At the time, there were allegations of mismangement of NOW funds while she was Montgomery County NOW's treasurer.  Now the Montgomery County chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police is calling on state and county officials to investigate these allegations.  I am receiving word of this from Lifesite News.  I also link to this Montgomery Gazette article.

As I mentioned before, Trachenberg has been an absolute menace to unborn babies and tradtional families in Montgomery County.  So has NOW.  I have no dog in this fight between Trachtenberg and NOW.  I am glad that the world can now get a glimpse into the moral vacuity of those who promote baby-murder and sexual perversion.

Tebow Ad - Silly NOW Reactions

I don't watch TV, so I didn't see the ad until now.  Here it is.



We all know the snit-fits that the pro-abortion crowd had regarding the airing of this ad (see the "raging grannies" in an earlier post).  It turns out the word "abortion" wasn't even mentioned (to the consternation of some more curmudgeonly pro-lifers).  I surmise that Pam's reference to "almost losing him" referred to a partially detached placenta.

As you can see, the ad shows an obviously-faked tackle.  Leave it to NOW to try to ascribe nefarious motives to that.  Terry O'Neill, NOW president, sniffed that the ad "glorifies violence against women."  This is a charge so ridiculous that even O'Neill's fellow pro-abortion advocate, Frances Kissling of (so-called) Catholics for Choice infamy had to contradict her.

Here's a little history lesson, particularly for us Montgomery County types.  Before O'Neiil was NOW president, guess who her boss was?  Remember?  She was an assistant to Duchy Tractenberg, a former NOW official herself.  It's amazing, the nonsense that spews forth from Montgomery County.

Protect Montgomery County Pregnancy Centers! Act Now!

Our efforts to save the pregnancy centers of Montgomery County MD from a draconian attack by pro-abortion members of the County Council are underway.  We will need the fullest participation and cooperation possible from every pro-life person in order to succeed.

The text of the bill has been updated slightly, so please read this; of course we would expect amendments throughout the process.   The Maryland Citizens for Responsible Government, who led last year's fight against granting special rights to "transgendered" individuals, has developed an excellent, two-sided flyer that you can use to educate your friends about this imporant matter.  Download it, print it, email it to your contact list, distribute it - just get the word out.

Let's not put our heads in the sand when it comes to stating quite plainly that the Montgomery County Council is composed of rabid pro-abortion afficiandos.  Maryland NARAL conducts its annual fundraiser in October in Rockville.  In its 2009 List of Sponsors, five of the nine councilmembers are listed; see for yourselves (by the way - Ike Leggett is there, too).   Duchy Trachtenberg, who introduced the bill, is up to her eyeballs in her entanglements with the National Organization of Women (NOW).  This past June, Terry O'Neill, Tractenberg's Chief of Staff, was elected national president of NOW  Upon her election, O'Neill did resign her position with Trachtenberg.  By the way - while O'Neill apparently saw a contradiction in occupying both positions, such compunctions didn't seem to bother Trachtenberg - at least if I read this NOW webpage correctly.  It states that in January 2007, Trachtenberg was both the at-large Councilperson AND president of Maryland NOW!  We now examine this article, written by Dana Beyer, a current staff member of Trachtenberg's; in it, Dr Beyer denigrates good people (us) who dared to exercise our rights as citizens to combat the transgender-rights bill.  It looks like I learned something new.  Whereas I was quite aware of Beyer's affiliation with Equality Maryland, I was unaware, until a few minutes ago, that the good doctor was "Maryland NOW Action Vice President."  Like I said, the entanglements are many and dense.

I could go on and on, but I think we can see that most of the council has vested interests in seeing this bill passed.  Their duplicity is plain.  Even the Washington Post, a newspaper that can usually be counted upon to jump on the pro-abortion bandwagon, took issue with this bill and made plain its opinion that it should be defeated.  The Post takes issue with the inherent duplicity of the bill when it writes, "the proposed disclosure is too cryptic to be an effective alarm bell for many women and yet is suspect because it singles out pregnancy centers while absolving abortion clinics of any disclosure requirements regarding adoption or parenting options."  They've got that right!

Again, please distribute that flyer.  Contact the council (we'd suggest doing so by addressing Phil Andrews, the Council president; all communications to him will be diseminated to the other councilmembers).  Attend the hearings on December 1st; and consider testifying.  Write letters to the editors of newspapers.  And above all, please pray!  We'll keep you posted.

Pelosi Barely Ramrods Death Bill Through the House

As you may have heard by now, HR 3962 was passed by the House late last night by a very slim margin. The Stupak/Pitts Amendment passed earlier that evening by a respectable margin. But let's make no mistake about this. The Stupak Amendment is at best a stale doggie-bone. Make no mistake about it. IF this bill makes it through the Senate and then through reconciliation, abortion funding will be restored.

Why do I say that? Because the pro-aborts don't like the Stupak/Pitts Amendment. Planned Parenthood is now on record as opposing HR 3962. NARAL is having a similar snit-fit. Get this strange statement by Nancy Keenan, NARAL president: "This vote is a reminder to America's pro-choice majority that, despite our gains in the last two election cycles, anti-choice members of Congress still outnumber our pro-choice allies." Well, I sure wish she was right on this, because if she were, HR 3962 would have gone down in flames a long time ago. Not to be outdone by her colleagues, NOW president Terry O'Neill sniffs that, "The House of Representatives has dealt the worst blow to women's fundamental right to self-determination in order to buy a few votes for reform of the profit-driven health insurance industry."

My! Don't these feminazis have a flair for statements long on drama and short on substance? They (and we) know full well that abortion funding will be returned. For thus have these slave-drivers ordered! Make no mistake about this. Obama, Pelosi and Reid are (behind closed doors) saying to these broads, "Yessuh, Massah!" as they click their heals together Nazi-style and go do their bidding.

We will have our work cut out for us. I was at the rally at which Steve King and Michelle Bachmann spoke yesterday. I'd say a good 500 folks were there: not bad for less than 48 hours notice. We've got to keep up the momentum as the focus now shifts to the Senate. I think we can take some encouragement at the slim margin by which the bill passed. Clearly the mystique of the Messiah Most Miserable is wearing thin.
