Illinois Catholic Prayer Breakfast Disinvites Stupak from Event

Yesterday I alerted you to a planned honoring of Bart Stupak by the above-named organization.  I went to their website and was happy to see that they have rescinded their invitation to Bart Stupak. 

Their contact information is on that webpage.  Please thank them for their actions.  I truly hope that such measures will cause the Stupaks and Keehans of the Church to take serious stock of their current directions and to stop capitulating to powers-that-be (see the Real Catholic video below).

Bart Stupak to Be Honored at Illinois Catholic Breakfast?

The Illinois Catholic Prayer Breakfast is scheduled for Friday, April 30th.  Bart Stupak is slated to be the keynote speaker.  Read the details here.  As was the case with the John Carroll Society, we believe this arrangement was made long before the Hell Bill vote on March 21, when Bart Stupak betrayed his faith, his constituents and the unborn babies to lead his contingent to put the Hell Bill over the number it needed for passage.

Again, it is up to us, the laity, to inform the Illinois Catholic Prayer Breakfast that they should cancel Bart Stupak's appearance.  He no longer deserves to be celebrated at any Catholic function.  Contact information for the Illinois Catholic Prayer Breakfast is in the article.  Again, please be very polite and informative in your approach.

Planned Parenthood is Correct - For A Change

To what do we owe that startling headline at the top?  Well, it seems that Planned Parenthood's president, Cecile Richards, is gloating in victory after the signing of the Hell Care Bill.  She pointed out that the executive order (for which Bart Stupak sold his soul) is merely a "symbolic gesture".

On that point, Richards is 100% correct.  That executive order is worth nothing, as it must yield to laws passed by Congress.

UPDATE!  We see from the Washington Times that the Messiah Most Miserable will sign that "executive order" after all.  However, it will be done in private, with no fanfare or gloating.  I wonder why?  Either he's afraid of NARAL, or he doesn't want the world to see that this order is probably written on toilet paper.

Representative Randy Neugebauer on Hannity's Show

Hear Mr. Neugebauer in his own words.



Mr. Neugebauer, you are spot-on correct!
Now watch this as he rebukes Pelosi, the Queen of Botox, on the House floor.

Kudos for Neugebauer, Bronx Cheers for Stupak

Rep. Randy Neugebauer cried out "baby-killer" to describe what the Hell Bill is, as Stupak was trying to justifiy his cowardice.  Later, Stupak had the gall to say that Neugebaur "tarnished" the reputation of the House.

Mr. Stupak has it precisely ass-backwards.  It is he, and his cohort, who are the "tarnish" on the House.

Obama Signs Hell Bill, And....

Remember this much ballyhooed "executive order" for which Bart Stupak et al sold their souls?  Well, Lifenews has broken the scoop and we relay the message now to you.  Yes, you will be shocked - just shocked! - to hear that Obama did not sign that executive order!   Gasp!!!

But - not to worry!  We hear from Kathleen So-bilious that "clearly he intends to keep his word."  Well that is reassuring, because we know that Obama always keeps his word - you know, like posting bills on line, no partisanship, no lobbyists in his government, etc.

Naturally she couldn't tell us just when he plans to sign it.  It really doesn't matter anyway, since such executive orders aren't more than smoke and mirrors.  They are immediately subordinated to statutory law.

A Brief Analysis of the Hell Care Vote/Debacle

First, here's the role call of the vote on HR 3590. http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2010/roll165.xml

Second, Bart Stupak and company played traitors to the unborn babies.  There is no sugar-coating it.  The "executive order" farce is precisely that; anyone with the slightest knowledge of the US Constitution understands this.  Watch this from Real Catholic TV.



Phyllis Schafly put it well in her press release of yesterday when she said, "Any formerly pro-life Democrat who casts a 'Yes' vote for this Senate health care bill tonight will be forever remembered as being among the deciding votes which facilitated the largest expansion of abortion services since Roe v. Wade.  Mr. Stupak and his Democrat followers have now clarified that you cannot be pro-life and be a Democrat." 

I'm now believing, that in addtion to "pro-life Democrat" being an oxymoron, so is the phrase "Catholic Democrat".

By the way, see Jill Stanek's blog about some grants that are slated for three Michigan airports.  Stupak's office announced this just last Friday!  But of course, this is just coincidence...right??

Bishops to Directly Lobby for the Hell Bill??

Today's Politico tells us that "The Roman Catholic bishops signaled Thursday that if agreement is reached with House leaders on anti-abortion language, the church would work to get the votes needed to protect the provisions in the Senate — and thereby advance the shared goal with Democrats of health care reform."  Further on down the article, we read, "In November, the bishops drove a tough bargain, winning an amendment by Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) that would severely restrict the ability of even private companies to provide abortion coverage under new state insurance exchanges....the bishops moved forcefully to squelch Republican efforts to derail the Stupak amendment."

"Tough bargain"?!!?!  Where are the results now of that "tough bargain"?  Moreover, in the Senate, it was not those "mean-spirited", "party-of-no" Republicans that derailed the Stupak amendment.  It was the Democrats.  Truth be told, though, the Stupak Amendment wasn't worth beans in terms of trying to put lipstick on the rattlesnake called the "health bill".

Now the bishops want to do that again?  How does that saying go, "Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me."  Now pardon me if this seems cynical, but I'm not sure who's trying to fool whom!  On the surface, it would appear that the USCCB wonks are really the lovable but hopelessly naive dolts - or are they merely playing the dunces?  Given what we've learned of the socialistic proclivities of those in high places of the USCCB, I think they're dumb as foxes - and ravenous ones at that!

The Unabashed Socialists Controlling the Catholic Bishops (another understanding of "USCCB") want this Hell Bill to pass, anti-life provisions and all.  Have you noticed that there is not the slightest peep about the myriad threats to life for the infirm and elderly?  That's because they're using abortion as a red herring, a diversion.

One of my colleagues in the Catholic Media Coaltion suggested that maybe we need to contact our bishops - much like we contact our elected officials - and tell them to stop their nefarious push for the Hell Bill!!

By the way!  The bishops worked in November to get the Hell Bill through last November.  Do you recall hearing Pelosi, Reid, Biden et al squawk about "separation of Church and State"?  Neither do I!

Nelson/Hatch/Casey Amendment Killed. So What???

I am truly baffled by the crying, whining, kvetching and moaning about these so-called "pro-life amendments."  This Senate amendment, and the Stupak amendment are really nothing more than opiates tossed to us in an attempt to fool us into thinking that the Obama Death Care bill is not so bad after all.  It is truly galling to think that if the Stupak Amendment hadn't passed, then the whole damned thing might have gone down in flames where it belongs.

Of course, the USCCB (Undercover Socialists Cleverly Camouflaged as Bishops) would be breathlessly panting after these amendments, as too many of them really do think that government is the answer to everything (subsidiarity, anyone?).  But why are so many pro-life groups guzzling that koolaid?

I for one thank God Almighty that the charade is over.  We need to get on with our real job of making sure that the Obama Death Care Bill is defeated in its entirety.

US Bishops Still Seduced by Obamacare

The Nov 12th issue of the Catholic Standard, on page 5, reprints an article from the so-called "Catholic News Service." It's entitled "Successful Inclusion of Abortion Ban Spells Sucess for Health Bill." Click on the link and read the thing in its entirety, nauseating though it may be. I no longer believe that the USCCB et al are simply naive. They cannot be that stupid. They truly are fixated upon establishing socialism in this country (and the rest of the world, of course).

The article lauds the inclusion of the Stupak/Pitts Amendment that was intended to bar federal funds from paying for abortion, making note that if this amendment weren't included, then the USCCB would have opposed it. Well, that's nice. However, since this amendment is included - for now - does that mean that the USCCB is behind this bill? It would seem so, for reasons that I'll explain a little later.

The article ends with a quote from Patrick Whelan, president of Catholic Democrats, "This reform represents progress in helping our nation to realize the Gospel imperative of making health and healing available to all Americans." Catholic Democrats! I wonder if Pope Nazi Pelosi herself is a card-carrying member of that cabal! Unfortunately Mr. Whelan is betraying his own unfortuate propensity towards letting his socialistic aspirations blind him to the reality of the machinations of the pro-abortion cabal in Congress. This Stupak/Pitts Amendment is simply a treat that disguises the arsenic of Obamacare.

Mr Whelan also advises all to follow the example of Anh "Joseph" Cao of Louisiana, the lone Republican to vote for the Obama-mess. We read in that same article that Cao is a Catholic - and a former Jesuit! Well, shades of Robert Drinan! Why, oh why, does this revelation about Mr. Cao not surprise me a bit? Mr. RINO Cao needs to receive his pink slip in 2010.

Here's why I opine that the USCCB is behind this bill. News is now coming from several sources that the bishops were VERY influential in Pelosi's decision to allow the Stupak Amendment to be brought to the floor last Saturday. Again from Catholic News Service, we read that Cardinal Francis George of Chicago, president of the USCCB, praised the passage of the bill last Saturday in the House. The article revealed that "Cardinal George had been among those in contact with members of Congress as they moved toward a vote on the legislation; for instance, he urged Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Nov. 6 to allow Stupak's amendment to come to the floor for a vote." Well, Cardinal George is from Chicago; he must have learned a few political tricks there.

Another bishop involved in the wheeling-and-dealing is none other than Cardinal McCarrick, former DC archbishop. We learn from Catholic Culture that Pelosi called him - not the other way around! Now what is that about???

Ladies and gentlemen, I've said it before and I'll say it again (in concert with many truly pro-life organizations and people). The Stupak/Pitts Amendment is not a victory for us. It is a doggie bone, perhaps even a narcotic to keep some naive folks mollified into swallowing socialistic poison. The very concept of socialized anything is inherently anti-life, as it cedes to civil government authority that is not rightly within the purview of the government. In this case with Obama-death-care, the feds will be given the authority who receives care and who doesn't: in other words, life-and-death authority over innocent people.

We need to disregard the seriously misguided promptings of the USCCB and the Catholic Democrats, and shove this Obama-mess down to hell from which it spawned.
