Wise Words from Two Ex-Leftists, Part 2

Here's part 2, with the hard truth at the end.

Wise Words from Two Ex-Leftists, Part 1

Watch very closely these two videos (both in this post and the next)  of David Horowitz and Pat Caddell.  They've both been left-wing activists and see very clearly what the left is doing to this country, to Christianity and civilization.  Note carefully what they have to say about "environmentalism", "social justice", etc.  Note the roles that Alinsky, ACORN, Soros et al have played in the background (of couse, with ACORN, that also means Catholic dollars). Pay very close attention to the second video, particularly towards the end and what Caddell has to say.  He's right.  We as Christians and conservatives are much too concerned about being the "nice guys" and avoiding conflict.  That's probably why the Republican party has well earned the moniker "Stupid Party", why too many prolifers wince at the usage of realistic depictions of abortion and why we don't hear of the realities of sin, judgment and hell from the pulpit.  Here goes:





You may well need to watch these several times to understand what these men have witnessed first-hand.

Obama Honoree Says "God Should Repent"

You read that correctly!  On June 17th, 2009, the Messiah Most Miserable presented to Frank Kameny, a gay activist, the official White House pen after enacting an executive order to give domestic benefits to some federal employees.  A week later, Obama told him, "we're proud of you, Frank".

Kameny wrote in a letter to Peter LaBarbera of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality, "Your God is clearly a sinful homophobic bigot...Your God is a sinner."  The link above can take you to the entire diatribe.

Of course Mr Kameny has it precisely ass-backwards.  He, like all of us, will one day stand before God's judgment throne, where "every knee shall bow".  If he hasn't repented of his arrogance and blasphemy by then, what will be his eternal fate?  Let us pray that Kameny, and all who wallow in gross sin, be moved to repentance before it's too late.

Only within the past week did I install that counter to November of 2012.  You just read another reason why we look forward to that day, and to next November as well.  However, I'm sure other reasons will make their prsence known in the meantime.

Miep Gies - Requiescat in Pace

Miep Gies, the last of the Gentile protectors of Anne Frank and her family, passed away today at the age of 100 years.  She was the secretary of Otto Frank who helped hide him and his family in some unused rooms of the business office.  Later, when the Gestapo took away the family, it was Mrs. Gies who found and hid Anne's diary.  When Otto returned from concentration camp (the lone survivor of the hidden Jewish group) after the war, she gave to Otto his daughter's diary.  Here is a video of her relating that scene (turn on the captions to get the English translation).



She, her husband and some others were true heros who did not seek accolades for the aid they extended.  Oh, by the way - Mrs. Gies was Roman Catholic.  God rest her soul.

Holy Father Puts Environmentalism in Perspective

This post from England's Society for the Protection of the Unborn Child expounds upon an address given by His Holiness today.  He reminded his audience that human welfare is the purpose of environmental concerns as he said, "If we wish to build true peace, how can we separate, or even set at odds, the protection of the environment and the protection of human life, including the life of the unborn? It is in man’s respect for himself that his sense of responsibility for creation is shown. As Saint Thomas Aquinas has taught, man represents all that is most noble in the universe (cf. Summa Theologiae, I, q. 29, a. 3)."  He is obviously pointing to the inherent contradictions of those who espouse "concern for the earth" while blithely advocating for the slaughter of the pinnacle of God's creation.

I've encountered such dichotomy.  Once an animal-rights actvist came to my door to solicit donatons.  I asked him what his position was on abortion.  He replied that the reduction of the human population was "the only chance that other species would have to survive."  After I explained why I would not give one red cent in brief but blunt terms, I closed my door.

Last summer we read how Warren Hern, a late-term abortionist, referred to man as a "malignant eco-tumor" destroying the earth, which he calls the "host organism".  Naturally he's working feverishly to ensure that such destruction doesn't occur (while swelling his pockets with blood money). 

The pantheistic roots of this mental slop are obvious.  At any rate, we are the true stewards of God's creation who worship the Creator and protect His littlest creations.

Obamascare Hell Bill Set to Music

I hope some governmental trolls who search for "fishy things" take a close look at this and understand why they might want to update their resumes (not to say that governmental bureaucrat jobs are at all resume enhancers).   Here's hoping that the backlash will go all the way down into local levels (that means, you Montgomery County Council members and some in Baltimore City).



For added measure, here's another one to contemplate!

Update on Diocese of Evreux

I reported this past Monday on the situation in the French Diocese of Evreux.  My friends at Fratres have an update and it is good news indeed!  The nuncio to France, Archbishop Luigi Ventura (just recently appointed by Pope Benedict XVI) has apparently instructed Bishop Nourrichard to back off and let the good Father Michel function in his parish in peace. 

This situation has drawn much international interest and I would think this bodes well worldwide.  Some of my fellow bloggers have closed with "Deo Gratias".  Amen to that, but I'll also add "Merci Deu"!

Why Is A Pederast Bishop Being Honored?

I agree with my friens at Catholic Citizens of Illinois that it is an utter travesty that the Cathedral of St. John is honoring former Archbishop Rembert Weakland by featuring a bronze statue of him along with various Saints as though he's a protector of children.  According to this report, nothing could be further from the truth - per Weakland's own written memoirs!

This is nothing less than a slap in the face, a spit in the eye, salt in the wounds of every boy who has been harmed either by Weakland himself or by the priests for whom he covered up.  Can you just imagine the human carnage wrecked by these predators, not only upon the boys but upon their families and those who did come to their defense?

Scroll down the CCI link to get contact information for Archbishop Listecki and ask how on earth he could let such mockery continue.  He can stop it.

Montgomery County Council - Testimony From Painful Experience

Some of the more heartbreaking testimonies were from those women who had abortions and wished that they had encountered a crisis pregancy center before their most tragic decisions. 

Please listen to this clip.  First you'll hear Dr. Jennifer Todd speak in support of the strangulation bill.  You'll hear her repeat incessantly how much harm "barriers" can do to women who need medical (not prenatal!) care.  The implication, of course, is that the information offered by the pregnancy centers constitutes "barriers" to the women, if not the very presence of the centers themselves.

After Todd, you'll hear Maria Brazda (pictured above) share her sad story and how she wishes there was such a "barrier" in her life thirty years ago, a "barrier" that might have shown her another way than the abortion that she had.  You'll also hear how she treasured her time as a volunteer at Shady Grove Pregnancy Center, and her high regard for its director, Jackie Stippich.  She makes a point of relating how the women who had come to Shady Grove from Planned Parenthood reported that they were given no information at the Planned Parenthood regarding fetal development.  Ms. Brazda decided herself to go to a NARAL office nearby to ask them if they relayed any details about fetal development.  When she asked the question, she was immediately escorted out the door; it seems that she was physically thrown out.  So much for "compassionate care" on the part of abortion providers! 

Now mind you, the same folks who seemed to have bodily evicted Ms Brazda from their office have deemed over half of the Council members as "partners of choice!"  Isn't that just - well - special??

Abortion-Breast Cancer Link Verified Yet Again!

Dr. Louise Brinton, the U.S. National Cancer Institute whose 2003 workshop opined that "abortion is not associated with breast cancer risk" has reversed her position.  She has so stated in an April 2009 study of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.  More detals can be found here while the study abstract can be found here.

All throughout the December 1st Council hearings, the pro-abortion proponents of the cpc strangulation bill bloviated about how the pregnancy centers were spreading "false information" about increased breast cancer risks.  One of them had the laughable chutzpah to cite National Abortion Federation as a supposedly unbiased source of information.  It now turns out that Dr. Brinton et al are corroborating the information being presented by the pregnancy centers.  It now turns out that the abortion centers are the ones who may well be promulgating incorrect information about the abortion/breast cancer relationship.  However, if they dared to tell the truth about that, they'd stand to lose abortion revenues, wouldn't they?  But isn't that what this attempt to stifle pregnancy centers is about?   The protection of the abortionists' money flow at the expense of women and babies?
