CCHD Continues To Fund Radical Groups, Protestations Notwithstanding

On September 15th, the USCCB released a statement outlining the reputed "review and renewal" of the CCHD, given the glaring light of truth that we and many others shone on it to expose its harmful grantee practices.  You can read it here.  On page 2, it showcases some of what they would have us believe are worthy recipients of Catholic dollars.  The first one listed is called the Coaltion of Immokalee Workers.

The Reform CCHD Now Coalition (of which we are members) issued a press release today revealing the radical pro-abortion and pro-gay ties that this CIW group has.  The RCN coalition developed a report that goes into extensive detail about the matter.

When their very first showcased donee is exposed as a snake in the grass, we have reason to believe that the CCHD is either:

• not being completely honest with the Church at large regarding their intentions for donation dollars, or
• hopelessly naive in believing the words of malevolent grant applicants

Given the unarguably jaded history of its foundation, I regretably hold to the first option.  I urge a complete boycott of the November 21st collection.  Moreover, I now call for the complete abolition of the CCHD.

Perils Of Global Warming / Climate Change

Ladies and gentlemen, I really must apologize.  As you know, I've poked fun at the concept of global warming and climate change.  Little did I realize the real calamities that will ensue of these menaces go unchecked.  What an education the video below provides!  Listed below are just a few of the earth-shattering dangers of global-warming - climate change!

Thanks For The Memories (?) Pelosi

Hopefully we never forget the role she had in the debacle we must now unravel.  Thanks to Right Change for putting this out.  Click here if you can't see embedded video.

Messiah Most Miserable May "Order" Catholic Hospitals To Murder Babies

Thanks to Pewsitter and Catholic Culture for this alert.  The ACLU (Awful Crappy Libertines Union) has requested that the Obama administration mandate "emergency abortions" at Catholic hospitals.  Naturally the Mindless Minions of His Misery are considering it!  I suppose now that they were royally trounced in Tuesday's elections, they now feel the need to get some revenge.  Is that ever so possible?  Why else would they feel the need to bully the hospitals into violating their mandates and identities?  Are the consciences of the progressives that stung and seared that this is the only way they think they can assuage their ire?  It won't work, guys!

I remember years ago when the City of New York tried to force that mandate upon the Catholic hospitals there.  Fortunately, John Cardinal O'Connor was at the helm.  He made it clear that if push came to shove, that he would immediately shut down the Catholic hospitals.  The craven cowards running the city had the good sense to reconsider.  Will today's Catholic hierarchy have the same kind of spine that Cardinal O'Connor had?

Thank God For Gridlock!

For years now, the mainstream mindless media have accused conservatives in Congress of "gridlock" and "obstruction" with the same derision as one might use when talking of mass-murder or terrorist bombing.  But are "gridlock" and "obstruction" really all that "bad"?  Leaving aside all knee-jerk emotions that the libs want us to feel, I think we have to say "that depends".  On what?  Well, on the anticipated condition or event that is the target of such action. 

Sometimes "gridlock" and "obstruction" can be the only things that stand between us and certain destruction.  This is the case now.  While conservatives will hold the majority in the House starting January, there are still two months between now and then.  Pope Pelosi will be swinging that gavel with a vengeance since she'll soon lose it.  They will try to ramrod more onorous legislation through during this lame-duck session.  This legislaton will most likely be worthy targets of much-needed "gridlock" and "obstruction".  So bring it on!

The conservatives did not win control of the Senate, but they did net a significant gain.  That brings us to yet another word that the conservative senators must learn to live and love - "filibuster"!  They must be relentless about employing that tool when disgusting progressive nominations to judicial seats or other offices are placed before them.

The Creative Minority Report posted a piece called "I'm A Pro-Gridlock American."  Let's all wear that title with pride, and hold our newly-elected conservatives' feet to the fire to be "pro-gridlock" as well.

Yesterday's Election Results

Their real
state of mind!

Ladies and gentlemen, there is much turmoil today in the liberal/democrat/progressive/anti-life community.  It can be seen in these pictures.
On a more serious note, I saw the following on a fellow blogger's post - "The Dream - Realized".  I submitted the following comment to that post.

Hand over that gavel, Nancy!

While yesterday's elections are a first step, they are only a first step.  Much work remains ahead of us.  This is no time to break out the champaigne.  We must be relentless about the institution of the Catholic culture of life and not pause for one iota of one second.  "Realized" - NOT!  Let's purge that language from our lexicon and not break our stride.

I hope and pray that those who played roles in yesterday's turnouts do not now go home and sit on their laurels.  I know that Thanksgiving and Christmas aren't that far away, but let that not be an excuse for any one of us to lose focus or relax our efforts and resolve.

If You Don't Bother To Vote, And To Vote For Life And Family...

The below may well depict the result of any such negligence.  Do you want that on your conscience?

Vote tomorrow as though your very life and eternal salvation may depend on it - it may!

The Feast Of All Saints Day

How crowded was Mass today?  Probably the attendance was sparse.  That's because the bishops didn't want us to be "inconvenienced" by being obliged to go to Mass two days in a row.  Horrors!  We can't have such imposition now, can we?  It's more of what I can only call the deliberated dumbing down of Catholicism and depreciation of our Catholic identity, graces and heritage.  Michael Voris sums it up nicely.  Click here if you can't see the embedded video.

Poor Little Planned Parenthood!!

They just seem to be getting themselves into all sorts of jams lately.  On Jill Stanek's blog, we see where Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains' student group, Advocates for Choice, tried to debate Personhood USA.  The topic was the Colorado Amendment 62.  The debate was recorded and excerpts were posted to youtube. 

Well, it seems that the Advocates for Choice are trying to get youtube to pull them down.  As you listen to the longer version posted on the eternity impact blog, you can understand why.  The pro-aborts are clearly making buffoons of themselves.  Several times you can hear them utter stuff to the effect of  "we're ignoring a big part of the issue when we think of the fetuses (9:06)", "it's a mater of beliefs, opinion..we're not going to try to use science (10:02)".  In other words, they want to ignore facts and go on mere sentiment and whims to try to deceive themselves that tiny babies just aren't real and don't deserve protection.

Moving south a bit to Arizona, and again thanks to Jill for pointing this out, we see that Planned Parenthood of Arizona is taking umbrage at yet another impediment to the "right to choose".  And what is the nature of this horrid attack on the right to engage in child murder?  Well, a ten-year-old law can now be enforced that allows only doctors to do abortions.  Imagine that!  Limiting the practice of surgery to only licensed MDs!  Who'da thunk it?  Prior to that, all sorts of folks were doing them: nurse practitioners, physician assistants, midwives, etc.  Heck, who'd be surprised if the night-time janitor wasn't doing them for that emergency evening request?  So much for the "safe" part of "safe and legal" - not when there's blood money to be had!

Your pro-life votes tomorrow will help continue to clip the wings of the Planned Parenthood vultures.
