Planned Parenthood's funds are drying up. Thus, they are calling upon the Messiah Most Miserable to pull out all stops. Thus he's pulling thug tactics ranging from suing elderly pro-life activists to threatening to shut down governmental services to keep dollars flowing to the PP baby-killing machine.

Announcing... THE EVENT!!!!! (trumpets and drums, please)
First, thanks to Acts of the Apostacy.
That is what it's called, thanks (?) to the "Climate Reality Project" (using the term "reality" loosely, of course). The Event is also known as "24 Hours of Reality" - dedicated to broadcasting thepropaganda reality of (what else?) climate change! Apparently Al Gore is going to be presenting a multi-media message to all the world once every hour during this "24 hours".
"And just how will thisfertilizer fertile message spread?", you breathlessly ask. Ah, that's where you and your naivte are supposed to step up to the plate! Yes, you are being called upon - particularly if you have Facebook and/or Twitter accounts! It is your solemn duty, as good little envirowhacko dupes, to donate access to your social network accounts during those 24 hours! Hurry! Hurry! You must save the planet! Sign up immediately! Don't worry about access to your accounts afterwards when Mother Gaia Earth depends on you!
Acts of the Apostacy believes that thousands have already swallowed the "environmentally-friendly" koolaid on this. If he's right, that means that thousands lack an iota of common sense. Well, Al Gore, you aren't getting my accounts! And no, I will NOT buy any "carbon offsets" for my refusal to spread your crap!

More "Civility" From The Progressives And Their Union Rotweillers
Jimmy Hoffa Jr made quite the fool of himself as he warmed up the crowd in Detroit last week for Obama. Not to be outdone, the Messiah Most Miserable proceeded to make a colossal ass of himself, but that was this morning's post.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Tea Party is having a measurable impact. Else, these barbarians wouldn't be losing their marbles and going ballistic in public. A few weeks ago, I posted Maxine Walters doing the same thing. Please review that, and then go to that link of the SEIU debacle of last spring.
Michelle Malkin, in honor of Labor Day, compiled quite an anthology of union thugs behaving as oafs and morons and yes, as lawless felons.
Now will someone - puleezz! - tell me why the USCCB, Just Faith, etc insist on singing the praises of these reincarnations of the gangs of Al Capone? Or do we already know the none-too-pretty answer to that?

Dang That Messianic Teleprompter!!
When the Messianic Teleprompter bombs, it bombs! Or was that just a freudian slip that he made in Detroit? Listen closely, particularly at the 28-second mark!

A Democrat Candidate For President To Challenge Obama
So much attention has been focused on the different Republicans running that most folks assumed that Obama was not going to be opposed by any other Democrat. Not so, it seems!
Obama's first-announced rival for the Democratic nomination is Harry Braun of Texas. He has filed his candidacy papers, according to his website. Take a look at it.
There are a number of progressives who seem to think that Obama isn't ruining the country quickly enough to suit them. Mr. Braun seems to be of that ilk. I will say one thing for him, though. He is correct in acknowleding that the United States of America is not a pure democracy. He states that the USA is a republic, but even there his definition is lacking. We are a constitutional republic, governed by rule of law as set forth in the United States Constitution. He wants to obliterate that and reduce us to mob rule - something which the Founding Fathers feared (perhaps even then they could see the nightmare of the French revolution and subsequent Reign of Terror on the horizon).
As one can see, he is of the "evil, industrialized man is destroying Mother Earth" brainwashed cabal. His lack of scientific knowledge (not to mention any common sense of decency) was revealed in this statement, breath-taking for both its arrogance and ignorance, made recently at the Iowa State Fair, "Are you going to go and have your blood checked to see how many poisons you have in it or do you want a child like Trig who is never going to grow up?” He's referring, of course, to Sarah Palin's son who has Down Syndrome. Sane people realize that Down Syndrome has its basis in a specific genetic anomaly and not in "poisons in the blood".
By the way - why can't these progressives leave that little boy alone? Do they resent him so much for actually being born and for showing one and all that he (and all Down children) are human and thus deserve to live? Braun's rantings are proof that radical environmentalism is, at its roots, anti-human-life.
As this man travels about, we can expect more "precious pearls of wisdom" (or whatever) to spew forth from his mouth. At least he doesn't appear to be tethered to a teleprompter!
So when will the Democratic Candidates' Debate be held? Will the DNC allow it to be televised, or will they be too afraid that their candidate-offerings will make fools of themselves and a laughingstock of the Democrat Party?

Do Maryland DREAM Act Suporters Intend To Profane The Mass?
On July 21st, I posted about an announced campaign by the Maryland bishops for a "sabbath push" with the stated purpose of "devoting a weekend in September to teaching their congregations about the faith-based reasons to work for its passage", "it" of course being the DREAM Act. On that same post, I mentioned a few reasons why a faithful Catholic could, in good conscience, oppose the DREAM Act.
This "sabbath push" is supposed to be in September - this month. Obviously they would not have planned it for this weekend, since so many are away for the holiday. However, this "push" could happen any weekend from now. So how do they plan to accomplish this "sabbath push"?
According to the General Instructions of the Roman Missal (GIRM), the homily is "a living commentary on the word", that is, on the Scripture passages of the day. The homily is also legitimately used to expound upon Church teaching, that is, faith and morals. These are articles in which all Catholics must believe. However, there can be legitimate differences of opinion on how to implement due respect for all of God's people. The DREAM act contatins many areas of legitimate differences as this act impacts many people and not just immigrants here illegally. Therefore, I believe it would be downright unethical for the DREAM Act supporters in Maryland's three chanceries to use the Sunday homily as a "bully pulpit" to insinuate that their particular opinion on the DREAM Act constitutes "the Church's position".
Let me state this further. I believe such use of the Sunday pulpit would constitute liturgical abuse and profanation of Holy Mass to espouse an agenda that is purely political. Yes, yes, I know that statement is hurled at us all the time when the issues are abortion and gay marriage, but abortion and gay marriage are intrinisic evils. About these there can be no morally licit "differences of opinion".
I have not heard of specific plans for this "sabbath push". However, if we Catholics are forced to be "captive audiences" to propaganda-speeches, there will be protests. To those in the chanceries who read this blog (and you do!): I beg you not to profane the Mass in this manner.

How Planned Parenthood Dodges Govt Funding Restrictions
As you watch this, bear in mind that CCHD-funded progressive groups can - and do - pull the same budgetary tricks. That is why we insist that no Catholic money be given to organizations with questionable partnerships with harmful organizations.

Will The GOP Ever Learn That Morality Takes Precedence Over Economy?
Yes, I must rebuke the GOP now - and by the way, that includes Rush Limbaugh! Today on his 3-hour program, he had this to say. I quote from his transcript and will highlight the erroneous part.
"There is a news report from the Washington Post today, and I want to warn you, this report is intended to sabotage the Republican presidential campaign. John Boehner said yesterday that there is a triple threat that exists to this country, three items that the Republicans need to stay focused on and nothing else. The triple threat is higher taxes, more stimulus spending, and federal regulations. All three undermine the creation of jobs. If you remember Ronaldus Magnus had a three-legged school. Three issues. You remember what they were, Snerdley? Defeat communism, rebuild the military, lower taxes. Those were the three things. And he never lost focus of them. Three things constantly discussed, makes it simple, doesn't complicate things. The left would love for the Tea Party to get distracted, start talking about immigration, abortion, gay marriage, all this other stuff, because right now the chief vulnerability faced by Obama and the Democrats is the economy."
So you see that Limbaugh is agreeing with Boehner's attempt to repeat a tired, old practice of shunting the core moral principles of this country off to the sidelines. When I say "core moral principles", that also includes the 4000 babies that are being murdered every day via abortion in the USA alone. It almost seems like Limbaugh is forgetting that silly talk such as what he uttered this afternoon is precisely why the Tea Party is frosted at the RINO establishment. In fact, the Tea Party arose because good, decent people are tired of the RINO establishment being willing to compromise core principles for economic advantage. Let's try to consider that "taxes, spending and regulations" are not threats to the unborn children, as the children are murdered long before they are able to confront them!
Let me make this very clear to the RINO and "GOP establishment" moles who are reading this. The GOP nominee to the presidency MUST have a clear-cut plan to end the scourge of abortion, to re-establish the primacy of marriage between one man and one woman, to restore respect for the role of the family in society. Moreover, these matters MUST be made priority over and beyond economic issues. Boehner, Limbaugh et al forget that we were founded as a nation under God. Since Limbaugh is so fond of quoting Ronald Reagan, here's a quote to ponder: "If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under." And this is what Limbaugh dismisses as "all this other stuff"?
Please notice the use of the word "must" in bold font. There is a reason for that. I wish to emphasize to my RINO readers that unless the GOP nominee does indeed deem these matters to be "top priority", he/she will not be able to count on the support of social conservatives (particularly pro-life people) and many of the Tea Party. Should there be a third candidate who will espouse those "MUST" matters, he/she will receive a large percentage of our support. No more can you take the support of social conservatives for granted, only to have our concerns - and by extension the unborn children - shoved on the back burner. We know that our God will not be mocked in that manner anymore. Haven't we learned that yet? To coin a phrase from the Clinton campaign of the recent past..

Catholic Standard's Fluffy-Puff Piece On Hilda Solis - A Gross Disservice To All Concerned
It's on page 10 of today's paper edition of the Catholic Standard and online here. Current Labor Secretary Hilda Solis claims that "her parents' example of faith and hard work shapes her public service". She has an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe in her office, along with a Crucifix and other religious decorations. In addition to the example of her parents, she also cites Caear Chavez and Frances Perkins (Secretary of Labor under FDR).
The article mentions that she was a congresswoman from California and that while serving in that capacity she attended Mass at St Joseph Church on Capitol Hill. The Standard mentions nothing more of her career as a congresswoman or the positions she espoused and votes she cast. The Catholic Standard excels at lobbing "soft-ball questions" at those to whom the chancery and USCCB would kiss up, but I digress! The fact is, while she claims that her faith motivates her, her voting record tells a different story. The following is some research that the Catholic Standard should have done -assuming it takes its journalistic responsibilities seriously.
Now think. She's a Democratic congresswoman from California. Knowing that, her voting record on abortion, as reported by On The Issues, reveals Ms Solis to be another flaming pro-abortion supporter. To wit:
Moreover, in 2004 she was one of several CINO pro-abortion congresspeople who sent a letter to Cardinal McCarrick almost insisting that he not deny them Holy Communion because they promote abortion. Women for Faith and Family has that letter archived on their site. It did originally appear on the official website of Rosa DeLauro but that has since been taken down. I do have two side comments to make about that letter:
One wonders just what favor the chancery might be trying to curry from Ms. Solis. Else, why would the Standard content itself with such a simplistic, shallow piece of happy-pap-crap in place of a news article. In just 30 minutes I did research that the Standard should have done. I now report it, but the Standard should have done so too - if it's interested in being a real journalistic enterprise. My fellow blogger reported last week that big changes were afoot at the Standard. Now all can see yet another piece of evidence why I look askance at these changes.

- She voted repeatedly to support embryonic stem cell research.
- Like her boss, she voted against the Partial Birth Abortion Ban.
- She voted for all manners of abortion funding.
- She was endorsed by Emily's List and has a 100% rating from NARAL.
Moreover, in 2004 she was one of several CINO pro-abortion congresspeople who sent a letter to Cardinal McCarrick almost insisting that he not deny them Holy Communion because they promote abortion.

I do have two side comments to make about that letter:
- By now they must realize that they need not have bothered to write that letter, as His Eminence never did have any intention of obeying Canon 915, as subsequent behavior has so amply demonstrated.
- Look down the list of signers. In light of the Obamacare passage of March 2010, does one name stand out? Bart Stupak! He never was "pro-life". Don't the events of March 2010 make sense now?

Lunch Is On The House!!
When some people say it - they mean it! Case in point?
That would be US Representative Laura Richardson (D-CA). The Washington Times reported last week that her local office hosted a "briefing" for 1,000 senior citizens, paid from her congressional office fund. The Times reported the elaborate menu, with "singing and dancing" reported. The office funds are not to be used for social events.
This is not the first such alleged abuse by Rep Richardson. Two months ago, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington asked the FBI to investigate her use of her office staff for campaigning functions.
Such is the arrogance of the progressives (and yes, the majority of these are by and large Democrats). They seek to pick our pockets via taxes, self-righteously claiming that they know better what to do with our money than do we. Now we see what they mean. They have the complicity and cooperation of their partners who run that bureaucratic machine known as the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. I hope this piece, and the Times article, sheds much needed light on these cockroaches.
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you just how much that little "briefing lunch" cost us. Sit down. They shelled out of taxpayer funds, $20,000.00! Let me spell that out, just to make sure there is no confusion with all those zeros. That is Twenty Thousand Dollars! Isn't that just....special???
