Michelle Obama - "Obese Children...National Security Issue"

A week or so ago, we heard Janet Napolitano tell us that "climate change" is a national security threat.  Well, since that fad has died its quick death, we have a new security threat!  Are you biting your fingernails yet?  Well, here it is, from Mrs Messiah herself!  Click here if you can't see embedded video.



She, of course, is talking of the so-called "Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act".  She claims that obesity is a "national security threat" because supposedly recruits are coming in overweight.  Michelle, what else is new?  One of the purposes of basic training is to get the recruits in shape.  That's how it's always been - that is, until training standards were dumbed down so that women, etc could "pass".

She also claims this bill will "save lives".  My, my!  She shares her husband's messianic delusions of grandeur.  As he looks on, he must be jealous of her since she is obviously not dependent on a teleprompter - but I digress!  Now note, on the video, at the 1:40 marker, where she states "we can't just leave it up to the parents".  Oh, yes we can.  And we accomplish that by getting rid of the structures and bureaucracies that subvert and undermine parental authority and perogative in their children's lives.  Do we hear the nanny-socialist state rattling its saber here?  Watch out for the "fat police" coming our way!

To further reimforce the nanny state (to propagandize children and those of childish minds), watch this condescending tripe which was produced with your tax dollars!  Click here if you can't see embedded video. 



You did notice, of course, that there's none of that nasty red meat, right?  Well, maybe after that school subverts Elmo's parents and feeds him a politically-correct diet, they can teach him proper language skills so that the poor little thing no longer speaks of himself in the third person.

Before any snide progressives snipe at me for belittling the Obamas' "concern for children", remember that they are both rabidly pro-abortion.  Recall all that talk of "future promise" in the first video?  Well, what we see now is only 66% of the "promise" that God sent, as 1/3 of unborn children are murdered in their mothers' wombs - murders that the Obamas have worked hard to facilitate!

Muslim Girl's Guide To Losing Your Virginity?

Now didn't that pique your curiousity, if not your anger?  Doesn't that seem like quite the slap in the face to the Islamic faith?  Of course it does, and I think both liberals and conservatives would agree that such a concept is an insult to one and all.

So why, oh why, is it deemed "hilarious and invigorating" by the Falcon Theatre in Los Angeles to put on a play entitled (bet you can't guess!) "The Catholic Girl's Guide to Losing Your Virginity"?

To my west coast friends and colleagues - you've got your work cut out for you!

Catholic Church = Sole Hope Of The World

However, the Church is not living up to her responsibilities - and its shepherds, e.g., bishops, bear the main responsibility.  Many of them have stood by while heresy and corruption and immorality have wrecked havoc amongst their flocks - and some have outright facilitated the mess!  For a small sampling of the savaging that the Church undergoes today - both from within and without - just look at the two preceding posts.  This whole blog, and those listed on the right bar, also expose much that is amiss.

Wuerl: No Position On Gays In Military

According to Donald Cardinal Wuerl, the Church "has no position" on whether gays and lesbians should be allowed to serve openly in the military.  You can watch the Fox News interview here.

What??!?!?!  If the Church can have a "position" on nonsense such as the DREAM act (and thank the Good Lord that it fizzled), how on earth could it not have a position on that question?  Mind you, the question is about whether or not gays should be allowed to serve openly, that is to flout their mortally-sinful lifestyles.  And the Church supposedly has no position on that?

Cardinal Wuerl's "hands-off" attitude was not shared by Archbishop Timothy Broglio of the Archdiocese for the Military Service.  This past June, he urged Congress not to repeal the DADT policy.  He stated quite clearly - and correctly - that "Sacrificing the moral beliefs of individuals" in response to "merely political considerations is neither just nor prudent especially for the armed forces at a time of war."  Of course he and his chaplains are only dreading the human wreckage that they'll have to clean up now that perversion can be openly practiced and foisted upon our soldiers. 

Pray for our bishops that they all will stand firm in the face of evil.  Too many aren't.

Blasphemous Pepsi/Doritos Commercial

Apparently Pepsi and Doritos are having an ad contest, with the 10 "winners" to be aired during the Superbowl.  The below is one of the "entries".  Click here if you cannot see embedded video.



You can go here to sign a petition, or go to Pepsi's website to leave your own comment.  Either way, please speak out and don't remain silent.  We MUST defend our faith - that is not an option, but a solemn obligation.

Pope Versus American Bishops - Different World Views?

Michael Voris, in today's Vortex, compares the Holy Father's warning (see yesterday's post) versus Archbishop Dolan's rosy portrayal of the status of today's Church.  Frankly, I cannot see how anyone with two brain neurons that fire correctly can be blind to the immense crisis facing our very civilization.  However, it's there all around - from the vapid grins of many in the pews to the happy-pap-crap that fills the pages of the diocesan newspapers (including both the Catholic Standard and Our Parish Times).

As a new year draws near, perhaps we may want to spend some time in prayer rather than useless revelry and beg God's grace for a revived and restored Catholic Church that is faithful to God, His Laws and the Magisterium.

The "Olmsted Effect" Is Catching On!

Archbishop John Vlazny of the Archdiocese of Portland (Oregon) has advised the board of Catholic Community Services to forswear the use of United Way dollars.  That United Way also gives money to Planned Parenthood of Southwest Oregon.  That Planned Parenthood is administering RU-486, an abortifacient pill.

I pray that this is the start of a great trend.

Will We Heed The Holy Father's Christmas Warning?

The truth is often unpleasant, but must be spoken nonetheless.  Shortly before Christmas, Pope Benedict XVI commented on the state of affairs of this world.  In so doing, he was articulating the plain truth that only self-deluded fools can deny.  Unfortunately for us all, such fools abound in this world, and many occupy high places in world governments and even within the Church hierarchy itself.

MD Pro-Life Activists Vindicated In Suit Against Harford County

In the summer of 2008, the annual Face the Truth Tour, spearheaded by Defend Life, was interrupted in Harford County when police arrested the FTT participants who were peacefully standing along the road with their signs.  Moreover, three of the young women were strip-searched by the police.

Defend Life and the pro-life activists filed suit against the State of Maryland, Harford Couty and the Town of Bel Air.  They were, and are, being assisted by attorneys from the Alliance Defense Fund.

Harford County has settled with the activists.  According to the Lifenews article, the Harford State Attorney opposed the sheriff's office and its treatment of the pro-lifers.  However, there are two other defendants in the case: the Town of Bel Air and the State of Maryland.  If they do not settle, there will be a trial in federal court.

Here are links to other news sources:

Here's an explanation of the Face the Truth Tour concept and its origins.

FCC = Federal Communication Control

Here are some clear reasons why "net neutrality" as proposed by the Feds is a farce.  For one thing, who determines "neutrality" - some bureaucrats in DC?  Exercises of free speech, particularly those that take issue with the anti-God, anti-life and anti-moral denisons of DC, such as this blog, would be endangered.  And make no mistake about it- your First Amendment rights are in the crosshairs, too!
