It’s cold and damp today and that suited my mood as I hurried out of the house this morning. It is my day for Eucharistic Adoration. My adoration was broken by returning bits and pieces of my rant against this morning’s news. President Obama will celebrate the overturning of the ban on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research with an “event” in the White House. No Friday announcement behind closed doors here.
” What recourse; O Lord! What recourse?”…………… Thankfully, I finally realized, that I was in the place of recourse.
Later, at home after Mass, getting it all out with more inner screaming, and much, much writing, the Anchoress saved me from myself with this.
Our public godhead, President Obama, seems to mistake himself for the real Deity. Speaking on issues beyond his capacity, he is linking embryonic stem cell research with “scientific integrity” as reported in USA Today. Obama can’t see past the pocket of Planned Parenthood, his indebtedness to them, and Planned Parenthood’s BIGGER agenda which is NO LIMITS – NO GOD!
The general public has been generally duped in a well orchestrated bombardment of half truths and emotional sop. Smothered in scientific jargon and human interest pieces depicting Parkinson patients suffering, supposedly with no other recourse but the unethical one of embryonic stem cell research, the media, the general public, we the people, and our politicians have caved. No news reporter has the good sense or gumption to report that NO success has come from this unethical side street of science. Embryonic stem cells are unnecessary according to the scientific community! We have other ways and better ways that have already shown results.
I can understand how the misled mass media has been sold a fabricated bill of goods. I can understand that Planned Parenthood and the others of that camp simply want a free, no holds barred approach to win out over moral and ethical concerns and discussion; and so wage war. What I don’t understand is why we let them?! I don’t understand where the Christian voices in all this are? I hear the voice of the Roman Catholic Church speaking clearly and courageously, but where are all the others of faith. Obama talks about “scientific integrity” all the while violating the integrity of human life. Once a human life is seen as fodder for our scientific perversion there is no limit to how far our society can fall. Do we really want our Nation aligned against the God of Life?
Instapundit reports on who came to tea on the steps of the Pennsylvania Capitol. Hundreds came to the third of the weekly tea parties at the invitation of the Commonwealth Foundation and two local radio talk show hosts. “Harrisburg Tea Party” gives vent to their firmly held belief in limited federal and state government and definitely protests the government overstepping its role in our lives. There is more tea to be served along with sobering declarations in the days to come.

Seems Obama can make them swoooooon but they remember Limbaugh.
You go, Guy!
Rick Tucker writing for TownHall.com says Obama’s address to Congress accrued kudos for a day. Front pages applauded his audacious plans. By the weekend Barak was old news and lining garbage cans. Rush on the other hand mouthed four words that are still lighting fires and making headlines.
The words, part if a diatribe decrying socialist plans for America, were that Rush wanted “Barack Obama to fail. ” They were clearly and easily understood by people who understand context. That’s really all that matters. People do understand what Limbaugh meant. Some people just can’t stand that Limbaugh puts such a memorable stamp on it.
How can the American people get a do-over? This is not the time for an impeachment proof Congress! Don’t tell me the pre-election crowd on the Left is still in la-la-land. They have homes and mortgages, college funds and grocery bills, don’t they? They have consciences, don’t they? Will they really be content with bread lines and government hand outs?
Since President Obama (that’s hard for me to say) has been in office he has done nothing to indicate that he loves this country as we know it. Is raising taxes on small businesses when it is small businesses that fuel the imagination and the entrepreneurial vision of America, truly in our best interest. Is Obama’s hand in the pocket of those companies that have worked and produced our economical growth any better than unscrupulous CEO’s plundering our dreams. Is raising the capital gains tax the end-all and be-all of his vision for America. I think 95% of the American people are beginning to get the picture; in place of promised tax cuts, and it’s $13 dollars a week.
When Obama gets through with America our charitable institutions will be needed more than ever but drained and stretched beyond their limits, thanks to putting punitive limits on tax breaks. America is charitable but if our money is owed the government coffer where will these heavenly pennies come from.
Obama, the community organizer, is proving to be no more than that. What can a golden tongue do to feed and fuel the nation. His charisma simply blinds you to the fact that we are a rather big and unwieldy “community” that needs more than an amateur at the helm. America needs our oil companies and power plants operating at the top of their game in this time of competitive pressure from China and other growing nations. This may not be a good time to cap carbon and punish success.
Growing government is not the kind of job growth America needs. The money in the pockets of the wealthy is best put to work not out to pasture. Crashing the stock market and taking it from their pockets to line those of government isn’t putting it in your pocket. Do you really want to fill out a government form and wait for approval when you want to go to a doctor or build an American dream of your own?
Just maybe your dream for America and Obama’s aren’t the same dream. His dream, call it what you may, is based on an ideology that has been tried and failed. It’s not life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
“Hey it’s amateur hour at our darkest moment!”
Cramer: President Obama has caused “the greatest wealth destruction I have seen by a president.”
“A young kid took me aside. He said I was right when I said ‘we’ve elected a Leninist’.”
Be Holy!
