The good news is that people took action. There is no sleeping for Connecticut Catholics.
FIC Action President Peter Wolfgang will be on the Laura Ingraham show at 10:35 March 12th to discuss the anti-Catholic bill S.B. 1098, the two legislators–Lawlor and McDonald–who were behind it, and the incredible response by outraged citizens of all faiths at the state Capitol on March 11th. You can listen to Laura’s program here
“There were about 5,000 people at the state capitol yesterday– a weekday!–to protest this blatantly unconstitutional attack on religious liberty. Legislators of both parties are suddenly showing a greater level of deference and respect toward the Catholic Church and other faiths than FIC Action has ever seen.”
“Be sober and vigilant. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, steadfast in faith, knowing that your follow believers throughout the world undergo the same suffering.” 1 Peter 5: 8-9
“They are a people whose hearts go astray and they do not know my ways. So I swore in my anger, “They shall not enter into my rest.”
Little Ones, you who are robbed of life this day by those who should have nurtured and protected you, if God says to His people in the desert, “You shall not enter into my rest, ” what is He saying to our generation. We are entering the desert of our Time; we, whose hearts go astray and do not know His way.
In our desert, we cry out, “Lord, save us! Save our homes, our jobs, save our Nation!” Yet, we’ve settled for gods of convenience. We hail as progress what Mary Shelley would call a Frankenstein. Human life for sale, for profit and for manipulation! We say, “But God, the end justifies the means. Does it not?” As if we didn’t know. “They will service the good of humankind,” we say. While God says, “They are MINE!”
We dare to answer God, “Just building blocks for health and well being, a boon to mankind, these. You have so many more. We will by ourselves bring about a new order of audacious Hope.”
The hallowed parts of the so, so young, and, oh so destroyed, devoured on the altar of irreverent “Progress,” bereft of human dignity or worth, save to fire an industry of blood, cry out! The fifth seal waits it’s Time…….. This Time?
“You are a people whose heart go astray.” You silent people, you unethical Congress, you President No People, call to your gods to save you. I look for My Son in you. Show Me My Son.
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?
“We are paying for past sins in three principal areas: energy, health care and education”
“The ‘day of reckoning’ has arrived.”
Krauthammercalls Obama’s “sleight of hand” agenda (my emphasis):
“Amazing. As an explanation of our current economic difficulties, this is total fantasy. As a cure for rapidly growing joblessness, a massive destruction of wealth, a deepening worldwide recession, this is perhaps the greatest non sequitur ever foisted upon the American people.”
“Obama has come to redeem us with his far-seeing program of universal, heavily nationalized health care; a cap-and-trade tax on energy; and a major federalization of education with universal access to college as the goal.”
“At the very center of our economic near-depression is a credit bubble, a housing collapse and a systemic failure of the banking industry…List of causes of the collapse of the financial system does not include the absence of universal health care, let alone of computerized medical records. Nor the absence of an industry-killing cap-and-trade carbon levy. Nor the lack of college graduates.”
“Four months after winning the election, six weeks after his swearing-in, Obama has yet to unveil a plan to deal with the banking crisis.”
“Obama sees the continuing financial crisis as usefully creating the psychological conditions – the sense of crisis bordering on fear-itself panic — for enacting his “Big Bang” agenda to federalize and/or socialize health care, education”
“….intellectually dishonest to the core...The fraudulent claim that they are both cause and cure is the rhetorical device by which an ambitious president intends to enact the most radical agenda of social transformation seen in our lifetime”
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!
