Polanski Roundup

With a steady pushback, France and Poland have retreated from the "Free Polanski" sounbytes.

In another blow to Polanski today,

A former prosecutor who told a documentary film crew that he advised a judge handling Roman Polanski's case now says he lied about that.

David F. Wells says he lied to the makers of "Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired" about telling a judge in chambers that he should send the director to prison. The statements became part of the basis for a move by Polanski's attorneys to dismiss the case against the fugitive director, who is now in Swiss custody.

Wells retired as a prosecutor more than two years ago.

He says he "embellished" his actions to the film makers because he was told the documentary would air in France, not the United States.

"It was a dumb thing to do," Wells says. "I'm going to have to live with it."

Senate rejects abortion restrictions and conscience protections

Taking away 500 billion of healthcare for the elderly in our country in healthcare reform that does not cover abortions, illegal aliens and would have conscience protections appears to be another fable of the Obama Administration.

Bill Donohue articulates the Catholic reaction well:

DEMOCRATS ON COLLISION COURSE WITH CATHOLICS



The amendments by Sen. Orrin Hatch that would ban abortion funding in the health care bill and ensure conscience rights protections for health care workers were defeated today by a margin of 13-10. Catholic League president Bill Donohue addressed its implications:



The Democrats are on a collision course with the nation’s bishops, and the Catholic faithful in general. They cannot expect Catholics to pay for child abuse in the womb without reprisal. Nor can they expect Catholics to sit back and watch while Catholic doctors and nurses are punished for failing to cooperate in evil.



More than any group in America, Catholic bishops have been at the forefront of the movement for universal health care. But they never signed on to a health care reform package that made them violate their professed beliefs. Nor will they.



President Obama has said he will not support a bill that provides funding for abortion or denies conscience rights for health care employees. If he is honest, then he should issue a public statement condemning what happened today. If he makes no attempt to change the outcome, then the only logical conclusion for Catholics to draw is that they have been lied to. One thing we know for sure: If all along Obama had shown a fraction of the interest on this issue that he is currently showing about winning over the Olympic Committee in bringing the games to Chicago, the Hatch amendment would have passed today.


I must disagree with our friend Bill about a collision with Catholic Bishops. Cardinal O'Malley has already wiped out Catholic conscience protections without a peep from any Bishop in the country or the Vatican. It is only a matter of time before it spreads across the nation. In fact, O'Malley now has his sights on wiping out the conscience protections of Catholics in Rhode Island. (More on that later)

I hate to be so blunt, but the USCCB and Conference of Catholic Bishops are worse enemies to Roman Catholics than the Obama Administration.



Luckily, a handful can make a difference.

Let's see what happens.

Jon Gosselin, the druken manwhore is written out of the script

Starting November 2, it's "Kate Plus Eight". Period.

With this, and on the tails of the "babysitter" telling disturbing details of their sexual relationship as Kate tried to rescue her children from being emotionally traumatized and Jon exploited the police and his children, this has all inspired...you guessed it...remorse for his behavior.

He's starting to realize, he may actually have to get a real job.

Bill Donohue on the Mad Rush to Defend Roman Polanski

Bill Donohue joins the chorus of Catholics fascinated by the rise of a forgive and forget 30 year old child rape charge crowd.



The Catholic League has long suspected that, in many quarters, the outrage over priestly sexual abuse has had more to do with the status of the accused than the crime itself. Now the evidence is indisputable: a child can be drugged, penetrated and sodomized—and the guilty can cut and run—and still maintain hero status. Provided he is a celebrity.

Actress Debra Winger showed up at the Zurich Film Festival “to honor Roman Polanski as a great artist, but under these sudden and arcane circumstances, we can only think of him today as a human being.” Either that or as a child rapist. She was not alone: the Zurich Film Festival jury proudly displayed red badges reading “Free Polanski.” It was also nice to know that Woody Allen, a man who speaks from experience, came to Polanski’s defense.

Whoopi Goldberg showed off her usual brilliance when she declared that Polanski’s crime “wasn’t rape-rape.” No, only priests are guilty of real rape. Noted photographer Otto Weisser agrees: “He made a little mistake 32 years ago.” That’s right—it’s only a big mistake when priests do it. Richard Cohen of the Washington Post also notes that it’s been “over 30 years” since Polanski molested the girl. Similarly, movie critic Tom O’Neil exclaims that it is “mind-boggling why they’re still pursuing this.” Yet there is no statute of limitations afforded priests—men long dead have been accused of crimes extending back to the 1920s

Harvey Weinstein is so noble: “We’re calling on every film-maker we can to help fix this terrible situation.” The terrible situation, of course, isn’t what Polanski got away with—it’s his pursuit by the authorities. “To put him on trial or keep him in jail does not serve society in general or his victim in particular,” says journalist Anne Applebaum. She, and others, would carry more weight if the “he” included priests.

No wonder so many Americans look upon the celebrity worshippers with utter disdain. Double that for Catholics.
.

Polanski won't be experiencing the Kangaroo Courts and System of Justice Catholic priests are treated to when any drunk and druggie suddenly "remembers" he was abused 30 years ago -- and Polanski entered a plea of guilty.

I'm sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the geniuses to make the determination that the people in Hollywood don't know the proper names of genitalia and rush Sister Weartheppants in with an anatomically correct doll on every Hollywood set.

Perhaps Jeffrey Anderson will line up women who'll tell their story to the Boston Globe about their terror in movie theaters and they all repeatedly chant "Debra Winger the pimp".

Any minute now, they could pull together a group named "Voice of the Moviegoers" whose motto will be "keep the pervs, change your sheets" and call for withholding admission fees.

This world cannot possibly get any more insane.

(Could it??)

****UPDATE: MORE CATHOLICS ARE KICKING UP DUST.

There are literally hundreds of Catholic priests who were yanked without any evidence whatsoever from their ministries and Hollywood is lobbying for the freedom and release of a fugitive from justice who plead guilty to raping and sodomizing a child after doping her up with drugs and liquor?

Please.

Rape Arrest Upsetting Debra Winger's Festival

What's a festival if your favorite rapist isn't there to accept his award.

"We stand by and wait for his release and his next masterwork,"

Yes. Perhaps she can be the leading lady in a masterpiece about a Hollywood hero who's raping and sodomizing a 13 year old he's slipped a mickey to.

Can it get any more disgusting?

He didn't get his lifetime achievement award.

BooHoo.


Some of the pedophile defenders are building strawmen:

Here are some of the facts: Polanski's crime -- statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl -- was committed in 1977. The girl, now 45, has said more than once that she forgives him, that she can live with the memory, that she does not want him to be put back in court or in jail, and that a new trial will hurt her husband and children.


Shame on the author of this piece of puke.

Police arrest wife beaters, child rapists or murderers whether or not the victims want the criminal arrested or they don't. In fact, most times the victims are ashamed and don't want the publicity. That doesn't stop society from seeking and demanding justice.

He can be blamed, it is true, for his original, panicky decision to flee. But for this decision I see mitigating circumstances, not least an understandable fear of irrational punishment. Polanski's mother died in Auschwitz. His father survived Mauthausen. He himself survived the Krakow ghetto, and later emigrated from communist Poland. His pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered in 1969 by the followers of Charles Manson, though for a time Polanski himself was a suspect


Oh well then. He should be given a get out of jail card. This rich Hollywood king had hardships in his life. I guess that's what socialism is. The rich and famous movie and sports stars rape and kill and are heroes in the secular press.

There's no much mercy for the impoverished who commit crimes. Our prisons are filled with them.

As they should be.

Polanski got away with this for over 30 years.

Time for a day of reckoning.

Obama's Safe Schools Czar Encouraged Child Sex With Older Man

Washington Times: In this one case in which Mr. (Kevin) Jennings had a real chance to protect a young boy from a sexual predator, he not only failed to do what the law required but actually encouraged the relationship.

This is one sick and twisted individual - listen here.

Another proud day for Obama.

You can bet Obama's two children will never be taught this load of garbage. They save this trash for the children of the hoi polloi.

It's REALLY Windy in Wellesley

On "Sunday morning" Howie Carr crossed into the oncoming lane, drove up onto the sidewalk and knocked over a telephone pole.

Wellesley police Sgt. Marie Cleary said Carr refused medical treatment and the car was towed. (The pole was split in half.) Carr was cited for a marked-lanes violation. "There were no signs of alcohol or anything suspicious of that nature," Cleary said yesterday. "It's a windy road there. I'm not sure if he was distracted for a moment."
It might have been windy?

The wind picked up Carr's Accura and blew him into the telephone poll?

Apparently when you drive head-on into oncoming traffic in Wellesley, it's no questions asked by the police.

Inquiring minds want to know what time it was on "Sunday morning".

Was he on his way home from Church at 11:00am or was it more like 2:30 on Sunday morn?

Meet the President (in Your Goths)


The Spanish Prime Minister is working overtime trying to get pictures of his visit with his daughters dressed in goth/witch attire at the White House out of circulation.

As a Mom of three - two still teenagers, I'm an advocate of choosing your battles.

Children get their self-esteem from what other people think of them. What other people think of them can be read in an instant. The role of a parent is to give them guidance so that the unspoken messages they receive are messages that build up their self-confidence.

Letting children walk out of the house dressing in wrinkled and stained clothes, dressing like a freak, wearing makeup like a freak is poor parenting.

Letting them wear freak clothing and makeup the White House meet the President of the United States is pathetic parenting.


What message did these two children get from seeing their parents try to remove pictures they are ashamed of?

The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy is Back

So sayeth Bill Clinton.

The ex-president made the comment in a television interview when he was asked about one of the signature moments of the Monica Lewinsky affair over a decade ago. Back then, first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton used the term "vast, right-wing conspiracy" to describe how her husband's political enemies were out to destroy his presidency.

Bill Clinton was asked on NBC's "Meet the Press" whether the conspiracy is still there. He replied: "You bet. Sure it is. It's not as strong as it was because America has changed demographically. But it's as virulent as it was."

Clinton said that this time around, the focus is on Obama and "their agenda seems to be wanting him to fail."

The beauty about political "change" is, if we wait long enough, it changes back.

Why does it have to be a conspiracy?

Why can't it just be a country where people disagree about the trajectory of the culture and where we exchange ideas and lobby for those ideas in the public square?

If the liberals don't like the invention of the boogeyman, they ought not use the strategy.

John Edwards Paternity Kefuffle Heating Up

With Andrew Young admitting he was paid to pretend he fathered Reille Hunter's child,there are rumors that Elizabeth Edwards is posting on a blog under the name of Cherubim.

Upset about Hunter and her daughter Quinn have moved to a community nearby the Edward's North Carolina summer home, Elizabeth is purportedly painting Hunter as a blackmailing goldigger.

Sing with us ye Seraphim.


In a proposal for the book, Young contends that Elizabeth blamed him for helping her husband carry on the affair and forced Young to quit the campaign. He also alleges that Elizabeth left taunting messages on his family's answering machine - telling his wife, Cheri, that Rielle supposedly had slept with Young and that she was likely to again.

Along with claiming that Edwards and Hunter made a sex tape, the proposal alleges:

Edwards had had affairs with other women on the campaign trail.

When Edwards was forced to call off a birthday date with Hunter because he found out that Elizabeth's cancer had returned, an unsympathetic Hunter screamed at him.

After learning of the affair, Elizabeth made John sleep in their barn though she would wake him up with accusatory rants.

It took 30 years, but pedophile Roman Polanski arrested

Polanski fled the US in 1978 after pleading guilty to unlawful sexuality with a 13 year old.

He's been avoiding entering countries with extradition treatise with the United States for 30 years.

France has been protecting Polanski for decades and the Swiss has called his arrest a farce of justice.

One only has to imagine the public outrage would be if they said these things about an accused priest.

How to Worship Obama

Gather or Scatter


Today's readings about gathering and scattering are forever being twisted and contorted.

Clergy and prelates in the last 40 years gather the people in the pews unto eachother or gather them unto themselves. They've marginalized the teachings of the Christ's Catechism as offensive. Veneration and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is archaic and irrelevant to these poor souls and their flocks are taught to turn to their fellow human beings for affirmation and intimate spiritual sustenance.

The flock has scattered. I hate to say it but I still don't see the light at the end of the dark tunnel they've led the sheep into. Those of us honest enough with ourselves to acknowledge the way they were teaching us to live just wasn't gelling had to go outside our parish priests and local ordinaries to find the teachings of the Church. When we blow the dust off our Catechisms and find the Deposit of Faith and try to bring it back, we're booted.

I'm fascinated that priests think we'll keep bringing our children into the morass to be misled with the others.

The most vivid example that the leadership is singing a merry tune on the road to perdition is Sean Cardinal O'Malley: His salvos in the public square that people responding to his lies involving the Caritas debacle and the Ted Kennedy canonization are the people scattering the flock.

Archbishop Burke's full address to the scandal (most certainly a rebuke) can be read here.

Senator Kennedy's replacement, the now Senator Paul Kirk advocates abortion. The spiritual malpractice by priests and prelates in Senator Kennedy's circle is a heartbreaking thing to watch.

What fool would take their children by the hand and with their presence lend what they say and do credibility? It's as foolish as packing up on a Sunday morning and sitting piously in prayer in the parlor of the local brothel. Dust your feet and give testimony before you go out the door. Do it while your children are little.


A friend in Christ passed on the below homily.

Enjoy.



Father Marcel Nault, 1927 - 1997. On Easter Sunday, March 30,1997 at
12:00 noon, Father Marcel Nault was called from this earthly life unto
the God whom he had loved and. served with zealous devotion. Born on
March 3, 1927 in Montreal Quebec, his was a relatively late vocation. He
was ordained to the diocesan priesthood on March 4, 1962 the day after
his 35th birthday. The following is a speech given by Father Marcel Nault to the World Catholic Bishops Fatima Peace Conference in Fatima, Portugal in 1992.
This speech made such an impact that after this Conference, several
Bishops asked Father Nault to hear their confessions.



HELL EXISTS AND WE MIGHT GO THERE!
by Father Marcel Nault



Our Lord Jesus Christ came on earth for one reason, to save souls from
Hell. Teaching the reality of Hell is the most important and unavoidable
duty of the Holy Catholic Church.

One of the greatest Fathers of the Church, St. John Chrysostom,
continually taught that Our Lord Jesus Christ preached more often on
Hell than on Heaven.

Some people say it is better to preach on Heaven. I disagree. Preaching
on Hell produces many more true and strong conversions than only
preaching on Heaven. St. Benedict, the founder of the Benedictines,
while he was in Rome was told by the Holy Ghost: "You are going to lose
your soul in Rome and go to Hell." He left Rome and he went into the
silence and solitude outside the city to meditate on the life of Jesus
and the Holy Gospels. St Benedict ran away from those numerous occasions
of sin of pagan Rome. He prayed. He made sacrifices for himself and
sinners. The Holy Ghost spread the word of his holiness.

As a result, people came to see, hear and follow St Benedict's example
and advice. He separated himself from occasions of sin and became holy.
Holiness attracts souls. Why do you think St. Augustine changed his
life? Because of the fear of Hell! I preach often on the tragic reality
of Hell. It is a Catholic Dogma priests and bishops do not preach
anymore.

Pope Pius IX, who pronounced the two dogmas of Papal Infallibility and
the Immaculate Conception, and who also issued his famous Syllabus
condemn-ing the errors and heresies of the modem world, used to ask
preachers to preach more often on the Four Last Things, especially on
Hell, as he himself did preach. He asked this because the thought of
Hell makes saints.

The Saints Feared Hell
Here is something very curious, saints are afraid to go into Hell but
sinners are not afraid. Saint Francis de Sales, Saint Alphonsus Liguori,
Saint cure of Ars, St. Therese of Avila, St. Therese of the Infant Jesus
were all afraid to go to Hell.

Saint Simon Stock the Superior General of the Carmel, knew that his
monks were afraid to go to Hell. His monks were fasting and making
prayer. They were living in seclusion, cut off from the dangerous world
dominated by Satan. Still they were afraid of going to Hell.

In 1251, Our Lady of Mount Caramel appeared in Aylesford, England to
Saint Simon Stock. She said, "Do not be afraid anymore, I am giving you
a special vestment; all those who will die wearing this vestment will
not go to Hell." I wear my Brown Scapular under my vestments and I have
another one in my pocket because I never know when people will ask me to
preach on Hell or the Brown Scapular.

Mary said to the Dominican priest, Blessed Alan de 1a Roche, "I will
come and save the world through My Rosary and My Scapular." One cannot
specialize in everything and preach on everything; one must make a
choice. I believe that it is the will of Our Lord Jesus that I preach on
Hell.

A Monsignor, my superior at that time, once told me: you preach too
often on Hell and you scare people". He added: "Marcel, I have never
preached on Hell, people don't like it. You scare them." In a very
friendly way, the Monsignor told me in his own office: "Marcel, I have
never preached on Hell and I never will preach on Hell, and look at the
nice and prestigious position I hold." I kept a long silence, then I
looked him in the eyes. "Monsignor," I said, "you are on the road to
Hell for all eternity. Monsignor, you preach to please men, instead of
preaching to please Christ and save souls from Hell. Monsignor, it is a
mortal sin of omission to refuse to preach the Catholic Dogma of Hell. "

When God sent Prophets in the Old Testament it was to remind men to come
back to the truth, to come back to holiness. Jesus came, preached and
sent His Apostles in the world to preach the Holy Gospels. The Serpent
came and spread his poison through heresies, so the Lord Jesus sent His
Beloved Mother, the Queen of Prophets: "Go on earth and destroy
heresies." The Fathers of the Church have written that the Mother of God
is the hammer of heresies. If you take the time to study with great
attention the Message of Our Lady of Fatima, you will notice it is a
most tragic and profound message repeating the teaching of the Holy
Gospels.

The Lessons Taught at Fatima
The summary of the Message of Fatima is, Hell exists. Hell is eternal
and we will all go into Hell if we die in the state of mortal sin. "What
does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul?"

Our Lady has come and told us that we can be saved through Her two
divine sacramentals of predestination, the Holy Rosary and the Brown
Scapular. There is also special emphasis on Devotion to the Immaculate
Heart of Mary and Devotion of the Five First Saturdays.

At the first apparition of the Angel of Portugal at the Cabeco, in May
1916, the Angel of Portugal carne to the three children and he showed
them how to adore God with two different prayers. "Oh my God, I believe,
I adore, I hope and I love Thee. I ask pardon for those who do not
believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love Thee." The Angel
prayed this while prostrating himself on the ground.

The Angel of Fatima has shown the three children that in the order of
prayers, first things first. One must first adore God and. then after
pray to the saints. God first, creatures second. The Angel of Fatima has
shown men that we must adore and pray to God on our knees. The more a
man knows God, the more he humbles himself in front of God his Creator.

The great French Bishop Bossuet said: "Man is really great when he is on
his knees." Yes, Man is truly great when he is on his knees in front of
his Creator and Redeemer, Jesus in the Most Holy Blessed Sacrament The
Angel at Fatima came to teach the three children that our first duty,
according to the First Commandment, is to adore God.

At his third apparition at the Cabeco, the Angel of Portugal came with
the Chalice in his left hand and the Host in his right hand. The
children wondered what was going on. The Angel miraculously left the
Chalice and the Holy Host suspended in the air. The Angel prostrated
himself on the ground and recited a profound Trinitarian prayer of
adoration. "Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, I adore Thee
profoundly and I offer Thee the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and
Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world,
in reparation for the outrages, sacrilege and indifference by which He
is offended, and by the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and
through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg the conver-sion of poor
sinners.

God wants us to adore Him on our knees. Do all of us kneel in prayer and
adoration of Jesus in the Most Holy Eucharist? We should. When the three
wise men came to Bethlehem and entered the house, they prostrated
them-selves in front of baby Jesus to adore Him on their knees. We have
the example from Scripture and from the Angel at Fatima that God wants
us to adore Him on our knees.

The Reinforcement of Catholic Dogma
One year later, on May 13, 1917, the children saw a young girl appear to
them. It was Our Lady's first apparition. Lucy asked, "Where do you come
from?" She replied, "I come from heaven." The Catholic dogma of heaven.

The children asked, "Will we go into heaven?" She replied "Yes, you
will." They then asked, "Our two girl friends, are they in heaven?" Mary
replied, "one yes". The children asked, "Where is the other girl? Is she
in Heaven?" Mary replied, "She is in Purgatory until the end of the
world." This girl was around 18 years old. A second dogma, Purgatory
exists and will end at the end of this world. The Mother of God cannot
lie.

The Angel of Fatima taught the three children how to adore God the
Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. This is a reinforcement of
the dogma of the Most Holy Trinity, the greatest of them all without
which Christianity cannot stand. We must adore the three Persons of the
Most Holy Trinity.

A Vision of Hell
On Friday, July 13, 1917 Our Lady appeared at Fatima and talked to the
three seers. Our Lady never smiled. How could She smile, for it was on
this day that She was to show the children the vision of Hell?

She said "Pray, pray very much because many souls go into Hell." Our
Lady opened Her hands and suddenly the three children saw a hole in the
ground. That hole, said Lucy, was like a sea of fire in which we saw the
souls in human forms, men and women, burning, shouting, and crying in
despair. Lucy said demons looked like ugly and unknown animals. The
children were so terrified that Lucy screamed. She was so afraid that
she thought she would die. Mary said to the children: "You have seen
Hell where sinners go when they do not repent." Another Roman Catholic
dogma, Hell.

Hell is Eternal Our Lady said "Each time you say the Rosary, My
children, say after each decade, '0 my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save
us from the fire of Hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those
most in need." Mary came to Fatima as a Prophet of the Most High to save
souls from Hell. The patron of all pastors, St Jean Marie Vianney used
to preach that the greatest act of charity towards your neighbor is to
save their souls from Hell. The second act of charity according to St.
Jean Vianney is to deliver souls from Purgatory. One day in his little
church, (where, to this day, his body lies incorrupt) a man possessed by
a demon approached St. Jean Vianney and said: "I hate you, I hate you
because you stole from my hand eighty-five thousand souls." Your
Eminence, Excellencies, Priests, when we will come to be judged by
Jesus, Jesus will ask us one question. "I made you a priest, a bishop, a
cardinal, a pope, how many souls have you saved from Hell?" St. Francis
de Sales, according to statistics, has converted and probably saved more
than seventy-five thousand heretics. How many souls have you saved? When
you read the Fathers of the Church, the Doctors of the Church and the
saints, you are struck by one thing; they all have preached the holy
Gospels of Jesus and the FOUR LAST THINGS: Death, Judgment, Heaven,
Hell. They all have preached the Catholic dogma of Hell because when we
meditate on the abode of the damned, we don't want to go to Hell. As a
result, we avoid the occasions of sin and take all the means necessary
to become saints and therefore avoid Hell and attain Heaven.

I don't want to criticize Bishops, but I must confess this truth. I have
thirty years of priesthood. It is sad to say that I have never seen nor
heard a bishop, even my bishop or any other bishop, preach the Roman
Catholic dogma of Hell. I suppose in your countries and elsewhere they
do, but in America, Hell is not preached.

One day in a cathedral I said to a bishop, "Your Excellency you make a
nice meditation of the Holy Rosary every night for the radio. This is
beautiful. But I must ask, why don't you have your meditation a little
shorter and insert after each decade: '0 my Jesus, forgive us our sins.
Save us from the fire of Hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially
those most in need of Thy Mercy'. Why do you refuse to say that little
prayer alter each decade, as requested by Our Lady of Fatima on July 13,
1917, after She had shown Hell to the three seers?" The Bishop said to
me: "Well, people don't like us to preach on Hell, the word Hell makes
them scared."

We are not there to preach to please the crowd but to save souls from
Hell, to prevent them from going into Hell for all eternity. This may
not hold true for all Bishops, but I have often heard Bishops recite the
Rosary and omit that merciful prayer to save souls from Hell. I believe
that little prayer of Our Lady of Fatima given to the children on July
13, 1917 is more powerful and more pleasing to God than any kind of
meditation even given by a holy bishop.

You have received your own missions from God, and I believe that Jesus
and Our Lady want me to preach on Hell as my mission. So I preach often
on Hell. There are many revelations that we can read in the life of
privileged souls. Some souls in Hell have been ordered by God to speak
in order to help us in our faith. It is a mortal sin of omission to
refuse to preach the Catholic Dogma of Hell. Those souls in Hell said:
"We could accept to be in Hell a thousand years. We could accept to be
in Hell a million years, if we knew
that one day, we would leave Hell." My friends, we must meditate, not
only on the fire of Hell, not only on the privation of seeing God, but
we must also meditate on the eternity of Hell. Meditate seriously in
front of the tabernacle on the Roman Catholic dogma of Hell. Dear
Bishops, you must preach the whole Gospel of Jesus, including the tragic
reality of eternal Hell.

Heretical Concept of God's Mercy
A priest at a charismatic conference told a crowd of about three
thousand people and one hundred priests that "God is love, God is mercy
and you will see His infinite Mercy at the end of the world, when Jesus
will deliver all souls from Hell, even demons." That priest continues to
preach and his Bishop doesn't take away his faculties for preaching
heresies.

"Go in the eternal fire", said Jesus. Eternal fire, not temporary fire.
With our limited human intelligence we make a little philosophic
proposition: "God is love, God is Our Father. How can a father, for
Heaven's sake, take little Peter and throw him in a burning furnace? It
is impossible. It is an insult to God, Who is love." How many times have
you heard that?

The truth, however, is that Hell exists. Hell is eternal. And we will
all go into Hell if we die in the state of mortal sin. I can go into
Hell. You can go into Hell. If any of us die in mortal sin, we will be
in Hell for all eternity, burning, weeping, and crying in despair. Not
for a million years, but for billions and billions and billions of years
and beyond, for all eternity. In our lifetime, who has never made one
mortal sin? Only one mortal sin not repented before you die is enough
for Jesus to throw us in Hell.

One of the greatest Fathers of the Church, Patron of all Catholic
Preachers, St. John Chrysostom said: "Few bishops are saved and many
priests are Damned."

When we were coming from Lisbon to Fatima by bus, I preached on the bus
to the lay people, priests and bishops present. I implored them, "Please
when you come to Fatima, why not make an excellent holy general
confession. Maybe ten years ago, maybe fifty years ago, maybe you
didn't have the courage to confess that sin because you were ashamed.
Please, make a holy and complete confession in Fatima before you leave.
There are many priests in Fatima that you will never see until you reach
Heaven." I preach to Bishops like I preach to everyone because Bishops
also have a soul to save. And if Bishops are truly humble they will also
accept the truth even from an ordinary simple priest. Let us not leave
Fatima without making a Holy General Confession.

A Great Act of Charity
Your Excellencies, Jesus made us priests, The Lord Jesus has chosen us
among millions of men to make us priests. We have been made priests for
one reason, to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to the Almighty
Father, to pray the breviary every day and to preach the Gospels of
Jesus to save souls from Hell. Nobody is sure to go to Heaven unless
they have received a private revelation from God like the Good Thief on
the cross or the three seers of Fatima. Why not take all the insurance
that Heaven has given us, the Rosary (devotion to My Rosary is a sure
sign of predestination), the Brown Scapular and the wonderful Sacrament
of penance.

Preach, my dear Bishops, like the Fathers of the Church. The first duty
of a bishop is to preach, not only to administer a diocese. The Church
needs to see and hear bishops preaching like the Fathers of the Church.

If only one Bishop among you would have come to Fatima then return to
his diocese and on certain occasions preach "The Four Last Things" with
the full Message of Fatima, what a great act of Charity it would be.
With the help of the Holy Ghost, say to your faithful: "Listen, my
brothers in Christ, I am your Bishop, I am here to save your soul from
Hell. Please listen, accept and meditate on my teaching today. You too
my dear priests in my diocese, imitate your Bishop, and preach on Hell
with the authority that Jesus has given you. Preach at least one entire
sermon on Hell once a year." You would be doing the greatest act of
charity of your priesthood, of your episcopate.

As I mentioned earlier, in my thirty years as a priest, I have never
heard a Bishop preach on Hell. When I want a sermon on Hell, I have to
read Saint John Chrysostom, the Fathers of the Church, the Doctors of
the Church and canonized preachers. Dear Bishops, please, preach on Hell
like Jesus, Our Lady of Fatima, the Fathers of the Church and the
Doctors of the Church and you will save many souls. Who saves one soul,
saves his own soul. Preaching on Hell is a great act of charity because
those that hear you will believe. They will change their lives and make
holy confessions.

The Garment of Grace
People sometimes ask me: "Why is it, Father, that the Brown Scapular
isn't preached anymore? In the past, we received the Brown Scapular at
First Communion, but today there are no more blessings and imposition of
the Brown Scapular. Is the Brown Scapular true today as in the past?"
Yes, the Brown Scapular is honored to this day; this truth has not
changed. On Saturday, October 13, 1917 during the Miracle of the Sun in
Fatima, Mary was holding the Brown Scapular. Sister Lucy said: "The
Rosary and the Brown Scapular are inseparable."

Why is it then priests never preach on the Brown Scapular? How can
priests preach on the Brown Scapular if they deliberately refuse to
preach on Hell? If you never preach on Hell, people won't believe in
Hell. What is the use of wearing the Brown Scapular?

Jesus said: "If you have faith, you will move mountains." If you have
faith, you will convert souls with the grace of God.

If you preach on Hell with faith, people will believe in Hell. Saint
Paul said to his disciples: "Preach with conviction." To talk or read a
homily in a Church is not preaching. Preaching is intended to move the
will; preaching is intended to move men, to change their lives, to save
their souls from Hell.

The Defection of Clergy
There are four major reasons why 75,000 priests have left the
priesthood:
1) because they have neglected to pray every day.
2) because they did not avoid the occasions of sin and have forgotten
that prudence is the science of saints.
3) because they did not have the humility and courage to make holy and
complete confessions. Jesus said: "Without Me you can do nothing."
4) because they lived in mortal sin and continued to celebrate thus. If
a priest is in the state of mortal sin and celebrates Mass, it is a
sacrilegious mass for him. When he receives Communion, it is another
sacrilegious communion for him.

How can a priest in the state of mortal sin preach under the inspiration
and the strength of the Holy Ghost? How can he preach if he's filled
with demons? Priests, go and make holy confessions and you will become
excellent preachers. The Holy Ghost will speak in you and through you
and you will save thousand of souls from Hell.

One day, the Cure of Ars received a visit from a young priest from a
nearby parish. That young priest was a little curious to meet Cure of
Ars. After lunch the Cure of Ars said: "Will you, please, hear my
confession?" The young priest nearly fell off his chair when asked to
hear the confession of the already very holy priest St. Jean Vianney.
Saints go to Confession! And those that go to Confession become Saints.

Finally, Our Lady of Fatima said: "pray, pray very much and make many
sacrifices for many souls go into Hell because there is no one to pray
and make sacrifices." Let us pray often and every day: "0 my Jesus,
forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell and lead all souls
to Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy Mercy. "


How successful a priest is in gathering their flocks unto the Lord rather than themselves is evidenced by the lines in their confessionals.

Plain and simple.

Find one that is gathering the children unto Christ. When you're there, fast and pray for the poor slobs you've left behind.

Civil Discourse with Terrorists Isn't Panning Out for Obama

Barack ran his campaign firing salvos at defensive military strategies and telling the American people that once he was elected there would be no war because he would defuse war by holding rational discussions with the tyrants and mass murderers.

With the realization that Obama prefers American's be sitting ducks for terrorists and opposes defending the country, Iran has given Obama the finger. Not only does Iran have a "secret annex" to their nuclear power plant and about to make Atomic bombs, they are perfecting the long-range missile system to shoot them from.



Obama, you see, is so much nicer to terrorists than George Bush that he's even making extra efforts to befriend the ethnic cleansers and mass murderers by dismantling the US missile defense system in the Czech Republic and Poland.



Just hours after President Obama and Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced that they were shelving plans for a missile defense shield in Eastern Europe because of Iran's shift in strategy, the Associated Press revealed details of the secret report by the International Atomic Energy Agency. It says Iran has "sufficient information" to build a bomb.

Huffington Post (of course),is calling this strategy is "brilliant" and "shrewd".

Here's the Reader's Digest version:

Obama will make the defensive missile shield impotent and get Russia, Brittain and Germany to circle Iran's wagons to cut off their food and money. Madmen faced with having their power taken away from them with life-threatening sanctions will wave the white flag.


But so far, Obama has handled Iran perfectly with a mixture of threats and promises of cooperation.


That's right. Blockade food and water from suicide bombers and they'll lay down their arms when they know there is nothing stopping their missiles from killing the people circling the wagons.

Very shrewd indeed.

Some White House luminaries are now saying they knew chances for a love-in were slim and there may have to be a plan b.

Still, the positive response that the president most wanted, from Iran’s leaders themselves, has yet to materialize. Some administration officials said they always believed the odds were slim that the hard-line clerics who run Iran would clasp Mr. Obama’s outstretched hand.

And those slim prospects seemed to vanish entirely after Iran’s chaotic elections in June, when President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was re-elected amid evidence of flagrant irregularities that brought demonstrators into the streets and prompted a bloody government crackdown....

Mr. Indyk, a Middle East peace negotiator in the Clinton administration, said the lesson of this bumpy period was to keep trying. “It’s not as though he came in with real possibilities and squandered them,” Mr. Indyk said of Mr. Obama. “He found a barren landscape and tried to water it.”


He is playing with fire.

UPDATE: Iran test fires missiles in a show of defiance against threats.

Iran said it successfully test-fired short-range missiles during military drills Sunday by the elite Revolutionary Guard, a show of force days after the U.S. warned Tehran over a newly revealed underground nuclear facility it was secretly constructing.

Gen. Hossein Salami, head of the Revolutionary Guard Air Force, said Iran also tested a multiple missile launcher for the first time. The official English-language Press TV showed pictures of at least two missiles being fired simultaneously and said they were from Sunday's drill in a central Iran desert. In the clip, men could be heard shouting "Allahu Akbar" as the missiles were launched.

"We are going to respond to any military action in a crushing manner and it doesn't make any difference which country or regime has launched the aggression," state media quoted Salami as saying. He said the missiles successfully hit their targets.


The masses have elected a weakling and a fool.

Mmmm. Mmmm. Mmmm. Barack Hussein Obama



Is it me or is the "song" set to the music of the Battle Hymn of the Republic?

"glory, glory alleluia, his truth is marching on".

Heil Obama.

All We Need Now is Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young



Obama's socialists are rioting with broken bottles, bricks, rocks and sticks.



In riots which continued through evening rush hour, about 300 protesters were reported to have remained from an initial crowd of 2,000 in Bloomfield, Pittsburgh’s Little Italy.

Frustrated in their attempts to reach the venue where world leaders are meeting the crowd, many of whom wore face-masks and armed themselves with rocks, broke windows at fast-food restaurants, a BMW dealership and a bank in the area, about a mile from the fenced-off convention centre



The march turned chaotic at just about the time that President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama arrived for a meeting with leaders of the world's major economies.


The Obamas are bringing out the best in people.

The clashes began after hundreds of protesters, many advocating against capitalism, tried to march from an outlying neighborhood toward the convention center where the summit is being held.

The protesters banged on drums and chanted "Ain't no power like the power of the people, 'cause the power of the people don't stop."

The marchers included small groups of self-described anarchists, some wearing dark clothes and bandanas and carrying black flags. Others wore helmets and safety goggles.

One banner read, "No borders, no banks," another, "No hope in capitalism." A few minutes into the march, protesters unfurled a large banner reading "NO BAILOUT NO CAPITALISM" with an encircled "A," a recognized sign of anarchists.


Their worst nightmare came true.

There they are breaking down doors and busting windshields and the next thing you know the big bad police are asking them for identification.

"This is ridiculous. We have constitutional rights to free speech," he said.

The National Lawyer's Guild, a liberal legal-aid group, said one of its observers, a second year law student, was among those arrested. Its representatives were stationed among the protesters, wearing green hats.


"I think he was totally acting according to the law. I don't think he was provoking anyone at all," said Joel Kupferman, a member of the guild. "It's really upsetting because he's here to serve, to make sure everyone else can be protected. ... It's a sign that they are out of control."

The march had begun at a city park, where an activist from New York City, dressed in a white suit with a preacher's collar, started it off with a speech through a bullhorn.


"They are not operating on Earth time. ... They are accommodating the devil," he said. "To love democracy and to love the earth is to be a radical now."


Groovy.

Judie Brown on Fr. Landry's Column

Last week, our editorial argued that one of the most important lessons pastors of the Church in the United States need to draw from the history of interactions with Senator Ted Kennedy on the sanctity of human life is that a strategy of conscience education alone with “personally opposed,” but publicly “pro-choice” Catholic politicians hasn’t worked. The attempt to engage, teach and help persuade such politicians to conversion didn’t succeed with Senator Kennedy, and it hasn’t succeeded yet with other “pro-choice” Catholic legislators.

To say that it hasn’t succeeded, however, is really not strong enough. It’s possible, after all, to fail a test with a grade of 59; in such a case, a student would be able to take some solace in the fact that, while there are some areas in need of improvement, he was close to minimal success. If a student fails a test with close to a zero, on the other hand, he obviously needs to make some radical changes if he ever hopes to succeed. And that is closer to the candid assessment that leaders of the Church need to make relative to the education-alone strategy during the past few decades.

Let us take an honest look at the numbers. When we survey the long list of “pro-choice” Catholic politicians from both parties—Kennedy, Kerry, Giuliani, Schwarzenegger, Daschle, Dodd, Durban, Leahy, Mikulski, Pelosi, Delahunt, Capuano, Markey, McGovern, Meehan, Granholm, Sebelius, Pataki, Richardson, Cellucci, Cuomo and Biden, to name just a handful—is it possible to say that the strategy has worked with any of them? Over the last three and a half decades, can we point to even one success story?

Read the rest of this fabulous elaboration by Fr. Landry here.

What does John Zmirak eat?

I want some.

Today, he makes mince mean out of the pennies from Heaven crowd.

"America has acted unilaterally, without regard to others"

That's America according to Obama in his despicable anti-American speech at the United Nations.

The United Nations has always been the machine for murdering thugs and dictators.

Now, the man representing the United States is one of them.

Joe Biden says if GOP wins 2012, it's the end of their agenda

When your numbers are tanking mitigating your ability to advance your policies because people are in the streets protesting by the millions, does Biden think this is a winning strategy?

Americans have seen the gig and they don't like it. Pointing out how to effectively shut down the government takeovers of our wallets, property, liberty and freedom is rather counterproductive isn't it?

This is my favorite part:

“All the hidden Republicans that don’t have the courage to vote the way they want to vote because of pressure from the party … it will break the dam and you will see bipartisanship,” Biden said.


Biden actually thinks he and Barack have brought the country partisan unity.

Take Your Tent and Scram

Gahdafi gets chased out of town.

Just as the town was preparing to deal with the dictator next door, Donald Trump, who said he unknowingly rented a piece of his 113-acre Seven Springs estate to the Libyan, stepped in and asked the leader to take down his tent and find housing elsewhere.

"We have requested that the tenant occupying the property in Bedford, N.Y. remove the tent that was erected. They have complied with this request. Additionally, Mr. Gadhafi will not be going to the property," said Trump Organization spokeswoman Rhona Graff.

The tent was taken down just after Westchester County Executive Andrew Spano said the Secret Service told him Gadhafi would be going to Trump's estate.

Bryan Hehir's Coup of the Catholic Church in America

As I've indexed many times throughout the last several years, Bryan Hehir has been involved with a group from the Kennedy School of Government that worked to elect Obama and is now working with the Obama Administration to snuff out the Catholic religion as we know it in America.

Hehir has been effective here in Massachusetts with the assistance of Cardinal O'Malley in strategically shutting down legislative and constitutional defense of our freedom to practice religion without handing out "emergency contraceptives", he took over the Mass Catholic Conference and, again, strategically shut down every aspect of it, leaving our Catholic conscience protections in Massachusetts legislatively and Constitutionally defenseless. The Cathedra in Boston being, in effect, sede vacanate, Hehir has been running the diocese for five years. I could go on and on indexing Cardinal O'Malley and Bryan Hehir's destructive policies for hours, but this is not the thrust of this post.

Hehir's objectives are twofold:

1. The destruction of Humanae Vitae and Democracy.
2. Marxism/Communism in America.

In a story in Accuracy in the Media, (Catholic Church Funding of Acorn) author Cliff Kincaid describes the contrived socioeconomic wars, instigated by churchmen to simultaneously kill faithfulness to the tenets of the Catholic Church and at the right time, overthrow democracy.

Alinskyian training sessions in the religious context are designed not to develop or cultivate a personal relationship with Christ and promote traditional values and cultural institutions but to engage in Marxist political activity and radical change. Stephanie Block puts it this way: "Their worldview is marred by visions of class struggle and perpetual revolution. They are systematically trained to renounce moral truth in favor of consensus-based 'values.'" What has happened over the course of years, some of these experts say, is that Catholics trained in Alinskyian thought have become confused about moral issues and problems. They think, for example, that opposition to the death penalty is on the same moral plane as opposition to abortion, even though Catholic moral teaching has never precluded capital punishment. They believe that fighting "global warming" is as important as saving the lives of unborn children or preventing the killing of the elderly. They are trained to fight for abortion and homosexual "rights" in violation of traditional Catholic Church teaching.


The article gives a decent analysis of how the Saul Alinsky confusion plays out in the public square.

Alinsky had his own Catholic connection, having had the support in Texas of Catholic Bishop Bernard J. Sheil and the Catholic Diocese in the San Antonio area. This then became a center of support for Marxist-oriented Liberation Theology and opposition to the Reagan policy of preventing Communist takeovers of Central American countries in the 1980s.

Father J. Bryan Hehir, who in 1983 delivered a series of lectures at the far-left Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) entitled, "Matthew, Marx, Luke, and John" illustrates the continuing left-wing drift of the Catholic Church in foreign affairs. Hehir, who served on the staff of the U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops in Washington, D.C., from 1973-1992 and now teaches at Harvard, appeared on an October 15, 2007, Center for American Progress panel on "pursuing the global common good." Obama's adviser McDonough was also on the panel.





How Marxism Infiltrated the Catholic Church, scroll down to the bottom of page 3, where it describes how Hehir was crowned with an award named after Orlando Letelier, a Chilean communist.

Hehir's communist and dissenting reputation was well known before Cardinal O'Malley brought him to Boston. Once Hehir was in place, Cardinal O'Malley withdrew from power and handed over every aspect of it to Bryan Hehir. O'Malley has protected Hehir by using his blog to defend the Hehir's scandals and malign the righteous as Catholics dividing and doing a disservice to the Church.

I believe Hehir and Cardinal O'Malley have made major strides in bringing Marxism with their Caritas Christi debacle complete with contracts with abortionists. With a few heroic exceptions, Catholic apostolates refused to cover the story and then hailing O'Malley as a hero in the abortion arrangements. Everyone in the trenches knows that Hehir and O'Malley are two peas in a pod. O'Malley, like Obama, talks out of both sides of his mouth to keep Rome confused about what is really happening.

But, everything that is done in the darkness is eventually revealed by the Holy Spirit. And, in the meantime, we can be encouraged by those speaking out clearly against the injustices and malfeasance:

Father Z has a great post up containing the recent comments of Archbishop Burke about the quasi-canonization of Ted Kennedy in Boston and its confusing effects upon discernment and decision making.

Everyone knows who Archbishop Burke is speaking about.

Fr. Z quotes Archbishop Burke:
"The Church’s unity is founded on speaking the truth in love," he said. "This does not destroy unity but helps to repair a breach in the life of the Church."


I think the Marxists at the Kennedy School of Government believed that the infiltration of Marxist ideology into Catholic education had done it's job and it was time for the takeover. In nine months of the Obama Administration, they're about halfway towards their goal.

But, the people are awakening from the trance. We are in an intellectual battle for the soul of our nation. The mobs are organizing and pushing back. The Marxists are in full retreat.

Let's continue to unravel their logic, shall we?

Relentlessly.

The good and kind shepherd has his place in the battle. The hardnosed Fox has their place in the battle. Quite frankly, I think they are responsible for saving our hides from a swift takeover. The sarcastic Fr. Z has his place in the battle. The prayer warriors have their place in the battle.

Let's all take our places and advance.

Let freedom ring.

Worthy is the Lamb.

"In landing operations, retreat is impossible, to surrender is as ignoble as it is foolish. above all else remember that we as attackers have the initiative, we know exactly what we are going to do, while the enemy is ignorant of our intentions and can only parry our blows. We must retain this tremendous advantage by always attacking rapidly, ruthlessly, viciously, and without rest."
~George Patton.

Obama and the Media have parted ways

The president of the United States used the Sunday morning talk shows to broadly scold the news media for playing up what he called "rude" and "outrageous" political comments,


The last eight years of rude and outrageous political comments were entertaining. Now? Not so much.

The president was evidently agitated by the coverage the media have given to stories that sprouted as a result of Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., shouting, "You lie," at Obama during his health care address to a joint session of Congress more than a week ago. Coverage of the outburst seemed to overshadow coverage of Obama's health care plan itself, and later evolved into coverage of racial controversy after several prominent Democrats, including former President Jimmy Carter, claimed critics like Wilson were racially motivated.


I don't think he's talking about Jimmy Carter and Bill Maher's rude and outrageous political comments.

He's frustrated that every time he tries to take a stab at leadership, it's thwarted with outrageous rhetoric.

Boo hoo.

Mittens Was For Bank Bailouts Before He Was Against It

Mitt Romney can 't seem to keep his stories straight.

So, for example, these Romney remarks from Saturday morning stood out.

"When government is trying to take over health care, buying car companies, bailing out banks, and giving half the White House staff the title of czar -- we have every good reason to be alarmed and to speak our mind!"

Most of this is garden-variety nonsense/pandering. It's not exactly shocking to learn that Romney is more than willing to play the role of hack to impress the Republican Party's base.

But Romney, in February*, said bailing out banks was "necessary to prevent a cascade of bank collapses. For free markets to work, there has to be a currency and a functioning financial system."

Perhaps he's changed his mind. Perhaps he's been unimpressed with the ways in which the banking system has been stabilized.

Or, more likely, Romney thinks this is what right-wing activists want to hear, so he'll disregard his own beliefs and previous statements to score a few points with the Teabagging crowd.

Andrew Sullivan added, "There's something quite refreshing about his open refusal to have any principles, or even to worry about the slightest consistency between one statement and the next."

It's Groucho Marx. Those are his principles. If you don't like them - he has others.

I just saw a clip of Mittens on Fox. He's as wooden as ever.

Doug Kmiec: Make Up Your Own Catechism

In an interview with The Times of Malta, Kmiec recounts how he became an Obama supporter.

"Even though there were areas of disagreement, Mr Obama pointed out the responsibility of government to provide a family wage, to care for the environment and to provide healthcare for the uninsured," he said.

"When I thought about all these things, I thought 'this is my catechism come to life' because we are called to each of these things in the social teachings of the Church," he added.

Few people could promote a man whose policies foster killing infants and call it their catechism come to life.

Shame on him.


Kmiec also told The Times of Malta of a conversation he had about abortion with Obama.

He said Obama asked him something like, "What would cause a mother to contemplate taking the life of a child? It has to be something awful. It has to be a woman without shelter, without insurance, without the next meal on the table."


These kinds of situations make up a tiny fraction of a woman contemplating an abortion.

When are Catholics going to grab this malarkey and speak the truth.

Most abortions are contemplated after an episode of promiscuity. A woman is in a relationship, she thinks the man loves her because of the intimacy he expresses and seeks, the relationship turns sexual and she finds out he loves her... not so much.

Abortions are a product of Kinsey sex ed and irresponsible men who won't step up to the plate when they get a woman pregnant?

Kmiec also told the newspaper he has encouraged Obama to become pro-life and recalls how he told him, "How can you allow someone to terminate another person's life? What moral authority do you have for that?"

Obama replied: "Well, professor, not everyone sees life beginning in the same way. The Methodists see it differently, the Jewish faith in part sees it differently."

"If I am elected President," he told Kmiec, "I am President of all these people."


The argument is not about when life begins. It's about proactively taking measures to interfere in the life process once it has begun. In this country, we can't destroy the fertilized egg of an eagle because the cycle of life once it begins is federally protected. We want the same for children.

(Tip of the hat to K!)

what a gorgeous day!

Off to have dinner with a prolife friend and confidant down the Cape (at the magificent Eastward Ho Golf Club ) before he goes South for the Winter.

I hear they're working on the Bourne Bridge and traffic coming and going has been a nightmare all weekend.

Hope you've enjoyed this gorgeous Fall weekend as much as I have. (even though the sun shining through the windows is reminding us that they need to be cleaned in the not too distant future!)

Obama is so nice.

The Obama Administration has lifted communication restrictions for the shoebomber.

This summer the Justice Department halted six years of measures that kept Reid from associating or praying with fellow jailed Muslim terrorists, and limited his access to the news media and pen pals.
Isn't that special. Obama thought cutting the shoebomber off from his pen pals, fans and fellow jailed terrorists was something they were spent time and efforts on to help the terrorist.

This is the new nice.

An emotional Hermis Moutardier, one of the flight attendants who thwarted Reid’s botched shoe bombing and was injured by the hulking terrorist, reacted with anger upon learning the news from the Herald by phone Friday.

“What’s wrong with our system?!” cried Moutardier, 54, who lives in Florida and still works as a flight attendant. “I am concerned about the safety of my country, my fellow citizens, my children, the public buildings, that’s my concern.”


What's wrong with the system?

The country elected Barack Hussein, and the guy didn't even have to produce his birth certificate when his Nana and relatives were caught saying Nana attended Barack Hussein's birth in Kenya. He used the corrupt ACORN and passed out opiates to get elected. He's built a cabinet outside of Congressional approval, appointed the most ideologically radical socialists and communists and called them "czars". He's taken over our banks, mortgage industry, GM and Chrystler and wants the healthcare industry.

That's what happened to "the system".

The excuse for this administrative treason is that the shoebomber, you see, is..well..how do you say...he's not the sharpest tool in the shed.

He seems to be able to keep outwitting the government which is a frightening thing for mainstream America.

Obama has run into a bump on the road in the politics of dope.

When he said he was going to give free healthcare to 50 million more people and get the money for it by shaving Medicare - and appointed a government official to review the decisions made by seniors, their family and doctors to come up with that money, everyone not smoking pot and busy with Cialis immediately realized that he was going to get the money by refusing lifesaving care to seniors.

Lifting restrictions upon terrorists is something that was even a meme in Barack's election noise. He was quite vocal about making our heroic armed forces the boogeymen and was quite clear about wanting to empty out Guantanamo of all the persecuted terrorists. He's investigating the CIA.

I watched a bit of Obama and George Stephanopolis this morning. The new nice veneer is starting to crack. The rage and bitterness is starting to surface under the smile. The interview is a must see. Don't miss looks on the face of George Stephanopolis, who by all accounts is a liberal. George is no longer a fan. Obama is losing the people who elected him.

By the way, with George this morning, Obama philisophically is still trying to sell the notion that the American people are already paying for people who show up and get free care and this is burdening the system. Realistically, all you have to do is start insisting people produce the passport and social security number. Take the panels that were going to review the healthcare decisions made between doctors and seniors and use them to run the information of people seeking free healthcare through homeland security. The millions illegal aliens putting a burden on the system would all but vanish. Once American's stop paying for benefits for illegals, we may find all the money we need to reform healthcare.

The folks occupying the White House are terrorist sympathizers. The tiny pocket of American's who are terrorist sympathizers are not enough to sustain Obama's political power. The American people are not on board the new nice.

Aide Now Admits Edwards Sired the Child

Surprise, surprise.

The New York Times said the book proposal by former Edwards aide Andrew Young states he helped facilitate the affair between Edwards and Rielle Hunter. According to the newspaper, Young wrote that Edwards once told Hunter they would wed after Edwards' wife, who has cancer, died.

Edwards told Hunter that the ceremony would be held on a rooftop in New York and the Dave Matthews Bands would make an appearance, the newspaper said, citing its examination of the book proposal.

Michelle Thinks Women Are Not Truly Equal

How many chips on the shoulder does this woman have?


Speaking to women's groups at the White House on Friday, the first lady said concern over the country's health care system "wakes her up at night." She described reform as "very much a women's issue" and said the current system is preventing women from obtaining "true equality."

Society owes women free insurance or they're not equal to men?

Lose the belt girl. It's cutting off oxygen to the brain.


Mike Huckabee Wins 2012 Straw Poll

Political fans will remember that Romney rigged these early straw polls in the 2008 election but the 2012 grassroots is going to give Romney a run for his money.




In a telling, but non-scientific, survey of the Republican Party’s social conservative base, former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-Ark.) won the 2009 Values Voter straw poll with a 28 percent plurality of the vote. Five-hundred and ninety-seven people voted. In October 2007, former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-Mass.) won the first straw poll held by this young event, a controversial result skewed by online voting by people who didn’t attend the conference.


This year, everyone was ready for Romney's tricks. Only people registered and present were able to vote and Huckabee came out in front (28%) of Romney (12%).

Huckabee's speech left Romney on the defense.

"In fact, the only thing inexpensive about Massachusetts' health care bill is that there, you can get a $50 abortion," Huckabee said, drawing instant pushback from the Romney camp.

I hope Romney knows this time to stay out of a race he'll never get grassroots support for.

Terrorist Caught in New York

Dozens in terror cell were congregating in New York.

He looks exactly like you'd expect a terrorist to look.

Quite frankly, this is a country taking soap and lotions from Nana and Bumpy in the airport and permitting 50,000 people who look just like this cretin assemble in Washington to "worship" Allah.

If you ask me, September 25 is a good day to hightail it out of Washington D.C. and visit New England.

What a pretty (and fun) town. The downtown area is filled with antique and funky shops set up in old buildings - very quaint and New Englandy. We're heading back there this morning and then off to Rockport to enjoy this gorgeous weekend.

Anyhoo, the Pope has put the kibosh on the idea that laity are going take over for the shrinking priesthood:

The Holy Father began his address to the Brazilian prelates by pointing out the difference between the identity of priests and the laity. While the lay faithful share in the "common priesthood," they are not ordained ministers of Christ and His Church. "Hence," the Pope cautioned, "it is important to avoid the secularization of clergy and the 'clericalization' of the laity."

Pope Benedict has also, no doubt, confused many the rector as American seminaries:


Fulfilling the lay vocation, he explained, involves working to "give expression in real life - also through political commitment - to the Christian view of anthropology and the social doctrine of the Church."

On the other hand, "priests must distance themselves from politics in order to favor the unity and communion of all the faithful, thus becoming a point of reference for everyone," Benedict said

.

Teach the Catechism with valor, honor and fidelity and everyone in the congregation will know how to distinguish rights from wrongs and make their choices accordingly.

When dioceses are faced with a lack of priests, the Pope emphasized that they should not resort to "a more active and abundant participation of the laity" since it could take away from their own calling.

"The truth is that the greater the faithful's awareness of their own responsibilities within the Church, the clearer becomes the specific identity and inimitable role of the priest as pastor of the entire community, witness to the authenticity of the faith, and dispenser of the mysteries of salvation in the name of Christ the Head," Benedict XVI stated.

"The function of the clergy is essential and irreplaceable in announcing the Word and celebrating the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist," he insisted, saying that for this reason it is "vital to ask the Lord to send workers for His harvest; and it is necessary that priests express joy in their faithfulness to their identity."

Looking to the future, the Pope made it clear that "the shortage of priests must not come to be considered as a normal or typical state of affairs."

Sadly, prelates are blind to the cause of declining enrollment in the priesthood. It is not a safe place to send your son and so mothers point their children in another direction. The Bishops and Cardinals are spiritually sick and abusers of all kinds are in control. The sickness of the cult mentality is still very much in control - all the way to the top. There is no machination to get help for a man who contracts out to kill children and lies about it in the public square. The corruption is entrenched.

Mothers are therefore not on board.

Unless and until the priesthood becomes a safe place for orthodoxy and celibacy and preaching the truths of the Church - instead of being punished for it - mothers will guide their children into other vocations.

Fr. Landry on the Kennedy Funeral

Fr. Landry seems to be rather forthright about O'Malley's latest scandal, in a subterfuge sort of way.



"The overall tone of the funeral liturgy - from the three eulogies, to the prayers of the faithful, to the homily, to the celebrity musicians, to the guest list, and to the nationally-televised gushing color commentaries - seemed to communicate that it was more a public, political apotheosis of Senator Kennedy than a humble, insistent prayer of the Church his mother for the forgiveness of his sins and the repose of his soul," writes Fr. Landry.

"This last controversy was totally avoidable; all that was necessary was to adhere to the letter and spirit of the Catholic funeral rite."

Fr. Landry also reflects in detail on "one of the most important lessons that pastors in the United States need to draw from the history of the Church's interactions with Senator Kennedy for its future engagement of other pro-abortion Catholic politicians." The lesson is that the "education-only" strategy employed by most pastors has "failed."

"Kennedy's example was so injurious to the Church," said Fr. Landry, "because the pastors of the Church, for the most part, made the imprudent call to do little or nothing about it beyond general teaching statements that they hoped offending politicians would apply to themselves."

He added: "There were no real consequences, and as a result, Senator Kennedy, scores of other Catholic politicians, and millions of American Catholic lay people concluded that the Church's teachings in defense of human life cannot be that important if those who publicly and repeatedly act in violation of it do so with impunity."


Wooh boy.

You know what comes next, don't you?

Tuning into the Cardinal's blog in the next few weeks gushing about Rose Kennedy's quote in his pocket and making oblique references to priests who use their newspapers to divide Christ's Church as if we all don't know who he is referencing.


"With Senator Kennedy's funeral, they have now grasped that even a 100% pro-abortion voting record will not only not prevent them from having a Catholic funeral, but will not even stop them from receiving possibly one of the most publicly panegyrical Catholic funerals in U.S. history. "



"Tears of a Clown"



Please.

She spends four years inciting malice and violence against conservatives and now she's crying about the climate of hostility?


She has concerns about the language being used?


She wants to balance freedom and safety?


That's what we've been saying about the freedom to kill unborn children for decades and it's been falling on her deaf ears.

I have no idea what she's talking about or where she thinks she's going with this...

Is it possible that she's talking about the bogus rhetoric that people who oppose Barack's ideas and say he is lying in the public square are racist?

The freedom to say this is horse manure and when people have ideas we don't think are healthy for the country or our children or the elderly, we have every right to say it in the public square regardless of the color of the skin of the author of the ideas -- this freedom isn't going to be curtailed in this country while we breathe. Take that back into the chambers, put in your crack pipes and smoke it.

In many ways, I share Pelosi's concern about the static in this country. I don't believe there are racial wars brewing. That is completely fabricated. There is and always will be people who are prejudice against other people. Black, white, Catholic, Protestant, Jews, women, men, rich, poor. Pelosi and her gang of thugs are using it to incite and pit people against one another.

Her crockadile tears are as asinine as Alex Rodriguez whining about the destructive culture of steroid use and womanizing in baseball.

Workplace Violence

Raymond Clark finally behind bars.

I just can't buy into the notion that Clark wasn't carrying some kind of torch for Annie Le.

Workplace violence out of nowhere, from somebody who never any history of it before and the next thing you know he's putting the coworker he killed behind a wall and his clothes in ceiling panels because the rat cage wasn't cleaned to his satisfaction?

Mr. Clark's supervisor reported that nothing in the technician's five-year work history at Yale had signaled that he was capable of violence, Yale President Richard Levin said in a statement.

"This incident could have happened in any city, in any university, or in any workplace," Mr. Levin said. "It says more about the dark side of the human soul than it does about the extent of security measures." He added that the university will be taking suggestions on how it might improve campus security.



This could happen anywhere?

I don't think so.

He's may not be telling the story, but his eyes reveal a haunted soul. Much more than painful than an explosive reaction to a conversation about his idea of lackluster performance.

The AP story says Clark considered the mice cages his fiefdom.

Perplexing.

On the commuter rail on the way home this evening a dirty and strange dude sat down and tried to engage several people around us into social banter that started normal but then proceeded into bizarre and inappropriate. I watched people around us just sink into their reading material and completely ignore the man who talked non-stop. Nobody would look up from their book or in his direction. People were somewhat intimidated and at the same time trying not to set him off.

I do think people are on edge but I don't think we have to be on our guard with griping colleagues with no history of mental instability.

I don't know, maybe it's me.

Get a Life

You can imagine the shrieks if George Bush did this:


The White House is collecting and storing comments and videos placed on its social-networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube without notifying or asking the consent of the site users, a failure that appears to run counter to President Obama's promise of a transparent government and his pledge to protect privacy on the Internet.


Um...excuse us, but aren't these the same people who were offended when Bush was listening to terrorist chatter in Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran?

They're making lists of who puts clown noses on Barack's face are they?

Knock yourselves out.

ACORN agrees to help smuggle 13 year old prostitutes

ACORN worker agrees to help smuggle girls through Tijuana. As soon as the clip goes up, I'll post it.

The War in Afghanistan will Hoist Obama with his own Petard

It appears the President is going to escalate the war in Afghanistan.

100% increase in the number of troops.

Add this to our salvos for 2012...The Pope is against war.

I can see it now....Joan Chittister and Bishop Gumbleton, Bryan Hehir, the Woodstock generation have to eat their words.

Checkmate!

FOX is kicking Butt!!

ACORN is toast!!

We want to see the books. The money.

Michelle Malkin has email exchanges that seem to incriminate team Obama and his election.

Let's ride the wind kiddies!!!

Obama Distances Himself from Whitey Race Riots

I wasn't surprised by Maher but I didn't realize Jimmy Carter was this whacky.

How do these luminaries explain that a good number of people who oppose Barack are supportive of Alan Keyes?

Claiming decent people who oppose the President's socialism, bankrupting the country and deliberately giving out misinformation is based are racists is a deliberate intimidation tactic and beneath contempt.

The President has already played the race card and it was a political disaster. (I still say the President and Gates wrongful accusations against Officer Crowley was the beginning of the long decline down the hill for Obama).

He's going to keep his distance from calling the crackers "racists".

It's backfiring in mainstream America.

One Night Stand - How to Do It Right

The Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows~September 15th

Had a rough start today.

When I pulled into the Commuter rail station today, there was a dead train sitting there. That backed up the commute, the train was crowded and when I got to South Station - I was dead smack in front of the train that crashed into the platform today. I'm not exaggerating when I say I was between the headlights about twenty feet from the front of the train.

In between the broken train, the replacement with every inch of space taken up with bodies breathing on top of each other and the crash at South Station, I made the mistake of opening the nutty Metro "newspaper" and reading it.

I didn't get very far before I came across this little featured story: One Night Stand, How to Do It Right

Here's their enticing lead in:

If you are a pro, a beginner or just a wisher and dreamer, our guide will show you the ‘ins and outs’ of the etiquette of bedding down for a night so that all parties involved walk away with a smile and maybe even a fantasy fulfilled

Yeah. Who among us after a job loss or experiencing the death of a good friend doesn't fantasize about guys who want to bed you down and walk away.

Nothing more attractive than these heroes of chicken soup for the soul.

In the right kind of environment, you might even be able to say, with a cheeky grin, “Let’s have sex and never see each other again.”

It is humanly impossible for rational and healthy women to detach from their emotions when they are expressing love and joy they are giving sexually.

Sexuality IS the expression of a woman's emotions. Women out cruising for one-night stands are expressing repressed rage, bitterness, anger, problems with self-esteem, mental and emotional stability.

An article like this is a crime against humanity because it is taking advantage of unstable people. Instead of being a healing force, a source of light and goodness to people who experienced a trauma that desensitized their emotions, you ambush them at a low moment and tell them they can find sexual joy with a cad who will physically and sexually abuse them and walk out the door with a smile on their face?


Because this person doesn’t know you so well, use it as an opportunity to experiment: Be a little kinkier, whatever that means for you. Perhaps it’s role-playing and spanking. But if you’re going to attempt any dirty talk, never demand, “Say my name,” just in case the other person already forgot it (awkward). Also, never let a stranger tie you up (duh).

That said, remember that condoms can’t always protect you from everything (including a fibbing stranger), so don’t be surprised if you wake up with a case of herpes a few weeks from now.


If you're looking for more tips on how to join the sluts, the two individuals who authored this article have apparently have a book and a website.

Taking advantage of somebody whose self-esteem is this low is beneath somebody who beats a drunk in a wheelchair or robs a corpse.

A new low in journalism.

Prayer to Our Lady of Sorrows
By St. Bridget

O Blessed Virgin Mary, Immaculate Mother of God, who didst endure a martyrdom of love and grief, beholding the sufferings and sorrows of Jesus! Thou didst co-operate in the benefit of my redemption by thy innumerable afflictions and by offering to the Eternal Father His only-begotten Son as a holocaust and victim of propitiation for my sins. I thank thee for the unspeakable love which led thee to deprive thyself of the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus, true God and true Man, to save me, a sinner. Oh! make use of the unfailing intercession of thy sorrows with the Father and the Son. that I may steadfastly amend my life and never again crucify my loving Redeemer by new sins; arid that, persevering till death in His grace, I may obtain eternal life through the merits of His Cross and Passion. Amen.

Mother of love, of sorrow, and of mercy, pray for us.

Prayer to Christ
