Dictatorial Religious Bigots Storm and Terrorize Santorum and Supporters

In his victory speech, one of the first things Gingrich talked about was the insurgence of dictatorial religious bigots in this country. Incredibly, as he was saying it, they showed up to terrorize Rick Santorum and his supporters.

As Santorum finished his speech, a group of Charleston occupiers began to shout, "Santorum, Santorum, you bigot, goodbye". The chants quickly turned into a protest where occupiers were pushing and shoving throughout the crowd.

One Occupy protester threw red glitter at Santorum and ran out of the room.

To the frustration of supporters in attendance, the occupy protesters made no friends as more entered the room and threw green and purple glitter into the air as they chanted obscenities.

Some Santorum supporters fought back, pushing an occupier's head and shouting "Get them out of here!" as protesters were forced outside of the watch party.

A source with the Occupy movement said the attack was planned at the very last minute saying they "couldn't resist."

Their plan was to chant "Santorum, Santorum, You Bigot, Goodbye." In the tune of the song 'Na Na Na Goodbye.'


Yeah? Well don't count on it pal. On exit polling, seven out of ten Gingrich voters said religious freedom drove them to the polls. The margin of votes, the counties historically won. I think something just happened.

Gingrich is the only one with the audacity to talk about these Philistines in the public square. To name it, say we're not going to take what you're doing to our country sitting down.

He's got the slingshot loaded and he is firing, hitting them right between the eyes. Stunning them. He is exactly what we need for this time in our country's history.

Somewhere in his past, he's slept around. Ok. But since that time, he's converted to the Catholic Church. He has access to the Sacraments of the Catholic Church. And, it's as clear as the nose on your face that the Holy Spirit is manifesting Himself through him.

Did the Democrats let that stop Ted Kennedy, even when he drove a woman off of a bridge and swam away rather than try to save her life?

Of course not. They loved him. Believed in redemption. Knew the power they needed him for, and he his career went on.

Fifty-four million babies are dead. Our country is stewing in the sour fruit. Anarchy and religious bigotry is being characterized as political heroism.

There are many blacks here in Boston who sympathized with the "occupy" message, tried to join.

You know what happened? It became clear the 'occupy' movement was loaded with racial bigots. Many black leaders spoke out about it here in Boston. Next time they show up, check it out. All mad whiteys. And, I mean 'mad' in every conceivable way. This anarchist movement has nasty underpinnings.

Coming home from work the other day,something red caught my eye on the periphery of my vision above a store window. It was a confederate flag. People are putting symbols of ethnic cleansing in their windows under the guise the citizens of this country will protect it as freedom.

And, the scary thing is, if we don't pounce on this chance to stop the anarchy, maybe they will.

Romney was an enemy of religious freedom in his tenure in Massachusetts. He is the author of Obamacare. He is the author of forcing Catholics to pay for abortions and hand out abortifacients. He is the author of gay marriage. We cannot vote for Romney, come what may. Because what we would be doing is endorsing 40 years of the GOP paying off people like Anne Fox of MCFL to say this IS the prolife agenda. (Shame on her!)

Paul is crazy.

Rick Santorum is a good guy. I would love to see him politically flourish. It is despicable the prolife movement didn't get behind him. But it is what it is and he is too meek to fight this kind of battle. We need a warrior.

It's time for Rick and Ron to bow out and for all of us to get behind Gingrich.

I Didn't Realize George Stephanopolis Was Such a Weenie.

Chastity Bono is saving up for 'penis surgery' and George Stephanopolis thinks people who marry the people they sleep with and don't use contraception strange?

Got to love the audacity of the beautiful people running to Whole Foods to avoid estrogen and progesterone in their meat and dairy products while brainwashing women to be promiscuous and take pills loaded up with carcinogens for sex.

These folks are worried about Mountain Dew?

This is captivating!

Salon has issued a call for the sex therapists to examine the strange phenomenon of the people who refuse to lower cultural standards on morality and virtue to theirs.



We ask political historians and sex therapists alike to explain ramping-up GOP anti-sex rhetoric...

Anti-sex rhetoric is hardly new to the Republican Party, of course, which has routinely campaigned to increase the dangers and consequences of sex by restricting access to contraceptives and abortion. But the GOP war on sex also comes at a time when the party’s presidential candidates have perhaps never been more out of step with the sexual beliefs and practices of most Americans.

“The private sexual behavior of all ages, of all political persuasions is getting more liberal,” says Marty Klein, a sex therapist and author of “America’s War on Sex.” “It’s going toward more variety, more partners, more kinky sex, more experimentation and, as the age of first marriage goes up, by definition the amount of premarital sex is going up.” Indeed, “the vast majority of Americans have sex before marriage,” according to a Guttmacher study, and most believe that out-of-wedlock nookie is morally a-OK.

Even as we increasingly disown notions of procreative marital sex as the only legitimate form of sexual experience, “the public policy around sexuality is getting more conservative, more draconian,” aside from tremendous progress within the gay rights movement, says Klein. “That schizophrenia has been in evidence since the day that George Bush took office — you could even say since the day that Bill Clinton was impeached.”


Wait. I don't get it...Was the revelry for the sexual freedom of women the day Bill Clinton put cigars where the sun doesn't shine?

There's a sucker born every minute. I have always had the morbid curiousity to know whether it was lit. I cannot imagine how low a woman's self-esteem has to be to turn the powerful gift of her sexuality into a receptacle for semen, much less for cigars, cigarettes, bondage and 'kinky sex'.

Knock yourselves out.

But there are and always will be men and women who accept the standards of the Divine gift of sexuality and will use it within the limitations of that gift. Most of us go through the some gauntlet of misuse of that gift before the witness of men and women reserving and preserving the sanctity of human sexuality teaches us its beauty and power. If a George Stephanoplis or Diane Sawyer asks questions, they're going to get the answers. You don't want to hear it, don't ask and we won't tell.

But let us have the decency and the courage to call them out on their anti-Catholic bigotry, as Newt did last night. I would love to see a Gingrich/Santorum ticket.

If George and Diane are willing to go along with the charade of calling a woman growing a beard and having a penis sewn onto herself a 'man', refer to her as 'he' and 'him', we can insist on having boundaries set on respecting people who reserve their sexuality in virtues and gratitude and respect for the Giver of that precious and powerful gift.

We don't have to put up with religious bigotry and really, we shouldn't. It's unconstitutional. This is our country. We live here. Our children and grandchildren live here. We owe it to them and to God to speak up, whether convenient or inconvenient. Whether its liked or its lumped.

Blessed Feast of the Epiphany.

Support Santorum (75% do NOT Support Romney!)

Nobody has a crystal ball in who the nominee will be, but judging from the support on the level of the grassroots voters, I wholeheartedly agree with Gingrich that the Mittens will NOT be the nominee.

When there are legitimate prolifers in a political race and it looks like they could actually win, why, in the Name of Christ, would a group get together to go out of their way to endorse a proabort?

Massachusetts Prolife Advocates say Romney is Prolife

Look, of course they have to 'say' it, because when we all look at Romneys record, it isn't 'prolife' at all. They've got to take the same positions they oppose with Obama and then claim they believe those positions to be 'prolife'.

This is political suicide.

If those positions are 'prolife' when Romney takes them, they are 'prolife' when Obama takes them.

This is the reason why prochoice candidates keep defeating prolifers.

They've taken a couple of things and given them a good spin, but here's everything you need to know about whether Romney is 'prolife'.

1. Romney said that he does not favor a federal constitutional amendment banning abortion, but instead favors each state deciding for itself whether to allow abortion or not. (Suppose Lincoln had taken that approach on the slavery issue. )

2. Gov. Romney signed into law a universal health insurance plan that (a) includes increased state-funded abortions, and (b) names Planned Parenthood in the law as an overseer. Romney never challenged any of that.

3. Romney said he would disagree with governmental intervention in the Terri Schiavo forced starvation case, adding "I think it's probably best to leave these kinds of matters in the hands of the courts."

4. Gov. Romney forced Catholic hospitals in Massachusetts to dispense the "morning after" pill.

5. Romney said he does not object to stem cell research using left over human embryos.

6. Although Romney vetoed pro-abortion legislation after his "conversion", it always appeared to be for political effect. The Legislature always overrode the vetoes. We never saw Romney exert any substantial effort to get his vetoes
sustained

Romney's current view on abortion appears to be based more on a procedural stance than a moral view and is not necessarily a pro-life view.

Instead of focusing on the moral case against abortion, Romney has repeatedly stated he wants the people to vote on this issue, which, in of in itself is not a pro-life position unless you also agree to use your position to pass pro-life legislation. But when pressed on whether he would support a constitutional amendment banning abortion, he refuses to answer this question. The National Journal (February 10, 2007) pressed him on this point:

Question:

You would favor a constitutional amendment banning abortion with exceptions for the life of the mother, rape and incest. Is that correct?

Romney:

What I've indicated is that I am pro-life, and that my hope is that the Supreme Court will give to the states over time or give to the states soon or give to the states their own ability to make their own decision with regard to their abortion law.

Question:

If a state wanted unlimited abortion?

Romney:

The state would fall into restrictions that had been imposed at the federal level, so they couldn't be more expansive in abortion than currently exists under the law, but they could become more restrictive in abortion provisions. So states like Massachusetts could stay like they are if they so desire, and states that have a different view could take that course. And it would be up to the citizens of the individual states. My view is not to impose a single federal rule on the entire nation -- a one-size-fits-all approach -- but instead allow states to make their own decisions in this regard.


On February 28, 2005 - also after his conversion - Romney said:

I am personally pro-life. However, as governor I would not change the laws of the commonwealth relating to abortion.



Anne Fox from 'Mass Citizens for Life' somehow didn't make it on the list of prolife usual suspects who endorse proaborts but, she sent out her own email endorsing the proabortion, author of obamacare and unconstitutional mandates. She's very fond of Santorum, but she wishes Romney would see his failings in prolife positions and doesn't want to fault them:

Last night a good chunk of the country joined us to watch the results of the Iowa caucuses. Of course, pro-lifers are very fond of Rick Santorum!

We in Massachusetts wish Governor Romney would recognize the failings of state-controlled health care and come up with a better way to accomplish his laudable goals but we do not fault his pro-life position.....In the last few days we have had calls at the MCFL office from operatives of other campaigns trying to get us to criticize Romney's positions on life. The governor's positions are pro-life and we feel confident that they will stay that way.


With 'prolife' operatives like this, who needs prochoice operatives?

There's a prolifer gaining momentum but we don't want him to get the nomination so let's issue a press release for the flip-floping proabort whom 75% of Repulican's won't support.

If 75% of the Republicans want anyone but Romney and the Democrats are going to vote Democrat, math and common sense should enlighten your intellect that Romney would be defeated against Obama.

Frankly, if it comes to a race where the prolifers defeat the prolifer by endorsing the proabort while the prolifers were gaining momentum -and we get stuck with Romney, my efforts are going toward getting the grassroots to sit out the election. We've got to stop feeding the beast and we are better off having everyone know Obama is a proabort. Having our own prolifers pretend Romney's position are prolife is catastrophic to our mission in the longterm.

Santorum is a real prolifer and is gaining momentum. This is the time to get behind him and put a sock in initiatives endorsing candidates whose positions are prochoice. (n.b. The hubris that Rick is against gay marriage and therefore is extreme - coming from our own voting block is blockhead. Obama is against gay marriage)

Latest news out of Iowa is saying there was a counting error and Santorum may have actually WON.

I'm praying for Santorum and I'm going to do and say all I can to support his momentum. That is what all of us should be doing until we see how the cards play out.

The GOP Line Up

Well, watching the debate this week sure was a painful experience.

I just can't get over Romney. Every time he has media coverage, he reinvents himself into somebody else. A lot of us here in Massachusetts ask where the prolife politician with a jobs plan and a great healthcare program when he was Governor. All we ever saw was a prochoicer, high unemployment and the healthcare plan he invented that is bankrupting the Commonwealth.

And how about the nastygrams flying between Romney, Perry and Santorum? Evidently, being likable isn't an attribute they think is important. I thought Rick's performance was abysmal. He was downright mean. Not a pretty sight.

Ron Paul, God Bless him...but what an odd duck.

I'll tell you something, Newt is starting to look like the best in the bunch. At least the man is affable and kind and he's with us on life.

Cain is likable, he's got some great answers but I can't figure out if it's inexperience that is making him shoot his mouth off or if he's full of crap. If he didn't have the electric fence faux pas out there earlier this week I'd be ready to say fugghetaboutit. On the one hand, I can't imagine an authentic prolifer ever saying if the situation came in their family, abortion is a choice that's up to the mother. On the other hand, he claims his conviction on abortion are no exceptions and he'll appoint judges who will protect the child's constitutional right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness - which isn't exactly going to win him a popularity context. At this point, I think we should hold our fire but I'm not ready to jump on the bandwagon yet.

In a race you'd almost have to sabotage to lose, we've got some challenges ahead of us.
