Um...

DUH.

I Really Don't Like Barack Obama

There is really nothing more to this post.

He just really gets on my nerves.

Pictured: The President and I (but with more love)

Update: This also annoys me.

Archbishop Burke is a Beast

Even FoxNews noticed it.

Oh, and the 57% a Catholics that support Barack Obama's work so far are making the rest of us look bad. That needs to be stopped.

OMG Does This Really Exist!?!?

 "The Truth" by Painter Michael D'Antuono

which will be unveiled on President Obama's 100th Day in Office at NYC's Union Square.

The Liberals are done with being subtle.

UPDATE: Apparently someone knocked some sense into this guy

But I Don't Want to Join a Youth Brigade...

Obama is up to some crazy stuff.

I am not a fan of Obama making me choose between my religion and education. That hardly seems Constitutional. 

America's Losing

In a recent survey of Americans, something not so wonderful was discovered. Within one generation, the amount of Americans that consider themselves Christian has dropped 11 percent with now 15 percent of Americans are claiming no religion at all!

The caption below the picture at Damian Thompson's article on the study says it all:

"Many Americans worship themselves."

Even the British can see it.

 Americans (as a generalization) have become so self-obsessed that the dignity and security of the country is now in peril. Take, for example, the large percentage of people that stated the "economy" was their number one issue this past election. Now, obviously there must be some who considered it a top issue because of their compassion for the poor right? Maybe. But most likely the majority of those voting by the economy are doing so because of their own 401Ks. I'll give it to them - money is important. But it shouldn't be anyone's number one concern - especially considering all the social ramifications this election had (health care, abortion, embryonic stem cell research, education, immigration, etc...). Could Americans have voted more selfishly?

With a growing number of non-religious (outnumbering, as Thompson points out, every religious group besides Catholics and Baptists - although both are losing members) what does the future of religion in America look like?

Probably a lot like the picture on the left. {source}

It reminds me of that Casting Crowns song:

"America, what will we miss while we are sleeping? Will Jesus come again and leave us slumbering where we lay? America, will we go down in history as a nation with no room for its King?"

Hat tip to AmP for his blog of this story.

Sad Day

It's a sad day for anyone looking to protect life and find cures.

Obama has legalized embryonic stem cell research. These cells are known for producing nothing but trouble and tumors while destroying newly formed human beings.

May lead to more abortions

What Choice?

Obama is continuing on his rampage against life with this new bit of news (although not so new as it was easily predicted by about everyone in the pro-life community). 

Not shockingly, Obama is looking to remove Bush-era laws that would protect doctors who refuse to do abortions because of religious or moral reasons. Obama says they have NO. CHOICE.

The most interesting statement released concerning this is:

"This policy of potentially allowing providers to refuse to provide contraception or family planning runs counter to the [Obama] administration's goal of reducing abortions and unwanted pregnancies," the official said. {source}

Basically, refusing to do abortions leads to more abortions, at least according to this logic.

SAY WHAT?

Wouldn't doctors who opt out of infanticide REDUCE the number of abortions by reducing the number of physicians willing to perform the operation? Obviously, that basic truth would not flow with Obama's bogus plan to "reduce the number of abortions." After all, this lie is how he won a lot of (uninformed) Catholics.

My hope for today.....is non-existent. What to do now?

Hope in Montana

A while back I reported on the passage of the Personhood Amendment in North Dakota...

...and now I have equally pleasing news to report out of Montana.

The Personhood Amendment, which states, "All persons are born free and have certain inalienable rights," and clarifies that "person means a human being at all stages of human development of life, including the state of fertilization or conception, regardless of age, health, level of functioning, or condition of dependency" has been passed in a 26-24 vote in the State Senate, according to LifeSiteNews.

There is still hope in the pro-life cause, despite the recent HHS nomination of Gov. Sebelius by President Obama.

One day all people will be recognized as people - even if we have to fight one state at a time. That's how the early feminists received their right to vote, so it works. So we should keep pressing on until every American is considered an American, every human considered a human, and every person considered a person. 

Remember - no compromises!!

The Red Envelope Project

I stumbled upon this neat little project on Facebook the other day. I think it is a phenomenal idea that has the potential to truly affect our President - that is if only enough people can get involved. 

The idea is to send empty red envelopes to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. with the following message written on the back:

This envelope represents one child who died in abortion. It is empty because that life was unable to offer anything to the world. Responsibility begins with conception.

I think that if enough of these are sent, MAYBE our President will hear the will of the people to stop the slaughter of the innocents. Maybe...

You can read more about it here.

Hope

It's probably not news to anyone that Obama has already "taken care of" the Mexico City Policy, a policy that would keep American taxpayers from funding abortion overseas. (WTF?!) Apparently, Mr. President thinks that, in this time of economic crisis, we should be giving all our money away to foreign countries so they can kill their own children. Brilliant plan to get us out of this recession, huh?

Of course, us pro-lifers are OBSESSED with getting it reinstated.

I've always loved the Susan B. Anthony list and everything they do (and they do A LOT). So it's no wonder that they are all over this MCP.

The hope for today:

This letter writing campaign works and the MCP is reinstated.

Wiggling Away

Obama vs. the Vatican: Fight to the Death (or for the death...of the unborn)

Prison rules apply.

In one of his first acts as President, Obama has done something Martin Luther would gravely warn against: tick off the Pope.

"I don't think President Obama is looking for a fight but I think he's certainly going to get one as he wiggles away from issues that are very important to the church," said the Very Rev. David O'Connell, president of the Catholic University of America. {source}

Does this statement make anyone else picture our wonderful new president somewhat like the snake in the Garden of Eden....wiggling away...?

"I'm sure for many Catholics who supported Obama because they believed in his words to do everything he could to reduce abortions, this comes as a disappointment, and even a betrayal to some," he said

Thanks, FoxNews, also for this epic juxtaposition:
