Unfortunately way too many Catholics never stopped to think about of the ramifications of Obamas view on abortion and how it would permeate his every action. I am glad the Bishop called him out.The key word is “imaginary” and you have a very vivid imagination. I’d clear it with the Bishop before putting words into his mouth.
Rich : That WAS the Bishops words.The key word is “imaginary” and you have a very vivid imagination. I’d clear it with the Bishop before putting words into his mouth.
I can’t stand to watch him either.
Err… You said it was an imaginary conversation. If it was an actual conversation, when did he and O get together to chew the fat? Since Tucson?
Sure, I can understand that, but I listen, in addition to Dem politicians, to GOP politicians to hear what they have to say. I may not agree with them (the usual situation
) but one never knows when one might actually say something valuable and worth hearing. I see no point in shutting my ears to anyone.Has someone asked you to do so?Sure, I can understand that, but I listen, in addition to Dem politicians, to GOP politicians to hear what they have to say. I may not agree with them (the usual situation
Do you do things only when someone asks or tells you to do them? I hope not.
applauding the revision above.Do you do things only when someone asks or tells you to do them? I hope not.
It’s my belief that everyone has something to say, sometimes worthwhile, and I see no point in not, at least, listening. I may learn something from them - and, to be sure, maybe not.
Quoting the president’s words, Tobin pondered** how** Obama’s praise of childhood innocence, embodied in 9-year-old shooting victim Christina Taylor Green**, clashed** with his disregard for even smaller children put to death every day in the womb.
Rich, every breathe we take is owing to our life. All rights flow from this. We, therefore, have every right to point out the glaring hypocrisy in a man who thinks to speak and breathe freely while denying others that same right.
He was not making a speech about abortion. He was speaking about the Tucson tragedy with compassion, civility, and understanding. I see no hypocrisy in offering that comfort to the victims and their survivors.
And therein lies the problem. An attempt to separate a man’s enthusiastic support of the slaughter of 1.2 million children from his other duties. The point the Bishp is making is his support of this evil so permeates everything he does that he has no moral credibility to lead. His support of abortion affects everything he does so your idea that we ignore his stance on abortion other than when he was speaking on abortion is specious. Not an hour of any day should go by when this man is not called out for the evil he supports. Anytime this man utters a word about proposed solutions to the nation’s problem people need to be reminded of his moral bankruptcy. It is high time that we, especially Catholics, quit supporting in any way shape or form people who enabled this evil to continue in our country. People, especially elected officials, who support abortion should be treated as pariahs.He was not making a speech about abortion. He was speaking about the Tucson tragedy with compassion, civility, and understanding. I see no hypocrisy in offering that comfort to the victims and their survivors.
In any case, you may believe what you want. I’ve made my position clear - condemn him for his abortion stance when abortion is an issue in a speech, but not otherwise.
Else, what? Condemn him for his position on abortion when he is asked about his opinion of the Super Bowl?
You would disregard his opinion on who will win the Super Bowl, on that basis, it seems, given that his support of abortion affects everything he does. Oh, well.
More triviaizing of the greatest moral issue facing our country today.You would disregard his opinion on who will win the Super Bowl, on that basis, it seems, given that his support of abortion affects everything he does. Ah, well.
Not at all. You said, “…his support of this evil so permeates everything he does that he has no moral credibility to lead. His support of abortion affects everything he does.”
agree!
Yes again.
Obviously it does.You would disregard his opinion on who will win the Super Bowl, on that basis, it seems, given that his support of abortion affects everything he does. Oh, well.
