Parenting 101: Don’t bring home a corpse for your kids to play with.

Colmes was right; Santorum is a weirdo.

Now THAT was sensitive of you!!! :eek:

Santorum’s dead child is NOT a toy for kids to play with. Nor did Santorum ever imply that him and his kids PLAYED with his dead poor child. Believe it or not, some folks would consider that child part of the family and would want the rest of the kids to meet their too-soon-dead brother. Remember-----that was a child that was BORN and LIVED two days.
That is disgusting and vile what you are suggesting. Sorry.
Shame on you. Shame.

Sweet Jesus. :(🤷

Through the prayers of the Mother Of God, have mercy on us and save us. Amen. :signofcross:

Nobody, except Colmes, said they played with the baby’s body. It was no doubt a solemn, sad, very personal experience for the family. Planning to vote for Barry again are you?

Colmes is a stooge but, to his credit, he did call Senator Santorum and apologized. Santorum accepted the apology. Since he is the one harmed, we should too.

I know several people who have sat with/held their stillborn child. Frankly, it seems to me to be normal behavior. It is only the pro-abort crowd who would think otherwise.

Even the famous late term murderer abortionist, Tiller (God rest his soul) had a funeral chapel for his victims so the mothers who wished, could have a funeral of sorts for their children. Holmes would never criticize Tiller and his ilk. Such is the bizarre state of current affairs.

Tiller also burned the bodies and the ashes would come out of the funnel and cover protesters. He wasn’t doing the funeral out of compassion! The babies did not deserve to die and it is NOT the same. Those babies died through deliberate abortion. Senator Santorum’s baby died naturally (prematurity I believe?)

I agree with others here that Colmes basically is the designated default liberal on Fox------one to humiliate and embarass constantly for the condescending “amusement” of the anchors and regular viewers.

I never understood why HE was chosen for that dubious position.** He really never has stood up for himself and has allowed the other commentators to define him and overwhelm him.** I know many other liberals that would actually stand up for himself/herself and be a good “contrasting” presence on the news channel. Colmes has just been a lousy representative of his particular political affiliation.

I agree with you here, especially the bolded.

Fox does have liberals that do defend themselves, like Dr. Marc Lamont Hill.

He folds under honest debate. As his comment about the baby reveals - snide childish insults are more his fare.

Juan williams is more of a true representative of the liberal viewpoint on Fox.

Yep, Colmes is a lousy liberal representative.

Indeed.

Eh, he’s a clean suit on the venomous Partisan Left constituency that runs amok in academic settings and the bowels of the Internet. He parrots the same memes they do, with the same general lack of discernment.

Juan Williams reflects those folks with liberal leanings that can still be engaged in sincere discussions from time to time.

Juan Williams doesn’t seem so liberal since he left NPR.

But they aren’t as mainstream as Colmes, in fact they are a small minority.

I’m not defending Tiller!!! He was a ghoul, I’m just saying Colmes would never have said a word against him or any of his fiendish practices.

A few thoughts:
  1. The problem of illegal immigration is not a simple one. Simply ignoring our borders won’t work. Simply building a wall won’t work. I think the primary thing to do is work to encourage reform…in the nations the illegals are coming from. If we didn’t prop up corrupt and abusive regimes in Mexico and elsewhere, perhaps those countries would improve and people would stop breaking the law to come here. The GOP talks tough on this issue, but the party establishment really doesn’t want to change the status quo. The money they get from business donors who want cheap labor means more to them. Immigration is sadly a campaign talking point (much like abortion) to rev up the base more than it is an issue they intend to tackle seriously if put into power.
  2. Santorum has other issues, that keep me from voting for him. By far the largest is the fact he endorsed and campaigned for Arlen Spectre. He put aside his professed convictions to work for a pro-abortion, pro-gun control, pro-socialism man simply because at the time there was an (R) next to his name and he was the incumbant. It was a clear case of putting party power politics above principles and saving lives. I and many others in Pennsylvania and elsewhere were greatly disappointed. Before I could consider voting for the man, I would have to hear a serious response from him on this issue- why he did what he did, is he sorry, would he do it again? I am happy to hear he is attending the TLM.
  3. I have to strongly disagree with those saying immigrants must “accept the culture” when they come here. Accepting the culture is why the Catholic Church is in such disarray in this nation. What is the American culture today- materialism, promiscuity,rebelliousness. The exact opposite of poverty, chastity, obedience. This nation started off Protestant and over the past half century has transformed into a pagan one. It’s a culture that says a mother has a basic human right to murder her own child and that marriage is a temporary arrangment of convenience. Why in the world should Catholics accept a pagan culture? We must not accept the culture. We must transform it.
Pax.

Rick Santorum has answered sufficiently why he endorsed Arlen Specter. You can probably find a more sufficient answer on the internet than my response now.

Rick Santorum stated that Arlen Specter came to him and asked for his support. He also agreed as the head man for Supreme Justice appointments he would push for confirmation on Bush appointments as long as they were not radicals. We got Alito and Roberts out of that deal.

It is probably more detailed than my simplification, but that’s why he did it.

The Bishop’s stance on illegal immigration is not part of the deposit of faith. Thus, as a faithful Catholic, he is free to disagree with it.

Short and to the point. Thank you for your brevity. 👍🙂
 
Who are “Lowry and Colmes”? I have no idea what this thread is about. :confused:

Then maybe you should actually open the link in the OP and watch the video.

The thread title, **“Fiery Debate Breaks Out Between Lowry and Colmes” ** should be self-explanatory. It’s not. Can someone please edit/clarify the thread title so people know what the thread’s about? :confused:

No they can’t because the forum rules require that the thread title be the same as the news article being cited.

Like I said, feel free to actually read the link and watch the video. Sorry that every thread can’t be fully explained in the subject and character limits imposed to titles.
