Yes, I heard about that. It was their only hit, but what a song- took up an entire side of their album.Ironically, Doug Ingle was drunk during the recording of “In the Garden of Eden” (the tracks originally intended name) and slurred the lyrics, forming In A Gadda Davida and it has become a stoners mantra. So much for alcohol not being a drug…
Or maybe he has a personal opinion. Even the Pope has personal opinions.
17 minutes in the studio version, even longer live.

Not everyone marches in lock step.I am surprised (well not really) that so many on a CATHOLIC forum would vote for Obama-the most pro-abortion president in US history.
They regularly headlined concerts in their heyday - but they were upstaged by a new band called Led Zeppelin who opened for them a few times. The lead guitarist Eric Brahn was only 17 when he played on the song. He died a few years ago.17 minutes in the studio version, even longer live.
Hopefully what a cardinal of the Church says would give us reason to pause and reflect - even if it is his own personal opinion.
I see you describe yourself as Catholic.Not everyone marches in lock step.
I have been a Democrat my whole life. Held office in the party. No ancestor of mine who could vote was ever anything but a Democrat. I don’t hate the Democrat Party. But I do hate what it has become, and there is no possibility whatever that I will support an abortion-supporting candidate. Since there have not been any prolife Democrats on my ballot for years, I do, in fact, vote Republican simply because they’re the only prolife people on the ballot.
You’re absolutely right and it’s way too soon to tell what will happen down the line. Scott Brown won Ted Kennedy’s seat in the Senate too. As the election gets closer, things may change.
The one Republican in the field who has a chance in the deep blue states of New England is Ron Paul. But, as you already pointed out, they didn’t even include him in the poll.
I’d learn how to read if I were you. Show me ONE post where I said that I am pro-abortion.I see you describe yourself as Catholic.
Being pro-abortion and being Catholic is like being a polar bear and living in the Amazon, it just doesn’t work

Absolutely! And lets not forget that one man’s personal opinion against the Democratic party does not automatically translate into a full scale Catholic Church endorsement of the Republican party! That is a leap of reasoning that has no justification.
I guess we minsuderstood-you didnt give Hillary Clintons Campign $1,000 in 2008???I’d learn how to read if I were you. Show me ONE post where I said that I am pro-abortion.
FYI, my wife was a worker in an alternatives-to-abortion clinic for years until she got burnout. I helped, acting as a taxi for women who needed rides to the clinic, to the doctors who were willing to do pro bono medicine, and acted, with others, as a bank.
So, friend, go pack it in.
Can you point out anybody that said the Catholic Church endorsed Republican Party??? We keep seeing that canard thrown around, but the only people that say that is Democrat Catholics trying to rationalize their support of their party.
I did indeed. I considered her overall to be the best qualified candidate to be President. That doesn’t say that I am** pro**-abortion.
I’ll support any politician who supports women-centered approaches to ending abortion, whether he or she is a Democrat or a Republican. I don’t like the current GOP approach, because I believe they don’t really care about saving women at all.
Then have not followed the politics of abortion at all since roe V wade was imposed.
“they” don’t care about savingn women at all? Can you explain what you mean here? What do you think motivates Rick Santorum?
There are no posts that say that because you are not pro-abortion. I still maintain, though, that supporting pro-abortion rights candidates (with money or votes) is tantamount to enabling and abetting the abortion industry indirectly - even if you didn’t vote for or support the candidate because of their abortion stance. Your $$ contribution to the pro-abortion rights Hillary Clinton is a strange and ironic (and incongruous) backdrop to your admirable grassroots support for crisis pregnancy centers. I am baffled as to how you reconcile the two. I know you’ll say - “but the GOP would ruin the country” etc. I still don’t understand given the facts, how you justify it. I do recognize that in your heart of hearts, you think you’re doing the right thing.I did indeed. I considered her overall to be the best qualified candidate to be President. That doesn’t say that I am** pro**-abortion.
If that doesn’t satify you about my motives for supporting her,
P.S. “Show me ONE post where I said that I am pro-abortion” still holds.
