Tuscon v Ft Hood: why the disparity?

I have a little girl named Christina who is six months older than the one who was shot in Tuscon. Believe me, I grieve for her loss and that of the other innocent victims, and like the rest of America, I pray for Rep Gabrielle Giffords full recovery. FULL RECOVERY. You see, she had one serious impairment before she was shot. She did not value human life in the womb. I hope and pray that this brush with death has taught her to love life ALL life. Then she will be truly healed in body and soul. Only God can to this, and I am praying for her.

Our president sounded very good tonight, very compassionate to the victims and above the fray politically. He had moving words to say about heroes and victims and national healing. He was not finger pointing, as his friends on the left were proud to point out. And compare him to Sarah Palin, who somehow, had the entire weight of this tragedy laid on her shoulders by the left. But Obama left the name calling to his minions, and looked very presidential today, and had the crowd in the palm of his hand. No doubt his failing ratings soared today, as they were meant to.
 This is his moment to step away from the partisanship which marked his first two years in office, when he would tout, like an adolescent, I WON! Now he's a grown up. Hmmm this awakens my cynical side.

I couldn't help feeling resentful about Ft Hood, which also occurred on his watch. What did Obama do for those victims? It was former President Bush who visited the victims. Obama kept to his schedule, sounding lighthearted and ininvolved according to Robert George

Anyone at home aware of the major news story of the previous hours had to have been stunned. An incident like this requires a scrapping of the early light banter. The president should apologize for the tone of his remarks, explain what has happened, express sympathy for those slain and appeal for calm and patience until all the facts are in. That's the least that should occur. 

I noticed a completely different tone in Obama's speech tonight. And I can't help suspecting that he's using these victims to win re-election and avoid a dismantling of his agenda. 
Don't fall for it!

Taxpayers in Pennsylvania will pay for abortions under Obamacare

The Honorable Henry Hyde, God rest him, is known as a great Catholic politician. He is responsible for the Hyde Amendment which bans all Federal Funding of Abortion. Until now.
Now thanks to another so called Catholic politician, Bart Stupak, federal funds will be used to fund abortions.  Federal funding of $160 million for a so called "high risk" program will be disbursed from Obamacare to PA abortions.
Though Stupak's support for Obamacare was based on an executive order which supposedly banned the funding of abortions, pro-lifers knew it wasn't real, just a paper promise which has already been broken.
Life Site News says,

"Although an earlier version of the health care legislation prevented federal funds from subsidizing abortion, that protection was not included in the bill signed into law. Although the president's Executive Order regarding funding for abortion was touted as the solution, the White House later admitted the Order simply "reiterated" what was already in the bill. Nonetheless, the mainstream media continues to portray the Executive Order as having effectively blocked federal funds for abortion."

States may opt into this high risk pool which denies that it pays for elective abortions, but fails to define elective. It seems that the only abortions which won't be covered is sex selection abortions. IF the woman says that is why she is seeking abortion. My guess is that counselors will cleverly guide women into saying the right things to get their free abortions. Just like they do in Lila Rose's undercover films at Planned Parenthood, when minors are coached to cover up for statutory rape.

As a result, "Under the Rendell-Sebelius plan, federal funds will subsidize coverage of abortion performed for any reason, except sex selection," said NRLC's Johnson. "The Pennsylvania proposal conspicuously lacks language that would prevent funding of abortions performed as a method of birth control or for any other reason, except sex selection - and the Obama Administration has now approved this."

Don't be fooled by the coverup. If you live in the USA and pay taxes, they are about to go up. When they do, you can be sure that some of that money will be killing babies in Pennsylvania. Thanks to a Catholic politican and Catholic nuns, Sr Carol Keehan and her liberal cohorts who signed the pro-Obamacare petition.
Baby killing made possible by Catholics. Shame on us!
Sign Catholic Vote's petition. asking Sr Keehan to support the Protect Life Act. Let her redeem herself before she goes down in history as the Catholic sister who has blood on her hands.
Thankfully Archbishop Burke has been appointed to the Congregation for Divine Worship. This is the Vatican Office which will decide who may receive Communion. I would suggest to His Excellency that the beforementioned Catholics be first on his list of whom to bar from Communion.

Hard economy doesn't touch Planned Parenthood; thanks to Obama

But that is what he promised them, isn't it? Rather than making "FOCA my first priority", Obama has given nearly 1 BILLION to the abortion industry, with the largest recipient being Planned Parenthood, which is currently under criminal investigation in several states.

 "With all of the accusations of criminal conduct now circulating against PP organizations nationwide, it is unconscionable for the tax payer to be forced to foot this outrageous bill for their questionable activities," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.

Obama has accomplished FOCA by stealth on the ruins of our economy and on the backs of our children's children. Just as he promised.

Bishops slam Catholic Health Association for support of Obamacare

And in "Setting the Record Straight," as the document is titled, they affirm their teaching authority and say that dissent from episcopal teaching among Catholics, such as the endorsement of the health care reform by the Catholic Health Association, resulted "in confusion and a wound to Catholic unity."


The Catholic Health Association (CHA) came out in support of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) during the heated debate over the bill, despite the USCCB's criticism of the measure for its funding of abortion, lack of conscience protection, and other serious flaws.

The dissenting Catholics who supported Obamacare have finally been called to task. Well done, USCCB!

Time for the Tea Party to win in Massachusetts

I was recently a guest on Jeanine Nottter's "Chattin' with Jeanine" radio talk show on in Nashua NH. She mentioned Scott Brown, the Republican candidate running for what John Kerry calls "Ted Kennedy's seat" in the Senate. This is the seat which will make or break the Obama agenda, beginning with health care, for it is the 60th vote in the Senate. Jeannine wanted me to encourage my readers in MA to support this solidly pro-life legislator in this notoriously left-wing state.
Massachusetts should know better than that. The birthplace of freedom, the former hotbed of activism against unfair taxation, the inventor of the original Tea Party, has succommed to the somulence that government knows best, just pay and obey and all will be well. Horsefeathers! Massachusetts should wake up and smell the gunpowder. This is political war.
Obama has dug a canyon of debt with nothing but higher rates of unemployment to show for it, while flashing his snake-oil salesman grin cajoling Nebraska's Ben Nelson to be the 60th vote on the dangerous healthcare legislation. One sixth of our economy in the hands of a man who has never worked outside of politics or academia, never run a business or been held accountable for his past record of votes, or shady associations. The most pro-abortion politician in the history of this nation, whose citizenship and loyalty to this nation are questioned, is NOT the man whom I want making my family's life or death decisions. Nor is his knee-jerk Congress. Polls have Obama at an abyssmal 46% approval rating and the health care bill scores only 36%. The American people have begun to look behind the curtain and have seen that the Wizard is fake, but they cannot undo their foolish decisions of last year's election until November.
Electing Scott Brown to block the Obamanation's destruction of our ecomony, our national security,  and our decency (have you seen his latest gender bender appointee?).
People of Massachusetts, you have been called to save this nation once again from a tyrant. A tyrant we  elected our of our well intentioned attitude of wanting to have our first African American president. Voting for Scott Brown would be a vote to save America before Obama and his fantatical appointees own 100% of this economy and we are virtually robbed of our veto power.

Get involved, the election is on January 19. we only have a week to make sure he closes the narrow gap between him and leading liberal candidate Attorney General Martha Coakley, a Kennedy clone.
