The fascists in this country aren't even bright enough to analyze the collapse of the Soviet Union and learn from it. They've just picked up where Jimmy Carter left off and restarted all the same programs with all the same arguments.
I well remember Carter talking about turning down the thermostat and getting used to not having "smokestack industries" while the steel industry collapsed. If I recall correctly, he refused to guarantee loans that would have allowed a good many steel works to modernize without the government being on the hook for anything but the interest if there were a default.
They haven't changed a thing since Carter, either. This coming four years they won't be paying off their union pals from industrial unions, they'll be finishing off the industries they work in. Then the Federal government will take over their pension funds, reduce what they were promised, and have all their good union supporters in the same position as black folks on the welfare plantations. Government employees unions give them all the union based support they need and are more reliable to boot.
The Gingerbread men riding on the nose of the fox are not long for this world.
I thought bill Clinton was supposed to be the ant-Christ.
Color me confused.
On the evening of Nov 6th, Obama had his Hitler moment when he(Hitler) saw the Aurora Borealis in the sky and knew that God had paved his way. What is coming is that God has already withdrawn his favor, the earth and the people will groan and it will be much worse than WWII.
Ronaldus Magnus disagreed and proved Carter wrong.
To your point, yes, we are likely corrupt enough.
The Bible says there will be many anti-Christs but there will be one big one.
Right. Sometimes make trigger wise crack comments without thinking.
Not on a good streak today.
Think I’ll take a break from that for today.
lol.
We have all had days like that. You’re still thinking heads and shoulders above liberals though
Four years later, the Vatican's reaction to Obama's re-election had a markedly different tone.
I don't think so. As posted on EWTN:
7-November-2012 -- ZENIT.org News AgencyHoly Father Sends Message to President Obama
Assures Reelected Leader of His Prayers to Carry Out Duties to the NationBy Junno Arocho
VATICAN CITY, Nov. 7, 2012 (Zenit.org).- Fr. Federico Lombardi, director of the Holy See Press Office, told journalists today that Pope Benedict XVI has sent a message to US President Barack Obama, congratulating him on his reelection. The telegram was sent through the Apostolic Nunciature in Washington, DC.
The Holy Father expressed his best wishes to President Obama and assured him of his prayers to carry out his duties to the country and the international community.
The Pope also conveyed his hope that "the ideals of freedom and justice that has guided the founding fathers of the United States of America continue to shine forth as the nation progresses."
Commenting on President Obama's reelection, Fr. Lombardi stressed the immense responsibility that the US President has not only for his country, but as well to the rest of the world, "given the role of the United States in the international [community]."
Fr. Lombardi concluded his statement expressing his hope that President Obama will respond to the expectations of his fellow citizens "for the good and development" while promoting a culture of life and religious freedom.
The director of the Holy See Press Office also stated his desire that the reelected President "may find the best ways to promote the material and spiritual welfare of all, as well as effectively promote the integral human development, justice and peace effectively in the world."
**”If Obama truly wants to be the president of all Americans,” said L’Osservatore Nov. 7, “he should finally acknowledge the demands forcefully arising from religious communities — above all the Catholic Church — in favor of the natural family, life and finally religious liberty itself.”**
Amen!!!
That's the way a coward responds to a threat.
The best response to Soetoro is to go toe to toe with him and give him the fat lip, bloody nose and black eyes he so richly deserves.
Yes. The only thing that would catch public attention would be a dramatic act such as the excommunication of someone like Biden. But the time for that may have passed.
Now, they are less sure of him because he will make them pay for contraceptives.
Absolutely, this is what I have been saying. We must avoid thinking that all of a sudden the entire body of bishops, and their numerous wildly liberal priests, have spun around to the truth about these issues. Rather, they have simply responded to the fact that this mandate puts the bill at their doorstep rather than that of the random taxpayer, i.e. their congregations. They are tickled to death to support any kind of horror as long as we have to pay for it, but turn it around and say they will have to fork over the money and they suddenly cry foul and scream about immorality. Don't get between a bishop and his worship of his god Moloch.
In one way you're right, the time may have passed. In another, though, this is the ideal time much more than prior to the election would have been. Biden is part of an administration that was just reelected with the help of Catholics. Catholics who had no real reason to know they they shouldn't vote for the pair. Sure, they have plenty of excuses and can complain that the Bishops weren't clear enough, their individual parish is liberal and didn't read even a watered down statement from anyone, and so on.
Those are excuses, though. Even the government itself has made it clear they are going after the Catholic Church as an instutition. Plus, who can honestly say they don't know the Catholic Church condemns both abortion and contraception?
Troops willing to fight march toward the sound of the guns, not away from it. Nothing would magnify the sounds of battle more than the very public excommunication of Biden and all of the other pretend Catholics in Congress and the administration. Besides, anyone who is a party to mass murder should at a minimum rate being included in a public proclamation listing those who by their actions openly deny that they are Catholic and ends with "Let them be anathema" shouldn't they?
The Federal government has already declared war on the Catholic Church and it was a CINO who chose where to fight the initial battle. It's obvious that a large number of those who claim to be Catholic have either already sided with the enemy or have no stomach for battle. Give those who are faithful the sound of battle as a signal that the Church intends to fight rather than the near silence of shuffling legal briefs and toothless proclamations. The noise of battle might even wake up a few of those who didn't vote for Barry and Satan, but didn't bother to vote against them either.
JMHO, and hey, I'm new at this Catholic stuff so what do I know?
Not quite so simple. Vatican II was in part a rebellion against Rome, led by bishops, priests and theologians with their own agenda. It is less what is in the documents as what these leaders afterwards said was in them. I am reminded of the Church after the first council, which condemned Arius. Only, many of the clergy had one foot in his camp, and the Emperor found it persuasive. Soon we have three parties: the Catholics, the Arians, and the Semi-Arians—the mushy middle. Today we have the conservatives, the liberals, and the guys in the middle, the kind that in the Johnny Cash song is called a Methodist.
Fr. Lombardi concluded his statement expressing his hope that President Obama will respond to the expectations of his fellow citizens "for the good and development" while promoting a culture of life and religious freedom.
This is consistent with the pope's understanding of the US political landscape and his warnings, earlier this year, when he met with US bishops.
Pope Benedict XVI raises his voice against the "dominant culture of secularism in America" and, between the lines, he attacks Obama's policy in favor of contraception, gay marriage and abortion, preventing a true freedom of conscience to American Catholics.
They certainly did not. "Strenuously" indicates something like shaking themselves awake and getting up off their big episcopal .... seats, for somethng other than a photo op.
Yes, yes, a few of them spoke short sentences where you could find the subject and the verb. +Jenky in Peoria was heated, strong -- and like a man standing alone.
.
And the rest, those who apparently still want some lovin' from Obama: Obama will certainly give it to them, good and hard.
