In 1992 there was a political cartoon of a Democrat Donkey reading a book about making "assisted suicide work for you". That 1992 cartoon just dovetails perfectly with this Democrat Party as culture of death.

anyone who know how to find this now that democrats are in desperation mode.

Hunter Thompson

Yes, he's another liberal icon who received uncritical acclaim upon his death, including a cover story in "Rolling Stone." Oh, they might mention his flaws, but never in a tone that suggests anything but unlimited acceptance.

the pope was out step with members of the Church in the West.

Yeah - he followed scripture instead of man - what a nerve>

He was, I believe, exactly what was needed to bring the church back from the brink...but don't take my word for it, I'm not even Catholic

a significant portion of the civilized world is in mourning, and a not insignificant number are travelling to Rome to pay their respects.

And Jimmah C. (the rabbit is after me) don't get to go. Yes, there is a God

Evidently, though whether it is the Catholic version of God is something we can debate at some other juncture.

Best quote I've heard/seen today - (supposedly, have no source) when queried about lodgings in the area, a Roman resident said "Rome is full. There are no rooms at the inns."

The left went through hell during Reagan's funeral last summer. They don't want to go through it again for the Pope's.

Imagine what hell they will go through after their own funerals, whenever God decides those will be.

" If they don't like the churches beliefs and doctrine tough luck, they are free to leave the church at any time."

Have to remember, none of these pundits are Christian, nor do any of them have enough respect for the church to actually find out what it is all about. They can't leave the church, because they wouldn't be caught dead in one to begin with. Pay them no mind. No one else does.

People say sheep are stupid. I say there is nothing stupid about knowing you need the Shepherd.

Thompson was a freaking joke. The clown spent his whole life trying to be a character in a newspaper comic strip. I think he succeeded. I laughed when he offed himself. What a pitiful piece of trash.

There were one million people IN LINE TO VIEW THE BODY today. They were going to have to shut the line down to newcomers today.

My theory is that they, and the Cafeteria Catholics who criticize, whine and complain about the lack of women priests, the need for married priests, wanting to divorce and remarry with no ramifications, etc....are mostly of the 60's crowd (or their younger ideological progeny) who think it's their duty to shake the foundations of tradition instead of just leaving well enough alone and becoming Episcopalian or Unitarian or Buddhist or Jehovah's Witness, or whatever!!!

it a way that is sad that it has come to that.

Once upon a time, progressive just mean progress. Progress like building the highways, erecting the sky scrapers. Progressive meant the march of progress. It did not mean the invasion of communists or leftists.

The communists took over liberal, the communists took over progressive.

Exactly. I can't believe the ARROGANCE of a lot of people I'm seeing on TV (a lot of them not even CATHOLIC) taking polls and questioning people whether they agree that the Church should change.

The CHURCH IS NOT A DEMOCRACY! It will remain true to the teachings of Our Founder, Jesus Christ, no matter if 99.99% wanted it to change!

The fascinating thing that no-one seems to report is, the Pope's popularity is specifically DUE to his strong stands on moral issues. People RESPECTED the man; inside they KNEW what he was saying was correct; they didn't agree with him because they didn't WANT to agree - it would mean changing one's lifestyle and sacrificing alot.

Church's teaching on women's ordination, artificial birth control, fornication and gay marriage will NEVER change.

End of story. Those wishing change should either accept this, or leave the Church.

You just summarized the baby-boom generation.

I heard the Pope disliked the self-centered baby boomer generation too, and that's part of why he bypassed them sometimes and reached out to young people.

In a way, I hope the leftists in the media get even louder and more vitriolic. It will make the vote-by-county map of 2008 a sea of red with pinpricks of blue.
