Living in California as we do, it's depressing that the closest thing to representation we conservatives have in the United States Senate is Jon Kyl from Arizona. What we are left to endure usually comes from our junior Senator, both in seniority and in intellect, Barbara Boxer.
Among the myriad of causes and issues of which she claims to be a champion, she is an abortion absolutist above all else. Boxer put that on display once again today, when she temporarily blocked the passage of a Senate resolution honoring the visit of Pope Benedict XVI. The resolution, offered by Kansas Senator Sam Brownback, was deemed offensive to Boxer in two areas, and wouldn't allow the measure to move forward until the language was removed. One of the clauses dealt with religious expression in public places. Boxer certainly can't have that.
But the line in the sand clause to Boxer was this one, which you can read at Politico.com.
Whereas Pope Benedict XVI has spoken out for the weak and vulnerable, witnessing to the value of each and every human life;
That raised the anti-abortion alarm bells with Senator Boxer, and she raced into action. This cannot stand. She will not allow the United States Senate to blindly honor someone who values every human life, even someone like the Pope, who actually has spoken out, witnessing to the value of every human life.
She is as hard left on the life issue as Barack Obama is, which is radical. Senator Obama was rhetorically talking about his potential grandchild when he made his now infamous remarks about not wanting his daughters to be "punished with a baby."
Democrats continue to maintain the illusion that public anti-war sentiment is going to sweep them to power in November, just like it did in the Congressional elections in 2006. What they fail to realize, however, is that the Democratic Party is about to nominate someone who is out of the mainstream liberal. And America, as divided as we keep being told it is, simply isn't as far to the left as the Democratic Party thinks it is.
Most Americans, even ones who are pro-choice, wouldn't go to the lengths of Senator Boxer to deem one of the hallmarks of the Pope's Catholic faith as unacceptable political speech that should not be honored by the United States Senate.
Is Boxcutter a Catholic?
Babs is Jewish.
Nope, she's Jewish, as is her fellow California senator, Dianne Feinstein.
On paper. She is as Jewish as a Nancy is Catholic or Obama is Christian.
It’s too bad that Boxer’s mother wasn’t a practicing ABORTIONIST!
No doubt.
He just emailed me back. He was not aware of this story and will be talking about it tonight on his show.
I don’t blame Boxer. I blame the gutless “faithful Catholics” who let her get her way over this.
If you Google Boxer, one of the first few hits points out: The ideal Boxer is a medium-sized, square built dog of good substance with short back, strong limbs, and short, tight-fitting coat...
It’s this kind of idiotic crap that will bring down our country.
That she and her fellow mentally diseased lib friends think it’s really cool to mock the most revered religious head of state in the world is truly despicable.
typical hypocritical Dem..........Every one is allowed there opinion expect if you disagree with her.
Liberalism is a religion.....Environmentalism is their theology....Abortion is their sacrament.
I’m trying to pinpoint the milestones in the demise of California. Her election has to be in the early bunch.
Thanks! Good job!
Remember — Poor Babs has already been punished..
Remember?
Her daughter made the mistake of marrying Hillary’s worthless brother and giving birth to a “Rodham” just before they got a divorce....
Babs will have that “Rodham” or “Hillary” reminder around the rest of her life.....
She should really know better than to piss off God more than she already has.
Well yes... unfortunately most "Jews" in the USA are JINO Liberal Secularists. When they live in clear defiance of Judaism they aren't anything more than ethnically or culturally defined. Their religion certainly isn't any longer Judaism. That's also sadly a problem with many other religions in the US.
