What’s Lieberman doing on this list of supporters of FOCA?!?! Just because he stands with Republicans on the war on terror, you don’t actually think he is a conservative, do you? Senator Lieberman is just as ardently pro-abortion as the vast majority of Democrats in the House and Senate. And to think there were some who actually advocated the idea that McCain should have chosen him as his running mate. He votes with the Democrats on just about all their liberal issues EXCEPT the war on terror. Let’s not lionize the man.

Good question for him to answer to his Creator.

**Are the targeters looking out for the best interest of their market, or are they peddlers selling their snake oil along the line of least resistance?**

Or are the views and wishes of Margaret Sanger of Planned Parenthood coming true.

Tragically, Obamanation does not even realize that PP is destroying (killing) the future voting block of blacks in this country. Sounds like holocaust to me.

I saw that one line in there too. I just thought the rest of his message needed to be stronger.

Obama:
But it’s also important that a president speaks to military service as an obligation not just of some, but of many. You know, I traveled, obviously, a lot over the last 19 months. And if you go to small towns, throughout the Midwest or the Southwest or the South, every town has tons of young people who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. That’s not always the case in other parts of the country, in more urban centers.

I can't believe Obama slipped up and let this inconvenient truth slip out. Apparently he believes, like Sarah, that some areas of America are more patriotic than others.

it sounds like he wants a big war. That’s what usually happens after a major expansion of govt.

Forget the nuances though ... Unless abortion is directly and strongly condemned, without any other moral “equivocation” and “talk-around” - such as was what was in our bulletin today! - liberal “catholic” politicians will continue to be elected based on catholic votes.

Atlanta's (black, extremely liberal) archbishop continues to support the racism in Obama’s campaign, and has REFUSED to condemn ANYTHING any liberal catholic says anywhere in the country. Of course, he is also supporting democrats to get more pro-illegal democrat voters (er, church contributors) as well.

Could be. If you read it a certain way, it definitely looks like he is saying that flyover country isn’t supplying enough bodies to accomplish his ends. Urban/suburan areas are going to have to get with the program and offer up their young as well.

>> [The African American community has] lost over 13 million lives. To put that in perspective, it is one third of our present Black population.

Abortion deprives the Country of Hope for tomorrow.

Prayers for all that struggle, suffer, and die from abortion.

>> Over 1,500 Black Babies Per Day Are Killed

40 million 3” prenatals spans 2 thousand miles. Imagine driving past 40 million business cards lined up end to end from the Northeast to Texas.

I don’t believe Bishop Steib is being wishy-washy. He speaks of abortion as a great evil, he’s just trying to walk a fine line in his pronouncements. Clearly he can’t name one candidate who is most in line with Catholic teaching, and say “vote for that one”. He is trying to teach those Catholics who have bought into the ‘Seamless Garment’ idea that they have been taught incorrectly. Yes, all those other Social Justice issues about which they are so concerned are important, but the right to life is paramount, and overrules all the others.

What's tragic is that I'm sure Obama understands this completely, but he's like all other elites; he'd rather not have all those annoying poor people around.

I just didn’t think he sounded strong enough. Perhaps if I met him in person I would have a different opinion.

Words..............bah!
