"President Obama is a man of intelligence and some remarkable gifts. He has a great ability to inspire. … But whatever his strengths, there's no way to reinvent his record on abortion and related issues with rosy marketing about unity, hope and change," Archbishop Chaput said.

Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark.LOL

I wish he'd have spoken up a lot sooner.

[Para-Ord.45]

Too late.

Anyone who hasn’t actually seen this site should visit it. Scary stuff.

So, like, who’s listening?

[Starboard]

He needs to direct some of his criticism at the MSM that is responsible for helping to create Obama’s image. Let’s call the MSM’s “coverage” for what it really is: propaganda.

"President Obama is a man of intelligence and some remarkable gifts...

A personal drawback of mine is not seeing this.

I guess I need gifts bestowed upon me to see.

[EGPWS]

"Of course, that can change..."

Yeah, CHANGE is the idea all along. Right?

[nufsed]

It's like people who fall for movie stars even when their comments are nonsensical. Remember: for many, it's better to look good than be good.

Here's an example:

Obama is against gay marriage.

Penn says that it is hatred to oppose gay marriage.

Penn says isn't it great that we have such an elegant president.

Be careful and hope this is not contagious.

"Only God is God, and the state is subordinate and accountable to God

Those who do not believe in God will believe in anything.

That thing is usually a charismatic leader. When they choose such a leader to devote all of their hope in the state becomes all powerful.

One of the drawbacks in having your leader as your god is that when that leader falls all of your hope falls with him and life can become not worth living.

Example – Jimmy Jones.

Yeah, he’s a regular light-bringer...

The likes of a nuclear flash bringing death, mayhem and suffering perhaps, yes.

[EGPWS]

Those who do not believe in God will believe in anything.

Thus the lack of religious freedom within a communist state.

Competition...

[EGPWS]

Be careful and hope this is not contagious.

Show me where a concern for an already rampant and out of control disease that is immune to vaccination is an out of touch mindset.

[Global2010]

Allow me to rephrase what the Good Archbishop could of said.

President Obama shoud NOT take his God Given Gifts and USE them AGAINST God.

“He has a great ability to inspire...”

Inspire what? Liberal slugs to cram a roto-rooter into their brains and turn it on?

[A.A. Cunningham]

I wish he'd have spoken up a lot sooner.

He did. You missed it.

[lucias_clay]

Well he’s bright and gifted enough to get elected to president of the US despite not being eligible.

That is in and of itself remarkable.
