Amid all the smirking, chortling, and "give me a break, kid" sniggering that ill-mannered Joe Biden exhibited at the 2012 vice presidential debate, when he piously explained his stance on abortion, he exposed in totality the hypocrisy of liberal thinking.
Toward the end of the debate, Biden's friend and one time houseguest, moderator Martha Raddatz, posed the following question to the candidates: "We have two Catholic candidates ... [a]nd I would like to ask you both to tell me what role your religion has played in your own personal views on abortion[.]"
After Paul Ryan expressed how personal faith impacts his pro-life views, Joe Biden sobered up for a second and said, "My religion defines who I am, and I've been a practicing Catholic my whole life."
Like many liberals, whether it's a game of constitutional Twister or flexible religious creed, Joe fashions his faith to accommodate his personal beliefs. Therefore, the vice president and the enthusiastically pro-abortion Barack Obama both feel comfortable calling themselves Christian.
Mr. Biden identifies with Roman Catholicism but doesn't let that identity get in the way of his support of policy that directly contradicts church teaching on the sanctity of life. Joe may believe he's been "practicing" Catholicism his whole life, but he'd better keep those training wheels on his theological bicycle.
Echoing fellow Catholic Nancy Pelosi, Joe told Martha that except when it comes to the legally sanctioned death of innocent human beings, Catholicism has "particularly informed [his] social doctrine."
According to Joe, "[t]he Catholic social doctrine talks about taking care of those who-who can't take care of themselves, people who need help," which Biden agrees with except when he's approving of brutally dismantling helpless innocents "who can't take care of themselves."

Joe called himself a practicising Catholic. Wouldn’t he have to participate in communion to call himself that? But ol’ Joe will lie now....just sayin’.
Priceless.
