Where is your spine, America ?Laura Hollis, as a professor at Notre Dame, teaches at the most incredible Catholic campus in America I've ever seen (the grotto, Sacred Heart Basilica, the golden dome), yet she does not offer the answer to building a spine. Maybe she has done so in other posts, but me and my spine go to Eucharistic Adoration (time before the Blessed Sacrament), daily Mass, recitation of the Holy Rosary, and frequent Confession. ALL available at the University of Notre Dame.
But unlike Harvard or Yale, Northwestern or Southern Cal, all once Christian universities but now secular schools, Notre Dame has the weapon to combat all heresies; namely Notre Dame Herself. The modernists may have their day, but, like the song says, Notre Dame will win over all. For the modern infidels to take control here, they would have to blow our dame off the dome, rip the heart (the Eucharist) out of Sacred Heart and lastly, rock by rock, tear the grotto apart. And legions of Her sons and daughters would willingly die martyrs before they would allow that to happen. -Tom O'Toole, '81 http://www.fightingirishthomas.com/2007/03/upon-these-rocks-faith-and-notre-dame.html
Realistically speaking, Obama is our King. We may was well face the facts.
“Where is your spine, America ?”
America is a very law abiding country. And conservatives are amongst the most reflexively law abiding. Regardless of whether the law is just or constitutional.
If there was a law passed ordering conservatives to be sent to concentration camps, the question that most would be asking is not whether they should resist or hide. No. It would be how many bags they’re allowed to take with them.
Every Republican should fashion their platform, their speeches and their ads from these statements.
If I was running against an established Democrat, I’d scream these statements from the tallest roofs. I would not be POLITE about it.I would not be NICE about it. I would not be SLICK about it. I would attack Obama and his works. I would attack the Democrats and their works. I would attack my opponent and their works.
And quite frankly, I would not care if I won. I would only care about telling the truth. And I would tell the voters that I did not care if I won. I would tell the voters that if they wanted NICE, if they wanted POLITE, if they wanted SLICK, they should vote for my opponent. If they wanted someone who was an implacable warrior dedicated to dismantling obamacare and the rest of the Obammunist works, they should vote for me. I would tell the voters if they LIKED the way things are going and wanted more of it they should not vote for me, but they should vote for my opponent. I say these things loudly and passionately.
I would not play the “gotcha” game with reporters. No matter how vile the attacks and questions, I would stick with the sole issue of dismantling obamacare, answering any and all questions with the orginal above statements.
(Since when did the leader of the free world care so much about how people have sex, who they have it with, and what meds they use when they have it? Does he have nothing more important to concern himself with?) When you are gay and your former SOS of state and your probable professor is lesbian, how people have sex is very important to you.
The writer makes great points. But the only way America will ever show a spine is if a few people like her, some brave politicians and some talking heads who have the forum stand up and call for mass protests all over the country. And even then I’m not sure of success.
When a leftie’s granny is sent home to die they’ll suddenly believe in God and say “It must have been His will.”

Laura Hollis needs to be reminded that 47% of the American
public are ignorant morons.
I have two predictions regarding Professor Hollis's future: 1)tenured or not,she won't have her faculty position much longer...2)she had better make sure her tax returns over the last 15 years don't contain a *single* mistake.
