He doesn’t have a character worth assassinating.

No, Dougie, you committed character suicide. You don’t have to ‘splain it to me, but I sure don’t envy you ‘splainin’ it to God.

Yes, but he’s such a smooth talker! Let’s face it, the man is a born diplomat.

Agreed. BTW, I have been noticing that Bambi’s “team” has been getting a lot of religious figures - ranging from Rick Warren to Vicki Gene - to do the honors at his Immaculate Inauguration, as Rush calls it. Do you think he’ll be able to find a Catholic?

0bama said words matter, Dougie. Therefore, when 0bama said the first piece of legislation he would sign would be the FOCA, we were taking him at his word. Oh, yeah that and his opposition to the Born Alive Act and the Mexico City policy, comments like ‘punished with a baby’ and a voting record to the left of the Hildebeast on abortion. So either 0bama make false promises, or he really is the most pro-abortion President in history. Either, 0bama was morally unacceptable to Catholics who actually follow their faith.

Kmiec is simply as useless as all those other phony Republicans who kissed up to BHO.

Any TRUE Catholic knows that the catechism of our faith is diametrically at odds with the Party of Death.

Kmiec should leave the Church and the GOP.

FOCA. “The first thing I would do is sign it.”

I believe that is a direct quote from Obama before Kmeic endorsed him.

Spin, only spin.

"I remain unabashedly prolife..."

While unabashedly and wholeheartedly supporting a rabid pro-abort like Obama?
Tell me another whopper, Professor.

Kmiec, be a man and stop whining. You made your bed with the devil, now lie in it. When your bosom buddy Obama signs FOCA, you can rest assured that some of the blood of those aborted babies will be on your hands. Repent and believe the Good News.

“This essay,” Professor Kmiec further explains, “is not about abortion, but at least this much must be said: blog lies to the contrary, there is no real legislative interest in FOCA.

I may not be as smart as the Professor, but I'm not so foolish to believe that there is no "real" legislative interest in FOCA.

Yes, WE internet Catholics have the Pope’s ears. And the Pope is totally convinced based on rumors.

In your dreams, buddy. But maybe the Pope has READ with his own eyeballs the vile things you have written.

Dougie Boy, I'm not interested in anything you have to say, unless it's:

"I renounce any and all support I have ever given to the abortionist 0bama Regime, and I sincerely apologise for giving grave scandal in supporting it."

I know Doug and His wife. First they are authentic and serious about their faith. 2nd. Doug is probably one of the most brilliant constitutional scholars alive today. 3. I can not explain his position on Obama for the life of me. I have not asked him either. It is truly one of those Huh? things that sometimes happens.

“Right-wing” Catholic? To be Catholic IS to be conservative; to hold otherwise is to be NOT Catholic.

Liberal “Catholics” are not practicing the traditional Catholic Faith, they are practicing the heresy of Modernism. They are acting as “cafeteria” Catholics. Liberalism and the Catholic Faith are two diametrically opposed positions. One cannot lay claim to both and remain honest.

The Church’s position on abortion, and being an ACCESSORY to abortion, is quite clear. There is NO wiggle room on that point: Abortion is an intrinsic evil. The Churches position on homosexuality is also quite clear: Homosexual acts are an intrinsically disordered passion. The Church is also quite clear regarding property rights: Socialism and Marxism are anathema to that position. A Catholic in good standing CANNOT vote for a pro-abortion or pro-homosexual marriage politician; nor a Marxist or Socialist, without becoming and accomplice to the evil represented and propagated by those positions, period. More prudentially, to vote for a pro-abortion politician is to incur automatic excommunication.

Clear enough?

His argument that Obama has some things in common with the expressed political positions of the Catholic church is correct.

However, he conveniently “forgets” that he originally tried to say that Obama was the right choice for a pro-life Catholic, attempting to justify Obama ON THE PRO-LIFE issue.

It was that disingenous and scripture-twisting argument that earned him the rightful disrespect of the educated Catholic community, and indeed of pro-lifers of every religious persuasion.

Yes, the Catholic church opposes the war in Iraq. And yes, the Catholic church cares about the poor. But that wasn’t the argument Kmeic used to support Obama before the election.

Kmiec sounds like a man who is projecting his fantasy of Obama onto the real Obama, and who will be bitterly disappointed when the real Obama is revealed.

"I was misled!", he'll howl. No, Doug, you misled yourself.

The cognitive dissonance between being “authentic and serious about their [Catholic] faith”, and support for 0bama-of-the-Dead-Babies ought to be sufficient to induce cranial detonation.
