CHURCH’S CRITICS WANT GAG RULE
Catholic League ^ | November 13, 2009

Posted on 11/17/2009 11:06:53 AM PST by Pope Pius XII

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments as follows:

Getting Nancy Pelosi to accept a health care bill that bans federal funds for abortion was the greatest victory scored by U.S. bishops in a generation. It also unleashed an unprecedented attempt to censor them. Their latest enemy is Geoffrey Stone writing in the Huffington Post.

Stone finds it troubling that the bishops are so vocal. He yearns for a time when JFK was president, a time when separation of church and state met his approval. Perhaps the Chicago law professor forgot about Rev. Martin Luther King, the minister who took to the pulpit and lobbied for civil rights in the name of free speech and religious liberty. Should King have been muzzled as well? Or just today’s bishops?

I like to ask Liberals to point out where the concept of "Seperation of Church and State" exists in the Constitution. It doesn't. It does exist in some writings by Thomas Jefferson, but it's not found in the Constitution.

To a Lib, the phrase "Seperation of Church and State" means that if you are a Christian, you should sit down and shut up. However, if you are Moslem, you should stand up and get your way - even if you have to kill people in order to do so.

If the person claiming to represent a religion or cult AGREES with the Liberals, then the Liberals are silent and will do their utmost to silence any critics.

However, if the person claiming to represent a religion or cult agrees with the Conservatives, then the Liberals will threaten to use the IRS and FBI and CIA and any other Government entity to shut the person/group up.

Liberals must win at everything. If they can’t win legally, they cheat. And if they can’t cheat, they destroy. And sometimes they even insist that an opponent commit suicide.

B.S. The only reason she accepted it was because she knew that it would be pulled out later.

Well 2010 is coming and it will make 1994 look like a day at the beach.
