When Sen. Ted Kennedy, valiantly fighting brain cancer, took the stage at the Democratic convention on Monday night, he made it clear that he is now on a mission that cannot be completed unless he returns to the Senate next year -- with Barack Obama in the White House.
Kennedy’s quest is to socialize medicine in America.
“For me, this is a season of hope,” he said. “New hope -- and this is the cause of my life -- new hope that we will break the old gridlock and guarantee that every American -- North, South, East, West, young, old -- will have decent, quality health care as a fundamental right and not a privilege.”
The crowd at the convention gave a standing ovation to this radical proposition that falsely equates a proposed new welfare benefit to a “fundamental right.”.................

The Humana Vitae is rightfully considered an inhumane document because it's a fancified way for the church to play grab-hand with women's bodies. But recent events show that the implications of the document go further than controlling women's bodies and sexualities and relationships. It's given supporters (especially male supporters) the belief that they should also be able to control and police women's minds. The first incident involves Catholic feminist theologian Rosemary Radford Ruether, who was offered a job at the University of San Diego, only to have the offer rescinded. Why? Because Ruether disagrees with the Humana Vitae, and is a pro-choice Catholic.
There is a constant struggle between academic freedom and Catholic theology at a lot of Catholic schools, but most coverage of the issue fails to explain is that these struggles only seem to happen in the area of sex and women's rights. Other potential sources of conflict at most Catholic universities are easily settled in favor of academic freedom, but for some reason, the idea that women have rights is so incendiary that it requires universities to completely rethink their approach to the basic concepts of higher education.............
