This writer's article, "Vegetarians for a Free Choice," is also on target given the fact that Dennis is a Vegan himself.

Today, we are witnessing a similar real-life morality play. Only this one doesn't involve Irish farmers starving for food. This one involves ambitious politicians starving for power. The soup these politicians are being asked to drink is a concoction of lies and distortions brewed up by the radical feminists and abortion profiteers who now control the Democratic Party. The reward for drinking this soup of death is the right to run for president as a Democrat.

Bookmarked. Thanks for posting this.

So many far-out leftists running on the Dem side, but this one takes the cake for the fringe nutcases. Kucinich is a loon.

[shhrubbery!]

The 'souper' story reminds me of Jonathan Swift's 'Modest Proposal' -- where he proposed that the problem of the starving poor of Ireland be solved by ... eating them.

Kucinich is Swift without the irony or the intelligence.

To Clueless Joe, Johnny Fifty-Seven Varieties, The Man With No Eyebrows and Howard the Duck, we can now add Dennis The Menace.

As recently as last May, Kucinich press secretary, Kathie Scarrah, stated: "He absolutely believes in the sanctity of life and that life begins at conception." Then Kucinich began to think about running for President. It was time for some soup.

Less than a week after announcing his decision to explore the possibility of running for president, Kucinich wrote a letter to his local newspaper, The Cleveland Plain Dealer, wherein he publicly renounced his long held pro-life position: "I don't believe in abortion; few do. I do, however, believe in choice." In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, Kucinich goes even further; not ruling out his support for publicly funded free abortions for poor women. "I am going to continue to take a thoughtful approach, and that doesn't preclude the poor from having the government support their right to choose." Amazingly, Kucinich has been trying to make the argument that his position on this fundamental issue has not really changed. "The position I'm taking now is an expansion; it's not a reversal," Kucinich told Tim Russert on Meet the Press.

This man has the makings to be the next Clinton.

There will come a day in history when our society as a whole awakens and unanimously recognizes the horror of abortion. Sadly, that may be only wishful thinking, for we are degenerating even further, into cannibalism, as we slide further down the slippery slope.

But just in case it could help even one person to repudiate the killing, here's a little 4D video of an alive, 22 week aged individual human being:

And here's the URL, if you can use it with friends or relatives contemplating hiring a serial killer:

He's too weird....more like Gore....who was also once pro-life.

Good article!

Mat 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

[marshmallow]

In a 1971 letter, the then pro-life Teddy Kennedy wrote, "The legalization of abortion on demand is not in accordance with the value which our civilization places on human life. Wanted or unwanted, I believe that human life, even at its earliest stages, has certain rights which must be recognized -- the right to be born, the right to love, the right to grow old."

Holy moly!! Ted Kennedy wrote that??

It's true what the Catholic Church says about the spiritual life. Nobody stands still. You're either moving towards God or you're moving away from him.

Just as there are those who like Mary Magdalen, abandoned their sinful ways and became saints, so there are those who were once followers of Jesus but abandoned him when things became tough, like those disciples who ceased to follow Jesus because of his "hard sayings".

[Cicero]

I doubt whether Al Gore ever knew the difference between right and wrong, because he was raised by a corrupt traitor, his father. But Teddy Kennedy knew the difference, because he had a Catholic upbringing. He had the Pearl of Great Price in his possession but sold it for good times, political power, a younger wife, and a bulging stomach.

BTTT!!!!!

[Mr. Thorne]

BTTT.

I've got a guy in the local K of C who worked for Kucinich, on his first congressional campaign. Wonder how he feels now?

Betrayed, I'm thinking.

"So many far-out leftists running on the Dem side, but this one takes the cake for the fringe nutcases. Kucinich is a loon."

Is it just me, or does Dennis Kucinich bear a striking resemblence to Elliot Carlin, one of the resident loons on "The Bob Newhart Show"?

[Diago]

I think I'll forward a copy of this article to the local Knights of Columbus leaders and to the leaders of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. I would love to figure out how to get it in their newsletters.

THAT'S IT! And Bob was one of my favorite comedians of all time....
