RisingValley wonders why “the Catholic population has taken such a stance against a president who is honest and attempting to protect the hungry and the poor….”

A sizeable chunk of the American Catholic population simply doesn’t BELIEVE that Mr. Obama is honest, first of all, or attempting to protect the hungry and the poor. The man has consistently refused to protect the poorest of the poor, the most defenseless among us–the unborn–whenever he has had the opportunity to do so. It doesn’t take much imagination to project that same utilitarian attitude to the already-born, at any stage of life. In other words, we think he doesn’t really care a fig for any of the rest of us, and perceive that it’s all just a “power-trip” on his part.

RisingValley, what in the above article led you to think that you are “seeing too much prejudice against people of color in the church, anything to distract a person from looking to God.” The Catholics you are railing against ARE looking to God, but are being led to different conclusions about what’s right and what’s wrong than you apparently are. What does skin color have to do with that? It’s simply irrelevant.

My question is , why, the Catholic population has taken such a stance against a president who is honest and attempting to protect the hungry and the poor who have no care? Apparently, as long as the President of the US was pretending to speak against abortion and paying lip service, it was fine. President Reagan was governor of California and signed into action the bill allowing abortion in the first state to do so in the US. An alcoholic president and his alcoholic daughters were fine as long as they held up for the church’s stance on certain things. I think the Church needs to be the Church again and stand on the Word of God and let the local stuff go. I am seeing too much prejudice against people of color in the church, anything to distract a person from looking to God. If U really want to end abortion and the abandonment of babies, provide a place in every city for foundlings like the church used to when people had common sense. Provide for widows and single women and children. Provide for prisoners when they are released. House aged out foster care youth who are tossed on the street. The list goes on.

I am an only child. When I was expecting our 2nd, I had to ask my husband what to expect–what was “normal” and what required discipline. One of the examples he gave me was that 2 siblings could be knocking the sense out of each other, but if an “outsider” tried to get between them to break it up, the siblings would band together to get rid of the outsider; once accomplished, they would go back to fighting till they were satisfied with whatever resolution they worked out. I think the dust-up over Fox News was exactly that sort of “family fight”. The alphabet newscasters can denigrate Fox from now till Judgement Day, but let any “outsider” try to get his licks in, and the “siblings” all band together to defeat the outsider before going back to their in-fighting.

It seems to me the saddest part is that the mainstream media who support Mr. Obama on a regular (not to mention, worshipful) basis have no clue that they will be among the first to be put into whatever form of “re-education” detention Mr. O comes up with. The MSM would laugh off the warning as so much propaganda, but it’s an historical fact. “There are none so blind…….”
