Benevolent Dictatorship

John 6:54 — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 02:40:49 +0000

Listen to what the Votex has to say and give it some thought after you get past the initial shock of his comments because the concept is so “Un-American”. My question is how long will our country last under its current trajectory provided the second coming doesn’t happen first? Another 100 years? Another 200 years? I would be interested to hear how long folks think the good old USA can last on its current course. At some point we go bankrupt for sure as I think the cancer in this country is too ingrained into the fabric of the nation to truly remove it and change course. Democracy is a human experiment, Benevolent Dictatorship is God’s ever lasting model.

Sr. Kehaan receives Presidential pen for supporting health care against Bishops’ decision

Washington D.C., Mar 24, 2010 / 12:39 am (CNA).- Sister Carol Kehaan, President of the Catholic Health Association, has been awarded with one of the 20 pens used by President Barak Obama on Tuesday to sign the health care bill.

It is a presidential tradition to give out the pen used to sign the bill to lawmakers and proponents who have played a key role in any piece of major legislation. [...]

From the Kansas Catholic Conference

Congress Approves Health Care Bill Opposed by Catholic Bishops
March 22, 2010

Last night, by a vote of 219-212, the US House of Representatives passed the Senate health care reform bill opposed by the Catholic bishops and every major Pro-Life organization in America.

For decades, the Catholic Church has tirelessly encouraged our elected officials to reform America’s health care system in order to expand access to care. But the Church cannot support legislation that would expand access to abortion by opening the door to federal financing of abortion.

Yesterday, a handful of House members who had opposed the health care bill because of its abortion provisions reached an agreement with President Obama that they wrongly claimed would resolve those concerns through a promised executive order. There is again unanimity within the Pro-Life community that the executive order will in fact be entirely insufficient to the task.

It is expected that President Obama will sign the bill tomorrow. In the meantime, the US Senate will debate separate legislation under the filibuster-proof reconciliation process in order to make adjustments to the approved bill. None of those adjustments, nor the executive order, will change the fact that Congress has just passed perhaps the most significant expansion of access to abortion in the 37 years since Roe v. Wade.

219 – 212 The Unborn Lose

John 6:54 — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 02:53:06 +0000

I went to reconciliation tonight. I hope the Catholic representatives who Voted for this Healthcare Reform bill, as well as the Catholic supporters, do as well.

Lord have Mercy
Chirst have Mercy
Lord have Mercy

May the legal challenges be filed.

A very sad day for the future unborn. If “Executive Orders” meant anything we’d be living in an elected Monarchy.

Stupak Press Conference at 4pm EST

Stupak Appears To Have Fallen

John 6:54 — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 17:31:52 +0000

Pro-Life & Democart appears to be now officially extinct. It appears Stupak is falling for a meaningless Executive Order. If the Executive Order really mean anything you would hear the pro-abortion crowd yelling bloody murder, like they were on Friday afternoon when Pelosi was feeling them out for a seperate abortion vote. If Stupak thinks that the presidents executive order will mean anything he should no longer be called Stupak, but Stupid.

The reality of this or any other text, though is: It is meaningless legally. It has no binding effect. I don’t know a single lawyer with a working knowledge of the Constitution, Congress, and the Executive, who says otherwise.

You can view a potential draft of the excutive order here.

Update 1:28 CST: Other reports say Stupak is still a No. Coud this be the mother of all BLUFFS by the Democrats?
