Obama says, "...in a pluralistic society, we have no choice." AKA What DOES he believe in ???

{PAUSE MY PLAYLIST OVER ON THE RIGHT FIRST...}




Hmmm. Don't get it twisted. I am as peaceful as the next person. Heck, I used to be a Hippie, back in the day. (Peace, Love, and Rock and Roll...) But hey, correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Jesus say, "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." {Matthew 10:34 (King James Version)}






Now, with that in mind, I know you are all well aware of the controversy Obama's appearance at Notre Dame's commencement ceremonies caused. Here is the link for the entire transcript of his speech, if you are curious and didn't see it on TV.

I am posting an op-ed that I found on World Net Daily that sums up exactly how I feel about it...Let me warn you...this isn't pleasant...

The blowback of Notre Dame

As if to rub salt in the wound opened by Notre Dame's invitation to deliver the commencement address and receive an honorary degree yesterday, Barack Obama lectured Catholics about abortion.

He said it's time for common ground on the issue and an approach to the life-and-death debate with "open hearts, open minds and fair-minded words."

I suppose that's understandable.

If I were presiding over a public policy that called for the murder of unborn babies for any reason or no reason at all, that provided mandatory public funding of those procedures both domestically and in foreign countries, that required doctors and nurses to perform abortions even if they were conscientiously opposed, that permitted experimentations on living human embryos, that promoted even partial-birth abortions outside the womb and that called for the extermination of infants who somehow defied all the odds and managed to survive efforts to kill them before birth, I guess I would want to frame the debate in such a way as to diminish the hideous monstrousness of my morally indefensible position.

He doesn't really want people who recognize what abortion is to approach the debate with "open hearts." He wants us to harden our hearts.

We won't do that.

The only hearts and minds being opened in this debate and the hearts and minds of little innocents – sliced open surgically in the most barbaric fashion because of activist judges exceeding their authority and morally bankrupt politicians like Obama and his cohorts in the Congress.

These are the most "fair-minded words" I can muster to describe Obama's efforts at soft-pedaling his own bloody and extremist policies on abortion.

Obama said: "Each side will continue to makes its case to the public with passion and conviction. But surely we can do so without reducing those with differing views to caricature."

Let me translate this for you.

"Now that my side in this debate is in control of all the levers of power and is enforcing its will on the other side, it's time for a nice civil dialogue on abortion."

That's what Obama would like.

Let me be the first to say, "No way, buster!"

You want to kill babies? You're going to have to accept the consequences of righteous moral indignation. You're going to have to accept being called out for what you are doing. You're going to have to accept the conviction that comes with the abomination of child sacrifice. You're going to have to accept being labeled for what you are.

Obama even acknowledged he knows what this debate is all about – characterizing abortion as a "heart-wrenching" decision for any woman.

Why is abortion a "heart-wrenching" decision for a mother?

Because it's a decision to kill one's child – materialistic reasons, for reasons of convenience.

It should be "heart-wrenching" to decide to kill one's child.

Obama's policies are meant to remove the guilt, remove the consequences of irresponsible decisions, remove the issue of right and wrong, remove even the "choice" of those who disagree with him not to participate in any way in the slaughter at the altar of Baal.

"We must find a way to live together as one human family," he said in closing.

That's quite a statement.

The man who is carrying out the slaughter of the innocents with the same enthusiasm as Herod and Pharaoh calls for us to find a way to live together as one human family.

How do we learn to live together as one human family when our offspring are being sacrificed to false gods and man-made religions?

How do we learn to live together as one human family when it means accepting coercion into active participation in the worst kind of evil perversion?

How does one live with oneself if it means tolerance of the intolerable?

No, I won't play that game.

No, I won't play by Obama's rules.


In my opinion...very well said. There can be no "common ground" on the issue of abortion. You either approve or disapprove. Period.

One more thing. This is how Planned Parenthood "helps" young girls. Granted, I wasn't there...I can't say with complete assurance that this wasn't "scripted", but hey. I really don't doubt this is true...



"Planned Parenthood, a tax-exempt nonprofit, made over $100 million in profits last year and has a billion-dollar budget, nearly a third of which comes from taxpayers through government funding." {Mona Lisa Project}

I am sorry, but I am sickened to hear my President say that we can reach "common ground" when it comes to abortion. I am sickened that my tax dollars fund CRIMES such as was just portrayed. Sickened...

First as a Catholic I can't imagine Obama telling the graduating class at Notre Dame how to think. Seriously, the Church has always been accepting of all regardless of life experience or views or political leanings. The Church is not close minded but firm in their teachings. They should be allowed to follow their beliefs. No one is making anyone else become Catholic or Christian so why should the government force a doctor to perform against his own beliefs?

Amen! Great post!

Sue,

This is a good post. My mom and I were out of town so I missed seeing the events at Notre Dame unfold on the news. I'm reminded of what Pastor Kris said sunday about fear. Too often we don't say anything for fear of what people will think instead of trying to please God, which is why I'm proud of the protesters for standing up for what they believe. And proud of you for having the courage to speak your mind...... I know your heart Sue, and I know how you feel on this subject. Kudos to you for speaking up.

The abortion issue is a runaway train. It's going to be tough to stop especially as the world becomes more godless and into self serving pleasures.

God just isn't that important anymore to too many people. I hope the Lord comes quickly. I'm sick of living down here anymore.
