As much as I would like to ignore it and as much as the 60 million of us who voted for John McCain might like to ignore it, today Barack Hussein Obama was sworn in as president to the shouts of adoring millions. If you are interested in seeing a short video of how Obama massacred the oath of office you can go here. (it takes a little while to load).
But that is not the massacre that we are worried about. Naturally it is the continuing massacre of the millions of unborn who will never enjoy civil rights, life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness. Jobs, healthcare and economic growth will mean nothing to them. It will be interesting to see if the millions on the Mall today will be matched by millions of prolifers who will go to Washington, D.C. on Thursday, January 22, to protest the killing of the innocent that was codified in Roe versus Wade in 1973. Let's hope so.
Since the election, and the disbelief that has ensued by many, I see troubling evidence that all who do not get in line to worship "the Messiah" will be immediately suspect. This morning at a doctor's appointment my son was asked if when he returned to school he would be watching the Inauguration. He replied that no, he would not. The question was then asked "Where DO you go to school?" in a decidedly chilling manner.
We have also heard sermons comparing the day when Our Lord proclaimed in the temple Isaiah 61:1:
1 The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed me: he hath sent me to preach to the meek, to heal the contrite of heart, and to preach a release to the captives, and deliverance to them that are shut up.
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God: to comfort all that mourn:
to the Inauguration of Barack Obama. (yes this was in a Catholic Church).
We've seen Op-ed's that seem to imply that Barack Obama's election is a good thing because of the terrible evil of racism. I wonder how many people have been killed by racism? A few perhaps but millions?
To have voted against Barack Obama will result in being declared racist, just as being Catholic has been declared synonymous with anti-semitism and a whole lot of other antis.
This latest video by the Fidelis Center is making the rounds. I cannot embed it but here is the link if you would like to view it. While I understand the sentiment- that Barack Obama is a life that some might have viewed should have ended in abortion, on the other hand where were these videos BEFORE the election? Where were the Bishops who suddenly found their voices on November 11, 2008 calling for defiance to FOCA and for Catholics to uphold prolife principles, not to mention live by them. It was about a week too late for that message as we saw 53% of Catholics (so-called) vote for Obama.
And so we will reap what we sow and for those Bishops and priests who remained silent or even God forbid voted for Obama, and did so because of the "tax exempt status" then how can we escape the conclusion that their silence was an effort to secure blood money. And that when given a choice between protecting the innocent and your tax deductible donation they chose the money? And how is money set on the altar of expediency anything other than an idol?
Gotta luv that traditional oath takin', no? First, Roberts flubbed it while B. Hussein made up his own. Then, they redid it later (see Drudge) out of "an abundance of caution."
Our bishops and priests don't even care if they get the words of consecration right, or the words of Baptism.
A credit to the Lodge, eh?
Ha Ha! They "forgot" the Bible in the second oath! So much for "caution."

A famous religious leader sent the following to Obama on Jan 20. Anything you might want to add on this infamous day, Jan 22?
"On the occasion of your inauguration as the forty-fourth President of the United States of America, I offer cordial good wishes, together with the assurance of my prayers that almighty God will grant you unfailing wisdom and strength in the exercise of your high responsibilities. Under your leadership, may the American people continue to find in their impressive religious and political heritage the spiritual values and ethical principles needed to cooperate in the building of a truly just and free society, marked by respect for the dignity, equality and rights of each of its members, especially the poor, the outcast and those who have no voice. At a time when so many of our brothers and sisters throughout the world yearn for liberation from the scourge of poverty, hunger and violence, I pray that you will be confirmed in your resolve to promote understanding, cooperation and peace among the nations, so that all may share in the banquet of life which God wills to set for the whole human family (cf. Isaiah 25:6-7). Upon you and your family, and upon all the American people, I willingly invoke the lord’s blessings of joy and peace."
We have noticed mentions of the wonder of Obama seeping into a particular priest's homilies in my community. This is so disappointing especially as the latest comments were made after many of our parish had sacrificed work, family, and sleep to trek all the way to DC to protest murder of the unborn. Obama's agenda is shamelessly one of self-centered godlessness, not hope.
I know our priests are just men, and he is entitled to his views. I just found it really upsetting that he used our Sunday mass to make public his innermost feelings. Sadly they don't jibe with the rest of us.
Dear Seton Mom,
Why do you say "he is entitled to his views" when a priest should have no views contrary to the high priest, the Lord Jesus? Tell him he should leave the priesthood if he would praise a pinko baby killer.
Is there a Latin Mass within an hour's drive? Or at least a decent priest? You need to remove your children from the pinko's influence. God bless you.
