Did you hear Laura today on the ProLife issues? Wow, huba huba! Here is More synergy with yesterday's UC Catholic Bishops Pro-Life statement position from Dr. Dobson. My brother is a Knight of Columbus 1.28 million strong in the USA and here is their recent statement & here is their rebuke of Biden. Hopefully his Knights of Columbus will be getting Catholic Battleground/Electoral College battleground map/strategy to the Supreme Knight to see if they can help in the Battle ground states. I'd like to see if EWTN will help and hoping Raymond Arroyo will be the point guard on that front. Fantastic Catholic Blogger American Papist is another great resource for Catholics and other Chistian Denominations.
We need a New Media Quarterback and Hugh Hewitt has stepped up to take the snap
....I hope he'll have Arbp Chaput on to help in Colorado. The US Catholic Church has its shotgun Offensive for the first time in history on Abortion. I'm a little blog in God's Hands!
Supreme Knight of Columbus Calls for Real "Change" on Abortion and Catholic Revolt against Obama Nation
"It's time we stop accommodating pro-abortion politicians, and it's time we start demanding that they accommodate us.":
- Dr. Dobson. while feeling that the Republican platform does not perfectly mirror traditional values, says that it "comes closest to embracing" them.
The famous family psychologist highlighted the gravity of what he believes is at stake in the upcoming election:
- "Between 2009 and 2012, there will likely be two or more opportunities for the President to nominate new justices to the Supreme Court. ... The highest court in the land could become stacked - even more than it already is - with justices who will … impose a liberal agenda on the nation. It will likely affect the de?nition of marriage, religious freedom, and the protection (or lack thereof) of life in the womb."
- Dobson lists four specific reasons for his readers to vote for John McCain rather than Barack Obama, beginning with Senator Obama's performance during the "Saddleback Forum."
- When asked when a baby gets human rights, the Democratic candidate infamously said, "Answering that question with specificity, you know, is, uh, is, above my pay grade."
- "With all due respect, Senator, if this question is above your pay grade, then so is the job attached to it," writes Dr. Dobson. Dr. Dobson says Senator McCain gave "very solid and encouraging answers" to questions about both abortion and marriage.
- The Republican Party's platform this year, he tells us, "is the strongest pro-life platform in the history of the party, surpassing even the pro-life advances of the Reagan years."
- Then, observes Dobson, Senator McCain showed his allegiance to pro-life, pro-family positions by appointing Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska as his Vice-Presidential candidate. He could have "embraced a liberal … nominee, such as Senator Joe Lieberman or Tom Ridge." Governor Palin, he claims, is far more capable of stepping into the presidency than Senator Obama, whose days in the U.S. Senate prior to his candidacy numbered only 143, and who "authored no significant legislation" in that time
- "For example, when he was a state senator in Illinois, he voted four times in three years against legislation that would have saved the lives of babies that managed to survive the abortion process."
- Dobson also cites the occasion when the Senator promised Planned Parenthood that he would sign the Freedom of Choice Act first thing in his presidency. FOCA would "overturn nearly every local, state, and federal anti-abortion law passed in the last 40 years," even those abortion restrictions put in place by the 1973 ruling Roe vs. Wade.
- "I cannot support his candidacy because the positions he holds on moral, social and family issues place him at the extreme left of the political spectrum.
- What the Senator believes and the policies he would seek to implement are on a collision course with the biblical principles and beliefs I have fought to defend for more than 35 years," the Christian psychologist writes.
