Text of the page (random words):
atiently modestly and with firm religious conviction i can say without hesitation like my sainted mother who had alzheimer s for 19 years rosie is experiencing the beatific vision right now look for rosie most of us who remain worry more about her husband who has to face a 50 year void in his life for which he only had a few short weeks to prepare i think i know what he is going to do to alleviate his grief he is going to get down on his knees bow his head and pray to the first saint rosie posted in uncategorized tags a child of god beatific vision fighting irish purgatorio rheumatoid arthritis rose of lima a bad russian novel march 29 2012 6 comments first there was vlad the impaler then there was ivan the terrible now there is barack the tyrant the first trait of a tyrant is his ability to lie obama has become the personification of a pinocchio stick figure that lies and lies until his nose assumes the distance of a vaulter s pole the mendacious president he lies about what he has accomplished during his three plus years as the nation s president he lies about his republican opposition to the extent of a defamation of character and serious calumny he lies about health care do you really think you will be able to keep your same doctor if obamacare stifles the court and the will of most of the people he lies about oil like his predecessor in truth destruction bill clinton obama brags about how much he has done as president and how hard he works i have found that most people that brag about their accomplishments have actually done very little of value his mantra has been blame bush he reminds me of the old joe e brown movie character adapted from the pen of ring lardner s alibi ike he thought himself the world s greatest baseball players but when he failed to produce he had an excuse he would have blamed bush too psychologists will say his mendacity just clouds his own ineptitude he also reminds me of the high minded robert redford character in the movie the candidate that after winning a senate seat said to his chief aide what do we do now for over three years president obama has appeared relentlessly clueless with the nation s economy stagnating he has time to fill out not just a bracket for the ncaa s men s teams but also for the women as well the president picking winners that is real chutzpah in the face of a looming repeat of a financial crisis unless he learns how to stop spending money the country does not have even worse is the fact that this tyrant has deliberately and methodically divided this nation on race economics religion and even sociology more than any president since franklin roosevelt his unnecessary intervention in the neighborhood killing of black florida teenager trayvon martin has turned the nation s sympatheterati into dressing like authentic hoodlums now the new black panthers a protected species of the justice department has put an nfl bounty of one million dollars on george zimmerman the florida shooter this is more ominous than anything the new orleans defense could muster i expect bill belechick of new england to start wearing sweaters next football season to distance himself from this situation his look has now become that of protest the hoodie is the usual attire of a bum it also is a veiled reference to being a hoodlum which makes one think of chicago politics and the democratic machine maybe that is the significance of the obaman intervention a pure form of synchronicity this would be bad enough if it were for his apparent inner need to personify the imperial presidency i know this is all starting to sound like a bad russian novel with unpronounceable names multi subplots and a depressing ending the wall street journal s recent half page editorial laid the basis for his usurpation of constitutional power and his desire to assume the complete plenary powers of the state the supreme court will be hearing arguments on the jewel in obama s imperial crown his health care bill which will provide all americans with health insurance but little care americans will be equal in our slavery rather than unequal in our freedom that is a liberal tenet of faith the white house is already organizing its forces of intimidation and coercion on the court a memo from a senior official in the obama administration was leaked recently it revealed that they are linking forces with liberal advocacy groups to pressure the court the white house is also organizing demonstrations during the proceedings including a prayerful witness encircling the supreme court trying to intimidate the court the executive branch is supposed to speak through its solicitor general not hooded mobs in the street this just intensifies obama s disrespect for our constitutional form of government like the catholic church it is one of the many obstacles in his imperial path once that happens the american republic will disappear and the president or dictator then could easily establish martial law and extend his reign to a lifetime of hurt for the american people the case hinges on the commerce clause which has always been about commercial and economic transactions not about people who refuse to make them but for the first time in history the obama government wants to mandate all the american people to buy something millions feel they don t need or even want this distinction is crucial if he can do it with health insurance he can do it with automobiles and every other product under the sun everyone will be driving a gm volt which is as good as the russian lada was is this american lada in our future by mandate as the wsj says the government is claiming it can create commerce so it has something to regulate this is another way of describing plenary police powers regulations of private behavior to advance order and welfare the only two exceptions are for jury duty and military conscription the latter was eliminated in the 1970s by president nixon the axiom with this has been until now presidents can make rules for actions and objects while states can make rules for people obama is in serious violation of this long term principle obamacare requires a vision of the commerce clause that is so broad that it would erase dual sovereignty and extend the new reach of federal police powers into every sphere of what used to be private freedom this is the most salient issue here contrary to what the catholic church thinks this is about much more than religious freedom i think it has been the real reason behind his health care plan according to commentator rush limbaugh this is a siege on the constitution once it is neutered they can consolidate their powers at record speeds in a past essay i briefly alluded to obama s second inaugural address from a balcony the balcony i had in mind is reminiscent of the one our tour bus drove by in rome in 2006 it was the same one that el duce addressed his fascist supporters over 85 years ago will we see a rerun in january have i been smoking too much algae or is this what our president has in store for us after his re election is this our future to answer sinclair lewis rhetorical

part i hovered around a b seldom cracking the rarefied air of a s and b s that was even when the professors deliberately inflated our grades in junior year to keep us out of vietnam a poker hand will illustrate my senior year during the first semester i had an academic straight a b b c and a c that averages to an even b the last semester of my college career i had five of a kind you guessed it all b s of all the myriad of tests i took over those four years there is just one grade that still frosts my pancakes that was a paper i wrote for our sophomore rhetoric class in 1963 the prof s name was father madden and the question he posed to us was the catholic church a democratic institution is the church a democracy after some thinking and a little research i argued that the catholic church was not a democratic institution for all the obvious reasons catholics do not elect any of their leaders nor do they have much say so about doctrinal questions the pope is their shepherd and they are his sheep as a cradle catholic i have no qualms with that structure given its religious nature the pope is infallible in certain limited occasions when speaking ex cathedra in questions of faith and morals to my knowledge this has happened only two or three times and two of them had to do with the blessed mother of jesus i have no trouble with this at all so when i got my grade a d i was totally shocked after nearly 50 years of retrospect perhaps my bad grade was attributable to my misunderstanding what he meant by democratic i was thinking democracy and the greeks and he was thinking kennedy and johnson maybe this was why i got a d this has been a realization that was very late in coming many catholic priests and laymen i have encountered over the years had been completely enamoured with the presidency and personality of franklin roosevelt the nation s first great class warrior despite his patrician heritage fdr demonized the malefactors of wealth and at one time wanted to tax a 100 of the income above 25 000 a year that makes the current president sound almost conservative by comparison the democratic party under roosevelt also had done a great deal to foster unionism and big labor in america these thugs are now an integral part of the obama militia roosevelt liked to deal in collectives blocks i almost said soviet because he could control his base better that way unions were perfect organizations for this purpose people were sheep to him and he had a number of underlings such as the marxist harry hopkins who knew how to wield the shepherd s staff all catholics had to do was substitute the great white father for their pope millions of catholic felt that he was their modern savior who had rescued them from the depression that in reality he had extended and intensified roosevelt s false pretenses towards the poor also resonated well with these catholics when roosevelt defeated oppression all over the world almost single handed his status was elevated to not quite saint but definitely legend this erroneous roseveltian legacy was handed down from father to son and so on for several generations just like being a dodger a yankee or even a st louis brown was passed on as part of a father s legacy passed his legacy as they did baseball team loyalty this analysis goes a long way to explain the catholic church s continued infatuation with our current president despite his overt anti catholicism that seems to permeate his political agenda while the catholic pontiff does have some protection from error it does not cover his bishops especially when the subject is economics wealth and greed president obama has played the same greed card that his ideological mentor played over 80 years ago and it still works millions of catholics are quick to demonize and even hate the very people whose riches and wealth helps to support their churches and the poor but church leaders do have their principles they value the freedom to teach and practice the faith that the president demeans and attacks the proverbial straw was reached when he underlined his mandate that the church had to pay for many things that the church has consistently condemned oral contraceptives the morning after pill and even sterilizations this assault was a calculated risk in the president s re election strategy of dividing the catholic church part of his catholic strategy he knew that millions of women including many catholic women have availed themselves of these proscribed pills and procedures like the phony war in 1940 obama had created the war on women that did not exists hoping to pit millions of american women against a celibate priesthood that was still looking over its collective shoulder because of the infamous homosexual scandal that rocked its very foundation the last 15 years this was ironic because the church had been on board for virtually every part of the autocratic health care bill that not only threatened freedom but also lives understood the meaning of freedom now that the church s oxen have been gorged they have awakened from their docile acceptance of the autocratic intrusion of obamacare into the of millions of americans all in the name of the poor and downtrodden their awakening has not restored my faith in their leadership against this most adroit disciple of atheist saul alinsky sadly the bishops have missed the larger issue and that is freedom not just religious freedom but the human freedom to choose the way they wish to live for 80 years democratic politicians and some republicans have been gradually raising the temperature on the waters of american life to the extent that we have become a nation of frogs and not human beings it is also ironic that the catholic church does not support human freedom more than it does many of its leaders seem drawn toward the utopian promises of karl marx more than the prophetic statements of jesus where would the catholic church be without man s free will it is a central teaching because without it there is no fall of man and therefore no sin without sin there is no need for a redeemer free will made this possible if there were no redeemer there would be no jesus and no catholic church but many catholic leaders seemed perplexed by free markets and freedom of conscience when i use those terms i use them in strictest accord with catholic teachings on individual responsibility for example freedom does not mean the license to kill the unborn or steal from your neighbor all freedoms are tempered by the seven deadly sins and the 10 commandments that s what morality is all about so as we prepare for the dog days of politics in august and september and see the catholic church in the middle of the struggle it would be wise to relate to the uninformed all the dynamics that will be unfolding before our very eyes during the most important year in american history since maybe 2012 will be not remembered for any mayan prophecy but for what the american voters decided their future to be were he alive i wonder what father madden would have to say about this paper might not do as well this time posted in uncategorized tags a nation of frogs free
