VATICAN BLASTS OBAMA'S 'ARROGANCE'

Referring to the new President's attitude as one of 'arrogance,' the Vatican has blasted Barack Obama for his policy change that will in essence make the U.S. the world's largest exporter of abortion/infanticide.

During the years of the Bush Presidency, funding for abortion programs around the world was banned by executive order.

But now that the most extremist advocate for abortion and infanticide in the U.S. Senate is President of the U.S., once again American tax dollars will flow all over the world to fund baby killing, in spite of the financial woes we face here at home.

Here is a part of the statement:

It is "the arrogance of someone who believes they are right, in signing a decree which will open the door to abortion and thus to the destruction of human life," Archbishop Rino Fisichella was quoted as saying by the Corriere della Sera daily.

Fisichella is president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, one of a number of so-called pontifical academies which are formed by or under the direction of the Holy See.

"What is important is to know how to listen... without locking oneself into ideological visions with the arrogance of a person who, having the power, thinks they can decide on life and death," he added.

Obama Will Provide Funding for Overseas Abortions

Today it was announced that Obama will fund foreign abortions.
FOX News reported:

President Obama will issue an executive order on Thursday reversing the Bush administration policy that bans the use of federal dollars by non-governmental organizations that discuss or provide abortions outside of the United States.

As we reported in our 'Political Buzz' segment yesterday, this was one of Barack Obama's top priorities after becoming President, in keeping with his background in Illinois as being one of the most rabid supporters of infanticide/abortion in the nation.

Now, by executive order, our tax dollars will fund abortions overseas.

Faith-Based Hospitals in Danger Under Obama

Barack Obama, along with his liberal Democrat colleagues, will pose a serious threat to faith-based hospitals.

Obama is set to sign a bill into law that is known as the 'Freedom of Choice Act,' which would force hospitals to perform abortions or risk losing federal funds.

This sweeping piece of legislation is the darling of the Left, abortion-rights activists, infanticide-proponents, and other extremist groups in America.

The Act would have the effect of overriding almost all state laws imposing sensible limits on abortion, clearing the way for a nation-wide policy of abortion-on-demand.

And hospitals that are owned and operated by faith groups would be forced to begin performing abortions or lose federal dollars for healthcare.

The Catholic Bishop of Arlington, Virginia has stated that he will defy the new Act if it becomes law.

Good for him.

This should be the stance of all conservative faith-based hospitals including the scores of Baptist, Catholic, and Seventh-Day Adventist medical facilities around the country.

In this one act alone, the Obama administration is proving to be the single most pro-abortion administration this country has ever seen--a sobering fact that should give serious pause to those Christians who went into the voting booth and pulled the lever for Obama.

This is yet another example of the statement of one of the Founding Fathers, 'The citizens get the government they deserve.'

This is the consequence of electing this man to office. And there is much more to come.

HERE THEY COME! (FINALLY)

Apparently the forces of the Christian conservative movement in America have finally gotten a taste of revival as we enter the final 2 weeks of Campaign '08.

Just yesterday I lamented the apparent lack of passion and zeal among Christian conservatives to mobilize to defeat an admitted advocate for abortion-infanticide, Barack Obama.

And then today I was surprised, pleasantly surprised, to find THIS.

Many Christians across the nation are engaged in a season of '40 Days of Prayer' in the lead-up to the election on November 4. Maybe those prayers are resulting in some feet being moved to get to work.

Barack Obama is not an acceptable alternative to John McCain for ANY person of faith. Not only has Obama consistently opposed any and all attempts to ban the gruesome 'partial birth abortion' procedure, but he voted 4 TIMES to disallow medical care to be given to babies who survive botched abortion attempts.

That is nothing less than sheer infanticide. And if Obama is elected to the White House, you will have the first American President who openly supported and voted for baby killing.

This is not mere abortion we are talking about here. This is infanticide, which is far, far worse.

We CANNOT allow such a hideous manifestation of humanity to occupy the highest office in the land.

Can You Believe THIS!?

The world of politics has just sunk to a new low as information has come in concerning a new Barack Obama website that claims the candidate is pro-life.

The name of the website says it all--'Pro-life Obama.'

But there is just one problem. Obama is not pro-life and never has been. Rather, Obama is one of the most rabid proponents of not only abortion but infanticide that the nation has ever seen.

This is nothing less than sheer deception, a blatant, brazen attempt at deceiving voters into believing that Obama is anti-abortion.

The site is an outrage. The fact that a campaign and a political party would do such a thing is beneath contempt.

And it shows the level to which Obama and the Democrats will sink just to get their man elected.

The Watergate burglars had more integrity than this crowd.

Of course, the issue brings up the subject of why would Obama wish to run so quickly away from his record. At every turn in this campaign, Obama has sought to back-peddle from stated positions and hide his votes in the Senate and in the Illinois legislature.

The reason is clear. His record is so outside the American mainstream that if most voters knew the real truth, they would run from Obama as fast as they could.

Remember, this is the man who voted to prevent babies that survive botched abortions from receiving medical care.

The fact that most average Americans do not know about this is proof of the Obama campaign's deception and the mainstream media's complicity in that deception.

Obama-Barbaric Attack on Abortion Survivor

In response to a McCain-Palin ad that highlights Barack Obama's proven support for infanticide while a legislator in Illinois, Obama went barbaric in his attack on the abortion survivor who is featured in an independent ad that was not produced by the McCain campaign but was aired to allow the woman to tell her story.

Barbarism seems to be the standard response of Obama to infants who survive abortion, even when they become adults!

Many of a libertarian bent in today's society seem to think that laws against abortion are some sort of infringement on an inherent human right. Funny they don't think fathers and mothers who murder their 3-year-old children are simply exercising an inherent human right.

In a civil society we have laws against taking human lives, and rightly so. Abortion and infanticide are two hideous crimes against humanity. Being a staunch libertarian and a staunch opponent of these acts of barbarism are not mutually exclusive.

The case at issue is an Illinois baby that was aborted but survived the procedure and placed in a dark closet to die, without food or water. Barack Obama voted to disallow medical care to be given to such babies who survive abortion attempts.

Obama defends himself by pulling some kind of legal, local-federal mumbo-jumbo to make it seem as though he didn't really support withholding medical care from that infant. The tactic is a red herring. The bottom line is that he believes babies who survive abortion attempts should be killed.

Hence, his barbaric attacks against the woman who survived an abortion attempt. In the video and commentary you will find at Gateway Pundit, you will see first-hand that the sleazy Obama has been caught red-handed in a barefaced lie about the most basic of human rights--the right to life.
