Nancy Pelosi, who understands Catholic teaching better than the Pope, assured Tom Brokaw this weekend that her pro-abortion beliefs in no way conflict with her religion. She's wrong. The Catholic position? Abortion a sin.
Pelosi, the Kennedys, Biden, and every other pro-abotion Catholic politicians oppose their church. And don't give me that "I'm not pro-abortion, I'm pro-choice" argument. You're either for it or you're against it!
Pro-abortion Catholic politicians are arrogance personified. And not for opposing their church, but for the weasel way they do it. If you're going to oppose your church's tenets, fine. This isn't the dark ages. But at least defend your position on it merits. Don't try to twist a 2000 year old belief held by billions of people.
The Pope, at 80 years old and with decades of theological study under his belt is wrong. Those great religious thinkers Pope Pelosi and Monsignor Kennedy are right. Oh, also, every printed word going back to early Christian writing of the second century? They're all wrong too. Pope Pelosi said so.
And they dare call President Bush arrogant?
Hot Air has a short, meticulously researched post on the issue. Please go read it if you want to see just how wrong Madam Speaker is on this issue.
Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama are intelligent, hardworking politicians with boundless self-esteem. Uber-achievers that they are, they've abandoned pedestrian political dreams and instead are grasping at divinity:
Here's a Speaker Pelosi quote from Politico:“I’m trying to save the planet; I’m trying to save the planet,” she says impatiently when questioned. “I will not have this debate trivialized by their excuse for their failed policy.”
Here is a Senator Obama's quote upon his winning the nomination:
"I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal"
Does anyone remember a time, not so long ago, when such delusions of grandeur would be laughed off the public stage? What has happened to our politics, and what has happened to us as a nation when politicians can make such grandiose, messiah-complex statements and we just shrug it off? Especially given government's trail of bureaucratic failures and broken dreams.
Next year's projected budget deficit is almost a half-trillion dollars and the federal debt is approaching 10 trillion. We're sitting on natural resources that would bolster our economy while simultaneously allowing us to tell the petro-crooks to shove it while goring their cash cow in the process.
Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi, a pro-abortion Catholic, is channeling Jesus while Obama plays Moses parting the Red Sea.
Hey, Nancy and Barack! Wanna play God? You can start a little closer to the ground by taming the government spending tempests and healing our energy woes with some unrestricted oil drilling.
Leave the world-saving and ocean lowering to God... or Poseidon.
