It is Up To Catholics To Decide The Future Of This Country

I think that is pretty much how we can sum it up. It will be largely Mass Going Catholics ( I am not talking the CINO's here) that will decide this election in this battleground states

If McCain loses there will be a huge effort to blame him. However we must not delude ourselves. The Bishops have been clearer than ever what is at stake in this election. A few weeks ago in the Battleground State of Penn the Bishop of Scranton had this read in every Church. There was a captive audience that could not change the channel and heard it straight out. This is being repeated all over the place. I mean if Catholics say for instance in the Battle Ground state of Colorado don't care what Archbishop is saying where we can't say McCain could have done better. I mean he wrote a book on the topic.

In fact if McCain /Palin loses and there is a huge vote for Obama by Mass going Catholics I fear that we shall blame campaign tactics and not look at ourselves in the mirror

The best article yet this year on Obama pro abortion extremist views and the consequences is Obama's Abortion Extremism by Robert George . McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence and Director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University. He is a member of the President's Council on Bioethics and previously served on the United States Commission on Civil Rights.

I urge all to read it. Here is a part:

What kind of America do we want our beloved nation to be? Barack Obama's America is one in which being human just isn't enough to warrant care and protection. It is an America where the unborn may legitimately be killed without legal restriction, even by the grisly practice of partial-birth abortion. It is an America where a baby who survives abortion is not even entitled to comfort care as she dies on a stainless steel table or in a soiled linen bin. It is a nation in which some members of the human family are regarded as inferior and others superior in fundamental dignity and rights. In Obama's America, public policy would make a mockery of the great constitutional principle of the equal protection of the law. In perhaps the most telling comment made by any candidate in either party in this election year, Senator Obama, when asked by Rick Warren when a baby gets human rights, replied: "that question is above my pay grade." It was a profoundly disingenuous answer: For even at a state senator's pay grade, Obama presumed to answer that question with blind certainty.

His unspoken answer then, as now, is chilling: human beings have no rights until infancy - and if they are unwanted survivors of attempted abortions, not even then. In the end, the efforts of Obama's apologists to depict their man as the true pro-life candidate that Catholics and Evangelicals may and even should vote for, doesn't even amount to a nice try. Voting for the most extreme pro-abortion political candidate in American history is not the way to save unborn babies.

The whole thing is a good read and if you vote for Obama and have decided not to listen to Bishops from increasing Battle Ground States sounding the warning bell well at least you have been warned. People are going to find it hard to claim ignornace.

Anyone that thinks any of the Catholic Social Justice Ethic can survive such a potential atmosphere of death is I hate to say deluding yourselves. That is a country I start to fear living in.
