The story of David Axelrod’s daughter Lauren is heartwarming. It is the story of how the love and caring of a child’s parents can triumph over terrible physical and mental disabilities. From her infancy Lauren had epileptic attacks that numbered as many as 25 a day in her teens. There seemed to be no hope of Lauren’s ever recovering from the ravaging disease that eventually caused irreversible brain damage that left her developmentally disabled.
In 2000, a doctor told the Axelrods a new anti-convulsant drug called Keppra might help end Lauren’s seizures. The new drug worked well enough to end the attacks in just a few days. The seizures behind her, Lauren would still need total 24 hour attention because she was unable to care for herself even for brief periods.
The stress of this ordeal must have been enormous on the entire family, especially her parents. What would happen to Lauren when they died became a constant concern for the Axelrods. Enter Misericordia, a truly special place in Chicago, whose name means “Heart of Mercy” in the Latin used by the Roman Catholic Church. Misericordia a 600 bed facility for developmentally disabled people of all ages is run by the Sisters of Mercy an order of Roman Catholic nuns who take a vow of both poverty and chastity. Their mission is to serve the poor.
By all accounts, Lauren Axelrod has thrived and been happy at Misericordia. Her residing there has lifted an enormous burden from her parents’ shoulders. If this was the end of the story it would be an example of answered prayers, but it is not.
As one of Obamacrare’s biggest supporters, David Axelrod has been busy gnawing away at the religious freedoms enjoyed by the Sisters at Misericordia. He has joined with the rest of Barack Obama’s staff in making sure a Catholic institution like the one that has lovingly cared for his daughter must now have to choose between continuing its mission of helping the developmentally disabled (and violating Catholic doctrine to do so), or shutting its doors to remain true to Catholic teachings.
Because David Axelrod intends to force Catholic institutions including Misericoria to offer abortion and contraception coverage in healthcare plans for their employees, Sister Rosemary Connelly, its administrator, will either have to stop offering her employee health care plans (including one for herself and the other nuns on her staff), or just shut her facility down.
Axelrod is an ungrateful man whose desire to destroy America has blinded him to common decency. Being the swine that he is, his reaction to this charge would be to say that his family is off limits. Nevertheless, it is Mister Axelrod who has put our families in danger and the truth is the truth. His actions have put millions of developmentally disabled persons who absolutely depend on Catholic institutions for each new day of life in grave jeopardy.

Now that guy is a creepy playground watcher.
David Axelrod is the opitome of evil, then again, nothing seems to matter to many of these far left Democrats other than to win at all costs, irrespective of how it affects anyone, including members of their own families. If the Catholic Institution that cares for his daughter 24-7 ends up having to close, where does he think she will go to be taken care off after he and his wife passes? The truth is he obviously does not care, at a minimum you would have thought that Axlerod would have had “Barry” give that Catholic Institution a pass, since Nancy Pelosi was able to get many organizations, including some of her favorite restaurants in her district a pass. One would think that giving the Catholic Institution a pass, especially one that looks after so many needy people, including Axelrod’s daughter would receive a pass over a restaurant that serves Nancy Pelosi whatever she orders when she dines there. Obama’s hatred for the Catholic Church and most other religions, except for the Muslim religion is more than obvious and hopefully if he loses the Catholic vote, coupled with losing many African American votes, after having somewhat come out of the closet (Google Sinclair and Obama), hopefully couple that with the Jewish vote’s he will lose because of his poor treatment of Israel, he might end up moving back to Chicago and giving up access to Air Force One, before the end of 2012.
Sister Rosemary tell axelrod to come and pick up his daughter. Just tell him that care is no longer available there for her and that he has to take care of her. He is another one that needs to be jailed.
The man is a Jew, so he hates Christians like poison. Look at his face. A kiddy watcher if ever I saw one.
I am a christian, married to a Jew. You disgust me, you are behaving like the right wing version of Obamas supporters. Axelrod is behaving exactly like a radical leftwinger with no human feelings. The ideology is everything. All real religions, Christian, both catholic and protestant, Jewish all sects, Budhists, Hindus, Even Muslims, who hate everybody, should join in fighting the cancer which is Axelrod and crew. Because after he finishes with Christians, it will be another religion in the spotlight. Religion has no place in the life of the leftwing idealologists.

Perhaps Axelrod is so stressed and bitter that he is angry at the whole world and needs to punish the world that he lives in as retaliation for his bad luck. I have often wondered why any sane person would help destroy the United States while living here. Helping Obama and his gang of communists is what I call “aiding and giving comfort to the enemy”. Axelrod had best hope he is denied what he is working for, as he and his family are likely to be among the first to be disposed of by the regime that he was responsible for helping bring to power. That has been the habit of all communists when attaining the power to carry it out. Axelrod should take a long, sober look at what he is doing!
Put a Hitler muctache on him and he would be a dead ringer to Hitler.
I copied the picture and played with it using Windows Paint.
You are right! Dead ringer for Der Schicklegruber.
This guy looks like a maniac, and talks like he’s addled. He’s no longer capable of attaining a character to be admired; ‘course all Democrats are nuts !
Look at Axelrod. Look at him properly. He’s a white member of the Black panthers, all dressed up in his black leather jacket. All that’s missing is the black beret, the blacked out sun-glasses and the rifle.
Axelrod can be classified as the modern day Goebels, Hitlers side kick. Aboma’s entire team are behaving exactly as was happening in Germany in 1933. By 2013, USA will be a fascist state like Germany and Italy in 1933 with the “O” as Dictator in Chief, Holder head of the US Gestapo, Axelrod probably running the Department of Truth. 1984 will finally have arrived.
Karma is a bitch……
