For discerning Roman Catholics, watching their fellow Catholic voters support Barack Obama by a 54 -45 margin in 2008 inspired them to wait for the opportunity to utter an inevitable “I told you so” — but there no joy in being right.
While we knew very very little about who Obama was at that time, since his election what has become known about him can best be elicited by bringing to mind the picture of a young, dope smoking Barack Obama wearing a straw and a Cheshire Cat grin. The picture of the 22-year-old Obama told us, “I’m gonna stick it to you, America” — an attitude we now live with everyday. That picture should be entitled, “The Fraud in the Straw Hat.”
Now the Fraud in the Straw Hat is sticking it to us, and it’s the Catholics’ turn. Because people like Cardinal George of Chicago who, as both the Bishop of Chicago (where Obama is reportedly from) and as head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) did essentially nothing to warn Catholics about the Fraud in the Straw Hat, Obama was elected our president.
Because of another collaborator with Obama and his evil, Fr. John Jenkins, the president of Notre Dame helped him gain respectably, Obama was able to force us into ObamaCare. When Jenkins invited Obama to be his commencement speaker in 2009, he gave him cover against the valid charge that Obama hates the Catholic Church. To be more precise, Obama hates the Church when Her clergy act like Catholic priests, but loves the Church when priests like Father Jenkins roll over and imitate liberal mainline Protestant ministers.
Now under new leadership, the USCCB is warning Obama that his steady destruction of marriage will “precipitate a national conflict between church and state of enormous proportions”
Father Jenkins has joined with the heads of other Catholic institutions to protest the sections of ObamaCare that will force them to provide abortions, either directly in the case of hospitals or indirectly in the healthcare packages they offer to their employees.
Where were these Catholic churchmen when it counted?
Sadly, the damage done by foolish Catholic voters and complacent Church leaders has been done. We can’t change the past. We can only hope that some intervening events stop ObamaCare and save marriage from his evil intentions. We can only pray that next year Catholics don’t get fooled by the dope smoking Fraud in the Straw Hat again. Willful ignorance has done enough damage.

Don’t hold your breath. There are still 47% of Americans who would still vote for Obama over any of the leading Republican contenters. How many Catholics out of that 47% are dim-witted enough to re-elect that Commie?
I can tell you where they were… protesting in FAVOR of Obamacare on the opposite side of the street from myself and my Tea Party brethren, carrying the real ‘astroturf’ signs — ‘Catholics for Health Care’ at the Capitol. It puzzled me how Catholics could be pro-life and support the bill. Of course, they were lied to, as was the rest of the country. Hopefully, we’ll unite peacefully with the Catholics on the right side of the street this time…. leaving just the communists/socialists/anarchists, illegals, union thugs and radical Islamists on the other side with the President, where they belong. Peace!
This article about the massive support for Obama amongst the Catholic faithful is attributal to the”Social Justice” aspect of Catholic Doctrine. Glenn Beck layed this out well on many of his shows where he featured religious leaders from varied faiths. It is the “Communist” influences dating back to the thirties among many Leftist Catholic Priests, that has confused and convinced people to vote so insanely. To willingly elect a”Regime” of thugs who want to destroy marriage and continue to encourage women to kill their un-born children is against the most basic Catholic beliefs. Any Nation/Country that encourages and promotes these things deserve neither the mercy or forgiveness of our Father. There are thankfully many of us Catholics that oppose this insanity and hopefully can encourage some of our errant Parishioners to vote this tyrant out of the White House. May God have Mercy on us.
SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE THE LEADERSHIP OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER LIBERALS (COMMUNISTS). UNTIL THESE HERITICS ARE REMOVED FROM POSITIONS OF POWER IT WON’T GET BETTER. WE HAVE TO RID OURSELVES OF LEADERS LIKE THE ARCHBISHOP OF CICAGO AND THE PRESIDENT OF NOTRE DAME UNIVERSITY..IF WE DO NOT DO THIS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH WILL DISAPPEAR.
The battle for this country will intensify and the Catholic Church is one of many entities caught up in the battle for the soul of America. Many denominations are already in the process of selling out to the Progressive, Secular void that is the popular culture. We must encourage and seek out better Leaders in our Church and in the Leaders of our Country.
