Freedom of Worship

Obama speaks of freedom of worship, and no longer freedom of religion. What’s the difference? You can hide in your church and do your rituals in Obamaville, but you can’t exercise the tenets of your faith in the public square. The government will not let you behave as your religion directs.
This difference is what Santorum was highlighting when he spoke of Kennedy’s speech. Kennedy was assuring the potential opposition that he would NOT BEHAVE AS HIS RELIGION DIRECTED. In retrospect, we know that is the case, from his governmental dealings to his use and prostitution of his 19 year old intern mistress. There remain practicing Catholics who find the Kennedy family, Pelosi, and Biden to be an embarrassment.
Obama has clearly indicated that Christians are consigned to the statist version of dhimmitude. He is willing to accept millions of deaths resulting from dissolution of a huge portion of our health care institutions in order to complete his downsizing of America.

Santorum Thinks Obama’s Theology is Bogus

How does Obama, who so fiercely defended the practice of infanticide in Illinois, get a pass for reading from his teleprompters about the practice of communicating with God, and the phony theology of others.

The media is all over Santorum for saying something about Obama’s false religion of ‘climate change’ not being Bible based.

Could it be SAaaaTAAAAAAAAN!???
Pharmer imagines many media figures with heads spinning 360 degrees, as they express pretended shock over Santorum speaking of the time honored concept of personified evil.

Santorum’s Support of Arlen Specter – Pro-life Maneuvering?

Playing pro-life political chess – Jill Stanek.

Joel Brind tells the story of  Rick Santorum’s support of Arlen Specter, which many pro-life people thought was a terrible mistake, or a  betrayal.

According to Brind, there was a  story behind the story, and a driving need to keep a Republican senate majority in order to get Bush’s Supreme Court nominees through the Judiciary committee.

The strategic thinking at the time was that pro-lifer Pat Toomey could not carry the election  if he had beaten Specter in the primary, and the Dems could have taken a majority in the Senate.  Santorum’s endorsement was part of a trade with Specter for his promise  to behave himself as head of the Judiciary Committee, and do the job Bush needed him to do.

Brind credits this maneuvering for the placement of Justices Roberts and Alito.   Check that story for yourself and see what you think.

Addressing John Gehring’s Attack on Conservative Catholics

Pharmer spotted the  pretentious  John Gehring  telling us that it is a violation of  Catholic  teaching to support Rick Santorum.

Our CINO (Catholic in name only) lefties continually abuse the seamless garment type of philosophy in order to justify their own political views.
Basically they have supported a pro-abortion, pro-infanticide president and regime, in order to obtain some benefits from his promises to redistribute the wealth. One could compare such people to prostitutes, but that would be an unwarranted insult to the sex workers. CINOs instead forfeit the lives of their fellow humans in order to obtain largess from the government for their own personal interests and gain.

CINOs have pushed for a program of forced redistribution of wealth, which discourages personal charity and relegates the responsibility to a government which has become corrupt.

The greenie CINOs ignore the government’s forcing us to bring toxic levels of mercury into our homes (easily broken compact fluorescent bulbs) in the name of energy efficiency. They also ignore the extreme toxicity of lithium battery production for their greenie cars. They ignore the deaths of millions (from malaria and starvation) caused by irrational risk assessments by environmentalists, who ban pesticides. Those are their late term, human sacrifices to Mother Earth.

The CINOs look to unions to facilitate income redistribution while at the same time supporting tax and regulatory policies which have driven job creating corporations overseas. The Union workers and public sector workers are making much greater salaries on average than those from whom CINOs wish to extract taxes for bailing out the union pension plans. Meanwhile the dearth of U.S. jobs has sent immigrants with legitimate work permits back to Mexico, and American Blacks are suffering  increasingly worse unemployment than Whites.

So far CINOs have not seen much return on their personal investment in wealth redistribution. Pharmer is comforted by the fact that very few of these people will obtain even scraps from the tables of the corrupt politicians to whom they cling.

Lastly, if the Catholic Church really were actually teaching the garbage that John Gehring is expelling, This lifelong Catholic would have already found another religion.

No, This is Not Beneath Alan Colmes

Lowry Calls Out Alan Colmes for Mocking Death of Santorum’s Baby | Video | TheBlaze.com.

Nothing is beneath him.  Alan Colmes is probably suffering from some PSTD due to severe abuse in childhood.

Pharmer imagines him to have been the one given the most swirlies in grade school.

Deriving odd pleasure from death and grief of others is Alan’s thing,  and his treatment of the Santorum family’s grieving ritual, after the death of their baby, is fully within character.

In Pharmer’s radio  interview with Alan, he gleefully brought up California’s legislative effort in favor of euthanasia, just to obtain a bit more heat in the exchange, regarding health professionals who don’t want to take part in abortion.  The pleasure he was obtaining from the prospect of more medicalized killing was palpable.  That he obtained Matthews-style  tingle was not outside the realm of possibility.

There is something seriously wrong with Alan Colmes, and perhaps his place in media is as a sort of circus sideshow,  for shock value.

On the other hand, It’s good to see the Duggar Family up in Iowa, stumping for Santorum. A message to Republican elites…. the conservatives are coming
