Ironically, on October 25th, 2000 at a pierside ceremony ceremony commemorating the 17 young American men and women "standing guard for peace," who died in a terrorist attack on the USS Cole, President Clinton said the spirit of those honored today "must surely confound the minds of the hate-filled terrorists who killed them....To those who attacked them we say, you will not find a safe harbor. We will find you. And justice will prevail."
Yet now here comes this disgrace of a President who will not let justice prevail and even slaps justice in the face. A slap in the face of every single Sailor, Marine, Soldier and Airman that is serving or has ever served, in the face. He spits in the face of our military and secures himself a disgraceful place in history as our first Commander-in-Chief that did not attend the Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball. An embarrassment and a disgrace to our great nation.
What kind of man is leading this country? What kind of man drops the charges on a person that committed an ACT OF WAR against the United States that took the lives of 17 of MY SHIPMATES?
Let the United States Constitution tell you what kind:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
YOU are the power in America. You be the judge. I've already made up my mind. This is an act of High Treason by a traitor to America.
Abortion is murder. Plain and simple. This botched abortion resulted in the live birth of a baby that was bagged, treated like garbage and murdered. Murdered by the owner of the clinic. Murdered by the "Doctor" that was late. Murdered by the mother who refused to deal with the consequences of her poor decisions and failed lifestyle. Murdered by those who support and condone abortions. And yes, even murdered by every American taxpayer that funds these atrocities and hasn't stood up for what is right in defense of the innocent.
LifeNews.com reports the Dr. may lose his license and murder charges may be filed HERE
''This has to be a homicide, an unlawful killing. It could be manslaughter, but we believe it falls in that realm,'' Police Chief Overton said.
I actually feel physically ill after reading this. My heart is sickened and I wish it were an isolated incident, but it's not. Except for a few details and the obvious screw-ups, this isn't that far from what actually happens in every abortion.
WARNING: The following links will show you graphic abortion photos. Please prepare yourself and may God have mercy on these poor babies.

To see graphic pictures of abortions at various weeks, click HERE.
No human being with a heart can look at those photos and say that is anything but a human baby. So what if it isn't fully developed? It is still a life, not a "fetus". What kind of a people have we become where we murder our offspring before they're developed out of some twisted sense of entitlement? Maintaining one's irresponsible lifestyle is no reason to murder and the consequences should be carefully considered LONG BEFORE getting into any situation where you could get pregnant.
I am so sickened and ashamed to live in a country that allows abortions and where things like this are bound to happen. If you agree with abortion or "choice", may your chains sit lightly upon you and history forget that you were our countryman.
Though we don't deserve it, may God have mercy on America.
As reported today by the Catholic League, a video offensive to Catholics that mocks the Eucharist and the Catholic faith was produced by ITVS, an organization funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Public TV and your tax dollars.
As a Catholic and a Christian, I am offended by this depiction of the desecration of the Holy Eucharist and of the Priesthood.
I find no humor in this mockery of my faith video and it speaks not to the intelligence or wit of its creators or distributors, but to the more baser emotions of fear and ignorance of that which is not understand - the Holy Catholic Church.
No matter what you believe, it is wrong to mock God. Even if you don't believe, as Mark Twain said "True irreverence is disrespect for another man's God". It becomes all too easy to destroy through hatred and mockery, rather than create and build up through Love as Christ taught us. As such, these little jabs don't hurt the Catholic Church as she will stand against the very gates of hell. What is then, the point of this video? Only to mock and jeer at our faith and Church, much as Christ Himself was mocked and jeered.
How is mocking someone’s beliefs any different than mocking their skin color? Or perhaps their gender? I will not accept that one is more acceptable than the other. All are equally wrong.
My faith is very strong so videos such as this only strengthen my belief and resolve. If the whole world turned against me for being Catholic, I would gratefully accept the persecution with grace and still never change my beliefs. However it is still offensive and insulting to 64.2 million Catholic Americans (22%) and 1.1 billion Catholics worldwide.
Please take down this video. I await your response.
Sincerely,
Mr. Robert Cavalcante Jr. http://catholicconservativeamerican.blogspot.com
Live Action Films (A New Media Movement for Life) has just released their third undercover video in the Mona Lisa Project, a series of videos that are catching the murderers at Planned Parenthood covering up the alleged rape of another alleged 15 year old girl. How much more of this is there? I am furious about this whole thing. Are you MAD yet? How much more will it take to make you get you up do something about this?
If this weren't also a Catholic blog, I'd let loose with how I really feel about this mess, but I'll stay on the high ground. For those that prefer, use your imagination and insert various colorful expletives in my native New Jersey Italian style (think Sopranos) and you'll get the picture.
Here's the video of undercover pro-life activist Lila Rose being "counseled" by a Planned Parenthood counselor to work the system around the parental notification, NOT reporting this alleged rape of a 15 year old minor by a 27 year old adult to the authorities immediately as required by law, and then telling her to hide that fact!
How much more of this blatant, in-your-face disregard for the law, disregard for women, and most importantly disrespect for human life are we as Americans going to tolerate? Planned Parenthood, as designed by the known racist and disgrace to America: Margaret Sanger, remains an insult to American decency and morals and perpetuates the "American Culture of Death".
Abortion is murder and Planned Parenthood employees are murderers.
3) Call, e-mail or fax your legislators and let them know that you're mad as hell about this and not going to take it any more!
Sitting by while others do all the work is not very Christian. Take a stand to defend innocent life as we are all commanded to do. Let's get Roe v. Wade overturned and start defending innocent life.
Let's get this clear...Abortion is MURDER. Abortion is a terminal life destroying social disease that is being intentionally spread by Planned Parenthood, NARAL et. al, and being supported by the progressive establishment and it has no place in America. It is a cancer in the body of America. As Americans we believe in Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness and you'll note that Life is first and foremost for without life, there is nothing else. Liberty means being free from tyranny and not having to live in fear of your government or of anyone. Having liberty does not mean you can do whatever you want, whenever you want and with no repercussions. With liberty, freedom and independence come responsibility and accountability. And your happiness is not guaranteed either, only the pursuit of happiness. It is up to the individual to define what makes them happy, then pursue it.
Lifestyles that lead to the death of ones self or of another, are both counter to the principles of freedom, contrary to life itself and an aberration. Freedom does NOT mean having the right to destroy life, yourself or your society. How can you stop this? BE RESPONSIBLE and stop living a self-destructive and socially destructive lifestyle! (Here's a clue: SEX = PREGNANCY) American cannot remain a great nation whilst her people sit idly by and witness such atrocities. One person's rights end where another's rights begin and forcing American taxpayers who are against the murder of innocent unborn babies to fund Planned Parenthood to the tune of $300+ million dollars per year IS TYRANNY!! Any government, body, corporation, entity, organization, group or person that performs or supports abortion and the public subsidizing of abortions is a TYRANNICAL MURDERER OR ACCOMPLICE TO MURDER. Let's get this clear. I do not want Planned Parenthood and all abortionists to operate within the confines of the law. I want them to be dissolved, disbanded and disappear from the face of the earth. I want abortion to be considered and recognized by all to be the murderous and horrible act that it is. I want America to return to the values that once made her great, a beacon of compassion, liberty, freedom and justice to the whole world so we can regain our place as the greatest nation the world has ever known!
Until then, as long as our unborn children are being aborted/murdered and dying, so goes America.
Knowing he would likely be ostracized for speaking out against mainstream Hollywood and the liberal establishment, actor Gary Graham of Star Trek fame has had a change of heart and has taken the almost imperceptible path in Hollywood and spoken out bravely against abortion.
"No. I’m going to say it. I’m going to say what millions know in the front of their brains, and many, many more millions know in the depths of their hearts…but won’t allow themselves to think it, much less feel it. And believe me, I know I’ll be hated for saying it, I’ll be hated by people who don’t know me, have never worked with me, have never golfed with me, had a drink with me, shot the shit with me. They’ve never met me, don’t want to meet me…but they will hate me. I’m going to say it anyway: Abortion is murder."
In this article originally posted on the Big Hollywood blog, Graham expresses his deepest thoughts, regrets and feelings:
"I have been on all sides of this issue for most of my life, and I can simply not escape the logic. That fetus a pregnant woman is carrying inside of her, regardless of the gestation stage, is a living, breathing human being. Yes, breathing – the amniotic sac forms 12 days after conception, and in the second trimester the baby is actually breathing the amniotic fluid. It’s not an ‘unviable tissue mass.’ Not a wart, a mole, a skin outcropping, a boil, or a bundle of uncoordinated cells. It’s not just a ‘fetus’.
It’s a baby. Not fully developed, true. Like an infant is not a fully developed and mature adult. But it’s a baby."
Gary shared his deepest secrets and bared his soul in this very touching story and said so perfectly what we already know - that abortion is murder. For that he deserves much respect and I give him all the credit in the world.
Please read Gary's original article and lend him your support and encouragement, if you feel so inclined. Almost all of the 429 comments were positive and I only saw a few that respectfully disagreed with him. Most of the negative comments were with other commenters, not Gary.
Gary, we are put here to Love one another, not to worry about being hated. If evil hates you, then you're in the right track brother. If the whole world be against you for taking this stand, then so be it! There are many of us that will gladly stand beside you. I will stand beside you.
Obama's progressive liberal radio station right in the heart of DC is throwing in the towel because there's just not enough listeners.
But why? Why does liberal radio always fail? The simple fact is that liberals just don't bother to listen to the radio. Think about it: Listening is not one of their strong points. Why should they want to hear other people's opinions? Silly Conservatives...
This is good news for Conservatives and Republicans, but I wonder if it'll add fuel to the "Fairness Doctrine" fire?
The Washington Post has reported that students from George Washington University's "College Democrats" have stooped to a new low by defacing the crosses that were to be used in a Pro-Life demonstration:
Minneapolis, Jan 31, 2009 / 03:43 pm (CNA).- A Catholic high school in Minnesota has denied honors for a state legislator who is a candidate for governor, citing his active support for “pro-choice issues.”
The school is the Academy of Holy Angels and her administration and President Jill M. Reilly are to be commended for upholding Catholic morals and virtues! I encourage you to contact them to show your support for their decision. I'm sure your words of encouragement will be most appreciated. Their contact info is here:
I hope this sort of thing will continue to spread throughout all our Catholic Schools, Parishes, Diocese, Archdiocese and even throughout our government. These legislators and all Catholics must understand that you cannot be Pro-Abortion (aka Anti-Life/Pro-Choice/Pro-Infanticide) and remain Catholic.
You cannot "pick and choose" what teachings you will obey based on what you like and dislike. Being Catholic means you believe with all your heart and soul in the Sacred Scripture (Bible) AND Sacred Traditions as handed down through apostolic succession AND the Magisterium (teaching authority of the church). It's not best 2 out of 3 or "pick-and-choose" as the truth that life is sacred from conception is eternal and not subject to changes in fashion or personal whim. It's all three or nothing. Take away any one and you are not a Catholic (CCC 2271-72).
If you are Pro-Abortion, then you do not believe what the Catholic Church teaches and are not a Catholic.
Happy Monday! You may have noticed the two new buttons to the right ----->
I wanted to let you know that this blog, Catholic Conservative American is now nominated for the 2009 Blogger's Choice Award for both Best Religion Blog and Best Political Blog! Yes, I nominated myself, but only after hearing from a few readers that they really liked the blog and there should be more like this. I completely agree!
We always hear how the two things you should never discuss in public are Politics and Religion. Well, I've never been called "PC" before so why start now? Here comes the Catholic Conservative American where we talk about both Politics AND Religion. I say it's that very attitude of "political correctness" that has kept the important issues of the day out of our conversations and "out of sight-out of mind", so to speak. I, for one, believe that attitude is responsible for many of the problems we have in America today. How can you develop and mature an opinion on the important issues of the day when all you worry about is offending someone? We should all be able to hear opposing viewpoints, intelligently and respectfully discuss them and defend our opinions and beliefs amongst others who may or may not hold those beliefs. Speak the truth with Love. If they still don't listen the problem is not yours, but theirs.
I say we as Americans NEED to talk about Religion and Politics more than ever and I for one will not be silent any longer! If you like my blog and think it worthy, please click on the button on the right or the links below and cast your vote!
Well folks, since my Giants weren't in the Super Bowl this year, my heart really wasn't in it. When that's the case I'll usually root for the team from our NFC East Division or the NFC so I was hoping for a Cardinal win.
I don't care for NBC's left leaning liberal bias and manipulation of the truth and avoid watching the network unless there is no choice, but I was excited to learn that they had agreed to air www.CatholicVote.com's very tasteful and professional pro-life commercial during the Super Bowl. Had they turned over a new leaf? I figured I'd watch the game, root for my Division and catch the commercial.
Everything was set, NBC had approved the commercial and the word was out amongst the Catholic news services, but it was short lived. NBC decided to pull the plug on the commercial claiming they were not interested in ads involving "political candidates or issues". You're kidding right? What nonsense and garbage and hypocrisy! They should have just been honest and said that they only allow commercials that further line their pockets or the pockets of their masters with cash or further their dysfunctional social agenda.
That flip-flop alone had earned a letter from me expressing my disgust. I half-heartedly sat down with my wife to watch the game to root for the Cardinals and all was going well until about 10 minutes into the game. I think it was at the second commercial break when I saw a commercial for the new movie sequel to The DaVinci Code: Angels and Demons.
WHAT? You've got to be kidding me?! So you're telling me that NBC pulled the plug on a Pro-Life commercial (and obviously very Pro-Catholic as they are synonymous), but then allowed a commercial to advertise a movie that is not only very anti-Catholic, but whose first movie and author were vehemently opposed by the Pope and the Catholic Church?
I will be sending a letter to NBC and the NFL letting them know why I didn't watch the game and to every advertiser that paid for a commercial in the Super Bowl explaining why I never saw their commercial and that as a consumer I am not interested in products sold by anyone that supports such blatant hatred for my faith.
I'll follow up with names and addresses as soon as I get them and I highly encourage every other Catholic or anyone that just thinks this behavior is wrong, to do the same.
