Excommunication Should Be the
Church's Next Option

Irish Examiner USA, by Alicia Colon Original Article

Posted By: Drive- 9/27/2012 7:37:21 AM Post Reply

Although I may not be the best Catholic I can be, at least I know my religion. It drives me crazy when politicians like Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Sen. John Kerry, VP Joe Biden and Gov. Andrew Cuomo who consider themselves Roman Catholics express such ignorance of its dogma. I blame their pastors for continuing to serve them in spite of their public heresy promoting issues that are against Church doctrine. But it is also very unnerving to hear President Obama twist Christian ideology to suit his campaign rhetoric.

Why Putin wants Obama to win

he 2012 U.S. presidential election presents a contrast to the 2008 election in terms of their perceptions by the Russian elite. In 2008, then-President Dmitry Medvedev expressed a desire to work with a "modern" U.S. leader rather than one "whose eyes are turned back to the past." He was referring to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. (Snip)Despite all the Kremlin's frustrations, it remains hopeful that Obama will be re-elected and that he will help to move U.S.-Russian relations forward. The stronger dialogue and engagement that may result from an Obama presidency is an opportunity to weaken nationalist

As the clock ticked toward midnight at the NFL offices inside 345 Park Ave. and Week?4’s slate of games grew closer Wednesday, the league and its referees’ union came to terms on a new collective bargaining agreement. The team owners lifted the three-month lockout, allowing the regular officials to return to the field, flags in hand, for Thursday night’s contest in Baltimore, where the Ravens and Browns will meet at M&T Bank Stadium. The settlement came at the end of a nonstop negotiation session. The two sides met for five consecutive days, the pace picking up

While President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad leisurely relishes the Manhattan highlife, his Iranian underlings have been scouring the town for low prices — including cheap shoes. Bargain-hunting members of the huge visiting delegation eagerly visited a Costco, a Payless shoe store, a Walgreens and a Duane Reade in recent days while hunting for discount products in short supply back home: Shampoo. Soap. Vitamins. Tylenol.“Since they are under sanctions, they can’t get this stuff,” a man assigned to work with the Iranians told the Daily News on Wednesday. “. . . (And) their money is weak compared to the dollar.”

In an article published shortly before 5 a.m. EDT on the morning of Sept. 26, The Daily Beast's Eli Lake revealed that three separate U.S. intelligence officials confirmed to him that within 24 hours of the September 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, the Obama administration had strong reason to suspect al Qaeda ties to the deadly violence. Lake noted that the identities of at least four of the participants in the attack on the consulate were found within 24 hours, one of which has been tracked by his use of social media.

Even with the Kyoto Protocol due to expire at the end of this year, Obama persists in giving highest priority to climate change policy if re-elected. Does the U.S. really want to lead the world in committing economic suicide? It pays to look at the rapidly disappearing scientific rationale for trying to mitigate a putative future global warming. (Snip) Two crucial points may have been overlooked in the debate: **Evidence for anthropogenic global warming (AGW) is problematic. **A modest warming is likely to be beneficial -- not damaging.

It's not a bird or a plane — it's a goat. A whole herd of goats. O'Hare International Airport is planning to sign on a shepherd and about 30 goats, sheep or other grazing animals to munch on overgrown brush at the perimeter of the airport later this fall. The chosen herder will be responsible for transporting the animals and maintaining them via a mobile electronic fence. The overgrown property is difficult for machinery to reach because of hills and standing water and will be easier for the herd of animals to handle than mowing or spraying with herbicides,

Endorsement of Romney

The media are digging deep to rain on Mitt Romney's Ohio campaign. On Wednesday, CNN's Brooke Baldwin stupidly wondered how golfer and Ohio-native Jack Nicklaus' endorsement of the candidate would help him with Ohio middle class voters. "But here you have – you have Romney needing middle class votes in Ohio. How is he helped by a man who has been the face of professional golf, doesn't even live in Ohio anymore?" Baldwin said in her pathetic attempt to play devil's advocate. [Video below the break. Audio here.]By her standards, she could have asked the same question

A new study released this week by researchers at Stanford and NYU has found that American drone strikes in Pakistan are killing far more civilians than advertised, taking out few high value targets, and have become the primary recruiting tool for the terrorist groups the policy is aimed at combating. The report, “Living Under Drones: Death, Injury, and Trauma to Civilians From US Drone Practices in Pakistan,” is based on “more than 130 interviews with victims, witnesses, and experts, and review of thousands of pages of documentation and media reporting” conducted over nine months.

There's an old saying that if you torture the data long enough, it will confess to anything. Proving the point, the Obama administration has put national employment statistics on the Procrustean table, and the poor numbers remarkably now "confess" to an improving jobs situation with an 8.1% unemployment rate -- even as fewer and fewer Americans are actually working each day. Obviously, if fewer folks are working, the jobs stats can improve only if the calculus is severely flawed. And it is. (More on this later.) This obvious data corruption renders the employment metric useless

In a humiliating admission, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said today that there was an explicit link between the al Qaeda network in North Africa and the deadly attacks on the U.S. consulate in Libya, backtracking from what the State Department had said previously. Speaking at a Security Council meeting at the United Nations, Mrs Clinton said an Algerian-founded branch of the al Qaeda network was situated in the area, using their location to plan and execute attacks, like the one in Benghazi on September 11. This goes directly against the initial statements of the White House and President

WASHINGTON- President Barack Obama is pitching a broad economic argument to voters ahead of next week's debate with Republican opponent Mitt Romney, buying TV time in seven battleground states to promote what he calls a "new economic patriotism." In a two-minute ad, Obama looks into the camera as he promotes an economic plan he says will create 1 million manufacturing jobs, cut oil imports and hire thousands of new teachers. The ad set to air in New Hampshire, Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Iowa, Nevada and Colorado comes as Obama and Republican Mitt Romney shadow each other while looking for votes

Lose your cool, Mr. President

He’s been called the king of cool, both for his pop culture appeal and for his detached calm. But being cool has cut both ways for President Obama. On one hand, it’s made a young and inexperienced President look confident in the face of tremendous responsibilities. The junior senator from Illinois was ill-prepared to handle a financial collapse of this magnitude, but you wouldn’t know it from his demeanor, which reads, “I got this.” On the other hand, being cool can also make him look arrogant. When he recently told David Letterman he couldn’t recall how big the national debt was,

Increasing numbers of patients are being banned from seeing their GP just for making a complaint, campaigners warn. They risk being unfairly struck off their surgery’s* list for reporting that their doctor has been rude or the practice has refused to offer them an appointment. Some family doctors are even forcing patients to undertake a phone interview before booking an appointment to ensure they are ill enough to be seen. The Patients Association said there has been a surge in the volume of calls to its helpline concerning ‘dismissive’ or ‘disrespectful’ GPs. The charity--which mainly deals with patients who

It was the commitment at the core of Barack Obama's candidacy, the most important promise he made to the American people: He would unify a divided nation. Again and again, he vowed to repair the political breach. To end the bitter polarization of American life, to do away with "slash-and-burn" politics that "tear us apart instead of bringing us together" -- above all else, that was the hope and the change he offered. At every milestone in Obama's journey to the White House -- from the keynote address in Boston that put him on the national radar

His preparation for his weekly grilling at Prime Minister’s Questions is exemplary. But nothing could prepare David Cameron for his appearance on David Letterman’s Late Show last night. The Prime Minister--in New York for a United Nations meeting--was tripped up by a general knowledge quiz on the US chat show. It had all started so well. The house band played Rule Britannia as he walked on stage and dry ice was pumped into the studio to replicate a London fog. But the apparently warm welcome quickly turned into a trap as Mr Letterman, famed for his acerbic wit, tested

If the ghost of Harry Potter seems to hover over the opening scenes of J.K. Rowling's first novel for adults, it has vanished by page 13, when the swearing starts. We are no longer at Hogwarts, with its child wizards and magical incantations. In "The Casual Vacancy," Ms. Rowling transports us to a dark contemporary version of George Eliot's village of Middlemarch, an outwardly pretty place with cobblestones and flower pots and a populace that slowly reveals itself to be seething with folly and ambition, marital and class tensions, and a dismaying degree

The World Health Organization (WHO) is considering a global excise tax of up to 70 percent on cigarettes at an upcoming November conference, raising concerns among free market tax policy analysts about fiscal sovereignty and bureaucratic mission creep. In draft guidelines published this September, the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control indicated it may put a cigarette tax on the table at its November conference in Seoul, Korea. “First we had doctors without borders,” said David Williams, president of the Taxpayer Protection Alliance. “Now you could have taxes without borders. … This is a new frontier in taxes.

It all began, strangely enough, with a press release from an obscure foreign trade association. The National Pig Association of the United Kingdom, you see, wants British customers to feel OK about the idea of paying a higher retail price for pork products. They’d particularly like it if British customers went out of their way to buy locally produced pork. And why wouldn’t they? “Vendors want you to buy more of their product at higher prices” is more or less the ultimate dog bites man (or, as the case may be, pork chop) story. But the press release’s provocative lede—

Democrat Elizabeth Warren has framed her race in Massachusetts against Sen. Scott Brown around integrity and intellect, as if she's a cut above other pols. In fact, she's beneath even the sleaziest. On top of fraudulently claiming minority Indian status without any documented ancestry, the Harvard law professor has now been busted practicing law in Massachusetts without a state license. Worse, her client list includes the type of corporations that Ms. Populist has demonized on the campaign trail as greedy polluters and exploiters of the "little guy." Turns out working-class champion Warren in 1995 hired herself out as a legal gun
