| If the Obama administration hoped that the election results and the narrow split in Barack Obama’s favor among Catholic voters would force the US Conference of Catholic Bishops into retreat on the HHS contraception mandate, the USCCB’s unity yesterday had to be a bit disappointing. The current president of the USCCB announced that the bishops would keep fighting the mandate, and while they were open to dialogue, the only option they will refuse to consider is “capitulation”: A top American bishop said Tuesday the Roman Catholic church will not comply with the Obama administration requirement

A little late to the party!
Leading from behind. The good Bishops have allowed their curates way too much leeway in teaching the Laws of the Church for far too long. Their acceptance of the likes of abortion loving Pelosi, Biden, Kerry, Kennedys into their churches, to receive communion is beyond the pale, and an insult to the intelligence of obedient members.

I expect they just may realize that they need to draw a clear line in the sand. No playing around hobnobbing with Pelosi, Kennedy´s or Obama. In addition to noncompliance with HHS, do not foolishly invite a Marxist to the Alfred Smith dinner and play like he is a buddy. Yes, Cardinal Dolan. I am talking to you, with all due respect.

They did. Every week at mass, there was a pastoral letter urging that Catholics vote for the faith. trouble is most Catholics never go to church anymore and the media prevents the word from getting out to the masses. Unlike some black churches, the Catholic church does not permit politicking from the pulpit except in ambiguous language.

12 ... I didn´t see "faith" on the ballot. And I didn´t see nor hear words from Cardinal Dolan and his "Beanie Boys" to vote for anyone, but to vote "Your Catholic Concience", which led 54% of Catholics to say yes to Obama.
Black preachers told their people to vote for Obama. God bless them for their honesty. I wonder what God is going to do to Dolan and his boys for their duplicity.

As a Catholic I am horrified when I walk thru the parking lot of our Church and see oblamer bumper stickers on some of the cars. My tendency is to beat the driver about the head and shoulders but my husband usually constrains me.
How can a moral person let alone a so-called Catholic vote for the most ghoulish person ever to occupy the White House---voted 4 times to deny medical treatment for sweet babies that survived a butchering abortion. You can´t get more evil than that.
Yet 50/44 of Catholics voted for this satan.

With you there.....My husband has to break off several of my passionate conversations in our church parking lot. That the snare of the fowler captured 52 % of Catholics makes me weep. I watched some live feed from the Bishops´ conference, and all I can say is they better draw this line now. Cardinal Dolan disappointed me by giving Obama a place of legitimacy at the Al Smith dinner. This very subject should have disqualified his admittance.

Yes, I did hear some feeble mutterings before the election, but nothing strong enough to persuade anyone that we Catholics were dealing with the unholy one. This is a little late in the game and we are down by at least four touchdowns.This Administration would like nothing better than to jail and fine Catholic bishops who refuse to go along with his dictates. The only answer may be to close the Catholic hospitals and schools, which would give this the attention it deserves.

So, Catholics are burdened against their core beliefs by Obama and his healthcare take-over. Yet, muslims are exempt.
This regime doesn´t quite understand the resolve of the American people.
We lost because conservatives didn´t show at the polls. Our stupid mistake.

Fans of Glenn Beck are complaining about what I wrote yesterday about his speech at the National Rifle Association convention, where he used a giant image of Michael Bloomberg photoshopped into what appeared to be an image of Hitler with his arm raised in a Nazi salute and wearing an armband. The Beck crowd now tells me that it wasn’t Hitler’s picture into which the New York mayor was transposed but that of Communist leader Vladimir Lenin. They say that means I owe Beck an apology along with the Anti-Defamation League and others who were also outraged by it.

The Obama administration wants to consign the Benghazi terrorist attack to the history books, but this week three State Department officials will tell Congress that the Obama administration’s version of history is false — and that the falsehoods it told the American people were willful and deliberate. One of the whistleblowers, Mark Thompson, deputy coordinator for operations in the State Department’s counterterrorism bureau, was in direct, real-time communication with people on the ground during the Sept. 11, 2012, attack in Libya, before he was locked out of the room. Yet despite his firsthand knowledge of how the attack

If it wasn’t obvious beforehand, it became clear last week that Ted Cruz is likely to run for president. On Wednesday, the freshman senator’s advisors spilled the beans about his thinking on 2016 to National Review (short version: highly doable), and Friday Cruz showed up in the critical primary state of South Carolina to speak at the state GOP’s “Silver Elephant Dinner.” Which raises a question conspiratorial liberals have been waiting to ask of a Republican since at least 2008: Is Ted Cruz, who was born in Canada to an American mother and a Cuban father,

We have seen in the Boston bombings case how terrorists depend on a network of sympathizers. But the Russian connection remains a mystery. The press should follow up on the Russian angle to the Islamic terrorist bombers story before President Obama gets carried away with cooperating with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The assumption by the media that the former KGB officer is genuinely interested in helping the U.S. solve its Islamic terrorism problem should be subjected to scrutiny. After all, al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri has been identified by KGB defectors as a Russian agent.

Any black person who says something that is not the prescribed things that they expect from a black person will be picked apart. Pick anyone who’s decided not to go along with it—there’s a price to pay. So I always assumed it would be somebody that the media had to agree with.” — Justice Clarence Thomas on the election of Barack Obama as the first black president. Is Barack Obama a slave?

South Carolina’s suspense-filled special election between Republican Mark Sanford and Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch comes to a close Tuesday — and it’s anyone’s guess how it will end. Will enough Republicans hold their noses and vote for Sanford, despite their misgivings about his personal conduct, to put him over the top? Or are there enough energized Democrats in the heavily GOP district to carry the day for Colbert Busch? Colbert Busch seemed to be in the driver’s seat a week ago, but the late momentum has been with Sanford. The race is now so close — a weekend survey

President Obama has single-handedly kept thousands of American workers in their jobs by spawning dozens of best-selling books about how awful he is. He can ignore almost all of them, and so can you, if your goal is to learn something new about the Obama presidency. But every once in a while, a book comes along that it would be foolish for Obama, or anyone else, to disregard. Vali Nasr´s The Dispensable Nation: American Foreign Policy In Retreat, is the most trenchant criticism of the Obama administration I´ve yet read. Nasr was an adviser to diplomat Richard Holbooke

Jim Edwards of The Business Insider has a long, fascinating piece on eBay’s top two affiliates — one earned $28 million in commissions for sending customers to the auction site, the other $7 million — and how eBay eventually concluded that they were defrauding the company: Affiliate marketers place ads or links for eBay on their own networks, or on other people’s sites, and they collect a cut of any sale the online auction company generates from them. eBay has about 26,000 of them, or more, at any one time, feeding traffic to its auctions.

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

The White House on Wednesday stood by its story that the Obama administration remained unsure exactly who was responsible for the attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi nearly five days after it occurred even though new revelations show Ansar al-Sharia’s direct involvement. Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Libya and a self-described whistleblower, testified before a Congressional committee Wednesday that the body of Ambassador J. Christpher Stevens was missing for hours during the attack after being dragged out of the diplomatic post in Benghazi.

Former Gov. Mark Sanford completed the trail to political redemption Tuesday with a win over Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch to reclaim his old seat in Congress. Sanford defeated Colbert Busch 54 percent to 45 percent, according to full unofficial results. Turnout was heavier than expected, with about 32 percent of the district’s 455,702 registered voters casting ballots. Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001. It’s a remarkable comeback for a man many pundits had written off after his highly publicized affair with an Argentine

There was tragic incompetence, plainly, in the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attacks, and even possibly some political calculation. It is a record that may well come to haunt Hillary Clinton, the first Secretary of State to lose an ambassador in the field in more than three decades, if she runs for president in 2016. But the obvious Republican effort to turn this inquiry into the Democratic (Obama) version of the Iraq intelligence scandal that has tarred the GOP since the George W.

Northwestern University continued to stumble over diversity issues this week as Mexican students voiced disagreement with a campuswide letter that advised students not to celebrate Cinco de Mayo by engaging in racially-offensive activities, such as eating tacos and drinking tequila. The letter was sent to students via e-mail, and published in The Daily Northwestern last week. Leaders of Alianza, a Latino student group, and the Associated Student Government called on students to remember that Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico’s victory over France in the Battle of Puebla. It is not a day to throw a sombrero-themed party, they said.

The University of Cambridge released a statement Wednesday indicating that Hawking had told the Israelis last week that he would not be attending "based on advice from Palestinian academics that he should respect the boycott." University officials said they had "previously understood" that Hawking´s decision was based solely on health concerns — he is 71 and has severe disabilities — but had now been told otherwise by Hawking´s office.
