In the name of “choice”, we have murdered 50 million unborn children – and now with the prospect of Obama becoming President and signing the misbegotten “Freedom of Choice Act”, we are on the path to another 50 million murders, unless we take this issue as seriously as we should:

The Church militant’s purpose, the bishop explained, is to “‘fight’ against the enemies of Christ’s justice and truth and light and life.” This fight requires our attentions in a “peaceable but serious manner.”

Lamenting the “casual manner” of some Christians, he said St. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians reminds us that we are in a battle “not with flesh and blood, but with the principalities and powers, with the rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in heaven.”

“What is at stake in this battle is our immortal soul, our salvation,” Bishop Finn insisted. “My responsibility as bishop is with the eternal destiny of those entrusted to my care. My total energies must be directed to the well being of those who otherwise may come under the spell of a radically flawed and fundamentally distorted moral sense, at odds with what our Mother the Church teaches.”

“The direct willful destruction of human life can never be justified; it can never be supported. Do you believe this firm teaching of the Church?” he asked.

Bishop Finn noted that priests and ministers in Canada had been brought before government tribunals for preaching and teaching in support of marriage, being charged with “hate speech” against homosexuality.

“In light of the tyranny of choice growing each day in our own beloved country, we ought to be ready for similar attacks on religious freedom,” he warned.

“We must not fail to preach the Gospel. We can not withhold the truth of our faith. That is why I will never be silent about human life,” Bishop Finn insisted.

“What about you?” he asked.

Noting that Christ told the apostles they would be hated by the world, just as He was, the bishop said Christians must never resort to violence but “we must stand up fearlessly against the agents of death, the enemies of human life.”

And we are, indeed, hated – the so-called “pro-choice” people are fanatic in their hatred of us. Which means that we must love them all the more, and pray for them…but we must also stand firm for life. Being kind and merciful must never become being morally flabby. Love and truth are not soft, mushy things but are, instead, the sharpest of swords and hard as diamonds.

We must take up this sword of truth and wield is tirelessly in the fight for life. No matter how hard the road, we must never give up. And right now we are come to the crossroads – on Tuesday we will either advance the Culture of Life or the culture of death. Obama is for death, McCain is for life – for people who respect life from conception until natural death, there is no other choice than Senator McCain.

…and happened to find myself in the most heavily Democratic area of the Vegas metro area and I didn’t see a single Obama sign or sticker except for one rather lonely lady trying to sell t-shirts with Obama’s picture on them…there wasn’t exactly a crush of people to buy.

A couple days from the election which will elevate The One to the White House by means of the massive enthusiasm he brings to the electorate…and for all the world to see, there might not have been an election going on at all.

Meanwhile, when the Mrs went to the GOP office to get tickets to the Monday rally for John McCain down in Henderson the place was hopping with activity and enthusiasm.

Things just might not be as they appear. The polls still say “Obama wins” – narrowly or in a landslide, but “Obama wins” is the universal of the polls. Unless, of course, the pollsters got the demographics for the electorate in 2008 wrong. If there’s not a massive upsurge in young voters and new African-American voters and if blue collar and older Democrats surge to McCain, then the events on Tuesday wiil leave the MSM and Democrats stunned.

The Washington Post headline:

Disclosure About Obama’s Aunt May Have Broken Federal Law

And disclosing Joe the Plumber’s personal information is, it would seem, nothing to worry about…

…then why is there a strong change that Massachusetts might repeal their State income tax?

For one weekend this summer, Massachusetts enjoyed a sales-tax holiday. Instead of driving across the border to sales-tax-free New Hampshire, residents could shop at home without paying sales tax, if only temporarily. But the sales-tax holiday was just a precursor to what could be a much more hopeful development: the potential repeal of the state’s income tax this November.

Thanks to the tenacity of Carla Howell of the Committee for Small Government, voters may be able to eliminate Massachusetts’s income levy through Question 1 of a ballot referendum. In 2002, a similar ballot question asking for the repeal of the income tax earned 45 percent support. Today, with jobs and residents fleeing the economically limping Bay State, the political climate for eliminating the income tax is even more hospitable. Backers also hope that the repeal would force Massachusetts to practice tough fiscal discipline—the income tax constitutes more than 40 percent of state revenue.

If this passes it will be a signal that a conservative economic message can prevail everywhere…and thus no matter what the result on Tuesday, we conservatives are on the right path.

Geesh!

Admittedly, this may be a Jewish thing, but aren’t you frightened of people tattoo-ing numbers on your forearm to memorialize your service to “The One”?

By Mark Steyn:

…if Aunt Zeituni had settled in Wasilla — say, in lodgings across the way from Bristol Palin’s boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend’s uncle’s sled dog’s veterinarian’s ammunition dealer — the fact that she’s an “illegal immigrant” might have come out a lot sooner, even if only from the Atlantic Monthly investigative unit driving by and asking her whether Joe the Plumber had ever serviced Trig’s real mother’s double-wide.

On the other hand, what could be more American than an Undocumented First Family? If I’d known it was this easy, I’d have run myself.

I was away for much of the summer and, when I returned, the entire campaign felt like an absurd satire I wasn’t quite up to speed on. But truly, in a world in which the many illegal foreign contributions to the leading candidate’s unprecedented fundraising include his own deportation-ordered aunt, satire is dead.

And Victor Davis Hanson:

I don’t think in my lifetime I have ever witnessed quite a campaign in which the wife of the Presidential candidate has been sequestered lest she voice yet another sweeping generalization that can be rightfully interpreted as denigrating both the American system at large or the values of other Americans; or in which the Vice Presidential candidate has been sequestered from press questioning lest he once again in an interview or an impromptu says something that either is so bizarre that it makes no sense at all or serves as a good argument not to vote for his running mate; or in which the Presidential nominee himself knows that if he stays on the teleprompter he has a good chance of winning, but if he wades in to banter wtih the crowd there is equally a good chance that he may say something so disturbing that the entire facade that he has so carefully constructed simply collapses.

In sum, the voters suspect that there is something wrong with these faux-wizardly images on the campaign stump, but on the rare occasions they hear or see a gimpse of something real behind them that understandably makes them uneasy, they are sort of given the message “Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.”

Personally, I think the mask is off and right now we’re in a race between the Truth and Obama; and if by November 4th Truth is ahead, then Obama loses.

As usual, its not the crime but the cover up – and now we’ll want to know what Obama knew and when he knew it:

Vanessa Niekamp said that when she was asked to run a child-support check on Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher on Oct. 16, she thought it routine. A supervisor told her the man had contacted the state agency about his case.

Niekamp didn’t know she just had checked on “Joe the Plumber,” who was elevated the night before to presidential politics prominence as Republican John McCain’s example in a debate of an average American.

The senior manager would not learn about “Joe” for another week, when she said her boss informed her and directed her to write an e-mail stating her computer check was a legitimate inquiry.

The reason Niekamp said she was given for checking if there was a child-support case on Wurzelbacher does not match the reason given by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.

Director Helen Jones-Kelley said her agency checks people who are “thrust into the public spotlight,” amid suggestions they may have come into money, to see if they owe support or are receiving undeserved public assistance.

Niekamp told The Dispatch she is unfamiliar with the practice of checking on the newly famous. “I’ve never done that before, I don’t know of anybody in my office who does that and I don’t remember anyone ever doing that,” she said today.

Democrat Gov. Ted Strickland and Jones-Kelley, both supporters of Democrat Barack Obama, have denied political motives in checking on Wurzelbacher.

Which is, of course, a monumentally stupid lie – the cat is out of the bag, Strickland, and you’d better fess up, ’cause Obama might not be in a position to help you come January, and you don’t want to be left holding the bag in a federal case.

As a preview of Obama’s practices should he win on Tuesday, this is invaluable – but as an event, in and of itself, this is a crime for which everyone involved should spend a considerable amount of time in jail over. This is the worst sort of corruption – the use of government authority to slander a private citizen. Keep in mind that all Joe did was ask Obama a question – and in return for this, he’s being raked over the coals and having his personal life poked in to by Democratic party hacks.

Its really important – from NRO’s The Corner:

My son started boot camp for the USMC two weeks ago. He is putting is butt on the line for you and defend the Constitution of the US and defend it from all enemies. He is not asking for your support. He is going into special operations and is willing to die to protect you. A completely incompetent Commander in Chief could put my son in serious jeopardy. American might be resilient, but my son would be put at risk.

As long as you feel absolutely confident that the man you’re voting for is the best person to command the men and women of our armed forces, then you’re doing your duty as a citizen.

Obama is out there trying to buy the election – and not with the small donations of average Americans, but with the criminal donations from who knows where:

Barack Obama refuses to release the names of the 2 million-plus people who have given his campaign less than $200. According to campaign officials, it would be too difficult and time-consuming to extract this information from its database.

So how come we were able to do it in a couple hours? Not literally—we don’t have access to the campaign’s list of donors—but we created a database of similar size and format in a Web-ready file and posted it online. (You can view a sample text version of it here. The full version is 824 MB.)

But before we get into the technical details (though, if you’re with the Obama campaign and want to skip ahead, please do), it’s worth dwelling on the reasons for the Obama campaign’s reluctance to disclose this information. It can’t be legal: No law prevents Obama from releasing these names.

Politically, there would be several advantages in releasing the names. Obama has campaigned (effectively) on a platform of making government more transparent, citing his efforts to do so in Chicago and Washington as signature achievements. He has also disclosed the bundlers who raise large amounts of money for his campaign. Finally, making the list public would rebut McCain’s broad and unsubstantiated claims that the list (and the huge sums of money it represents) is shot through with fraud.

Which is why, of course, Obama won’t do it – his fundraising is shot through with fraud. So much so that in my opinion the Justice Department should initiate a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization investigation into the Obama campaign. Certainly if Obama wins next week, we have to know how many criminal donations there have been and what role Obama played in setting up and maintaining this criminal conspiracy against the American electorate – because after Obama gets in, such investigations not only won’t happen, but anyone who brings such things up will be punished by Obama and his minions for daring to question The One.

Our liberal friends have been screaming for 8 years about imaginary threats to their freedom – but if Obama does manage to corruptly obtain the White House and remains un-challenged on it, then there will be no reason for him not to use the same tactics once in office…including the intimidation of media we’ve already seen in this campaign.

Geesh:

EL PASO — A man who jumped 60 feet to his death from the Spaghetti Bowl on Thursday left a note with a message for Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama.

A note to “Obama” was found in the man’s car, which was parked on the top ramp of the Spaghetti Bowl.

Officials offered no further explanation nor interpreted the note’s meaning…

…Police confirmed that the man left behind a note that read, “Obama take care of my family.”

Just want to confirm something – you lefties out there, you do realize that Obama is just a man, right? I mean, even if he’s fabulously better than McCain, he’s just a man and prey to all of man’s weaknesses – you do realize that, don’t you?

Just want to be sure about this sort of thing…
