This is for all the useful idiots in America and the world, the ones that wear the Mao tee shirts and extol the virtues of government run health care and socialism in general.
Is this what you want? Because if so I need to rethink my opinion of you. I always thought that you were just misguided, ignorant of history and blinded by youthful idealism. However, if you truly understand the system you are supporting, if you believe that the ends justify the means, if you think that the individual should sacrifice all for the collective, then YOU ARE EVIL!
There are those in our government that support this abusive, evil system, those like Anita Dunn, who said:
"The third lesson and tip actually comes from two of my favorite political philosophers: Mao Tse-tung and Mother Theresa -- not often coupled with each other, but the two people I turn to most to basically deliver a simple point which is 'you're going to make choices; you're going to challenge; you're going to say why not; you're going to figure out how to do things that have never been done before."
It looks as though her friends in the Communist Chinese government are willing to try many new and wonderful things. How long will it be before those in our government, the ones that lionize evil, decide that the heath bill or some other new law, or more importantly, some new regulation enacted by a faceless bureaucrat, gives them the authority to act as their mentors in China have?
"...Chinese family planning authorities ordered the detentions as part of a campaign to sterilize 10,000 men and women suspected of attempting to violate the country's strict limits on the size of families, The Times of London reported.
Puning said it launched the 20-day campaign April 7 after many couples left their homes for factory jobs and exceeded the limits on family size, the Nanfang newspaper said.
As part of the campaign, parents of those who refuse voluntary sterilization or try to elude authorities have been detained, the newspaper said.
Those being held included the 64-year-old father of Huang Ruifeng, who has three daughters. "Several days ago, a village official called me and asked me or my wife to return for the surgery. Otherwise, they would take away my father," Huang told the Chinese daily."

"HUNDREDS of people in a southern China city, mostly senior citizens, have been confined in dozens of government-owned offices and kept from leaving until their sons or daughters who have violated the nation's family planning policy agreed to accept sterilization.
Those elderly people were taken from home by family planning staff in Puning City of Guangdong Province to be "concentrated for class," a local newspaper quoted a Puning family planning official as saying.
By Sunday, 1,377 people in Puning had been taken to the offices, the Nanfang Rural News reported yesterday.
At one of Puning's townships, nearly 100 people, including babies, were forced to crowd into a 200-square-meter room watched by three unidentified men, the newspaper said.
Without space to lie down, some had to stand or squat. They breathed filthy air in the damp room and had to huddle in the cold because of a shortage of quilts, said the newspaper.
They were taken to the room because their sons or daughters, working out of town, bore too many children."
Shanghai Daily
"The twenty-day campaign, launched April 7, is well along in achieving its goal of 9,559 sterilizations. “A doctor in Daba village said that his team was working flat out, beginning sterilizations every day at 8 am and working straight through until 4 am the following day.” What’s the hurry? Officials in Puning may fail in their bid for promotion to a second tier county “if they cannot meet all quotas,” according to The London Times.
Sterilization quotas? Perhaps this is the reason that Puning Authorities are sterilizing people like 64-year-old Huang Ruifeng, as reported by The Telegraph.
Unfortunately, the Puning sterilization campaign is not an isolated incident. According to the 2009 Report of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China, “Violators of the [one child] policy are routinely punished with fines, and in some cases, subjected to forced sterilization, forced abortion, arbitrary detention, and torture.” The State Department 2009 Country Report on China states, “In the case of families that already had two children, one parent was often pressured to undergo sterilization.”
Not only does the Chinese Communist Party forcibly sterilize women. It also forcibly aborts women who get pregnant without a government-issued “birth permit.” These abortions can occur up to the ninth month of pregnancy, and can be so violent that they sometimes result in the death of the women."

Despite our vast theological differences it's time for all people of faith in the God of Abraham, Moses, the prophets and the Church to draw together in common defense. Our differences are substantial and important; they need to be discussed in the light of truth. Later.
Right now Christianity is under attack unlike anytime in its modern history. Any Christian that is honest with himself must recognize the importance of the Catholic Church. She is the Mother Church to all the different forms of Christianity that have come after Her. If the forces of evil manage to destroy, or at least significantly weaken Her, the other branches of Christianity will be next. And in all honesty, if evil can take the Catholic Church off the stage of history, what chance do the Baptists, Methodist or Lutherans, much less a tiny storefront Pentecostal church have?
So circle the wagons, boys. We'll drink a beer and argue the finer points of theology later. Right now we have a common enemy that we must defeat if we intend to survive. We have to put aside our differences and stand shoulder to shoulder in our common belief in the power of Jesus Christ and defeat the forces of evil.
Or we will be destroyed; all of us together.
"The misdeeds of a few priests who have committed “atrocities” should not overshadow the “great deeds” done by priests and religious of the Catholic Church, two leading African American ministers from St. Louis have said.
Writing in the St. Louis American were Pentecostal Bishop Alphonso Scott of the Lively Stone Church of God and Bishop Jesse Battle of the House of Deliverance Church. They are respectively president and vice-president of the Ecumenical Leadership Council, which represents hundreds of predominantly African American churches in Missouri.
Noting the headlines about sexual misconduct and abuse by Catholic priests, they said those truly convicted of “such atrocities” should at minimum no longer serve in any clerical capacity.
“However, while emotions are rightfully vested in anger, the membership of the Ecumenical Leadership Council would ask the public to remember that the Catholic Church has been a leader in relieving pain and suffering in the world, and in St. Louis,” they continued.
“Their worldwide generosity has all too frequently been the difference between a significant number of the world’s poor going hungry and homeless, and having a warm meal and secure shelter.
“We believe that the misdeeds of a few should not be allowed to cast a shadow on the great deeds done daily by the priests and nuns of the Catholic Church.”
The two Protestant bishops noted that Catholic Charities had raised $82 million last year to help the less fortunate in St. Louis. They reported that the Catholic Archbishop of St. Louis Robert J. Carlson has reached out to bridge racial divides through dialogue with organizations like the Ecumenical Leadership Council.
“We strongly support the healing that obviously must occur in the Catholic Church. We acknowledge the alleged abuses of imperfect priests; however, we also know that imperfection is a human condition to which all humans are susceptible.”
The two clergymen said they look forward to working with Archbishop Carlson and the Catholic clergy of St. Louis to continue their missions of spiritual guidance and leadership for worshipers of their respective faiths."

I don't know what to say anymore.
"SEATTLE -- The mother of a Ballard High School student is fuming after the health center on campus helped facilitate her daughter's abortion during school hours.
The mother, whom KOMO News has chosen to identify only as "Jill," says the clinic kept the information "confidential."
When she signed a consent form, Jill figured it meant her 15 year old could go to the Ballard Teen Health Center located inside the high school for an earache, a sports physical, even birth control, but not for help terminating a pregnancy.
"She took a pregnancy test at school at the teen health center," she said. "Nowhere in this paperwork does it mention abortion or facilitating abortion."
Jill says her daughter, a pro-life advocate, was given a pass, put in a taxi and sent off to have an abortion during school hours all without her family knowing.
"We had no idea this was being facilitated on campus," said Jill. "They just told her that if she concealed it from her family, that it would be free of charge and no financial responsibility."
The Seattle School District says it doesn't run the health clinics at high schools. Swedish Medical Center runs the clinic at Ballard High and protects the students' privacy.
T.J. Cosgrove of the King County Health Department, which administers the school-based programs for the health department, says it's always best if parents are involved in their children's health care, but don't always have a say.
"At any age in the state of Washington, an individual can consent to a termination of pregnancy," he said.
But Jill says she not only didn't have a say in her daughter's abortion, but also didn't know about it.
"Makes me feel like my rights were completely stripped away."

More love and understanding from the party of tolerance.
The telephone lines in his Washington and district offices have been “jammed” and he’s gotten more than 1,500 faxes and countless e-mails — most of which he says don’t come from his constituents.
The fight has taken a toll on his wife, who has disconnected the phone in their home to avoid harassment.
“All the phones are unplugged at our house — tired of the obscene calls and threats. She won’t watch TV,” Stupak said during an hourlong interview with The Hill in his Rayburn office. “People saying they’re going to spit on you and all this. That’s just not fun.”
Stupak has become a nationally known figure because of his demands for tough language in healthcare legislation to prevent any federal subsidies from being used for abortion services.

"A renowned exorcist in Rome recently released a book of memoirs in which he declares to know of the existence of Satanic sects in the Vatican where participation reaches all the way to the College of Cardinals. A second demonologist, also residing in Rome, entered the debate this week, clarifying the origins of the information and defending the Vatican's clergy as an "edifying and virtuous" collection of prelates.
In a book of memoirs released in February, the noted Italian exorcist Fr. Gabriele Amorth affirmed that "Yes, also in the Vatican there are members of Satanic sects." When asked if members of the clergy are involved or if this is within the lay community, he responded, "There are priests, monsignors and also cardinals!"
The book, "Father Amorth. Memoirs of an Exorcist. My life fighting against Satan." was written by Marco Tosatti, who compiled it from interviews with the priest.
Fr. Amorth was asked by Tosatti how he knows Vatican clergy are involved. He answered, "I know from those who have been able to relate it to me because they had a way of knowing directly. And it's something 'confessed' most times by the very demon under obedience during the exorcisms."
The famous Italian exorcist was also asked if the Pope was aware of Satanic sects in the Vatican, to which Fr. Amorth replied, "Of course, he was informed. But he does what he can. It's a horrifying thing."...
..."After reading reports of Fr. Amorth's accusations pointing a finger at members of the clergy, including cardinals, Fr. Fortea declared that it is a "duty of justice" to speak out in their defense...
...In addition to the people that seek help for demonic possession, said Fr. Fortea, "innumerable persons come to us who claim to have visions, revelations and messages from Our Lord." Among these, "a certain number offer apocalyptic messages and revelations about the infiltration of Satanism and the Masons within the dome of the Church."
Fr. Fortea added that the only acceptable stance is to suspend judgment of the messages while they are subjected to time-intensive discernment, "sometimes months for each one of the cases."
The other source Fr. Amorth refers to, according to Fr. Fortea, is the demons who are being exorcised. Of this, the Spanish priest wrote that knowing whether or not the demon is telling the truth "is in many cases impossible."
"We can know with great confidence when a demon tells the truth in the subject directly related with the exorcism. That is, the number of demons, their name and similar things. But we cannot be confident in what regards concrete news relating to people."...
...He (Fortea) concluded by emphasizing, "Statements must be proven, especially when they are about such grave accusations that affect the honorability of those who form part of the Head of the Church as far as they help the Supreme Pastor."

Satanism and Freemasonry inside the Church. Possible? In my opinion, yes. But is it true? Based on the direction the Church leadership has been going over the last 50 years or so, and this is just my opinion, I believe it's true. There is really no other way to explain the decisions and actions of so many of the bishops and priests that have denied the existence of Satan, the reality of the Eucharist, the need for confession and the efficacy of the Mass. The Church leadership is supporting Progressive political causes that are, let's face it, Communist in origin. Liberalism (Communism) was strongly condemned by Pope Leo XIII in Libertas:
Moreover, besides this, a doctrine of such character is most hurtful both to individuals and to the State. For, once ascribe to human reason the only authority to decide what is true and what is good, and the real distinction between good and evil is destroyed; honor and dishonor differ not in their nature, but in the opinion and judgment of each one; pleasure is the measure of what is lawful; and, given a code of morality which can have little or no power to restrain or quiet the unruly propensities of man, a way is naturally opened to universal corruption. With reference also to public affairs: authority is severed from the true and natural principle whence it derives all its efficacy for the common good; and the law determining what it is right to do and avoid doing is at the mercy of a majority. Now, this is simply a road leading straight to tyranny. The empire of God over man and civil society once repudiated, it follows that religion, as a public institution, can have no claim to exist, and that everything that belongs to religion will be treated with complete indifference. Furthermore, with ambitious designs on sovereignty, tumult and sedition will be common amongst the people; and when duty and conscience cease to appeal to them, there will be nothing to hold them back but force, which of itself alone is powerless to keep their covetousness in check. Of this we have almost daily evidence in the conflict with socialists and members of other seditious societies, who labor unceasingly to bring about revolution. It is for those, then, who are capable of forming a just estimate of things to decide whether such doctrines promote that true liberty which alone is worthy of man, or rather, pervert and destroy it.
So I believe that Father Amorth is correct in his assessment of the Church leadership. I also agree with Father Fortea that the sources of information used by Father Amorth should be considered suspect until they can be confirmed. However, all this being said, in light of the problems at the USCCB, homosexual child abuse scandals and all of the other evil we see coming from the leaders of the Church it is important to remember something. These are the actions of individuals; mere mortal men. Their actions do not change the Church. Her teachings are not altered and her mission has not changed. Unfortunately, many will not be able to disassociate the actions of the religious from the institution of the Church. They will forget this simple promise from Christ Himself: "And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." (Matthew 16:18)
Hell is hammering the old girl pretty hard right now. But, who do you trust? The corrupt prelates fighting on the side of the Devil or the Son of God? I'm putting my money on the Church.
Catholics need to be aware of the battle that is raging inside our Church between the forces of good and evil. They need to be vigilant in checking statements made by Church leaders, in particular the USCCB to make sure that these statements follow authentic Church teaching. Remember, we are priests (And hast made us to our God a kingdom and priests, and we shall reign on the earth. Rev 5:10) and we have a responsibility to our Church and to our God to push back the forces of evil wherever they may be.
So put on the armor and get ready to join the battle. We are entering a time of total warfare in both the temporal and spiritual world against the forces of darkness. Nobody will get to sit this one out; we will have to choose sides. Our time of comfort and complacency has come to an end.
Pray for the people of Chile. In a country that is 70% Roman Catholic we are witnessing a complete breakdown of all barriers between good and evil. Terror on the scale of that being inflicted upon the innocent requires the participation of people that would normally be considered law abiding. Many of the good citizens have joined the bad in an orgy of theft and violence simply because they can. Many of the good have lost all concept of right and wrong, probably because they never had it, sacrificing their souls for the temporal gain.
This is what happens when a society falls apart and it doesn't take a natural disaster to cause it. Prepare yourselves, your family and your friends for what may be coming our way. The guy that sits in the pew next to you in church may try to kill you when it all comes apart for the food or fuel that you have. We are called to help each other in a time of crisis, and we should, but don't close your eyes to the evil that surrounds you. It can come over you before you are aware of it. Sometimes it can even be inside you, just waiting for the moment when you drop your guard.
We all have the capacity for evil and it will take us over if we allow it. Only through prayer and grace can we avoid the fate of so many of the "good" in Chile.

“I had to shoot people! Do you understand what that means?”
Those were the first words said by Jorge Mendoza, manager of an important company in Concepción, when he was finally able to call Buenos Aires.
“I had to shoot people, I had to shoot people” he repeated in a lethargy state.
“Its hordes killing and robbing, they don’t leave anything standing. And here I am with my wife and two kids, they are terrified. This is worse than the earthquake, we cant stand it no more, we have no power, no water, no gas, no oil, nothing. We organized with four other neighbors to defend ourselves, no one protects us and we haven’t slept in 3 days, God, someone please do something”, he said. “They are robbing people that travel alone we cant move, we’re damned to hell and no one does anything to help us”.
Felipe Sandoval, journalist, lives his own tragedy. “Mi house is still standing and my family is ok, but the situation is anarchic. I had to send my wife and 3 daughters to a friends house in a gated community to protect them, and with another 7 neighbors we are protecting what little we have left. There’s no gasoline, we move around in bikes and through populated areas alone, because if not they rob you even that”.
He goes on “Y live in a humble, working class neighborhood, hard working people, and I’m living through things I never thought I would. We are our own hell”.
He continues saying “First they looted food stores, then supermarkets looking for anything, and now they started with the houses. Today, life isn’t worth anything here. What the earthquake hasn’t destroyed, this has”."
