Interesting history since 2008 . . .

Back in the stone age days of my school years, we were taught that everyone in the United States was protected under our Democratic government. We were unified in our Constitution but we had the right to worship as we saw fit as long as everyone was respected. The respect since the 2008 election seems a little one-sided to me. I wonder how the Catholic voters that brought Christians to this point in our country feel about that crucial vote now? After talking to a liberal in-law recently, sad to say, she was still intellectually blind to the situation and said her vote in 2012 will remain the same as her vote in 2008. A sign of the lowering of standards when politics come before matters of Faith. Even sadder are the people who don't research their vote before casting that ballot.

January 2011 – After a federal law was passed to transfer a WWI
Memorial in the Mojave Desert to private ownership, the U. S. Supreme

required by law, and refused to allow the cross to be re-erected as
ordered by the Court.

February 2011 – Although he filled posts in the State Department, for

the world; he filled it only after heavy pressure from the public and
from Congress.
April 2011 – For the first time in American history, Obama urges
passage of a non-discrimination law that does not contain hiring
