There is a second collection this Sunday or next for the annual Campaign for Human Development. Before you even think about dropping a single coin into this collection basket, check out the link from RealCatholicTV.com: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8n_YseZ7Cog
In addition to using our Catholic money for ACORN, in past years, the money we put into the collection has also been used for Pro-Abortion, Pro-Homosexual, Pro-Contraception, and Pro-Prostitution groups. Our Catholic money is being funneled to liberal, left wing agendas that go against our Catholic teaching. Money has also been used to promote Democratic concerns which go against our beliefs and morals.
One suggestion has been to drop a 'No, Thank You!' note into the collection basket for this collection. Perhaps an outpouring of objection will enlightened our priests and bishops to take a second look.

The first quote is certainly our government right now . . .!
"The government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."
-- Ronald Reagan
"Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily this is not difficult."
-- Charlotte Whitton
"I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me."
-- Noel Coward
"An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field."

Who's sorry now . . .?
On more than one occasion, our current president has apologized for the United States. I don't know if he thinks this will make friends and influence enemies but he certainly doesn't do it in a humble way. It now looks like he should be doing the apologizing.
He made a much-heralded trip overseas to demean himself by asking for and expecting the next Olympics to be bestowed on the United States because HE wanted it that way. I think the powers that be enjoyed calling out in the FIRST round that Chicago was in no way going to get the Olympics. There were more pressing events going on at the time yet the president made this special trip over specifically for receiving this expected 'gift'.
The anniversary of the end of the Berlin Wall was today. Although my mother wasn't in Berlin, at the time, she was visiting in German when this happened twenty years ago. She wept because many relatives she hadn't seen since the Wall went up, were now free to go about their lives as they chose to do so. My grandmother died in East Germany. I have many cousins I never got to meet because they lived behind the Wall. It certainly meant something to my family when this event played out so dramatically. Definitely one for the history books!
Our president turned down an invitation to be there for the occasion! Travel for an olympic beg-fest, yes. Travel to honor the fall of communism, no. And, what good is a vice president who doesn't take up the reins when the president is too busy?
This president owes the German people an apology. He owes all the people who lived without family during the time of the Wall, an apology. He owes the United States an apology for embarassing us in front of the world.

Mixing ideas with your own . . . quotes!
I especially liked the last one as you meet so many people who are just passing through this life without any ambition, original thoughts, and real hopes for the future. They seem to live for the moment without any quality. Kind of makes death a highlight of their life when God provided us with so much to enjoy and be thankful for in this world. It isn't always easy and you can make it worthwhile! : - )
"I like an escalator because an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. There would never be an escalator temporarily out of order sign, only an escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience."
-- Mitch Hedberg
"Elections are won by men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody rather than for somebody."
-- Franklin P. Adams
"Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius."
-- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
"Is there life before death?"
-- Graffito

Seems to apply . . .
This quote kind of reminded me of the recent health care legislation:
"All human situations have their inconveniences. We feel those of the present but neither see nor feel those of the future; and hence we often make troublesome changes without amendment, and frequently for the worse."
-- Benjamin Franklin

What happened to Democracy or is it Demo-crazy?
What a greeting to a beautiful Sunday morning . . . Headlines blaring that the House has passed the first step in health care reform by a margin of five votes! I read an article on-line by the Wall Street Journal and they were running a poll. The vote was 69% AGAINST this type of health care reform! Most of the polls over the last few weeks have run in the same direction. What is wrong with our government representatives who have decided to use the votes that got them into office to propose their own, personal agenda? And, once again, the feminazi, Pelosi lied as I don't recall we had 72 hours since yesterday to read the proposed Bill. They are in the middle of putting a huge burden on the future salaries of our next generation yet show little remorse or forethought as all these people voting this into law will not have to be under the proposed plan.
I hope everyone takes note and lets their representative and senators know that the vote they are casting now will effect the vote we cast come their reelection years.
You have to wonder what is wrong with Pelosi and any other woman in office who agrees to a bill that could include abortion paid by everyone's taxes and rationed treatment for the elderly. Don't they have any womanly feelings for preborn children? They all have children yet they advocate the outright killing of them?
We have to be vigilant in this because IF this totally passes into law, the full effect won't be felt until AFTER obama's hoped-for reelection and then POW! They plan on this lull to see that he IS reelected. To me, this seems unconstitutional to MAKE everyone have the SAME insurance.
We do have prayer on our side because I get the feeling (trying not to judge here!) that many of those who voted last night don't deal in the Godly spiritual. Prayer is still a fight we can engage in and they can't outlaw that . . . although they may try!
