Just how is it moral to spend your country into oblivion. How is it moral to fund women who have 5 kids by 5 different men? And just where are those men and why aren't THEY supporting those kids? Its a racket and we're tired of supporting the shiftless, the grifters, and the immoral.

Before the Catholic Church starts judging Paul Ryan and his budget, maybe instead they should judge themselves. Much broader than a question as to whether his budget comforms to the Natural Law is more importantly whether their policies/practices regarding wayward-pedifile priests does so. To avoid hypocracy, the Church needs to initially look in their mirror perhaps. It's the old story of .......PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULD NOT THROW STONES, or maybe more appropriately, LET HE WHO HAS NOT SINNED CAST THE FIRST STONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

" The Associated Press reported recently that three insurance companies receive upward of 260 reports each year of young people under 18 being sexually abused by Protestant clergy, challenging the assumption that clergy sexual abuse is an exclusively Catholic problem that does not take place in other churches.
That is a higher number than the annual average of 228 “credible accusations” brought against Catholic clerics in records reported by the Catholic Church in response to media scrutiny, a priest observed in a Fox News commentary questioning why the story isn’t garnering more attention. "

GTH you hyoocritical white-robed BIGOT! The Catholic Church does not want nor need anti-Semetics like you. You and yours are an embarrassment to the the Church and will burn in Hades for your sins. Take your RINO-CINO crapola and STICK IT UP YOUR PEDIFILE PRIESTS' YOUKNOWHAT, okay? You're such a DA that you tell Obamaistic lies and think that the world is stupid enough to believe same. In no way, shape or form is Prostestant pedifilia as large/great as that with the Church. You know why, moron? Simple, because the pedifilic priests are HOMOSEXUAL QUEERS posing as representatives of JC, DA. Protestant ministers are all whats known as MARRIED, and therefore the odds/probability are that same are also HETERSEXUAL, not HOMOSEXUAL [as in the NON-MARRIED PRIESTS]. The Catholic church was invaded by these homosexuals due to the Church's required VOW OF CHASTITY [ie their priests cannot MARRY WOMEN due to it being forbidden by the Church, and therefore are inclined to seek sexual gratification through homosexuality]. Just as homosexuals infiltrate atmospheres containing vernerable children [schools, athletics etc], so too they invaded the Church due to their atmosphere of single, unattached males and also their availablity of access to children. Damn, you're the most STUPID individual that possibly ever walked the face of this earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS: ALSO YOU ARE [IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE] ......UNCHRISTIAN:
'......Newsmax Christians Must Vote for Mitt Romney Friday, May 11, 2012 09:27 AMBy: Cynthia Dunbar Newt Gingrich’s exit from the Republican presidential primary last Wednesday left voters with clear battle lines. Americans are confronted with the choice between President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
With that in mind, I find it inconceivable that any evangelical could still act as though there is any choice left about which candidate to support.
As a seasoned political activist who has fought in the trenches against impossible odds for righteous public policy, I am saddened by the division within our alleged “Christian” ranks.
Jesus taught that a house divided cannot stand (Mark 3:25). If we, as the corporate body of Christ, are going to be effective in the culture war in which we find ourselves, we must be shrewd as serpents (Matthew 10:16).In this election year, we find ourselves with only three realistic courses of action:Don’t vote; Vote for Obama; or Vote for Romney. However, as Christians, we cannot with good conscience abstain from voting. After all, Christ has called us to take the gospel as a testimony to the nations (Matthew 24:14). It is critical to note that he specifically said it is to be a testimony to “nations” and not merely “people.” This means we are mandated to not only evangelize the individual people, but also to apply the gospel to every aspect of our nation, including its government. Additionally, Christ called us to be salt and light to a lost and dying world (Matthew 5:13-16). Consequently, these admonitions don’t afford us the luxury of simply “sitting this one out.”
I have heard it characterized by some as though the American people are once again faced with a choice between the lesser of two evils. However, I do not find this to be an accurate assessment.
I would like to suggest that evil is not an entity; it is an absence. As cold can only be defined as the absence of heat, and darkness the absence of light, then, likewise, evil is the absence of Christ.
Consequently, our political choice is not between two evils; rather it is between which man’s policies align more closely with the teachings of Christ than the other man’s. When you judge the fruit of each candidate’s policies according to their political adherence to the word of God, which we know to be Christ himself (John 1:1), then our course of action becomes imminently clear.It is crucial that we, as the corporate body of Christ, act cohesively in supporting the clear tenets of scripture in order that we may sway the course of our nation into its calling as a city set on a hill, a beacon of hope to the nations.
This was the understanding, vision, and effectiveness behind the Founding Fathers of our nation. For evangelicals, this election, like every election, is so much more than mere partisan politics. It is about choosing the candidate who most closely aligns his policies with what Benjamin Franklin referred to as the “primitive principles of Christianity” or what C.S. Lewis spoke of as “mere Christianity.” Only when nations align with the most basic teachings of the Bible concerning the appropriate authority, function, and policy of civil government can righteousness be established. After all, we know that righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to all people (Proverbs 14:34). Sin, promulgated through governmental public policy, is allowed to exist only when God’s people are either ignorant of the standards for civil government established in God’s word or refuse to speak up and hold our governing authorities accountable to those standards.
Cynthia Dunbar I fear Christians today may be guilty of both. Unfortunately, to make either mistake is a sin and causes a blight upon our land. The righteous and biblical principles of the sanctity of life, the sanctity of family and marriage, and the uncompromising support for the nation of Israel unquestionably must be upheld! In every election, the person who most closely aligns with these positions is the person who must receive the unanimous support of devout, Bible-believing Christians. Admittedly, while neither candidate perfectly aligns with these positions, as no candidate ever does, there is still an obvious demarcation. This demarcation is so obvious that I shouldn’t even need to say which candidate Bible-believing Christians must support. However, just to make sure there is absolutely no confusion, there remains only one option if Christians are going to vote according to scripture and not politics, and that option is Mitt Romney.........'

The Lapsed Catholic,Turned Ax Grindin' Anti-Catholic, Fart Face Attempts To Play His Dog Eared Anti-Semite Card On Tea Party Clint.
I'll Tell My Buddies Steve, Ron, Big Steve And Enosh. They'll Laugh Like hell.
"Despite headlines focusing on the priest pedophile problem in the Roman Catholic Church, most American churches being hit with child sexual-abuse allegations are Protestant, and most of the alleged abusers are not clergy or staff, but church volunteers.
These are findings from national surveys by Christian Ministry Resources (CMR), a tax and legal-advice publisher serving more than 75,000 congregations and 1,000 denominational agencies nationwide.
CMR's annual surveys of about 1,000 churches nationwide have asked about sexual abuse since 1993. They're a remarkable window on a problem that lurked largely in the shadows of public awareness until the Catholic scandals arose.
The surveys suggest that over the past decade, the pace of child-abuse allegations against American churches has averaged 70 a week.
Dr. Shupe suggests the 70 allegations-per-week figure actually could be higher, because underreporting is common. He discovered this in 1998 while going door to door in Dallas-Ft. Worth communities where he asked 1,607 families if they'd experienced abuse from those within their church. Nearly 4 percent said they had been victims of sexual abuse by clergy. Child sexual abuse was part of that, but not broken out, he says.
James Cobble, executive director of CMR, who oversees the survey, says the data show that child sex-abuse happens broadly across all denomination and that clergy aren't the major offenders.
"The Catholics have gotten all the attention from the media, but this problem is even greater with the Protestant churches simply because of their far larger numbers," he says."
The Ongoing Lack of Coverage & Outrage By The Mainstream Media Agendists & Their Anti-Catholic Buddies Speaks Volumes Of Their Hypocrite Agenda.

That is a fabricated lie, just like all of the other crapola you falsely post here, and everyone with half a brain knows it. The degradation suffered by the pedifilic priests and the $billion of Church property sold to pay for the legal settlements is well documented. Don't continue to tell your infamous lies and BS by extension of truth avoidance regarding this issue, as it only results in defining your STUPIDITY even further. You're a fraud, and probably not even a Catholic [as your demonstrated knowledge of Catholic practices and ceremony is null and void]. Answer this Latin Mass wording: DOMINOUS VOBISCUM.....?????? The Church does not allow race-baiting anti-Semites inside its churches, and for anyone to be arrogant enough to take Communion given such disguised immorality of hatred, the Eucharist would burn up in the providing priest's hands. Go crawl back under the rock from which you came!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tell It To The Christian Ministries Resources And The Christian Science Monitor Lapsed Catholic,Turned Ax Grindin' Anti-Catholic Bigot,Fart Pampers.
"According to a draft report commissioned by the U.S. Department of Education, in compliance with the 2002 "No Child Left Behind" act signed into law by President Bush, between 6 percent and 10 percent of public school children across the country have been sexually abused or harassed by public school employees and teachers.
Charol Shakeshaft, the Hofstra University scholar who prepared the report, said the number of abuse cases—which range from unwanted sexual comments to rape—could be much higher.
To support her contention, Shakeshaft compared the priest abuse data with data collected in a national survey for the American Association of University Women Educational Foundation in 2000. Extrapolating data from the latter, she estimated roughly 290,000 students experienced some sort of physical sexual abuse by a school employee from a single decade—1991-2000.That compares with about five decades of cases of abusive priests.
Such figures led her to contend "the physical sexual abuse of students in schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by priests."

" Gingrich: Conservatives Won't Let Wall St. And Romney "Buy Election"
"Look, the conservative movement is not going to sit by and let a Massachusetts liberal, who's pro-abortion, pro-gun control, pro-tax increase, pro-gay rights, whose Romneycare in two articles in the last 24 hours were described as the equivalent of Obamacare and who George Soros says is just fine. He'd be happy with either Obama or Romney [be]cause they are both the establishment -- that's just George Soros," Newt Gingrich told FOX News' Bret Baier on the campaign trail in Tampa, Florida.
"Now, the conservative movement isn't going to sit back and say 'Oh yes, let's let Wall Street, and Goldman Sachs and Mitt Romney buy the election. So you're going to see a real grass roots fight. It will be people power vs. Goldman Sachs and Mitt Romney," he added."

Biblios| 5.13.12 @ 10:08AM
"What good to Me are your many sacrifices,
says the Lord? I am sated with burnt
offerings of rams, and the fat of fattened
cattle, and the blood of bulls; nor do I delight
in the blood of lambs and he goats.
When you come to see My face, who
has required this at your hand, to trample
My courts?
Do not add to bringing vain sacrifice;
its incense is a disgusting thing to Me. I
cannot endure the new moon and sabbath,
the going to meeting; I cannot endure the
evil assembly.
My soul hates your new moons and
your set feasts. They are a burden on Me. I
am weary of bearing them.
And when you spread out your palms,
I will hide My eyes from you; also, when
you multiply prayer, I will not hear. Your
palms are full of bloods.
Wash yourselves, purify yourselves.
Remove the evil of your doings from before
My eyes; cease doing evil.
Learn to do good, seek justice,
straighten the oppressor, judge the orphan,
strive for the widow.
Come now and let us reason together,
says the Lord: Though your sins are as scarlet,
they shall be white as snow; though
they are red as the crimson, they shall be
like wool.
If you are willing and hear, you shall
eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken." Is. 1:11-20.
