Vatican: Obama Agent of Death

Breaking news, dated Thursday 26 March 2009 from Straits Times: NEW YORK - ARCHBISHOP Raymond Burke, who leads the Vatican supreme court, said President Barack Obama 'could be an agent of death' if his support for abortion rights becomes a model for leaders in other countries.

Those Canadian Bastards Hate Freedom

The Canadians do not have the same free speech rights as we do south of their border. But don't worry - the Democrats in the U.S. will fix that soon enough. A priest is being investigated as a potential criminal under a federal "hate crimes" law for quoting from the Bible, and he's being targeted using a Canadian provision under which no defendant ever has been acquitted, according to a new report. "We know under the Supreme Court of Canada [and] under tribunals of this country that there are reasonable limits [to freedom of expression,]" Faisal Joseph, a lawyer for the plaintiffs in the Steyn dispute, said in a LifeSiteNew.com report.

PFLEGER: HAVE THE BALLS TO FIRE ME

Racist Chicago Catholic Priest Michael Pfleger has been daring the Nutless Wonders of Chicago's Catholic Archdiosese to fire him for years. The Nutless Wonders have been too cowardly to take up his dare. In 2002, Pfleger wrote to the Archdiosese and said he would not retire or quit. Rather, he wroter, "You are going to have to have the balls to fire me." FULL INFO HERE... No public response from the Nutless Wonders.

Cardinal George, Wimp

"Cardinal removes Pfleger from St. Sabina parish" is the Chicago Sun-Times online headline today. Big pfreeking deal. Cardinal George has removed racist lunatic Michael Pfleger "a couple of weeks." A couple of weeks? That's a damned vacation, not any kind of punishment. Will Pfleger be paid for his time off? Bet on it. Will Pfleger come back to eventually say or do future outrageous things? Bet on it. Would Pfather Pfleger be "dealt with" this rapidly if he was not (a) a darling of the local Democrat Liberal Elites or (b) accused of molesting little boys? Don't bet on it. As Tom Roeser points out today, Cardinal George is nothing more than a puppet of the radical Leftists. Bet on it.

Chicago Archdiocese as Democrat Satellite

A powerful opinion piece by Tom Roeser rips into the Pfleger controversy like a hot knife. Roeser, who know Chicago politics better than most local politicians know it, lays much blame at the doorstep of the Archdiosese and the local Democrats for allowing the racist rants of racist priest Michael Pfleger to continue. He goes so far as to call the local Catholic power structure a puppet entity of the political party that has an ass as its symbol: Excerpt: Only when Pfleger becomes “persona non grata” with the Democratic party that pulls the ecclesial strings will the archdiocese be forced to do what it has not had the courage to do heretofore—subdue him....The Chicago archdiocese has long been a satellite of the ruling Democratic families who diss doctrine that is inconvenient with the party....The future of the Democratic ticket in Illinois depends on Obama doing well in this state. It has been regarded as a near-certainty but if anyone can derail it and cause working class whites to defect, it is rants by the white Pfleger which touch on anti-white bigotry.

Pfleger Spanked by George the Lame

Not good enough, Cardinal George! Chicago's Cardinal George took a wimpy approach to Priest Michael Pfleger's racist outrage last Sunday. The Cardinal - once again - merely slapped the offensive priest's wrist. Cardinal George: "To avoid months of turmoil in the church, Fr. Pfleger has promised me that he will not enter into campaigning, will not publicly mention any candidate by name and will abide by the discipline common to all catholic priests." (Source: Sun-Times) Okay, but will Cardinal George extract a promise from Pfleger to never again call for a crowd to "snuff" a gun store owner? How many more outrages will the cardinal tolerate before he finally transfers Pfleger to a small island post in central Africa? Pfleger would probably be happier there, anyway, with fewer white devils around. Meanwhile, Cardinal George should look into acquiring a testicle. RELATED: Pfleger Gagged!
