Sort of muddies up the waters if you take our point. We do know one thing about Mr. Obama's religious preference though, he ain't no catholic. We know that because he went to Notre Dame, which is like the Las Vegas of popiness in this country, and said this:
Amid a scattering of angry protests over his support for abortion rights, President Obama addressed the issue head-on Sunday at the University of Notre Dame, calling for "open hearts, open minds, fair-minded words" in the pursuit of "common ground."Ha ha ha ha ha ha!! That's pretty funny Mr. President. Look, this is the catholic church here, the same church that says if you ain't a C-dog, you're church is whack and you're whack. The Benedicto says that pagan babies can't go to purgatory anymore to wait for an opening in heaven, except maybe they can if someone is willing to pay their rent and Muslims are the original G's.
"Open hearts, open minds, fair-minded words?" P shaw Mr. President. Who you think you're talking to, Quakers?
The invitation from one of America's best-known Catholic universities ignited a firestorm of discussion over whether an institution that adheres to the Roman Catholic Church's condemnation of abortion should confer an honorary law degree on a president who is committed to safeguarding abortion rights.Right, because lord knows that last thing you want to do when abortion is legal is give someone a law degree because then he'll be all like, "let's uphold the law, dudes."
"Is it possible for us to join hands in common effort?" he said.Umm...no.
"As citizens of a vibrant and varied democracy, how do we engage in vigorous debate? How does each of us remain firm in our principles, and fight for what we consider right, without demonizing those with just as strongly held convictions on the other side?"Er...we don't.
The failure of both sides to use "fair-minded words," he said, overly inflames an important debate. As an example, he described his own 2004 campaign Web site, which at one point referred to "right-wing ideologues who want to take away a woman's right to choose. It was not until a doctor e-mailed him about the phrase that Obama ordered it taken down, he said."Why, how incredibly open minded of you sir. How is that working out?
One protester yelled "Abortion is murder!" "Baby killer!" and "You have blood on your hands." Another shouted, "Stop killing our children."Yes, well still a work in progress apparently.
"Remember, too, that the ultimate irony of faith is that it necessarily admits doubt," Obama said. "This doubt should not push us away from our faith. But it should humble us. It should temper our passions and cause us to be wary of too much self-righteousness."OK, we're going to have to get back to you on that.
