Memo to Catholic Writers and USCCB

Preface: An ounce of prevention is worth 51 million pounds of cure. The Manhattan Declaration and Bishop Thomas Tobin’s dialogues with Congressman Patrick Kennedy are major talking points in dealing with any CINOP in Congress. Here is
the poignant analysis of Health-Care by John Ellis, on Nov. 18/09 under FrontPage
No group has done more to promote the public funding of abortions than the Catholic bishops of America. That might well surprise them, flushed as they are with their success in making a deal in the House in which they supported passage of the Pelosi bill in exchange for an amendment barring public funding of abortions. But when you are dealing with people whose strategic goals are diametrically opposed to yours, you must be careful that what you get is not a temporary strategic retreat that can be reversed at any time, while what you have given is a huge and lasting strategic advantage...
Olympia Snowe helped to vote the Baucus bill out of committee because it ruled out the public option, which she opposed. Within days, Harry Reid had put the public option back in the bill that was now before the full Senate...
The bishops had given a far greater boost to ObamaCare than had Snowe: they actually endorsed the bill, and the slim margin of its victory in the House might not have been there without them. But when questioned by John Boehner, Henry Waxman finally admitted that there was no guarantee that the amendment would still be there as the bill progressed toward final passage. In other words, he and Pelosi had simply pocketed their priceless gain, and if they could betray the bishops, they would...
The AMA supported the bill in exchange for concessions that would reduce planned cuts in pay for doctors, insurance companies at one stage supported it because they thought they’d get more customers as more people were forced to buy insurance, drug companies supported it in exchange for concessions on drug price reductions…
What none of them seemed able to grasp was that the strategic goal toward which Reid and Pelosi were relentlessly advancing was something that would inevitably remove all of the protections they thought they had negotiated for themselves. The subsidized public option that Pelosi and Reid want would inevitably drive private insurers out of business, leaving the government the sole provider of health care INCLUDING ABORTIONS. When that happens government will also control drug prices, as well as conditions of work and pay for doctors.
But this is the kind of one-sided bargain that all these groups have been making with ObamaCare… Chamberlain’s wishful thinking would not allow him to see the power-mad glint in Hitler’s eye, and the same unwillingness to see the glint is at work in the health care debate. Appeasing a hungry monster never works: it grabs what it is offered, and immediately wants more, and more.
The bishops are unlikely to learn anything from the betrayal that Waxman openly admitted to… they will have the deflected attention from the real issues that waverers should have been unable to stomach: the massive addition to an already disastrous budget deficit, huge cost increases for health care & a public option that will degrade its quality…
The bishops, the insurers, the doctors, and the drug companies all need to grasp the rather simple fact that their own strategic goals are fundamentally in conflict with those of Pelosi and Reid, and the public option is at the center of that conflict. For all of them, making deals that allow the public option bandwagon to gather speed is sheer folly. The only way in which they can genuinely protect their interests is by stopping it, now.
George H. Kubeck, CINOP Pelosi and Reid are experts in the double-cross. Kill the HealthCare Bill!

Understanding President Barack Obama – 2 of 2

William A. Borst concludes with this in-depth analysis of the Obama regime.
By 1938 the effects of the Depression were much worse than they had been in 1933. The irony of the Great Depression was that Roosevelt’s New Deal did more to prolong it than alleviate its economic success. It was the increased economic activity and industrial expansion, resulting during World War II that eventually ended the Depression.
Roosevelt and Barack Obama seem to be cut from the same ideological cloth. While FDR provided the skeletal legs for a walking Big Government, during his first months in office Obama has been producing running socialism. His Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel revealed this strategy … to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) you should never let a serious crisis go to waste because it permits you to do things you thought you could not do before.
Taking full advantage of America’s economic crisis, the Obama administration is making radical changes that will drastically alter the American political, moral, economic and social landscape…
Writing in the New Republic before the election, David Samuels described Senator Obama in the terms of Ralph Ellison’s The Invisible Man. While the Hawaiian Candidate (Mindszenty Report, Jan. 2009) was difficult to fathom before the election, since he has become president, Obama has become a more visible man who cannot disguise his statist beliefs and who demonstrates his obvious lack of experience...
Americans are slowly waking up to how Obama’s efficient socialism will affect their lives. Writing in The Wanderer, James Fitzpatrick faulted the president for his willingness to pay the price of hobbled American economy and weakened American middle class, if that what it takes to establish in the U.S. the central elements of a European-style welfare state. Europeans love Obama because his ideas resonate with their trade unionists, elite socialists, technocrats, and populists whose alliance to Marxist principles varies by only slight shades in the crimson palette of European politics.
President Obama’s main method is to make the government the guarantor of middle class security, says the WSJ. His wish list for American entitlements comes from the New Deal toy bag. He wants to make college education a new entitlement. He wants universal health care no matter what the cost. He wants a cap and trade tax that would punish the main sources of U.S. energy and hand Washington a vast new source of revenue. And like Roosevelt, Obama expects the wealthy to pay for his impossible dream…
The Wanderer columnist James Fitzpatrick reminds his fellow Catholics we should not lose sight of where the wealth, the tax base, needed to finance our social programs come from in the first place. He cautions liberal clerics and parishioners that the socialists will eventually run out of rich people’s money to tax and redistribute their wealth…
Some Catholics cite the Church’s social encyclicals, such as Pope Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum (1891) and John XXIII’s (1963) Pacem in Terris to support a statist agenda. IT IS FALSE TO SAY THAT ANY OF THE POPES, G.K. CHESTERTON OR HILAIRE BELLOC ADVOCATED SOCIALISM FOR THE GOVERNMENT OR THE CHURCH.
To the contrary, popes and Catholic apologists have consistently condemned socialism as one of the great heresies of moral philosophy because of its deleterious economic and moral effects on both the Church and the poor. Pope John Paul II made this point in his 1991 encyclical, Centesimus Annus when he wrote, MARXISM DOES NOT RID THE WORLD OF THE SITUATIONS OF INJUSTICE AND OPPRESSION, WHICH MARXISM ITSELF EXPOITED AND ON WHICH IT FED…
Americans are waking up to the fact that the pursuit of power has replaced their pursuit of happiness… Obama’s fast-paced exercise in tyranny just might snap us out of our lethargy. The April outburst of tea parties is a good indication that there is a vibrant spirit in America that will not let our values go down the Obaman road to serfdom…

In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Saturday, November 28, 2009
The writer, William A. Borst, Phd.D. has a special insight in these matters:
Mindszenty Report: June 2009: --Many college textbooks describe American history as a conflict between individual freedom and government power. In the U.S. this theory has transcended all its wars and economic crises since the Revolutionary War.
The economic crash of 2008-09 has been one of the most potentially devastating events ever to happen to Americans as a perfect storm of high employment, a steep decline in real estate values & housing foreclosures saturated the airways & the newspapers with apocalyptic cries of the end of existing world.
A country’s basic freedoms are vulnerable during such times of distress. The best aid that unscrupulous politicians have during such times is ignorance and indifference. A recent edition of Investors Daily Journal wondered why more people were not worried about President Barack Osama’s escalating socialistic solutions for the country’s financial crisis…. The conclusion that most people had not idea of what was happening because of educational and media indoctrination which had effectively screened them from the truth.
Socialism in America has not just happened. It has evolved over a long period of time. It essential fallacy is that it cannot deliver on its promises because they run counter to the grain of human nature, which thrives on the personal incentive to better the condition while preserving individual liberty. No matter how noble socialism’s EGALITARIAN rhetoric, it can only deliver on its promises by using its substantial power to coerce the people to reduce their standard of living to the lowest denominator...
American Socialist Norman Thomas once said, The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day, America will be a socialist nation without knowing how it happened. … creeping socialism has come true under a veneer of a liberal addiction to expecting eternal progress.
Socialistic creeping evolved into the baby steps of the Progressive Movement at the dawning of the 20th century. It began in the big cities as several progressive mayors enacted gas and water socialism where the cities owned the local utilities as a matter of public policy.
…many American progressives got their inspiration from studying at German universities where they came to appreciate the Hegelian theory of a strong state and Prussian militarism as the most efficient way of organizing modern societies.
Progressivism’s final product was more homespun. Early in American history political factions in America revolved around the political philosophies of Thomas Jefferson, who believed in small independent units of economic activity and Alexander Hamilton who saw the country’s future in a strong centralized government that fostered nationalism, manufacturing and export. Herbert Croly, the founder of the New Republic wedded the means of Hamilton’s Big Government with Jeffersonian welfare ends into a dynamic hybrid that has driven the American political engine for 100 years….
Due to the progressives, the American people have been conditioned to petition government in times of crisis. This idea ran counter to the American individualistic spirit until the Great Depression of the 1930’s. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s massive intervention caused liberal historians to credit erroneously his New Deal with rescuing America’s free enterprise system from itself and its failed policy. This fallacy is a mirror of the true picture. FDR did more than any prior president to derail America from its free enterprise system. According to James Powell’s 2003 book, “FDR’s Folly: How Roosevelt and his New Deal Prolonged the Great Depression,” 13 years of Roosevelt conditioned the American people to call on Washington to solve all its economic and social needs…

George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation
George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Wednesday, November 25, 2009
Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore hid protection and favor – and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.
Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be – That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks – for this kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to our becoming a Nation – for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war – for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed – for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the nation One now lately instituted – for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge, and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.
And also that we may then unite in the most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions – to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually – to render our national government a blessing to all people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws , discreetly and faithfully executed an obeyed – to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord- To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and encrease of science among them and us – and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he along knows to be best.

The Diabolical Clever, Evil CINOP Mindset - 1
The Diabolical, Clever, Evil CINOP Mindset: 1
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Tuesday, November 24, 2009
Ref. The Pelosi Art of Deception letter - 11-21-09 – Obama Health Care:
“When that deception involves the ultimate inclusion of abortion coverage and no conscience class protection for doctors and healthcare workers by Catholic-label
Politicians like Nancy Pelosi; then we have a truly diabolical, clever, evil CINOP mindset.”
What is the sad evidence for the above mindset? Let’s take a look at a book by Kathleen Kennedy Townsend. She is the eldest daughter of Robert Kennedy.
1.She claims that the Church betrayed her generation and went into decline by failing to change its teachings about contraception, abortion and sodomy.
2.)She’s unflinchingly self-righteous in her support of abortion. She’s perfectly comfortable with the violent deaths of 50 million American babies surgically ripped from the womb since 1973.
3.)Townsend has long been defining SIN for herself. As a young woman she made up her mind that sexual intercourse didn’t have “to wait till marriage,” provided she found the man she wanted to marry. She decided that what the Church condemns as FORNICATION was something good and might determine “if we were compatible. Luckily for me we were.” (The above from a Book in Review, p. 40, New Oxford Review, November 2009 – “Failing America’s Faithful”: How Today’s Churches are Mixing God with Politics and Losing Their Way. {Also, Ignoratio Elenchi’s article p. 16 for the info below.}
I will stop at this point and continue in another letter. The mindset of this Catholic dissident really bothers me. It’s despicable that the Kennedy clan should be allowed to use the Catholic label to run for office. Shame them - Shun them- and vote CINOPS out of office in 2010. It will depend on Catholic writers to get the message to readers. Study the following Senator Ed Kennedy record:
Ted Kennedy has consistently and publicly flouted Catholic teaching on life:
a)Not only did he consistently support a woman’s “right” to abortion, he voted NO to prohibiting minors to cross state lines for abortion.
b)He voted NO to notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions.
c)He voted NO to criminal penalties for harming an unborn child during the commission of other crimes. He voted NO to banning human cloning.
d)He voted NO to banning partial-birth abortions.
e)He voted NO to maintaining the ban on military-base abortions…
f)He voted YES to ensuring access and funding for contraception.
g)He voted YES to expanding research to more embryonic stem-cell lines.
h)He voted YES to spending $100 million to reduce teen pregnancy by providing them with free contraceptives.
i)Kennedy received a perfect 100% pro-choice rating from NARAL Pro-Choice America and a 0 % rating from National Right to Life.
j)It is also no secret that he was a supporter of SAME-SEX MARRIAGE IN 1996, & NO TO A CONSTITUTIONAL BAN OF S-S-MARRIAGE IN 2002.

THE NATIONAL HISTORIC DECLARATION ON CHRISTIAN CONSCIENCE
The National Historic Declaration on Christian Conscience
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Monday, November 23, 2009
REF. MANHATTANDECLARATION.ORG
Preface: This is a major document which one can us to persuade Catholic writers that the Catholic-in-name-only politician is a most serious threat to Church and country. He must not be cuddled; treated as a Sacred Cow or be an Untouchable. Each CINOP is destructive, an abomination. This is a powerful weapon to educate, persuade and remove the CINOP from public office. “It is exhilarating news.” ghk
NATIONAL RELIGIOUS LEADERS RELEASED AT NOON, FRIDAY, NOV. 20TH, 2009 AT A PRESS CONFERENCE IN WAHINGTON, D.C.:
THE HISTORIC DECLARATION ON CHRISTIAN CONSCIENCE
It is a 4,732-word statement signed by some 125+ Orthodox, Catholic and Evangelical leaders. The Manhattan Declaration is a 4,732-word statement signed by a movement of Orthodox, Catholic and evangelical Christian leaders who are collaborating around moral issues of great concern.
Its 125+ signers affirm the sanctity of human life, marriage as defined by one man and one woman, and religious liberty and freedom of conscience. THE MANHATTAN DECLARATION ENDORSES CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. IT READS AS FOLLOWS:
Christians, when they have lived up to the highest ideals of their faith, have defended the weak and vulnerable and worked tirelessly to protect and strengthen vital institutions of civil society, beginning with the family.
We are Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Christians who have united at this hour to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in defending them. These truths are:
1.)THE SANCTITY OF LIFE
2.)THE DIGNITY OF MARRIAGE AS THE CONJUGAL UNION OF HUSBAND AND WIFE
3.)THE RIGHTS OF CONSCIENCE AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Inasmuch as these truths are foundational to human dignity and the well-being
of society, they are inviolable and non-negotiable. Because they are increasingly
under assault from powerful forces in our culture, we are compelled today to speak out forcefully in their defense, and to commit ourselves to honoring them fully no matter what pressures are brought upon us and our institutions to abandon or comprise them. We make this commitment not as partisans of any political group but as followers of Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
George H. Kubeck (I counted at least 20 bishops and Catholic writer signatures. You can also sign.)

of society, they are inviolable and non-negotiable. Because they are increasingly
under assault from powerful forces in our culture, we are compelled today to speak out forcefully in their defense, and to commit ourselves to honoring them fully no matter what pressures are brought upon us and our institutions to abandon or comprise them. We make this commitment not as partisans of any political group but as followers of Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

The Pelosi Art of Deception
The Pelosi Art of Deception
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Saturday, November 21, 2009
When that deception involves the ultimate inclusion of abortion coverage and no conscience clause protection for doctors and health care workers by Catholic label politicians like Nancy Pelosi; then we have a truly diabolical, clever, evil CINOP mindset.
Let’s study and figure out a statement by Arizona Congressman John Shadeg regarding the vote on the Stupak Amendment to the Pelosi Health Care Bill.
Washington, Nov. 8th, - Last night I was the only Republican member to vote “present” on the Stupak Amendment. I did so because I am passionately pro-life, but I am also passionately pro-freedom in the end, THE STUPAK AMENDMENT GAVE POLITICAL COVER TO DEMOCRATS WHO VOTED FOR NANCY PELOSI FOR SPEAKER.
She is anti-freedom and rabidly pro-abortion. She is no friend of Life and outsmarted opponents of socialized medicine. Before the vote she promised pro-abortion Democrats she would strip the Stupak language. Obama will help her. Let me explain:
Republicans who, at the request of Right to Life, in good faith, voted “yes” on Stupak last night defined a “yes” vote as the pro-life vote. But it wasn’t. A “yes” vote increased the votes for the bill and enabled Pelosi to pass it. That means more abortions.
Instead Republicans could have been principled and neither voted for the Stupak amendment nor against it. We did not have to help Nancy Pelosi. Republicans could have said “present” means “present”. It doesn’t mean “yes” and it doesn’t mean “no.” Members of Congress have three choices when they go to vote. A VOTE OF PRESENT IS A PROTEST VOTE. DOING SO WOULD HAVE DENIED THE PURPORTED PRO-LIFE DEMOCRATS COVER.
Given the extremely narrow margin of victory for the bill, it’s highly likely that without the Stupak language, it would have been defeated. It passed by five votes & there are far more than five Democrats who almost certainly wouldn’t have voted for it with government funded abortions in it.
Harry Mitchell wouldn’t or he would be in much deeper trouble next fall than he is now. Neither is it likely that Driehaus or Hill or Wilson or Mollohan or Ellsworth or Donnelly or perhaps numerous others would have. The bill would have been dead, and along with it, the threat of publicly funded abortions! We could have defeated NANCY PELOSI.
THE TRUTH IS YOU CAN’T BE TRULY PRO-LIFE AND PRO-PELOSI. Even if I am wrong and the bill hadn’t failed, it is absolutely clear the vote on passage would have been closer. It passed by only five votes. One of these votes was Republican: Cao. He stated publicly that he voted “yes” only because Stupak passed. Without his vote the margin would have been only three votes.
NOW, THE DEMOCRATS WHO VOTED FOR STUPAK WILL SAY THE “RIGHT TO LIFE” VOTE WAS ON STUPAK AND THEY VOTED PRO-LIFE. REPUBLICANS SET THE STANDARD. INSTEAD OF MAKING ‘PRESENT’ THE PRO-LIFE VOTE, WE MADE ‘YES’ THE PRO-LIFE VOTE…
WHEN THE STUPAK LANGUAGE IS STRIPPED IN CONFERENCE (AND NANCY PELOSI WILL STRIP IT), THE SUPPOSEDLY PRO-LIFE DEMOCRATS WILL BE PRESSURED BY PELOSI AND OBAMA TO VOTE ‘YES’ ON THE CONFERENCE REPORT MORE INTENSELY THAN EVER. PELOSI AND OBAMA … WILL TELL THESE PURPORTELY “PRO-LIFE” DEMOCRATS THEY’RE SAFE FROM ATTACK BY “RIGHT TO LIFE” BECAUSE THEY VOTED FOR THE STUPAK AMENDMENT...

THE ACLU KILLS
The ACLU Kills
In support of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Thursday, November 19, 2009
If it is not one thing, it is something else that the ACLU promotes. The ACLU kills freedom, common sense, and the American Spirit of free enterprise and religion. They dislike and fear practicing Christians. The ACLU serves as the legal storm troopers for the secular false humanistic leftist mindset in America.
Let me share with you what I am talking about? It is from Joseph Bottom, The Public Square, “First Things”, December, 2009 p. 63 – It’s my interpretation.
1.) So the California court penalizes doctors for referring a patient to another clinic because they didn’t want to perform in-vitro fertilization for an unmarried couple.
2.) A state representative in Connecticut submits legislation that would force the Catholic Church to divest itself of its parishes.
3.) A judge in Montana decides to arrange for euthanasia when a patient requests it.
4.) The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission rules against a college in
North Carolina for attempting not to provide it employees with health insurance that covers contraception.
5.) A charity in Massachusetts is forced out of the adoption business.
6.) The Ninth Circuit attempts to compel a park to remove a memorial cross rather than trade the land with the cross into private hands.
7.) A New Hampshire divorce court orders a Christian mother to stop home schooling because her daughter “appeared to reflect her mother’s rigidity on questions of faith.”
8.) The President allows a diminished form of funding for faith-based institutions to continue, but only if these religious organizations stop hiring on the basis of their religion.
9.) An Illinois druggist is ordered to dispense abortifacients or to close his business.
10.) The blizzard of lawsuits to ban Christmas displays is beginning to fall on us
once again, the most bizarre of the nation’s holiday traditions.
How any Christian can be a member of the ACLU is beyond my comprehension? Many politicians use it a stepping stone, a cover to advance themselves politically and socially. Identify them as members and never vote for them. They have about 500,000 members in America and about 500 million dollars in the bank for harassment, proselytizing and public brainwashing of our beliefs.
They claim to protect our freedom of speech. What I have written is on minds of most normal and informed Americans. I’ve just put it down on paper.
When you are at the Tea Parties, pro-life or marriage promotion public events buy some red balloons with a long string. Mark in black: ACLU KILLS or whatever and whoever they promote; Obama Health Care, Loretta Sanchez, etc.

Jay A. Parker and President Ronald Reagan - 1
Jay A. Parker and President Ronald Reagan - 1
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Monday, November 16, 2009
This is the first in a series on Reagan’s leadership and Parker’s insights:
(From the book, “Courage: to put Country above Color” the J.A. Parker Story)
Prologue: President Ronald Reagan to J.A. Parker, “You and I have worked together on behalf of conservative ideals for many years now, and I have always been impressed by our energy and dedication.”
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, “Jay is the most principled person I have met in Washington. Jay has always been there for advice, encouragement and direction. This is the man I call for advice … I know I wouldn’t be on the court if I had met Jay Parker.”
He (Jay) worked with the United States Information Agency (USIA) to help the Reagan Administration project a more accurate view of America to the rest of the world. After Jimmy Carter had single-handedly degraded America’s image in the world by claiming that America had suffered from a “malaise” and allowing American citizens to be held hostage for 444 days by a third-world regime, there was a lot of work to do to rebuild America’s image in the world.
The Reagan Administration was well aware of the fact that Jay had been a staunch “tough-on-crime: advocate for many years. So the Reagan team utilized Jay’s experience and expertise on the criminal justice system on a couple of different locations. During the campaign, Parker served on Reagan’s Victims of Crime Advisory Committee.
In 1987, the Reagan Administration once again tapped Parker to help on a criminal justice matter. Jay was asked to serve with Attorney General Edwin Meese III on special committee to work on the problem of missing and exploited children.
From July 1984 to July 1986, Jay Parker worked with the Defense Department as a member of the Army Science Board “to provide counsel to the Secretary of the Army in the field of Science and related matter”.
After a decade of helping to spearhead the Reagan Revolution, Jay said later that it was all worthwhile. “Ronald Reagan was one of America’s greatest presidents. He restored this country’s honor and prestige in the world. He brought down the ‘Evil Empire’ of the Soviet Union.”
“President Reagan rebuilt our economy here at home because he re-established Americans’ faith in our free enterprise system. Many younger people don’t realize that unemployment was over 10% in the Jimmy Carter era. Interest rates were around 20%, Inflation had hit double digits. Gas lines were common because America was perceived as weak and we were literally held over the barrel by OPEC.”
“Ronald Reagan reversed that by reducing taxes and unleashing the free enterprise system to once again produce wealth in America…. He reestablished belief in core American values like patriotism and faith in God. And he did it all with a stunning degree of grace.”

Carl A. Anderson's Monthly Report
Carl A. Anderson’s Monthly Report
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Sunday, November 15, 2009
Christian Conscience and the Future of Politics
Anderson is the Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus: Columbia, Nov. /09
Pope Benedict is calling us to continue what French philosopher Jacques Maritain called the “evangelization of the secular conscience” by applying “faith respectively but decisively in the public arena, in the expectation that social norms and policies be informed by the desire to live by the truth that set every man and woman free” (cf.Caritas in Veritate, 9).
Pope Benedict XVI has long made clear that Christianity does not believe in political messiahs… His words in September in the Czech Republic – a country celebrating 20 years since the fall of Communism – have important implications for all of Europe, for the Philippines and for the American continent, places whose history is inseparable from Christianity.
Speaking here at an ecumenical meeting, the pope noted, “As Europe listens to the story of Christianity, she hears her own. Her notions of justice, freedom and social responsibility, together with the cultural and legal institutions established to preserve these ideas and hand them on to future generations, are shaped by her Christian inheritance.” … Christianity must not be limited to the margins of society. Religious liberty must be protected, and Christianity must have a voice in the public arena, in shaping the conscience of the continent and in bringing moral consensus.
He said, “I wish to underline the irreplaceable role of Christianity for the formation of the conscience of each generation and promotion of a basic ethical consensus that serves every person who call this continent ‘home’!”…
Christians must bring the truth of their faith to bear on the formation of their nations’ conscience… In the Americas, as in Europe and the Philippines, the entire history is one of “baptized Christians.” Christians founded each country in America, and, equally important, each country has a strong Catholic tradition…
In the past century, the Catholic Church has been a witness to conscience, whether the issue was civil rights, religious liberty or the right to life. So, what should the future of politics look like?
We should start by considering how Catholic social teaching can inform the entirety of our political platforms. There must be space for Christianity in the “political ethics” of the state… As people of faith, we must have the responsibility of protecting the Gospel from manipulation by any political philosophy --- including our own…
During his meeting with Czech leaders, Pope Benedict put it this way: “True freedom presupposes the search for truth – for the true good – and hence finds its fulfillment precisely in knowing and doing what is right and just…. For Christians truth has a name: God and goodness has a face: Jesus Christ.”

Thomas Sowell - An American Patriot
Thomas Sowell – An American Patriot
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com- Saturday, November 14, 2009
His weekly columns are always outstanding. He does not cater to any minority or cooperate in a cover-up of the changes our President Barack Obama is doing to America.
The President is an education for all America. Never again will we vote in a liberal socialist as President. This President does not care about the background and beliefs of black Americans.
In California, almost 70% of Black Americans voted for Proposition 8 in California. It states that marriage is between a man and woman. Today, he dismisses those values as “outworn arguments and old attitudes.” How can any responsible President say that? Also, he argues, that grassroots campaigns to defend marriage are “divisive and deceptive efforts to feed people lingering fears for political and ideological gain.” Well we need to pray for him and vote out of office any of his supporters between now and 2012. We started in Nov. 2009.
Let’s check out Sowell’s article, When Will We Wake Up? It is in the Orange County Register, Wednesday, Oct. 28/ 2009. It hits the nail on the head.
1.)With one year in office we have cabinet members and czars in power without any of them confirmed by the Senate.
2.)We have a czar who is talking about restricting talk radio.
3.)The President has floated the crazy idea of a national police force.
4.)“Barack Obama has not only said that he is out to ‘change the United States of America,” the people he has associated for years have expressed in words and deeds THEIR HOSTILITY TO THE VALUES, THE PRINCIPLES AND PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY.”
5.)Jeremiah Wright said it with words: “God damn America!” Bill Ayers said it with bombs that he planted. Community activist goons have said it with their contempt for the rights of other people.
6.)The President’s Czars include persons who have praised enemy dictators like Mao, and look upon public schools as places to promote sexual practices contrary to the values of most Americans.
7.)“Why should we assume that Barack Obama didn’t know what such people were like, when he has been associating with these kinds of people for decades before he reached the White House?”
8.)“Nothing is more consistent with his lifelong patterns than putting such people in government – people who reject American values, resent Americans in general and successful Americans in particular, as well as resenting American influence in the world.”
9.)“Nothing so epitomizes President Obama’s own contempt for American values and traditions like trying to ram two bills through Congress in his first term – each bill more than a thousand pages long – too fast for either of them to be read, much less discussed….” All of this without bi-partisan support.
Let’s view the Obama regime as persons who live in the political correct Twilight Zone. {Recall that TV series.) Common sense, reasonable and natural law loving Americans including members of the Legal Immigrants United cry out, “This is not America.” So get your placards ready for the Pro-Life March in January 23rd, in Washington, D.C., or locally. Tea Parties & other Traditional Americans are invited.

Catholic Writers: Blindness, Bias, Cover-up?
Catholic Writers: Blindness, Bias, Cover-up?
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegonecom – Saturday, Nov. 7, 2009
Keep in mind the Catholic writers for “America”, “Commonweal”, and “National Catholic Reporter.” Now for Pope Benedict’s written truth for today:
“The concern of the doctor, like that of the priest, is for human life. more full, more secure, so that mankind can be freer and happier – in a word, that their life may be more truly “life.” Jesus came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
Also, the US Bishops urgent message to Congress: ABORTION ISN’T HEALTH CARE. Lastly, “No one can be at the same time a sincere Catholic and a true Socialist.” Pius XI, Quad. Anno (1931)
Dear Reader,
IMAGINE that Speaker Nancy Pelosi is a Republican and is pushing the Health Care Legislation in today’s Congress. Now let’s find out for the above 3 Catholic magazine’s writers & editors something about this Catholic-label person.
Pelosi voted again the ban on partial-birth abortions at least eight times. She is opposed to the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act. She voted against Parental Notification when minor children seek an abortion.
In 1998, she opposed a constitutional amendment to permit school prayer in the classroom, and in 1999, she opposed allowing state and local governments to display the Ten Commandments on public property, including schools.
She voted against the Catholic position on Stem Cell Research (110th), Marriage Amendment Act (109th), and Child interstate Abortion Notification Act (109th) and Abortion in military medical facilities (109th). Also, Pelosi voted against the Catholic position on Coercive abortion/United Nations Population Fund; Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act: passage (109th) and Human Cloning Ban: passage (108th)
AND IMAGINE THAT THE ABOVE IS THE MINDSET OF MOST CATHOLIC-LABEL REPUBLICANS POLITICIANS IN TODAY’S CONGRESS. I SINCERELY BELIEVE THAT MAGAZINES A., C., AND N. WOULD HAVE LAMBASTED THESE SO-CALLED CATHOLIC POLITICIANS AND LITERALLY DRIVEN THEM OUT OF OFFICE. SO WHY HAVE THEY BEEN SILENT ABOUT TODAY’S MIS-GUIDED CATHOLIC-LABEL DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS?
In reviewing The Commonweal, 85th anniversary issue – Nov. 6, 2009:
“Neuhaus wrote in criticizing America for publishing articles that discussed and debated the churches teachings on homosexuality, same-sex marriage, and embryonic stem-cell research, “that reader’s need ‘America’ in order to aware of alternative and opposing viewpoints.” P. 22
{The above is false Jesuit hogwash. I’m a graduate of a Jesuit College. Why not discuss also fornication, pornography and adultery for opposing viewpoints? There is definitely a blindness, a democratic bias and cover-up for these horrible Catholic-label politician voting for today’s health care system. Ghk}
The above Catholic publications have a liberal, progressive slant. The influence on the bishops who receive these publications IS tremendous. The MAGAZINES were on the side of those who were OK with President Obama at Notre Dame and receiving a law degree.

Keep in mind the Catholic writers for “America”, “Commonweal”, and “National Catholic Reporter.” Now for Pope Benedict’s written truth for today:
“The concern of the doctor, like that of the priest, is for human life. more full, more secure, so that mankind can be freer and happier – in a word, that their life may be more truly “life.” Jesus came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
Also, the US Bishops urgent message to Congress: ABORTION ISN’T HEALTH CARE. Lastly, “No one can be at the same time a sincere Catholic and a true Socialist.” Pius XI, Quad. Anno (1931)
Dear Reader,
IMAGINE that Speaker Nancy Pelosi is a Republican and is pushing the Health Care Legislation in today’s Congress. Now let’s find out for the above 3 Catholic magazine’s writers & editors something about this Catholic-label person.
Pelosi voted again the ban on partial-birth abortions at least eight times. She is opposed to the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act. She voted against Parental Notification when minor children seek an abortion.
In 1998, she opposed a constitutional amendment to permit school prayer in the classroom, and in 1999, she opposed allowing state and local governments to display the Ten Commandments on public property, including schools.
She voted against the Catholic position on Stem Cell Research (110th), Marriage Amendment Act (109th), and Child interstate Abortion Notification Act (109th) and Abortion in military medical facilities (109th). Also, Pelosi voted against the Catholic position on Coercive abortion/United Nations Population Fund; Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act: passage (109th) and Human Cloning Ban: passage (108th)
AND IMAGINE THAT THE ABOVE IS THE MINDSET OF MOST CATHOLIC-LABEL REPUBLICANS POLITICIANS IN TODAY’S CONGRESS. I SINCERELY BELIEVE THAT MAGAZINES A., C., AND N. WOULD HAVE LAMBASTED THESE SO-CALLED CATHOLIC POLITICIANS AND LITERALLY DRIVEN THEM OUT OF OFFICE. SO WHY HAVE THEY BEEN SILENT ABOUT TODAY’S MIS-GUIDED CATHOLIC-LABEL DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS?
In reviewing The Commonweal, 85th anniversary issue – Nov. 6, 2009:
“Neuhaus wrote in criticizing America for publishing articles that discussed and debated the churches teachings on homosexuality, same-sex marriage, and embryonic stem-cell research, “that reader’s need ‘America’ in order to aware of alternative and opposing viewpoints.” P. 22
{The above is false Jesuit hogwash. I’m a graduate of a Jesuit College. Why not discuss also fornication, pornography and adultery for opposing viewpoints? There is definitely a blindness, a democratic bias and cover-up for these horrible Catholic-label politician voting for today’s health care system. Ghk}
The above Catholic publications have a liberal, progressive slant. The influence on the bishops who receive these publications IS tremendous. The MAGAZINES were on the side of those who were OK with President Obama at Notre Dame and receiving a law degree.

Obama's Fatal Flaws and Blindness
Obama’s Fatal Flaws and Blindness
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Thursday, November 5, 2009
1.) Background:
On Saturday night, (Oct. 10,2009) billing himself as the opening act for singer Lady GaGa, President Obama mustered all of his rhetorical skills to deliver a rousing speech to the annual dinner of the Human Rights Campaign, America’s largest pro-homosexual organization… (ref. frcpublic@frc.org – Homosexual Activist … for Obama, 10/12/2009)
Media reports on the speech focused on the President’s pledge, “I will end Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.” Obama declared, “We cannot afford to cut from our ranks people with critical skills we need” --- while to recognize that allowing homosexuality in military ranks would devastate recruiting and reenlistment rates. The roughly two percent of the population that is homosexual will never replace the ten percent current military personnel who have said they would not re-enlist if homosexuals are allowed in the military…
One thing was clear from Obama’s speech --- his goal (like that of homosexual activists is not simply equal legal rights. IT IS RATHER TO OVERTURN MILLENNIA OF MORAL TEACHING THAT HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE HARMS OF HOMOSEXUAL CONDUCT AND THE UNIQUE BENEFITS OF MARRIAGE BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN. HE DISMISSED THOSE VALUES AS “OUTWORN ARGUMENTS AND OLD ATTITUDES,” WHILE DECRYING THE GRASSROOTS CAMPAIGNS TO DEFEND MARRIAGE AS “DIVISIVE AND DECEPT EFFORTS TO FEED PEOPLE’S LINGER FEARS FOR POLITICAL AND IDEOLOGICAL GAIN.
In other words, if you hold to traditional values, the ultimate goal is simple – to silence you. President Obama told HRC, “Do not doubt the direction we are heading and the destination we will reach.” THAT’S A WARNING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SHOULD HEED. {The above is a tragedy for our country. VOTE IN 2010.
2.) Background:
I remember when the Berlin Wall came down 20 years ago in October, 1989:
Alexander Solzhenitsyn, “We Have Ceased to See the Purpose,” Address to the International Academy of Philosophy, Liechtenstein, Sept. 14, 1993, The Solzhenitsyn Reader, edited by E. Ericson and Daniel Mahoney (Wilmington: ISI Books, 2006), 597
“And so, at the end of the twentieth century there burst forth a sequence of events, expected by many of my countrymen but catching many in the West by surprise: Communism collapsed due its inherent lack of viability and from the weight of the accumulated rot within. It collapsed with incredible speed and in a dozen countries at once. The nuclear threat suddenly was no more. And then? A few short months of joyful relief swept over the world (while some bemoaned the death of the earthly Utopia, of the Socialist Paradise on earth). It passed, but somehow the planet did not grow calmer; …”
Fr. James V. Schall, S.J., Oct. 19, 2009, Ignatius Press, On Keeping People In: -
“Twenty years after the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the most remarkable thing about it today is that it is largely forgotten... Not merely are the reasons forgotten why the Berlin Wall was initially erected by the Marxists, but also the reasons for its unexpected collapse have evaporated as if no lesson is to be learned from the once riveting event… And yet, in 2009, after the world economic crisis, it is said that the German editions of DAS KAPITAL are selling well…. The two figures most responsible for the destruction of the Wall were Ronald Reagan and John Paul II. Both manifested what few if any social scientists possessed, namely, an inner spiritual understanding.”
What’s my beef? The leader of Germany invited President Obama to attend the 20th Anniversary of the collapse of the Berlin Wall. The President said he is unable to attend.

Best Pro-Life Quotes from "Caritas In Veritate"
BEST PRO-LIFE QUOTES FROM “CARITAS IN VERITATE”
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2009
Let’s have some common sense, reason and natural law on life. Pope Benedict XVI
Encyclical, “Truth in Love,” provides all of this. (Ref. LifeSiteNews.com – Tuesday, July 7th, 2009)
28. One of the most striking aspects of development in the present day is the important question of respect for life cannot in any way be detached from questions concerning the development of peoples…
Not only does the situation of poverty still provokes high rates of infant mortality in many religions, but some parts of the world still experience practices of demographic control, on the part of governments that often promote contraception and even go so far as to impose abortion. In economically developed countries, legislation contrary to life is widespread, and it has already shaped moral attitudes and praxis, contributing to the spread of anti-birth mentality; frequent attempts are made to export this mentality to other States as if it were a form of cultural progress.
Some non-government Organizations work actively to spread abortion, at times promoting the practice of sterilization in poor countries… to specific health-care policies which de facto involve the imposition of strong birth-control measures. Further grounds for concern are laws permitting euthanasia …
Openness to life is the centre of true development. When a society moves towards the denial or suppression of life, it ends up no longer find the necessary motivation and energy to strive for man’s true good. If personal and social sensitivity towards the acceptance of a new life lost, then other forms of acceptance that are valuable for society also wither away. The acceptance of life strengthens moral fiber and makes people capable of mutual help; wealthy peoples can better understand the need of poor ones…
44. The notions of rights and duties in development must also take account of the problems associated with population growth. This is a very important aspect of authentic development, since it concerns the inalienable values of life and the family. To consider population increase as a primary cause of underdevelopment is mistaken, even from an economic point of view.
Morally responsible openness to life represents a rich social and economic resource. Populous nations have been able to emerge from poverty thanks not least to the size of their population and the talents of their people. On the other hand, formerly prosperous nations are presently passing through a phase of uncertainty and some cases decline, precisely because of their falling birth rates; this has become a crucial problem highly affluent societies. The decline in births, falling at times beneath the so-called “replacement level”, also puts a strain on social welfare systems,
In order to protect nature, it is not enough to intervene with economic incentives or deterrents; not even an apposite education is sufficient. These are important steps, but the decisive issue is the overall moral tenor of society. If there is a lack of respect for the right to life and to a natural death, if human conception, gestation and birth are made artificial, if human embryo are sacrificed to research, the conscience of society ends up losing the concept of human ecology and along with it, that of environmental ecology.
In vitro fertilization, embryo research, the possibility of manufacturing clones and human hybrids: all this is now emerging and being promoted in today’s highly disillusioned culture, which believes it has mastered every mystery, because the origin of life is within our grasp… the powerful new instruments that the “Culture of Death” has at its disposal… the systematic eugenic programming of births…

Cardinal Roger Mahoney - 4
Cardinal Roger Mahoney – 4
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com –All Souls – Mon., Nov. 2, 2009
1.)Let’s start with some good news. We are a pro-life nation. Let’s begin thinking as a pro-life nation. Thanks to all the FOCA postcards mailed to Congress; a negative situation was turned into a positive one. We are also a center-right nation. The polls are about 40% Conservative, 36% Moderate, and 20% Liberal. There are about 4% that need conversion.
2.)The passage of the Pelosi Health Care System is coming up this week. We need to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative. Hopefully and prayerfully, the Catholic label Democrat Congressperson will vote wisely so that the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision will not be enshrined in Healthcare. Sadly, I do consider the CINOP an Albatross around the neck of the Catholic Church & a real scandal and embarrassment to all Americans. A negative can be changed into a positive with their replacement in 2010.
3.)What I feared about Cardinal Mahoney comments may be unwarranted.
Ref. Letter # 1. Cardinal Mahoney’s comments, “Way beyond my field.” “My field is immigration.” Will the CINOP interpret these as code words? You can vote for this health care bill no matter what it contains even if it enshrines abortion and elimination of the conscience clause. Remember there is something good coming up with the immigration bills. The bishops of the great state of Texas came out with a commentary on Health Care.
4.)By the way, the immigration comment inspired me to post today “Legal
Immigrants United.” I view what is happening within Mexico as a tragedy for all of the Americas. It’s like a corrupt communist tyranny except in Mexico it is about the violence of drug money and massive public corruption. We have millions of Canadian immigrants who are now Americans. It is unthinkable that something similar should be happening in Canada. I want to vacation to the Baja Riviera like the ones in France and Spain. Do we need Mexican-American Freedom Fighters?
5.)The Truth is the most powerful weapon of the pro-life movement or any
Movement. Often the truth hurts but that is the reality we live in and if we want to survive as free nation. Pope Benedict’s Coat of Arms reads: Co-Workers of the Truth – the participation of the faithful in the service of the gospel. Let’s always start off with prayer. Let’s check off some of the prayers we said last week at the abortion sites in Long Beach (across the street from L.B. Memorial Hospital) and city of Orange (corner Tustin and the 22 fwy.) a Planned Parenthood facility. (Never to be called a clinic.)
The Descent of the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is our Advocate: He pleads our cause, for we cannot save ourselves. We pray that He will make us advocates for the babies, who cannot speak or write or vote or protest or even pray.
Proclamation of the Kingdom of God and Invitation to Conversion: “Repent and believe the Good News.” Let us pray that these first words of Jesus’ public ministry may be heard by all who have committed abortion. May they know that the Lord calls them back to conversion, and may they experience life-giving repentance?
The Scourging at the Pillar: As Christ’s flesh was torn by the instruments of those who scourged Him, so the bodies of babies in the womb are torn by the instruments of the abortionists. Let us pray that abortionists may repent of these acts of child killing.
Carrying the Cross: Jesus was not condemned by the power of wicked people. He was condemned because of the silence of good people. Silence always helps the oppressor, never the victim. Let us pray that we may never be silent about abortion, but rather will clearly speak up to save babies from death.

Let’s focus on our immigrants from 5 countries Vietnam, Cambodia. Cuba, Mexico & Canada. We love America, the traditions, the Constitution and Founding Fathers. However, the Hate-America Ideologues annoy us. They are native citizens of the U.S.A., and have become the radical Democrats in Congress determined to socialize the country. David Horowitz’s book “Radical Son” explains the origin of this mentality from past history. 302
“That same summer there were reports of a blood bath in Indochina. The Khmer Rouge had swept through Cambodia, leaving a killing field in their wake. From Vietnam itself had come reports of a hundred thousand summary executions, a million and a half refugees, and more than a million people imprisoned in “re-education camps” and GULAGS in the south.
These events produced a shock of recognition in some quarters of the LEFT. Joen Baez took out a full-page ad in the New York Times for an “Appeal to the Conscience of North Vietnam.” She enlisted a number of former “anti-war” activists to sign her call to the Communists to show more humanity in their treatment of their opponents.
As soon as her statement appeared, however, Baez was attacked by TOM HAYDEN and JANE FONDA as a tool of the CIA. A counter ad was organized by Cora Weiss, who had traveled to Hanoi and collaborated with the regime in its torture of American POWs.
The Weiss ad praised the Communists for their moderation in administering the peace.
The significance of this conflict derived from the role that the left itself had played in the tragedies. In 1973, Nixon and Kissinger negotiated a peace treaty that was designed to keep the South Vietnamese regime in place and remove America’s military presence. I (David Horowitz, a former American Communist member) knew that the outcome was not going to be the “liberation” we had promised. However, with American forces out of the picture, I (David) saw no compelling reason to remain politically in the fray.
But HAYDEN and others like him did. After the anti-draft movement disintegrated in 1970, HAYDEN and FONDA organized an “Indo-China Peace Campaign” to cut off remaining American support for the regimes in Cambodia and South Vietnam. For the next few years the campaign worked tirelessly to ensure the victory of the North Vietnamese Communists and Khmer Rouge.
Accompanied by a camera team, HAYDEN and FONDA traveled first to Hanoi and then to the “liberated” zones in South Vietnam, to make a propaganda film, Called “Introduction to the Enemy”, it attempted to persuade viewers that the communists were going to recreate and new society in the South. Equality and justice awaited its inhabitants if only America would cut off support for the Saigon regime.
Assisted by radical legislators {Democrats} RON DELLUMS and Bella Abzug, HAYDEN set up a caucus in the Capitol, where he lectured congressional staffers on the need to end American aid. He (HAYDEN) directed the attention to Cambodia as well, lobbying for an accommodation with the Khmer Rouge guerillas.
Nixon’s resignation over Watergate provided all the leverage HAYDEN and his activists needed. The Democrats won the mid-term elections, bringing to Washington a new group of legislators determined to undermine the settlement that Nixon and Kissinger achieved. The aid was cut and the Saigon regime fell, and the Khmer Rouge marched into the Cambodian capital. In the two years that followed more Indochinese were killed by the victorious Communists than had been killed on both sides in all 13years of the anti-Communist war. IT WAS THE BLOODBATH THAT OUR OPPONENTS HAD PREDICTED. BUT FOR THE LEFT THERE WOULD BE NO CONTRITION AND NO LOOK BACK…”
