WHAT'S NEXT FOR THE AMERICAN CATHOLIC VOTER 2 OF 3

 # 2  WHAT'S NEXT FOR THE AMERICAN CATHOLIC VOTER? 2 OF 3

In pursuit of the truth - http://www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com - Thursday, Dec. 29, 2016

    I believe that the result of the presidential election was a miracle.  How do you explain this to the Leftists and 20% of the population that do not claim adherence to any religion?  I can understand why the leader of the Green Party wanted a recount in several states. I would also.
  
The mainstream media was 100% against Trump and 52 out of 55 major newspapers supported Hillary. The Trump majority vote of about 10,000 in Wisconsin, 20,000 in Michigan, and 60,000 in Pennsylvania could have been in Hillary's favor. Then the progressive anti-Christian agenda would have gone full-speed ahead.  I sincerely believe that God intervened. Why? First give glory to God in the highest and return to the religious roots of this nation.* End all tweets with praise to God. God bless America.
    Ben Carson's "My Faith Votes"stated that Evangelical Christians and observant Catholics made up 33 percent of the electorate in the 2016 election. Noteworthy information comes from "Faith and Freedom Coalition": "Self-identified evangelicals comprised a record 26% of the electorate and voted 81% for Trump, with only 16% voting for Hillary Clinton...
 
 Faithful, pro-life Roman Catholics contributed mightily to the faith vote. White Catholics, one out of every six voters, voted 54% for Trump and 36% for Clinton, swinging Rust belt states like Ohio, Iowa, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to the GOP column." (However a majority of nominal Catholics in California and New York and other states in the East voted for Hillary Clinton.)
    * Let's listen to one past President, one Congressman and one past Pope!
President Lincoln in 1862: "The ways of God are mysterious and profound beyond all comprehension - 'Who by searching can find Him out?" God only knows the issues of this business. He has destroyed nations from the map of history for their sins. Nevertheless, my hopes prevail generally above my fears for our Republic. Times are dark, the spirits of ruin are abroad in all their power, and the mercy of God alone can save us." Johnson, Lincoln, 101
   
 Fisher Ames, Congressman from Massachusetts in the First Congress of the United States. "Should not the Bible regain the place it once held as a school-book? Its morals are pure, its examples are captivating and noble ... In no book is there so good English, so pure and so elegant, and by teaching all the same they will speak alike, and the Bible will justly remain the standard of language as well as of faith." Northrop, Witness, 12
 
 Pope Emeritus  Benedict XVI, "This is the message of peace at Bethlehem: peace among men results from God's glory. Those who are concerned about the human race and its well being have to be concerned about God's glory and first of all." December  29, "Co-Workers of the Truth."

  The daily rosary, and  prayers for the Sainthood of Blessed Margaret of Costello, O.P. will help.:

"Had she been conceived today, Margaret surely would have been a victim of abortion or left to die at birth.... and what a tragedy what would have been!!!
    A tragedy for Margaret ... who would have been deprived of the opportunity to suffer for Christ and thereby achieve the heights of sanctity; a tragedy for the Church ... who would have deprived of such an extraordinary daughter, for each of us .... who handicapped as we are by prejudice, by greed, by indifference, by cold-heartedness, or by whatever form it may take, would have been deprived of one with whom we can identify ... of one who could truly show us that the only deformity of sin.
    As an unwanted deformed child would she not be 'the saint' for our time .... a special patron of the unborn, the handicapped, the disabled, the social outcasts ... the patron of the UNWANTED? Will you join in a crusade for her canonization? She will never fail to help those who invoke her."
    Blessed Margaret of Castello, O.P. Crusade, Priority of St. Louis Bertrand,
    1104 South Sixth Street, Louisville, Ky., 40203, (502) 583-4448
    
    Happy New Year!                                                                                                                                        George H. Kubeck

WHAT'S NEXT FOR THE AMERICAN CATHOLIC VOTER? 1 OF 3

    WHAT'S NEXT FOR THE AMERICAN CATHOLIC VOTER? 1 of 3
In pursuit of the truth - http://www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com -  Saturday, Dec. 24, 2016
Four Prefaces:
    1. On Friday, Dec. 16, 2016 at 3:02 P.M. Dennis Prager left the following message on my telephone. " Happy Hanukah as the case may be.  Christmas is the perfect time to remember that America was founded on Judeo-Christian values, values that the Left seeks to replace. At Prager University we fight to preserve these values not just at Christmas time but every day of the year.
 
    This year Prager videos had an amazing 225 million views. If you enjoyed this year's all star line up of presenters just  wait to see our line-up for 2017.
 
    Our student ambassador program Prager Force provided hundred of students in High School and Universities across the country, the tools and training they need to fight left-wing indoctrination, while promoting American Founding Principles.  None of this, none of it would be possible without you. Those who have donated this year, thank you very much.
 
    Those who haven't please consider going to Prager University and make a donation. On behalf of Prager University, I wish you and your family a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year."
 
    2. On the eve of the election, as commentators contemplated what it all meant, CBS New's Bob Schieffer remarked that this campaign was uniquely horrible. "I have seen a few, but I have run out of ways to say that I have never seen one like this. It's as if the nation is enduring some kind of curse. What should we expect next - that it will rain frogs? I wouldn't bet against it."
 
    When Peggy Noonan wrote her last Wall Street Journal column before voters went to the polls, she was in a similarly reflective mood. "A closing thought: God is in charge of history." she wrote.
He asks us to work, to try, to pour ourselves out to make things better. But He is an actor in history also. He chastises and rescues. He intervenes in ways seen and unseen. Or chooses not to. Twenty sixteen looks to me as a chastisement. He's trying to get our attention. We have candidates we can't proud of. We must choose among the embarrassments. What might we be doing as a nation and a people that would have earned this moment." (Nov. 3, 2016)
 
    It is highly unusual in modern America to hear mainstream commentators openly wondering the nation is being cursed, even chastised by God. But this is where the lead-up to this election left us.
 
    3. Liberals rained righteous wrath upon Mr. Trump for years-old boasts about his exploits with women... In truth these same people are passionate advocates of sexual license.... Today's America piously condemns Mr. Trump for sins of sexism. Yet it simultaneously promotes fornication, adultery and pornography.... making a best selling book and movie phenomenon out of "Fifty Shades of Gray", which glamorizes a powerful billionaire businessman bringing an unsuspecting woman into literal bondage.
    Where is the liberal outrage against the porn industry, which routinely depicts women being brutalized and abused in countless horrific ways.? Why never a word of condemnation abut the hip hop industry, which is saturated with songs sexualizing, objectifying and debasing women.
    Biblical values (God's Ten Commandments) like hard work, personal accountability, parental responsibility, self-sacrifice, respect for the elderly, honesty and integrity have shoved aside./ In fact some of  these virtues are actually labeled as "micro-aggressive" "code words" guessed it, racism. (# 2 and 3 of the above from The Philadelphia Trumpet, Jan. 2017 - "Can He Make America Great Again.")
 
    4. An election victory on Nov. 8, 2016 by Hillary Clinton would have caused a deep sorrow and sadness among all pro-life, pro-marriage and family Christians in America. We would be whining privately and publicly like the Hillary supporters are doing today.  President Barack Obama said, "We are not a Christian Country." The secular culture of death had control of all the levels of our society. The mainstream media and 53 of 56 newspapers throughout the country backed Hillary Clinton. President Clinton would continue with the evil transformation of our society. Her election would prove it. The American Christian community in America prayed very much that this would not happen. Why did God listen to our prayers and give Traditional America a reprieve?         Merry Christmas,

George H. Kubeck
