THE BIG CON – 3
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2009
Special Report by Anne Hendershott continued
(Error in The Big Con -2: Catholics for the Common Good should be “Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good.” Catholics for the Common Good is a very worthy and legitimate Catholic Organization which shared leadership in the battle for Proposition 8; whereas “Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good “ is the phony “Catholic” organization.) We continue verbatim from the article.
In contrast, Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good emerged in 2005 as a kind of sister organization to Catholics United. A 501c(3) organization, donors can claim a deduction against personal income tax when they donate money to Catholics in Alliance. But, unlike Catholic United, Catholics in Alliance is restricted to how much political and legislative lobbying activities they may conduct.
(The next two paragraphs deal with a review of 2007 IRS 990 forms for Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good and for Catholics United and payment of $84,821. to Chris Korzen. In 2007 Catholics in Alliance reported a total of $1,129,338 income from gifts, grants and contribution…)
SOROS, AN EARLY DONOR:
Despite their inability to engage in extensive lobbying, Catholic in Alliance has been extremely successful in attracting large donors. In fact, Catholics in Alliance has enjoyed the financial support of some of the biggest in progressive causes. Never a friend of the Catholic Church , George Soros, one of the earliest donors, contributed $50,000 to Catholics in Alliance in 2005 and another $100,000 in 2006, through his Open Society, Likewise Smith Bagley, a major Democratic donor and fundraiser, whose wife Elizabeth Frawley Bagley, is Chairman of the board of Catholics in Alliance, came close to matching Soros with grants from his family’s Arca Foundation.
With a long history of supporting progressive organizations like ACORN, the Gamaliel Foundation, People for the American Way, and Planned Parenthood, Arca contributed $50,000. to Catholics in Alliance in 2007 & another $75,000 in 08.
It is clear that for the Democrats, this has been money well spent… Catholics in Alliance has enjoyed tremendous success in neutralizing abortion a campaign issue… Catholics in Alliance has enjoyed tremendous success in neutralizing abortion as campaign issue. The did this by persuading voters that progressive policies would reduce abortions.
Supporting a study by Professors Michael Bailey of Georgetown University and Joseph Wright of Notre Dame that claimed that increasing economic assistance to low income families results in substantial reductions to abortion rates, Catholics in Alliance spent months declaring that the data demonstrate that progressive policies on income distribution – rather than abortion restrictions – reduce abortion.
Unfortunately for voters, while Catholics in Alliance touted the abortion reduction report as a reason that Catholic voters could vote in good conscience for a pro-choice candidate, the study was quietly removed from the Catholics in Alliance website in November 2008 when its faulty methology and erroneous conclusions were pointed out by several social scientist.
Professor Bailey, the first author of the initial study, removed his name from the revised report. Joseph Wright remains as the sole author - and is listed as Chairman of the board of Catholics United on the Form 990 EZ submitted by the organization in 2007…

The Legacy of Senator Edward Kennedy - 4
The Legacy of Senator Edward Kennedy – 4
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Tuesday, September 8, 2009
Let’s start with the rape of marriage in Massachusetts about two years. I can’t forget it. The Knights of Columbus and other organizations had with the big help of evangelical Christians a ballot measure which was similar to our proposition 8 in California. (Marriage is between a man and a woman.)
It was scheduled to be on the ballot in Massachusetts for the 2008 election. Well CINOP Nancy Pelosi came to this Democrat Party controlled State and through diabolical hardball politics succeeded and stopped it from being on the ballot. Why? It was because it would hurt the Democratic candidate for President in 2008. PELOSI SUCCEEDED IN ENFORCING SAN FRANCISCO VALUES.
All of this was accomplished through bribes a.k.a., campaign contributions by the opponents to this ballot measure. The legislators were bought off AND VOTED NOT TO PUT IT ON THE BALLOT. (There is a lot more serious stuff but you will have to check it out yourself.) WHAT’S THE BOTTOM LINE? SENATOR TED KENNEDY WAS SILENT. I remember calling the office of Loretta Sanchez and asking that she come out publicly in support of Proposition 8 the Marriage Amendment in California BEFORE THE ELECTION, and she was also silent.
I know that Cardinal O’Malley tried to do his best to have this marriage initiative on the ballot but he failed. WELL, HIS TOP PRIORITY TODAY IS TO WORK WITH CATHOLICS AND ESPECIALLY OTHER CHRISTIANS IN MASSACHUSETTS TO GET THAT MEASURE ON THE BALLOT; EVEN IF IT TAKES 10 YEARS. THE SAME- MARRIAGE LAWS IN MASSACHUSETTS ARE UNACCEPTABLE NATIONALLY AND ANATHEMA TO CHURCH AND COUNTRY.
Let’s continue with Bet-Noire and some of his atrocious and stupid votes when Ted Kennedy was in the Senate. In the Congress, Kennedy voted against the Catholic position in the following votes:
1.)Harkin Amendment to endorse Roe v. Wade (108th) No voted Yes
2.)Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 (108th) Yes voted No
3.)Abortion in military medical facilities (108th) No voted Yes
4.)Feinstein Substitute Amendment (single-victim substitute) (108th) N vote Y
5.)Unborn Victims of Violence Act: passage (108th) Yes voted No
6.)Child Custody Protection Act (S.403): passage (109th) Yes voted No
7.)Funding of embryo-killing stem cell research (H. R. 810) (109th) No vote Y
8.)Federal Marriage Amendment Act (109th) Yes voted No
The above info: Scorecard of Catholics in Congress, CATHOLIC ADVOCATE – A Project of Morley Institute for Church and Culture.
Lastly, Senator Kennedy and his cabal in California have a mindset that supported the following: “California State Senate Passes Transsexual-Bisexual-Homosexual Curriculum Bill SB 777… Sacramento, May 24 /Newswire/ …
Radical legislation mandating that schoolchildren as young as kindergarten learn about and support transsexuality, bisexuality and homosexual has passed the California State Senate…
…SB 777 requires textbooks, instructional materials, and school-sponsored activities to positively portray cross-dressing, sex-change operations, homosexual “marriages,” and all aspects of homosexuality and bisexuality, including so-called “gay history.”… SB 777 also deletes the true definition of “sex” from the Education Code…

Far from being non-partisan during the 2008 presidential campaign, most of his (Korzen) published pieces were critical of Republican candidate John McCain. With incendiary titles like “John McCain: Just How Pro-Life?” and “McCain Embraces Pastor Who Called Catholicism a Cult,” Korzen made no secret of his political leanings.
Like Salt, Korzen has been a strong supporter of Kathleen Sebelius and organized support for her nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services by garnering signatures in an online petition entitled “Catholics for Sebelius.”
Experts in “messaging,” Catholics United and Catholics for the Common
Good have achieved tremendous success in convincing Catholic voters to focus on “social justice” issues like poverty as the way to reduce abortion rates without restricting abortion rights. Refusing to hold politicians like President Obama and Kathleen Sebelius accountable for their votes in favor of partial birth abortions and taxpayer funded abortion here and abroad, and against parental notification requirements, these progressive organizations maintain a consistent message of the “common good,” which they identify with electing Democrats.
Rather than focusing on the “divisive” issues surrounding abortion (like abortion restrictions), Catholics, they say, should elect candidates who would address the “root causes” of abortion. These groups worked to popularize the notion among Catholics that if poverty were alleviated through increased welfare spending and income distribution rates would naturally decline without restricting access to abortion.
The Catholic United website reveals that the organization began its advocacy work in the spring of 2004, when “a group of Catholic activists and friends formed the Catholic Voting Project to promote US Catholic bishops’ 2003 document Faithful Citizenship: A Catholic Call to Political Responsibility.” Claiming that the mission of the Catholic Voting Project was to encourage a public dialogue about faith and politics that went beyond the tired rhetoric of partisan interests by allowing Catholics to learn how their political views matched those of the US Catholic bishops and the two major presidential candidates,” the Voting Project was criticized by orthodox Catholics like Karl Keating as a “front” for Senator Kerry.
After Kerry’s 2004 defeat and loss of the Catholic vote, the members of the Catholic Voting Project decided to improve its message by disbanding and re-incorporating as Catholics United.
On its website, Catholic United describes itself as a 501c(4) non-profit organizations – eligible to accept donations. But because it is a 501c(4) entity and thus able to engage in lobbying efforts, donations cannot be claimed against income tax. From a fundraising point of view it is difficult to raise money for a 50lc(4) group because individual donors cannot deduct the contributions from their taxable income. But Catholics United is free to spend as much money as they have available to lobby on legislation – doing the “edgy” work that Chris Korzen describes…

The Legacy of Senator Edward Kennedy - 3
The Legacy of Senator Edward Kennedy – 3
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – LABOR DAY- Mon. Sept 7, 2009
Ref. ‘The Big Con’ and ‘The Straw that Broke the Camel’s back’
IN THE NAME OF BISHOP FULTON SHEEN AND ALEXANDER HAMILTON:
It will take a little time to digest all the commentaries on the funeral of Senator Ted Kennedy. What was the Catholic influence in America by Catholic-in-name-only (CINO) politicians during these past 40 years? Over all it was nothing but a lot of scandal, dissent and political stupidity. Their influence was not Catholic but promoters of the Culture of Death. Pope John Paul II coined that term. You are aware that we have several Pope J.P. type of bishops in America.
I apologize to the many Christian Protestant pro-life congregations for what they saw at the funeral of Senator Ted Kennedy. You have lefties and dissenters in your congregation. The Catholic Church in America has them also. Most of them are duped. In some parts of the country they have a stranglehold. Thank you for your enormous patience in not criticizing publicly the Catholic Church leaders.
Let us work together and look upon the funeral of this man Senator Ted Kennedy as the nail in the coffin of the CINO politicians in America. We must work together to educate; and Catholics to do missionary work, and pray that not one of them will vote for these scoundrels in any part of America. In Orange County, let’s focus like a laser beam on the defeat of Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez.
I would like to share with you a few stupid historical positions of the late Senator. Do you remember President Clinton signed the Welfare Reform Bill?
It turned out to be a tremendous success. Senator Kennedy was opposed to the bill and fought it. This bill helped the poor and taught them how to fish and to be on their own. Even at that time President Obama fought the bill and then saw his error. (In fact the U.S. Catholic Church made a mistake in opposing this bill.) Kennedy was a partisan not for the common good of the poor and unemployed; he was already a lefty progressive Democrat and opposed the bill because it was forced upon President Clinton by the Republicans. (Those are the evil politicians.)
Remember the Nicaraguan Civil War! Whose side were the CINO politicians supporting? They were on the side of the Sandinistas, the communist liberation theology party. Remember President Reagan had a heck of a time insuring the victory of the Contras. When finally, there was a vote in Nicaragua the Sandinistas lost. Pope John Paul II tried to explain that liberation theology is a non-Catholic measure for change in the Americas. But we have those very smart theologians who disagreed with the Pope. A good example of Black Liberation Theology is the Church of Jeremiah Wright. Sadly, our President was brainwashed for 20 years.
Lastly, the Senator promoted multiculturalism. From Human Events: “Multiculturalism” Means Left-Wing Indoctrination: … The push for multiculturalism has precious little to do with learning about other people’s cultures. What is involved, instead, is a determined effort to inculcate a particular outlook on America’s domestic politics… The recurring theme is that the United States is repressive, racist, sexist, homophobic, and otherwise malignant place. This message be it noted, has nothing to do with ‘other cultures.’
George H. Kubeck, Take back America! Vote out the CINO Politicians!

Misleading “Catholic” organizations such as Catholics United and Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good operated as an arm for pro-abortion Democrats in 2008 and now enjoy an important role in the Obama administration.
Self-described “progressive” Catholic organizations, such as Catholic in Alliance for the Common Good, Catholics United, Catholic Democrats, and Voice of the Faithful, have successfully manipulated long-standing divisions among Catholics. In 2008, President Obama with the help of misleading propaganda from these groups won a majority of the Catholic vote.
Now these organizations are playing an important role in his administration. Witness the appointment of Alexia Kelley, the co-founder and director of Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good.
Kelley has been appointed to direct the federal Health and Human Services Department’s Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. For almost a decade, Kelley worked for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops on the Campaign for Human Development, a grant-making program that has been criticized for actively working against the Church’s mission, as evident in the program support for pro-abortion activities and politicians.
During the years that Kelley worked for the Campaign for Human Development, more than seven million dollars were awarded to ACORN (Association of Community Organization for Reform Now). Now under criminal investigation in several states, ACORN’s voter registration work helped to elect President Obama.
Kelley teamed with Catholic United’s leaders James Salt and Chris Korzen, in the 2008 campaign to neutralize the abortion issue by casting it in pro-Democratic Party terms. Salt and Korzen have plenty of political experience … Salt’s political work has involved overseeing the Kansas Democratic Party’s dubious “faith outreach” efforts, including what he calls “messaging work” for the pro-abortion Kathleen Sebelius & the development of “faith-based messaging resources.” “EDGY WORK” – On its website, Catholics United describes itself as ”non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting the message of justice and the common good found at the heart of the Catholic Social Tradition.”
But in a September 12, 2008 radio interview heard at soundsauthors.com, Korzen disclosed that at Catholics United “we do a little bit more edgy work … we can do lobbying and political work unlike your traditional non-profits.”
Prior to helping to found Catholics United, Korzen served as co-founder and director of the Catholic Voting Project in 2004, after working as an organizer with the Service Employees International Union. He is a frequent contributor to the left-wing website The Huffington Post, where he often publishes pieces in support of the Democratic Party…

Report on Obama Health Care Rally - Sept. 1, 2009
Report on Obama Health Care Rally- Sept. 1, 2009
Memorial: Gregory the Great, Pope and Doctor - Thursday, September 3, 2009
From the USCCB document – “Catholics in Political Life”
‘The Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions.’
I believe that all pro-life, pro-family and pro-marriage persons should participate at Town Hall Meetings; Tea Parties and Rallies about Health Care etc. to proclaim the truth and in the spirit of Our Founding Fathers. Also, “Preaching the gospel simply entails communicating the truth and love of Jesus to others.”
“Report”
Location: Corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Main Street, Huntington Beach, Tues. September 1, 2009 – 5:30 to 7:30 P.M. I was there from 5 to 6:30 P.M.
Come to the next meeting: Saturday, Sept. 5, 3:00 – 5:00 P.M – Same Location -
Parking on PCH is 25 cents for 10 minutes or side streets may be free.
There were about 40 plus participants who mistakenly support the Obama Care which includes mandated abortion coverage. They deny that there is abortion coverage. I talked to two persons who said that they are members of no church. Another person was very much for coverage of abortion. It was a friendly conversation. Although one said, “Are you a Nazi?” The best answer would be, “Are you an American or a Communist?” Some types have a deep contempt for the opposition who have a religious persuasion. They need conversion.
Some of the signs were provided by the organizers of the event. Here are two of the signs: “Support Health Care for All,” and “Public Health Option Helps Small Business.” What this administration will likely do is undercut Insurance Companies via government regulations; and then No Surprise! We have only a Government Socialist Health Program like in Canada and Europe. No to Socialism.
I have a bias. I do not trust the President. He wants total control of our lives and starts off with Health Care and his supporters use the code word: public option - Support a Public Option. What it really is: Support a Government Option! We have government option with the Post Office which is 7 Billion dollars deficit and Amtrak which is 2 billion dollars deficit. We have billions of dollars of fraud in Medicare and other Government programs. Clean Up and that!
Why Not Tort Reform? Some doctors have to pay $200,000 yearly in insurance. There is a Free Enterprise Solution and Not a Government Solution which is bankrupting our country with deficits and taking away our Freedoms.
I may have been the only one in opposition. BUT IT WAS A FUN EXPERIENCE. During the light break, pedestrian crossing the street, Obama lady would cross the street with her sign “Support Public Option for Health Care” and I would cross over with my sign for the parked cars waiting for the light to change.
My sign: NO! NO! NO! Deficit Spending! Big Government! Abortion- Mandated Health! Make your signs to the point and a little smaller. Watch out for misspelled words. At the Congressman’s Royce Town Hall meeting which was outstanding I misspelled “Voices of Our Founding Fathers,” with Voiceses.
Hope to see you for an hour or two. Come earlier. (It would be wonderful if we had Bishop Fulton Sheen & Founding Father Alexander Hamilton alive today!)

Why Not Tort Reform? Some doctors have to pay $200,000 yearly in insurance. There is a Free Enterprise Solution and Not a Government Solution which is bankrupting our country with deficits and taking away our Freedoms.
I may have been the only one in opposition. BUT IT WAS A FUN EXPERIENCE. During the light break, pedestrian crossing the street, Obama lady would cross the street with her sign “Support Public Option for Health Care” and I would cross over with my sign for the parked cars waiting for the light to change.
My sign: NO! NO! NO! Deficit Spending! Big Government! Abortion- Mandated Health! Make your signs to the point and a little smaller. Watch out for misspelled words. At the Congressman’s Royce Town Hall meeting which was outstanding I misspelled “Voices of Our Founding Fathers,” with Voiceses.
Hope to see you for an hour or two. Come earlier. (It would be wonderful if we had Bishop Fulton Sheen & Founding Father Alexander Hamilton alive today!)

The Straw that Broke the Camel's Back
The Straw that Broke the Camel’s Back
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Wednesday, September 2, 2009
Dissent politicized. Dissent dispatched. God will judge this camel in heaven. On earth we vote him out of office. It is the simplest solution. The camel is the Catholic-in-name-only politician. Kennedy’s funeral broke the camel’s back.
What’s the problem? Well on earth we have a kind of syndicate (Mafia) within the Catholic Church. They are the friends of CINO politicians. “The Catholic World Report” has accurate information on them, The Big Con.
In parts of the U.S.A. the Kennedy name is like a “Sacred Cow.” Handle with care. Just think of his sister Eunice who deserved the kind of Funeral Mass that the deceased Ted Kennedy received. There was something not Catholic for the deceased Ted Kennedy. You don’t do that with the Eucharist!
Pope Benedict XVI came out with “Charity in Truth.” (Caritas in Veritate). In the past the pope warned us of moral relativism. What the Catholic clergy did on Saturday, Aug. 29th was offer a Mass for the dead that was Catholic, religiously- correct with moral relativism. Ted was a giant on the prudential issues. But his support for the absolute evils of abortion, same-sex marriage and embryonic stem-cell research were completely ignored. Ted Kennedy did not fight for the rights of the unborn, the right to life and the right to natural death.
All bishops need to review that Mass and realize that you can’t fool practicing Catholics and other Christians. You couldn’t even fool non-Catholics like former President George Bush. He seemed to be squirming with all of this Ted adoration in the eulogy. What’s going on here? His brother is Catholic. Even with his decision on the war in Iraq, Bush was the most Catholic president we have ever had. Some democratic staff members at the USCCB think otherwise.
Senator Tom Coburn (R-Ok) proposed an amendment to the budget bill that would keep the conscience clause in place and give health care workers including doctors’ protection from having to perform professional duties that violate their religious freedom, like abortions.
Unbelievable, 16 Catholic Senators rejected this amendment. All of them were Democrats except one. Now my dear bishops what kind of a funeral Mass will they have if one of them should die tomorrow? In fact get over this sick attachment to the Democratic Party. I’m convinced that if the 16 Senators were Republicans, many bishops would have had a very loud outcry. California bishops, you don’t have to wait for unanimity on this very, very serious matter!
At the Arlington Cemetery when the ceremony at the grave was still in progress, there was darkness and one couldn’t see what was going on. But there was lightning in the distance. The Holy Spirit is sending messages.
The CINOP is anathema to the Church and to the country. Common sense persuades you to register as an independent voter! Vote each CINOP out in 2010! What would Bishop Pope John Paul II do? Take heed of St. John Chrysostom’s warning that the walls of hell are lined with the skulls of bishops.
