I APOLOGIZE FOR THE UNCLEAR POSTINGS OF THE LAST SIX DAYS. GEORGE H.KUBECK

Obama's Remaking of America

Obama’s Remaking of America In pursuit of the truth- www.cinopsbegoneblogspot - St. Pius V, Mon., April 30/12 Excerpts from Patrick J. Buchanan’s article. I will focus on # 3. Anyone who believes America’s culture wars are behind her should have started out on Friday, March 2/12 by reading The Washington Times. The headlines on the three top stories on page one read: 1.) “California judges asked to say if they are gay.” 2.)“Tebow Bill’ for home-schoolers dies in Virginia Senate panel.” 3.) “Opt-out on birth control defeated in Senate.” 1.) The California judges story dealt with the lately passed Judicial Appointments Demographic Inclusion Act, which mandates a survey of all of the 1,600 judges - to find out how many are homosexual. Purpose of the law: “Promote and increase the representation of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in the … judicial branch… Forty percent of the judges balked, refusing to reveal their sexual orientation. One percent said they were gay. One percent said they were lesbian. One judge identified himself as transgender. “Welcome to 21st -century America.” Under the old American ideal, the lawyers who proved the most qualified by wisdom and experience were to be elevated to the bench. The new ideal is that California’s judiciary should mirror the diversity of the state… Were an Olympic team or a symphony orchestra to be chosen on the basis of this kind of diversity, they would be a joke. 2.) The “Tebow Bill,” named for Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, who played high school football while being home schooled, was crafted to allow home-schooled Virginia kids to try out for the tennis, football, baseball, and basketball teams at their local high schools. The Virginia House approved the measure 59-39. But a Senate panel sank the Tebow on an 8-7 vote, denying 38,000 Virginia home-schoolers their last chance to play high school sports. Every Democrat on the panel voted as the Virginia Education Association dictated. 3.) The amendment of Sen. Roy Blunt (R. Mo.) would have assured Catholic institutions and Catholic employers of their freedom to opt out of providing out of providing health care insurance coverage for contraception, abortifacients, and sterilization for employees, if they have religious objections. [Defeated by 51-48] The position of the Catholic Church on this issue is neither new nor is it unknown. It was reaffirmed in 1968 in the famous encyclical Humanae Vitae of Pope Paul VI, artificial birth control is unnatural and immoral. This is high among the beliefs that differentiate Catholic teaching from other Christian faiths. Nor is it any secret. And any government that orders Catholic institutions and employers, against their religious beliefs … has crossed the line between church and state to trample upon the First Amendment religious freedom it was established to protect… The America of Barack Obama that is emerging appears to be a country where civil disobedience may yet become a duty of traditional Christians and devout Catholics… George H. Kubeck - There were about 13 Catholic-in-name-only Senators that voted to defeat the Blunt Amendment. It means that when we talk about the HHS Mandate, we have an elephant in the room which nobody want to think about. We must vote these 13 Obama Catholics out of office. Now in Calif. think about another 13 Obama CINOPS in Congress, Nancy Pelosi, Loretta Sanchez etc.

Dear Editors of Commonweal, and America Pursuit of truth - www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com -Good Shepherd Sunday, April 29/12 Reference “Partisan Dangers” July 17, 2012 - Commonweal - Also, Bishop Lori responds to the editorial of “America.” (Mar. 24th) and Envisioning Religious Liberty - (Mar. 11th) As a subscriber to your magazines in a time of crisis, all Catholic label persons should stick together. Even if you don’t practice the Catholic faith. Remember the Faith of your parents and great grandparents. They built the schools and hospitals. They believed in the Magisterium, the Pope, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Think out of the box. Set aside your bias against bishops. Follow the leadership of Timothy Cardinal Dolan. The Obama Health and Human Service Mandate (HHSM) is a clear violation of the 1st Amendment to the Constitution. If enforced, Catholics would become second-class citizens in America. I and others did not come to America to be second-class citizens. The Government has brought this issue to the forefront, not the U.S. Catholic Church. Note the bracketed sentences are from your editorial. “It urges Catholics to participate in a “Fortnight for Freedom” leading up to this year’s Fourth of July holiday, during which they are asked to study, pray, and take public action against what it describes as concentrated government efforts to deprive religious groups of their rights.” [You have a duty to inform your readers. Are they informed on why this is going on?] “Religious freedom “ought not to be a partisan issue,” the bishops declare. They are absolutely right.” [The Obama administration has made it a partisan issue.] “The bishops’ description of the various threats to religious conflates a number of disparate federal, state and judicial actions into an alleged unified and urgent peril. The argument is hyperbolic.” [Be fair now. It is not a an overstatement or exaggeration.] “It is not at all clear that the threat to religious liberty has suddenly become much greater.” [Where have you been January 2009 of the Obama administration?] “As religious objections to abortion and contemporary sexual mores have come to dictate Republican Party policy, many other Americans have reacted by becoming deeply suspicious of the role of religion in politics.” [Isn’t that what pro-life Democrats have tried to do within the Democratic Party? Have you supported or organized them? Why not?] “For their efforts to be effective, the bishops’ must be seen to be nonsectarian and independent of electoral politics. [That is hard to do when America has a two-faced, double-standard news media. You can help by being different and focusing on the truth.] “In their simplistic rhetoric, the bishops sound more like politicians than pastors.” [Timothy Cardinal Dolan is not using simplistic rhetoric. Have the backbone to support him. Please help the Church to strengthen pro-life and educate on true marriage. As Jesuits you have sworn an oath of loyalty to the Pope and to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Do not become an Obama Catholic. Support the true Catholic option for the poor. Remember the Social Justice programs of Bill Ayers and Sol Alinsky are diabolical.] George H. Kubeck

The Love Song of Saul Alinsky

The Love Song of Saul Alinsky The relentless pursuit of the truth - www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com - Saturday, Apr. 29/12 “In Memory of the Patriot Andrew Breitbart” http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/03/04/obama-alinsky-love-song Prior to his death, Andrew Breitbart said that the mission of the Breitbart empire was to exemplify the free and fearless press that our Constitution protects - but which, increasingly, the mainstream media denies us. … first and foremost: Andrew pledged to vet President Barack H. Obama… he wanted to show that the media had failed in its most basic duty: to uncover the truth, and hold those in power accountable, regardless of party. In 1998, a small Chicago theater company staged a play titled “The Love Song of Saul Alinsky, dedicated to the life and politics of the radical community organizer whose methods Obama had practiced and taught on Chicago’s South Side. So, what’s in the play? It truly is a love song to Alinsky. In the first few minutes of the play, Alinsky plays Moses - yes, the Biblical Moses - talking to God. The play glorifies Alinsky stealing food from restaurants and organizing others to do the same, explaining, “I saw it as a practical use of social ecology; you had members of the intellectual community, the hope of the future, eating regularly for six months, staying alive till they could make their contributions to society.” In an introspective moment, Alinsky rips America: “My country … ‘tis of Whitehall/ And justice up a tree … How much can you sell/What’s in it for me.: He grins about manipulating the Christian community to back his programs. He talks in glowing terms about engaging in Chicago Politics with former Mayor Kelly. He rips the McCarthy committee, mocking, “Everyone was there, when you think Back - Cotton Mather, Hester Prynn, Anne Hutchinson, Tom Paine, Tom Jefferson … Brandeis, Homes … Gene Debs and the socialists … Huey Long … Imperial Wizards of all stripes … Father Coughlin and his money machine … Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd … and a kicking chorus of sterilized reactionaries singing O Come, All Ye Faithful…” And Alinsky talks about being the first occupier - shutting down the O’Hare Airport by occupying all the toilet stalls, using chewing gum to “tie up the city, stop all traffic, and shopping, in the Loop, and let everyone at City Hall know attention must be paid, and maybe we should talk about it.” As Alinsky says, “Students of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your juicy fruit.” The play finishes with Alinsky announcing he’d rather go to Hell than Heaven. Why? “More comfortable there. You see all my life I’ve been with the Have-Nots: here you’re a Have-Not if you’re short of money, there you’re a Have-Not if you’re short of virtue. I’d be asking more questions, organizing them. They’re my kind of people- Hell would be Heaven to me.” That’s The Love Song of Saul Alinsky. It’s radical leftist stuff, and it revels in its radical leftism… This was also the period just before Barack Obama served with Bill Ayers, from 1999 through 2002 on the board of the Woods Foundation. They gave capital to support the Midwest Academy, a leftist training institute steeped in the doctrines of - you guessed it! - Saul Alinsky, and whose alumni now dominate the Obama administration & its top political allies in & out of Congress. George H. Kubeck - What more is there to say or think?

The President's Talent for Ly--- Convincingly

The President’s Talent for Ly--- Convincingly By the distinguished Black American Thomas Sowell, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford University, Washington Times National Weekly, April 9, 2012 The relentless pursuit of the truth - www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com - Friday, April 27, 2012 “One of the highly developed talents of President Barack Obama is the ability to say things that are demonstrably false, and make them sound not only plausible but inspiring. “That talent was displayed just last week when he was asked whether he thought the Supreme Court would uphold ObamaCare as constitutional or strike it down as unconstitutional. “He replied, “I am confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress.” … The Supreme Court has been doing precisely that for 209 years! Nor is it likely that Barack Obama has never heard of it. He has a degree from Harvard Law School and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago law school. “In what must be one of the most famous Supreme Court cases in history - Marbury v. Madison in 1803 -- Chief Justice John Marshall established the principle that the Supreme Court can declare acts of Congress null and void if these acts violate the Constitution. In short, he is simply lying. “Now there are different kinds of liars. If we must have lying Presidents of the United States, I prefer that that they be like Richard Nixon. You could just look at him and tell that he was lying. “But Obama is much smoother. On this and on many other issues, you would have to know what the facts are to know that he is lying. He is counting on the fact that, in this era of dumbed-down education, many people have no clue as to what the facts are. “He is also counting on something else - namely, that the pro-Obama media will not expose his lies. One of the many ways of lying is simply redefine words. Barack is a master of that as well. “In the comment on the case pending before the Supreme Court [in June - Obamacare], President Obama wanted to remind “conservative commentators” that have complained about “judicial activism” - which he redefines as the idea that “an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law.” “First of all, every law that the Supreme Court has overturned for the past 209 years since Marbury v. Madison was “a duly constituted and passed law.” Second, the “judicial activism that conservatives have complained about was judges making rulings based on how they felt personally about issue at hand, rather than what the U.S. Constitution said… It would be hard to become nostalgic about Richard Nixon, who was forced to resign in disgrace. But at least you could tell when he was lying. Obama’s lies are just as big but not that visible, & the media that exposed Nixon is covering up for Obama.” George H. Kubeck - P.S. We are going to suffer through a historic presidential election between a pied piper/emperor wore no clothes president and the stark reality president, Mitt Romney.

Obama's Freedom Deficit

Obama’s Freedom Deficit In pursuit of the truth - www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com - Thurs. April 26, 2012 Excerpts from “Obama’s Freedom Deficit” by O. Carter Snead in “First Things” - Mar./12 “In a time of economic crisis and human suffering, the administration has imposed barriers on faith-based institutions that feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick, and educate the young… It is not just the freedom of the religious that hangs in the balance, but the welfare of the needy and the strength of our civic fabric. “During the first years of the Obama administration, the federal government has dramatically turned against religious liberty, prompting Timothy Cardinal Dolan, archbishop of New York, to observe that “never before have we faced this kind of challenge in our ability to engage in the public square as a people of faith and as a service provider.” “The administration has ignored the concerns of religious (and nonreligious) citizens by conscripting taxpayer dollars to support organizations whose work involves the destruction of unborn human life and by electing obstacles to the charitable work of religious bodies. “In November 2009, President Barack Obama, and shortly there-after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, abandoned the phrase “freedom of religion” when discussing administration priorities in favor of “freedom of worship.”… “It began on his third day in office, President Obama restored funding to organizations overseas that provide abortions and moved to reinstate funding to the United Nations Population Fund, which supports China’s one-child policy, a program that involves coerced abortion. Three months after his inauguration, he authorized federal funding for stem-cell research that relies on and creates future incentives for the destruction of living embryos… “In July 2009, the administration’s Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) reversed its own conclusion and accused Belmont Abbey College, a Catholic liberal arts college, of violating federal employment laws against “gender discrimination” because it refused, on religious grounds, to pay for artificial birth control in its employee health plan. “The health-care reform bill that President Obama signed into law in March, 2010 lacked long-standing restrictions on abortion funding and failed to include sufficiently robust conscience protections for pro-life heath-care providers… “The Obama administration’s HHS altered the grant process for the National Human Trafficking Assistance Program to favor applicants who offer referrals to “family planning services” and abortions… “On January 20, 2012, (CINOP) Kathleen Sebelius issued a statement that the Obama administration would not modify its contraceptive mandate in response to the concerns raised by religious institutions. It would, however, allow religious entities an additional year to make arrangements for compliance. [A threat with arrogance:]… “As Baltimore William Cardinal Keeler once stated, “We don’t educate [poor students in the inner city of Baltimore] because they are Catholic. We educate them because we are Catholic.” The work of Catholic hospitals, social service agencies, and universities is a form of evangelization - of bearing witness to the love of Christ.”… [We can start today with the public witness for our FAITH beginning in October.] George H. Kubeck

Cardinal Timothy Dolan and the HHS Mandate

Cardinal Timothy Dolan and the HHS Mandate In pursuit of the truth - www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com - Wednesday, April 25, 2012 This is serious. You and I are preparing an informational talk on the above topic. We will need some background info on the mindset behind this mandate which compels religious people and institutions to purchase a health insurance contract that provides abortion inducing drugs like the day after pill, contraception and sterilization. You can understand: Why would U.S. Catholic Bishops call for two weeks of action against Obama’s Mandate. “A Fortnight of Freedom,” will run from June 21 to July 4? The mandate is an absolute violation of the 1st Amendment to the Constitution. The mindset doesn’t care and it’s like in your face fellow Americans. Let us seek the origin of this mindset. It does not matter whose President. It would have occurred under Hillary. Let’s find out more about the mandate with two historic examples: 1.) Addressed to the Regents of the University of California, the California Association of Scholars prepared a report called, “A Crisis of Competence: The Corrupting Effect of Political Activism in the University of California. Peter Berkowitz wrote about it in the Wall Street Journal on Mar.31st/Apr. l, 2012. His article is, “How California Colleges Indoctrinate Students.” www.nas.org/documents/A_Crisis_of_Competence.pdg. It seems that graduates of the UC system are ignorant of history and literature; unfamiliar with the principles of American constitutional government and bereft of skills to comprehend serious books and marshal evidence and argument in written work. They don’t study the history and institutions of the U.S.A., or Western civilization. They graduate in English without taking a course in Shakespeare. It’s like committing intellectual suicide. The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) are the enablers, protectors and even apologists for the politicized university and its degraded scholarly and educational standards. The following is unbelievable. The Critical Race Studies program at the UCLA School of law announced that its aim is to “transform racial justice advocacy.” Last year, the leadership of AAUP officially endorsed the Occupy Wall Street movement. All of this is a violation of the law, Article IX, Section 9, of the California state constitution, “The university shall be entirely independent of all political or sectarian influence and kept free of them.” The liberal progressive agenda’s mindset is the mandate. 2.) The year after Ronald Reagan entered the Oval Office (1982) with the goal of restoring America to greatness, Elena Kagan penned a telling and disturbing senior thesis titled “To the Final Conflict: Socialism in New York City, 1900-1933.” In that body of work, Kagan lamented that “a coherent socialist movement is nowhere to be found in the United States”, and that, “no “radical party” had yet “attained the status of a major political force.” Kagan went on to sound a rally cry for “those who, more than half a century after socialism’s decline, still wish to change America.” As Dean of Harvard Law, she removed Constitutional Law classes from the curriculum, and replaced them with studies of international law. Kagan also accepted a $20 million grant from a Saudi Prince Alwaleed, a noted Shariah Law proponent - to implement an “Islamic Studies” program. We have an Obama clone on the Supreme Court. George H. Kubeck - to be continued.
