A Reminder

Our President is a powerful speaker and has most of the country in the palm of his hand. But words and change should not be lightly accepted without some basic premises to keep in mind.

Let me remind you once again of the "five non-negotiables." As you know, the majority of American Catholics have traditionally voted for political candidates who take the WRONG positions on the key moral issues of our day:1. Abortion2. Euthanasia3. Embryonic Stem Cell Research4. Human Cloning

5. Homosexual "Marriage" Why?Why do Catholics vote for the very things they're bound in conscience to oppose?The answer is simple . . . They aren't really aware of what they're doing!And the #1 reason for that is the bias, misinformation, and lack of information that comes from the mainstream news media.

Think about it . . .* When was the last time the news media showed the truth about abortion? They never show the American people what abortion does to babies. They'll show graphic pictures of all kinds of other violence, but they never show the truth about abortion.* When Terri Schiavo was being put to death by starvation and dehydration, the news media went out of their way to convince the American people that she "deserved" to die because she was a "vegetable." The majority of American people were thus in favor of Terri suffering a horrible death-even while her family wanted to take care of her.

* When stem cell research comes up, the news media never tell people about adult stem cells-and the tremendous progress being made with them. The media want the American people to think that we have to kill innocent human life in order to reap the benefits of science.

* When the topic turns to human cloning, the same thing is true. The news media never address the issue of the morality involved in creating cloned human life-and where our society will end up if we try to play God.

* And woe to you if you say one word against homosexuals wanting to get "married." The news media immediately brand you as a "homophobe" and "extremist"-but they never explain the arguments against homosexual "marriage." They act as if it's a foregone conclusion that men should be allowed to marry men, and women should be allowed to marry women, and transgender people should be allowed to marry . . . who knows what.

Well, the five non-negotiables (as it turns out) are among the key moral issues in our day. True to form, the mainstream news media did their best to obscure these issues in the minds of the American people.What's more, the media aren't telling us exactly where our political leaders stand on the five non-negotiables.As a result, many Catholics are still confused, bewildered, and befuddled when these issues are proposed as laws.History shows us that most of the bad candidates who have been elected never would have gotten into office were it not for the Catholic vote. Besides abortion, there undoubtedly will be other key moral issues that will come up for review by the Supreme Court in the coming years: euthanasia, human cloning, embryonic stem cell research, and homosexual "marriage." . As you know, many candidates outspokenly support abortion, embryonic stem cell research, euthanasia, human cloning, and homosexual "marriage."Sadly, this is true even for many of the Catholic politicians, including Joe Biden, Wesley Clark, Christopher Dodd, Rudy Giuliani, Dennis Kucinich, and Bill Richardson, Nancy Pelosi…..Keep an eye on legislation regarding these basic life issues and don’t be fooled by words which obscure the truth.
