BARNEY FRANK ???

Barney Frank has been hit hard concerning his role with Fannie Mae and his original support of lowering mortgage requirements which aided the present economic crisis.He has defended his actions and blamed everyone except himself.The truth from here is that he had a lot of support but he was not an innocent bystander.

He has decided to discuss another issue,namely,He told a gay organization that it is not a good time to litigate the "gay marriage" issue before the United States Supreme Court,because one of the Justices' is homophobic and has support on the Court.

Is this a "defense of diversion" ?  Remember....  The person who controls the agenda has the best chance to control the argument..........

ACTION GREATER THAN WORDS ?

If the Catholic Church defines abortion as the death of innocent children,how is it that The University of the Notre Dame a Catholic University is going to

 bestow an Honorary Degree to President Obama who in his short Presidency has passed regulations making it easier to receive federal money for abortions and stem cell research.

Is the prestige of the University more important than standing firm on the principle that the innocent should be defended ?

CONDOMS.......AIDS

Pope Benedict in Africa had this to say "AIDS cannot be overcome by the distribution of condoms".Bonnie Erbe of Scripps News called the Pope's statement "a horrifically ignorant statement"....Is she right ? Young girls are sold and/or "betrothed to older men who have had many lovers.These men will not wear condoms for the most part.Will the distribution of condoms or anti viral foam to the girls solve the problem of AIDS ?

Is the Pope's opinion that the source of the ravages of AIDS must be eradicated by a change of the "human heart" and a spiritual awakening to respect for all of human life  really ignorant? Or should the world just try to treat the problem with condoms in these AIDS infested Countries ?

How is it working out so far ?

OK! BACK TO POLITICAL JUDGING....WHAT IS GOING ON ?

I did not vote for the President of the United States or the Governor of Massachusetts so don't blame me,and further to the critics of my voting decisions I am not racist.I did not go to Harvard,however, I cannot buy into the direction they are both going politically.

      President Obama gets his spending bill then states yesterday that things may not be as bad as he originally thought and then turns his attention to a radio talk host.Karl Rove in his blog this morning gives you his reasons for this in detail.

       Governor Patrick while traveling with his security detail appoints a long time supporter to a goverment position that has been empty for 12 years at the rate of $ 175,000 annually.This is a person who has been looking for a job awhile.I guess her husband's judge salary is not suitable.It appears that the the gas tax is going up maybe the tolls won't and then again the State Tax that we could have eliminated last year could go to 5.4%

       The new revenue appears earmarked for the State for the most part while Cities and Towns in the Commonwealth are left to take care of themselves,and forced to layoff teachers,custodians,police,and fire.WHAT ABOUT THE STATE BEACON HILL ?

JUDGING...........HAVE YOU MADE A MISTAKE ?

A loving and close family was rocked today by a mistake.PSALM 82 in summary speaks of the following;   Stop judging and you will not be judged.Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.Forgive and you will be forgiven. Lk 6:37                                                                                 One of the ways in which we carry out the age-old human temptation to "become like gods" is to appoint ourselves judges of the universe and all that is in it,including ourselves and others.Yet our judgements are inevitably flawed by selfishness.It is better to leave all judging in God's hands   MAGNIFICAT       3/9/2009

POLITICAL THOUGHT

How has the "Big Dig"worked for the average Massachusetts resident ? Are the "shovel ready" projects being readied due to the bailout plan of President Obama and the Democratic Congress going to bring any different results........JUST THINKING..........?
