A few days back, Louse Speaker Pelosi “urged Catholic leaders to ‘instruct’ their parishioners to support immigration reforms.” (“Pelosi Urges Catholic Church to Play ‘Major Role in Immigration Overhaul” Fox News dot com) To quote Dana Carvey’s Church Lady, “Well isn’t that special.”

The horrific harridan continued, “the people, some (who) oppose immigration reform, are sitting in those pews and you have to tell them that this is a manifestation of our living the gospels.” Later, a “Pelosi spokesman” issued this statement, “from health care to energy security to immigration reform, the speaker believes the faith community has played and will continue to play a critical role in our national debate.” “Energy Security”? That is as vapid as “Climate Change.”

I have a few questions for the “speaker,” why have you and your liberal contemporaries had such a problem with “the faith communities critical role” in your abortion obsession? For that matter, please explain how your infanticide matches up with this “manifestation of our living the gospels” tripe.

News shows across America showed clips of American Idol star Adam Lambert’s overt sexual behavior at the recent American Music Awards. Almost all the clips were preceded with advisories and warnings. When discussed it was a single comment made on the Fox News outlet that beat all.

When questioned by news commentator Bill O’Reilly on the Factor Nov 24, 2009 about the propriety of the act, Lis Wiehl said that she thought it was all OK as long as it was done between the hours of 10:pm and 6:am. She explained that this was the time for anything that was indecent or profane on public television. She made the distinction that it should not be allowed during that time if it was deemed “obscene.”

If you are convinced that no underage children are awake and watching TV after 10:pm and that the rest of America has the savvy to weigh the semantic differences between “indecent” and “obscene” then all that’s left is to ask is, does it have any morally redemptive quality for the rest of us?

Estimates are that about 9,500 people die per day in America. That means thousands of special services are carried on daily to honor the departed and ponder our own mortality. When celebrities or iconic figures die we are moved on a national scale to weigh our own brief stay on the planet. But what do we actually ponder and what questions does the death of icons provoke?

Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon are reported to be Catholic while Michael Jackson was a Jehovah’s Witness and Walter Cronkite was an Episcopalian. Some who belong to these religions may feel assured that because of their respective religious affiliations all is well with each of them.
