That’s what I call going backwards.

Please, people. Groups like Catholics for Choice and their counterparts on the extreme right can only thrive by attacking others. Most people of faith are more than tired of the culture wars, which only serve to create pain and division that hinder our ability to work together for the common good. I applaud people like Alexia Kelley and President Obama as they attempt to move us beyond the wars and bridge the gaps. Now, THAT is progress!

I have read so little about this appointment, if you news/google it only 32 articles come up. If Obama went shirtless you would have thousands of articles.
What would you Obama defenders have said if Bush had appointed Ms. Kelly? I think I know.
Glad I voted Nader.

Even the lunatic fringe deserves some representation. There are about three times as many people who favor socialism over capitalism in America than there are people who oppose contraception. Obama so far hasn’t found a single one to appoint, however.

I think its time to throw the less than 10% of Americans who oppose contraception under the bus. Their views are so fringe they have no relevance to modern society. There are more Dungeons and Dragons players than people who oppose contraception.

What’s the big deal? Obama has appointed so many “Catholics” who are pro-choice, so what if he appoints one who is pro-life! The scales aren’t even close to being equal. Jon O’Brien, of Catholics for Choice and Frances Kissling of Salon need to quit whining.

Uhhh…. Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good is not an “anti-abortion group.” It’s a group of Catholics. Some are anti-abortion, some are even pro-choice.
A little bit o’ googlin’ would help here.

So Sammy,
A baby in the final month has ZERO rights in your world? Does the detainee at GITMO have more rights than the near birth baby as the doctor prepares to kill it?
Personally, I am all for putting side by side videos up of the water boarding with late term abortions and allowing people to see both and decide what is morally incorrect!

Why hasn’t the Faith-based office been shut down? I don’t want my tax dollars going to ANY of these religionists that pervert our system of government with fairytale stories.
No money for religious indoctrination!
