Adventures at the Polls: Sprinkling Holy Water and Engaging Democrats

Would have been fun to use one of these,
but my fingers worked pretty well. 

I just returned from voting where I decided to get into it a little with the Democrats. I'm always hopeful that some of them aren't really committed to their evil platform.

Sad to say, I'm usually disappointed to find that they are, in fact, committed to evil and have a dishonest playbook where they pull their scripted answers and talking points.

There were two ladies manning the Democrats' table. One was chubby, 40-ish, super short hair with pink streaks, and an aggressive attitude. The other was older, slim, and gray-haired, not quite so aggressive. No one yelled we spoke cordially although I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone. I smiled throughout the exchange. Pink Streak did too. Gray Hair was more serious.

Remember the Babies: Vote Pro-Life Tomorrow

By Alice Doyle

Many people do not know this about me but when I was about 11, my mom went to jail for the first time for trying to save babies by blocking access to an abortion clinic. She later became involved in Operation Rescue and she and my Grandma nearly missed my graduation from UVA after being arrested and jailed for three weeks on a trespassing charge in New York. 

Growing up, my parents hosted over a dozen unwed mothers. Many people refer to unborn babies as "the product of conception" "the fetus" or "clumps of tissue" but every one of those young women delivered a baby and, for the most part, gave that baby to another family to raise. As a young girl, I was deeply impressed by their courage and sacrifice.

Thought for Election Eve: Vote for Life, Faith, and Family

"God [is] the Chief Actor, Who subjects nations to judgment according to their obedience or disobedience to the moral law."    Fulton Sheen

Will you vote according to the standards of the world or will you look to the things of God to guide your vote? Priests for Life has a booklet called Voting with a Clear Conscience. Have a well-formed conscience on your duty to vote and the best way to carry it out. Fr. Pavone's advice is good and conforms to Church teaching. There are fundamental issues that must take precedence over others. Protecting human life from its very beginning is such an issue. If the right to life is not protected other lesser rights are meaningless. The right to food, decent housing, a job, etc. all depend on the first and fundamental right - the right to life. Those candidates like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barney Frank, Barbara Boxer, etc. who are champions of child killing should be disqualified from consideration by every believing Catholic. Just as you would not vote for a member of the KKK, you must not vote for those who believe in killing babies.

Vote Pro-Life on Tuesday, November 2!

I am the Catholic vote! And I WILL use my vote to defend the helpless.

Vote your faith. And remember these words of St. Teresa of Avila:

Christ has no body now on earth but yours,
no hands but yours,
no feet but yours,
yours are the eyes through which Christ's compassion is to look out to the earth,
yours are the feet by which He is to go about doing good
and yours are the hands by which He is to bless us now.

St Teresa of Avila

Don't Forget to Vote!

Go to the polls and vote.

Vote Pro-life.

Vote for Constitutional Conservatives.

Don't vote for the lesser of two evils because he (or she) is still evil and the evil you don't know may turn out to be more evil than the evil you know.

Never vote party just for party's sake. The Democrats are principled, but most of their principles are evil. They sure stick by them though. The Republicans have principles on paper, but never let their priniciples interfere with what happens to be expedient. Support candidates who stand for life, traditional marriage, fiscal restraint, and limited government. If they don't stand for conservatism don't support them. Better to turn in a blank ballot or write in your own name.

You don't "waste your vote" by supporting a third party candidate. You waste your vote when you let them convince you that lukewarm liberal light is better than full-bodied liberal. It's a lie. When liberal expose their evil, they generate resistance. Would we really be better off if liberal John McCain had won? Would he have invigorated conservatism the way the Obama Marxists have?

Pray like everything depends on God and work like everything depends on you. It's the mark of the true Christian - Ora et Labora.

And remember during this All Souls month to pray for the intercession of the poor souls in purgatory. They have fought the good fight and won. Their sufferings are one of the strongest weapons in the arsenal of the Church Militant along with the rosary and the Holy Eucharist. Put on the armor of God and fight!
