Thought provoking message

Rugged individualism, a cherished value in American society, can cloud our vision, causing us to forget that leaders ultimately serve others.
-Delorese Ambrose

I really like this quote. I feel like our future President may actually understand the pitfalls of rugged individualism.

A priest in South Carolina has told his parishioners that they should not take communion if they voted for Barack Obama unless they confess their sin of cooperating with "intrinsic evil". No joke. The evil of which the good father speaks is abortion. Barack Obama is pro-choice and is, therefore, evil.

Although one might be tempted to dismiss this self-aggrandizing proclamation as typical wingnuttiness, the problem is this type of hateful speech promotes violence. The priest calls abortion an "abomination that cries out to Heaven for vengeance". Some weak-minded crackpot is devising his plans for holy war as we speak.
