Democratic Party: “Catholics Get Lost!”
Historically, the essence of being a Catholic meant following the doctrine, tradition and policies set forth by the Pope. In today’s Catholic World that statement is still true, but all too often someone’s personal interpretation of what they believe doctrine and tradition truly mean takes precedence.
During this general election cycle, an era of economic upheaval and troubling international situations, one very large group of people could miss a very important fact of life due to what appears to be a media that has made itself part of the election instead of being the reporter of political action. Due to this change in the media coverage, a very troubling issue has arisen and I believe has been hidden from the Catholic World in America. The hidden story is the Democratic Party saying to American Catholics, “Get Lost!”
Recent national polling has suggested that Catholics nationwide are split almost evenly between the Democratic Candidate Barack Obama and the Republican Candidate John McCain with a scant 8% undecided. I personally find those numbers astounding and I credit that large Democratic percentage to Catholics not understanding one major issue – that the national Democratic Party in America is totally Anti-Catholic. If the Catholic World in America understood the issue I seriously doubt that national polls would find an almost even split between the Democratic candidate and the Republican Candidate.
During the latest debate and during most interviews on national media outlets, one of the questions asked only of Republicans is, “Do you have a litmus test that you will apply to any candidate that you would nominate to the Supreme Court?” John McCain has danced around this issue, as have most Republican leaders, by saying he would search out for the best candidate, one that followed the doctrine of the Constitution. This is not what the media wants to hear. They want the Republicans to declare that they will only consider Supreme Court nominees that are against Roe vs. Wade. The fact that the media does not hound Democrats with the same question is interesting because I think the media fears that the people might figure out what is really lurking behind the question. The media realizes that when the people hear the truth on this issue, this issue alone could cost the Democratic Party the White House this year.
The truth in this matter is the national Democratic Party will neither consider a Catholic lawyer for seat on The United States Supreme Court nor will they allow the Republicans to nominate a Catholic. Let me repeat: It is now the policy of the national Democratic Party, its national leaders and the Democratic Party’s Presidential nominee Barack Obama, to not allow a Catholic to be considered for the highest court in the land. Why is that? It is because the Catholic Church, with its doctrine, tradition and the teachings of the Pope come out against abortion. It is the policy of the Democratic Party in America today that is telling anyone who will listen, “Catholics, we want your votes but we don’t want you in the Supreme Court.” The Democratic Party believes today that they have the Catholic votes because of their Social Conscious and therefore they do not have to listen to any Catholic issues or beliefs concerning abortion. The Democratic Party has decided not to let the sanctity of life become part of their platform.
Yes, there are people who say they are Catholics and support the polices of the Democratic Party. Senators Kennedy and Kerry of Massachusetts both claim they are Catholic yet, pandering to their party, they both support abortions upon demand. They are Catholics who believe in interpreting Catholic doctrine and polices to benefit them politically. In the view of the Democratic Party, they believe that is the overwhelming view of today is American Catholics.
The Democratic Party is stating that not anyone who follows the teachings and policies of the Catholic Church need apply nor should they even be considered for the highest office in the land. In other words, the National Democratic Party is saying to Catholics in the United States – GET LOST! All we want is your vote.
If Catholics realized the true nature of what the Democratic Party stands for, they would not support a party that is so un-Catholic. To John McCain and the Republicans, why not ask the Democratic Party and its leaders, “Why is the Democratic Party Anti-Catholic?” Demand Barack Obama answers this question, “Would you nominate someone who is a true Catholic to the Supreme Court?”
Since the media is protecting the Democratic Party by not asking the hard questions, it is not shocking that Barack Obama has not been asked, “Why Is the Democratic Party in America Anti-Catholic!?” If Catholics knew the truth about the Democratic Party, I do not think the polls would be evenly split.
