Vatican official attacks U.S. Democrats as “party of death”

Vatican officials seldom single out political leaders who differ with the Church on issues like abortion rights or embryonic stem cell research. But now that the Vatican’s highest court is led by an American, the former St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke, we can expect things to get more explicit in Vatican City — at least when when it comes to U.S. politics.
Burke, who was named prefect of the Vatican’s Supreme Court of the Apostolic Signature in June, told the Italian Catholic newspaper Avvenire that the U.S. Democratic Party risked “transforming itself definitively into a party of death for its decisions on bioethical issues.” He then attacked two of the party’s most high profile Catholics — vice presidential candidate Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — for misrepresenting Church teaching on abortion.
He said Biden and Pelosi, “while presenting themselves as good Catholics, have presented Church doctrine on abortion in a false and tendentious way.”
Pelosi drew U.S. bishops’ scorn for saying in a television interview last month that the Church itself had long debated when human life begins. Biden is a practicing Catholic who also supports abortion rights and analysts have said he could help woo wavering Catholics into Obama’s fold. Both argue that they cannot impose their religious views on others.
Burke said pro-life Democrats were “rare” and that it saddened him that the party that helped “our immigrant parents and grandparents” prosper in America had changed so much over the years.
Burke made headlines as archbishop of St. Louis for his public attacks on public figures who strayed from Catholic teaching. He suggested during the 2004 presidential campaign that Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry, a Catholic, should be denied communion because of his views on abortion. Several bishops said at the time they would not give him communion and the media staked out churches where he attended Mass to see if he received it.
“Lately, I’ve noticed that other bishops are coming to this position,” Burke told Avvenire, which is owned by the Italian bishops’ conference.
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, wrote a letter in 2004 to American bishops restating the Church position that a priest must refuse to distribute communion to a Catholic politician who supported abortion rights. But Burke lamented that the letter was never distributed.
Burke’s criticism isn’t limited to Democrats. Last year, he accused singer Sheryl Crow of being “a high profile proponent of the destruction of innocent lives” for defending a woman’s right to have an abortion and for being a proponent of stem cell research. He resigned as head of a children’s medical charity that featured the singer for a benefit concert.
Pope Benedict has been encouraging Catholic bishops to speak out more openly on public policy issues to make the Church’s voice heard. Any bets on when we’ll hear from Burke next?

To Michael Cecil,
A direct quote cannot be a calumny. To quote Ahmadinejad himself:
“The skirmishes in the occupied land are part of a war of destiny. The outcome of hundreds of years of war will be defined in Palestinian land. As the Imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map.”
As to your reference to “hundreds of thousands of Christian fetuses in the United States”, this grossly understates the tragedy. There have been nearly 50 million abortions in the United States since the Roe vs Wade decision.
creeps like burke will not only hand communion to known child molesting priests but will also stand on the same altar and believe that a child molester priest has the power to change bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ. in fact given the huge number of child molesters and child molester appeasers in the current catholic church it\’s likely been rare that communion has been served to anyone (as I doubt God would grant the powers of consecration to such disturbed individuals)
A few quick (hopefully) points:
1) The term “Catholic” means universal. Universal means everywhere and throughout time. Therefore, the Catholic Church is going to maintain a consistent set of beliefs. Many people on this thread are going to spout off a number of errant statements of how the Church has changed its doctrines. Fine, but history has ways of being contorted by its current authors (Howard Zinn, anyone?). The Church has always maintained the evil of any abortion, and has always taught the virtue of chastity. A Catholic who disagrees with the Church on the issues of abortion and chastity has therefore broken with the consistent teaching of the Church. They therefore cease to be Catholic and cannot recieve the Eucharist. With repentance and penance, they can enter back into the fold.
2) The role of a Bishop is to be the chief teacher of the faith in a particular locality. In this capacity, a Bishop has the duty to correct and warn those under his care of their spiritual state: to do so is considered an act of Spiritual Mercy. When a prominent person publically mis-represents the faith, it is the Bishop’s duty to correct them. Likewise, when a person associated with a particular organization (say a sports team) speaks incorrectly, their supervisor must correct them. That is how it works.
3) The Democratic Party is mentioned simply for two reasons: both its primary candidates are ardent supporters of abortion and embryonic stem-cell research, and during its Convention, it modified its platform from having abortion be safe, legal, and rare, to being safe and legal. Plus, its primary spokesman had taken public steps to ensure that he not only supported all abortion, but he would also allow an innocent baby who survived abortion to be killed merely because that baby represented a threat to abortion. Thus, the party publically established itself in stark contrast with the teachings of the Church.
4) The Church has the right to preach on moral issues during an election year and still remain tax exempt. Religious institutions are allowed to preach on the various issues, inform people of candidate’s stances on the issues, register voters, and encourage people to vote. The Catholic Church has never endorsed (nor ardently opposed) any specific candidate by name. Archbishop Burke’s comments were actually quite legal: he never endorsed any candidate (nor does he oppose Obama in his comment). Quite simply, he states the truth that in relation to Church teaching, the Democratic party is moving considerably farther away from respecting and promoting life.
Dear OJ,
I understand your anger at the wrongs committed by the church in the past. Does this really undermine the Truth that the church represents though? Can the faults of human beings ever truly damage the perfection of creation?
Answer Key: No, NO.
Thank you, Archbishop Burke, for standing up for truth. No other argument or issue matters if we do not have the opportunity to take that first breath once we have been conceived. He is not “imposing his religion:” he is PROPOSING truth. We must stand up for “the least of our brethren,” those who have no chance to speak for themselves. Those who believe otherwise have lost their way, and since those words are in the Democratic platform, they deserve each other: the lost and the Democrats.
Regrettably, today politicians from both parties, such as Nancy Pelosi, Joe Bidden, Rudy Giuliani, Ed Kennedy, Newt Gingrich, John Kerry, and many others claim to be Catholics, when in fact by their actions they live outside of the Catholic Church. We shouldn’t expect that church would change just to accommodate us. It looks rather that politicians want to use religion for political gains. Barrack Obama obviously chose Joe Bidden, as his running mate to influence Catholic vote. In reality, that action did not produce effect he desired. In US, unlike Saudi Arabia, Pakistan or Iran we live in the society, with many religions flourishing in harmony, therefore we have almost unlimited choices, and we may pick religion that fits our beliefs and values.
I am a convert and to this day I have never understood how people can criticize any church, let alone the Catholic Church, which is the oldest, and that almost all other christain churches, have things in their liturgy and creed taken from the Catholic Church. To blaspheme against any Christain church is unforgiveable. All of you who have put forth your criticism with such vehemence, obviously know absolutely nothing about the church, its history, or its teaching! It is made of human beings, just like you and me. Human beings make all kinds of mistakes and often err, so why would you think that the Catholic Church or any other church would not make mistakes, especially when it goes back to the 1st century? It seems to me that a lot of you have nothing else to do but spew out rotten rhetoric, which is harmful to you and to anyone else who reads it! It is a terrible thing to be so hateful and infect everyone else with it! The bishops and the priests teach us to pray for people like you. I will try, but it is very difficult, especially when you seem to think that it is okay to murder a helpless small human with every physical attribute that you, yourself have. As far as having a Downs Syndrome child I have known them to be very loving,
and capable of much more than people often think they are. To most families who have chosen to have them, they are a blessing!
So many people can justifiy “Killing Inocent Life” It’s so sad. They try to justify it (abortion) by pointing out other bad behaviour. It sickens me. Wake up you fools and re think your position.
Michael Cecil, how informed you are! You muist have the inside information about US govt. plans to “wage nuclear war” against Iran, since no such plan has ever been proposed or articulated by the Bush administration! Or were you just making that up? And just because the Iranians, the world’s foremost state sponsors of international terroroism, who have all the energy resources they need without nuclear power are enriching uranium to weapons grade, and vowing to wipe Israel off the map, that’s no reason for US intervene in their “right” to develop nuclear technology, right? Given that Iran is a terrorist theocracy bent on destroying the only relaible ally the US has in that region of the world, and the “Obama-ssiah” would sit down and negotiate with these thugs and murderers without preconditions, then that makes the Dumbo-craps some kind of party of LIFE? Give it up jerk! You must be as stupid as you sound!
I am a Catholic and I am pro-life. My thoughts are this:
Even though it is legal to have an abortion, it does NOT MANDATE that a woman have an abortion. Do you see the difference? It’s free will.
I believe it is our responsibility as Americans, as Christians, as Catholics to educate people the best we can. Knowlegde is power.
I agree with the ones who wrote about God giving us free will. He will judge us. I agree with the ones who wrote there needs to be better support systems out there for these woman if we are going to make abortion illegal.
To some degree it doesn’t matter if abortion is made illegal or stays legal because either way, abortions will still happen. Murder still happens even though it’s illegal. Drug’s still happen even through they are illegal and so on. We need to keep straight what are GOD’s laws and what are man made. Even though American has abortion as legal it doesn’t make it right in God’s eyes. We could take this to other topics such as pre-marital sex too which isn’t right in God’s eyes. It could go on and on. So again, the judgement will come down between God and that individual.
Sandi
Comparing the lives of homicidal maniacs to an unborn children. Maybe Obama was right “who should be cursed with such a thing?”
The USA has never threatened nuclear war with Iran. But Iran has threatened Israel and the whole western world with destruction. The hate America first croud is at it again.
There are so many things I would like to say but, having been brought up Catholic, I know how tunnel-visioned Catholics are. However, I would just like to point out that this so called Almighty God gave us the right to freewill. He gave us the choice to do what we want, whether good or evil. Obviously if we choose evil we will suffer the consequences, but we have the choice nonetheless. These Democrats are not supporting abortion, they are supporting the woman’s right to choose what to do with her body. Someone can be against abortion but pro-choice. The Catholic church (keep in mind that this is a male run institution) has absolutely no right to say that a woman has no choice. The more I see of the Catholic church the more I am disappointed in it. It is one of the most hypocritical establishments in the history of man and I am ashamed to have ever called myself a Catholic.
War is not part of the platform of the Republican party. No party has a monopoly on the occasional use of military force. The Democrats, however, are indeed the party which consistently endeavors to maintain a ruling by 5 unelected people, which has resulted in the deaths of 20 million of our fellow Americans since 1972. Life begins at conception (science has proven this, and the democrats are living in the dark ages.) Life should be protected. These are not religous beliefs. They are scientific facts and universal, humanitarian, beliefs.
So if the Republicans support abortion in the case of rape or incest does that make the the “quasi party of death”?
What about capital punishment? I believe the church has a strong stance on that as well, but do not see anyone being refused communion based on it.
We have “separation of church and state” for a reason in this country.
Nothing comes out when they move their lips but a bunch of jibberish..
If you like the Church scene good for you..If you don’t, good for you too. But why is it the bible thumpers that seem to take issue with non bible thumpers ? is it a cult thing ? You are electing a president to run a country, of which bible thumping issues represent a small fraction of the issues. yall bible thumpers better start focusing on much more than abortion or else you won’t have a home to thump your bible..
Mr. Cecil, you’ve exposed yourself as an anti-Semite. Ahmadinejad has said he wants to wipe Israel off the face of the map. He also participated in a conference denying that the Holocaust happened.
It is time that people in America take a close look at this issue. Forty-two million abortions and counting. Someone needs to speak for those who have no voice. People need to take pause and reflect on this issue. The term silent holocaust is appropriate. The issue should not be relegated to a democratic or republican fault finding. We all as humans have been given the gift of life. We must look at ourselves and answer the question. Why am I silent. Why do I at least reflect on what abortion is; what types of abortions occur; what happens when a aborted child is born alive and left to die. Slavery did not find its way into the American conscience until the scars and wounds were seen and people saw behind the word describing the issue directly into the depths of inhumanity turned inward against itself.
Michael Cecil are you glad your Mother was Pro Life? Think about it!
Hey, I’m not a Catholic but I am totally with Archbishop Burke. FINALLY, the Catholic Church is speaking out against EVIL – the MURDER of unborn children – life.
GO ARCHBISHOP BURKE & THE CATHOLIC CHURCH!
You have the support of millions of Believers. Don’t be timid about speaking the truth and calling out immorality everywhere you see it.
PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR MORAL LEADERSHIP. PROVIDE IT!
This is about abortion which has killed over 40 Million children – that is 40,000,000.
You cannot compare this to the possibility of a response or preventative first strike.
And what is worse, we have done this to our own people.
CATHOLIC CHURCH:
By the same token, speak out against the gross immorality of sodomy/homosexuality.
Take a stand against all immorality, in word and deed.
Hey Michael Cecil, The development of the Nuclear Bomb was started by FDR and the decision to drop it on Japan was made by Truman….both Democrats. The only current candidate openly talking about attacking another country is Nobama. You really need to open your mind and check your facts.
Good. I’m glad someone in the Catholic church is criticizing Biden and Pelosi. I’m not a Catholic, but it sure seems like Biden and Pelosi do not uphold the Catholic church’s teachings. What hypocrites! I can’t believe they still consider themselves Catholics. I guess they’re Cafeteria Catholics — pick and choose what you want to practice. Kind of like Liberals now that I think of it.
I doubt you have any figures to back that up. The secrets out, and it’s not likely that molesters are being harbored by the authorities anymore. The church is simply policing up their image. If you had people from your particular party/city/family/gang, saying things that didn’t properly represent the views of your group, you would likely want to correct them. As for stopping war before stopping abortion, there will never be an end to war. There will always be people willing to die for their beliefs. Am I right?
All you pro choice murderers should have been aborted! Eh!
Not fair! He should have said that the democratic part is “A” Party of Death instead of “The” Party of Death. Of course the democratic is a party of death and proud of it but there are many movements around the world that are just as deadly. Diane Pediculosis and Joe Bidet are primarily Marxists instead of Catholics and you know the Marxist slant on religion.
I like how you guys talk about a nuclear war with Iran yet you guys believe that it is ok to kill a child in the womb the war with Iran which we aren’t having right now has been provoked by Iran, we are being provoked right now so if we do have one it will be their fault second of all it’s better to strike first then strike last
When did abortion become only a matter of religion? The Pro-Life philosophy is supported by catholic religious doctrine but is equally discovered using basic human reason and philosophy. At best, Biden’s “I won’t impose” comments are a cop-out; the beginning of a human life is not a question only of religion, but of science and reason. And science supports the life-at-conception stance. At worst, his comments are blasphemous – does he not believe in “truth” as taught by his church?
Just another reason to separate from the Catholic Church because of the hipocrasy. Among the many things I believe that have been taught to me in my 12 yrs of Catholic school are the sanctity of life – all life, to be a good steward of the earth, to serve the poor and less fortunate, etc. I think these values are most closely aligned with the Democratic Party.
The Democratic party is not forcing abortion on anyone – only preserving the rights of the secular society. Abortion is a personal choice. And Roe v Wade is a matter of privacy, not a support of killing a fetus. Imagine there is no Roe v Wade and you’ve just had a miscarriage and your mother-in-law decided that it was because you were regularly exercising and decided to bring charges against you. Again, it’s a matter of privacy.
Killing in war and the death penalty ARE state sponsored that are forced upon our population. We pay taxes and they are using the monies that we pay to kill those on death row and to fashion weaponry.
A soldier in war is carrying out his orders. I guess our police officers are sinners too! Oh and don’t forget that drink or two you have before you drive you could kill someone, and all the grease you eat you’re killing yourself and don’t go kayaking, swimming, hunting, fishing, sailing, skiing,sky diving, bungee jumping, biking cause thats all risky behavior and someone could die. I’m a catholic and I see the Churches and the Liberals view. People make this abortion debate such a big thing. Abortion is a cover for someone making a mistake. If they want an abortion go right ahead. One less low life in the world!
This guy Burke sounds like a right winger to me.
It’s about time.
The founding fathers put the “establishment clause” in the Bill of Rights to prevent a church from using secular power to shove its doctrines down our throats. Despite that clause it took a couple of centuries to get rid of the enforcement of church rules by he government. It wasn’t all that long ago that most stores could not be opened on Sunday, that you could be fined for mowing your lawn on Sunday, etc.
If a believer wants to follow the rules of his religion, that is fine, but the government has no right to force me to follow them.
It is even more disgusting that the the church of “Pedophile Central” has the guts to preach to us. The church that did their best to keep pedophile priests from jail. The church that gave Cardinal Law, one the most egregious protector of pedophiles a wonderful position in Rome.
I’ll make a bet that if a cure for a disease is created using embryonic stem cells, the priests and bishops that have that disease will line up to get the cure.
70 million American Catholics ,if truly convicted of the tennants of their faith, could change the barbaric nature of killing the defenseless unborn. How can we expect God to bless America when we have laws that allow the killing of the very life that he creates? How? Life is precious and fragile and wonderful. People wait with arms open to embrace and love the unwanted child. It is a great stain upon our nation.
As a lifelong agnostic, I’d like to know why the pro-choice side assumes pro-lifers object to abortion on religious grounds.
I have no clue if there’s a God, or a herd of Gods, or a pantheon of revered ancestors, or nothing, or whatever. I have no idea where the universe came from or why we are here.
I did pay attention in sixth grade biology class, so I know when the lives of nearly all animals begin, whether they are fish, rats, or people. Those lives begin when cells contributed by parents merge to become new individuals.
Call it a fetus (latin for child or offspring) or whatever else you want, but the simple, technical, religion-free fact is that it’s a person.
That the person may be inconvenient for other persons does not change that simple reality.
I had to stop reading the postings. So much hatred thinly veiled as commentary or psudo-insights. Another alcoholic told me not to drink – because he drank are his efforts invalid? Why isn’t a voter or a country equally responsible for the death of an innocent baby equal to the licensed doctor/murder? The voter who contributes to political causes that destroy the inner city family (great society) or a feckless government ‘education’ system that turns out soulless dull imbecilic robots without a nodding acquaintance of the great books – that voter must be held equally responsible. I have yet to hear anyone who cashes a government paycheck be a man, stand up and take responsibility for obscene failures in America. The fortune stolen from those who create jobs, expand the tax base through personal, real risk and piddled away on social engineering and frivolity is a national sin.
This is long over-due. We are one Supreme Court vote away from over-turning Roe vs. Wade. While both parties will justifiably endorse war (Woodrow Wilson, FDR, JFK & LBJ were all Democrats), only one party will nominate the type of judge who will make this a reality.
NARAL is also a religion of a type with certain moral views as is Planned Parenthood.
If one believes as Catholics do that man is a creature composed of body and soul and made to the image and likeness of God that has certain consequences for one’s ethical outlook which in turn affects the way one looks at politics, and candidates for public office.
The maddening thing about the likes of Pelosi,Giuliani, Biden and Kerry is that they all maintain they are Catholics in good standing, particularly at election time or when there is a papal visit, while all the time espousing views that are identical with NARAL and Planned Parenthood.
It’s o.k. to crush a viable baby’s skull. It’s o.k. to watch it die, if despite one’s best efforts she is born alive. It’s o.k. to press for these wonderful benefits for society. Dare I say posterity?
If abortion on demand is such a good thing then by all means argue for it, but don’t claim that what you are doing is consistent with Catholic belief.
The gospel according to John after all differs from that of John Stuart Mill.
If the practice of Catholicism becomes a crime in the USA these folks needn’t worry, there’ll be no evidence to convict them.
If Roe v. Wade is overruled one day it will not be the end of abortion on demand in the “enlightened states,” but there will be many places in the USA where people will choose to restrict it, democratically, acting through their elected representatives.
Criminalization is not al that far fetched. In Massachusetts, Catholic Charities which will not do “gay” adoptions is now out of the adoption business.
So much for liberal ‘tolerance.’
I feel a sense of loss for the old Democratic Party. My first political memory is that of my mother and father and aunt staying up all night at the radio to find out if Harry Truman won.
It was hard to leave the Democratic party, but Ronald Reagan was right. I didn’t leave it; it left me. I have great misgivings about the Bush version of Republicanism (“41″ and “43″)I despise the empire we’ve become.
But abortion is the litmus test for Democrats. It is their most important issue; it defines what they stand for. You can be a heretic on economic issues like Clinton but don’t tread on abortion or gay marriage. Those are csacred canons of the party.
Ah the unalienable rights espoused by our deist forefathers, who would probably be regarded as papists today.
Endowed by the Creator with the unalienable right to life. That’s really strong stuff! But don’t worry they no longer impose their religion on us.
To all the people that think abortion is a personal choice: You probably would say that slavery is also a personal choice.
Following the Dred Scott decision, it would have been common to hear Democrat politicians stating that they personally believed blacks to be fully human and deserving of freedom, but that they did not believe on imposing their beliefs on others, or on taking away the property rights of slave-owners. The southern states seceded from the Union in order to protect their slavery rights, and the north, led by the first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln prosecuted a war, eventually banishing legal slavery from the nation. Yes, the Democratic party was the party that divided humans into full humans and less-than-humans prior to the Civil War. From the beginning, the Republicans have been the anti-slavery party, the party that believed that all humans were created by God with equal rights that include Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. And the Democrats have not.
Roe v. Wade is the Dred Scott of the last 50 years. It is a horrible decision. It takes a class of humans and defines them as less than human, promotes the privacy “rights” of a different class of humans, and allows the second class to deprive the first class of their right to life, guaranteed, among other places, in the Declaration of Independence. This class warfare is reflected in the Democratic economic, judicial, and other positions, amounting to a kind of tribalism that divides the people of America into small, disparate, mutually antagonistic tribes that are rendered powerless to unite and resist Democrats’ usurpation of power.
Political power is the be-all and end-all of the Democratic value system. Divide and conquer, pitting mothers against their children, men against women, young against old, rich against poor, military against civilian, employers against the employed, those who work against those who suckle at the public teat, and dark skinned people against light skinned people, is the tactic they choose. Every single Democratic policy goal supports tribalism. Think about it and you’ll see I’m right.
The Church hasn’t changed its position, as misstated by one of the mentioned politicians. If the politician cannot abide by the Church’s teachings, that politician should be prinipled enough to leave the Church. Considering the politicians mentioned, its no suprise that they lack the integretity to simply leave the Church, they want the votes that are attached to their calling themselves Catholic. They only go to mass when its election time for the photo ops.
I think both parties don’t care about abortion, otherwise it would be outlawed by now !!!!!

MR. Savage
I am finishing up your book, “The Liberal mind….”
I really connect with your books. I have to flip a page or two sometimes because I don’t like your rantings but I believe nearly every truth you bring out. But you and all of the others who are talk radio caregivers do not have any answers, with all due respect. You really don’t understand the God you talk about sometimes,either. I think you really believe in Him but you don’t know who he is. It would take a very long time for me to tell you of the beauty in the Bible concerning the Jewish people and what God is doing in the earth today. But I know that you really care about issues and people and on those days that you are depressed your depression is real I will always listen to you and Rush but I wish you would give somebody a break when they do something that is pro-America and good for the people because you literally have nothing good to say about anyone (The day you criticized Rush was a bad day for me. My my) That is unless they are brain children. You are an intellectual snob. But you could do worse. I don’t judge you for that. I love my children and they are “intellectual” One doctor, one personal health fitness trainer, one seller of modular homes and a 24 year old teacher.
I think so many times when I am listening to you that I would like to help you to understand spiritual principles about our world. If you want me to I’ll begin to send you units of teaching starting with a timeline of creation and God’s will and purpose for us. I’ve taught it to women. It’s actually simple and I am concerned that your unregenerate(not a criticism; a bible truth) mind will think it is complete foolishness. I am sincerely concerned about your mental health
One day I was listening to you and I thought, “This is a lonely, old man”. I felt compassion for you. Again, I believe everything you say but I don’t like the way you hurt some folks who call you and I would like to hear you say something good about someone. I appreciate your mind. If you are happy with your understanding of God then just file this somewhere. Mary Ann Colter
If you found out tomorrow that your father raped your mother when she became pregnant with you, would you wish you were dead?
The dems are automatically for any evil that comes along: abortion (over 40,000,000 murders so far), embryonic stem cell experimentation, sodomite marriage. They were also the party that defended pornography back when it was an issue – its not an issue anymore – they won that one too, condoms to the kids, Suzie has two mommies in kindergarten etc etc the list goes on and on. And many so called Catholics blindly follow whatever the party dictates forgetting that we were baptized into
Christ, not the democratic or republican party!
I have but one thing to say…. What Would jesus Do! Love the sinner and hate the sin! To deny access to communion or any other sacrament is NOT what Jesus was/is about!
Of course the Democrats aren’t the party of Death! Everyone who is smart knows they just want abortions for poor low-class people whose life would stink anyways! It would help the envirobnment too.
And thank the goddess there was no “molesting altar boy” type scandal and cover-up by democrats. I’m sure there is no such thing as a paedophile democrat.
Afterall, a man and a child having sex is an alternative lifest=yle we should celebrate!
Viva democrat family values!
Abortion is MURDER period. If you are not practicing Roman Catholics your comments do not count!
God bless him. It’s time to confront these people. Amen, Amen.
