Pro Choice Pigs — The Clintons and the corporations are pushing the meme that bans or restrictions on abortion are “anti-woman”.
He’s with her.
This is epic Orwellian wordplay.
The men most inclined to treat women as sex toys are invariably “pro choice”.
Why do Larry Flynt and Gloria Steinem support the same candidates? Why is Jeffery Epstein a friend of the Clintons? Why do rap musicians and Hollywood “players” back Democrats, often only because of their position on abortion?
You don’t need to be Einstein to connect the dots.
The motivations of those who are pro life are also not hard to fathom. All decent persons believe that there is an obligation to protect the weak and helpless. All with an IQ above room temperature understand that life indisputably starts somewhere.
You ever notice that it is the “pro choice” crowd that goes to extremes to avoid discussing where that somewhere might be?
What is hard to fathom, however, is why women somehow are supposed to think that it is in their interest to tell men that the baby they’re carrying is none of their business.
Donald Trump was a Hollywood-connected billionaire who obviously did his share of things that were wrong. Unlike his fellow one-percenters, though, he seems to understand this and is willing to make amends.
If you have a soul, he’s basically your only choice in this election.
Toomey McGinty Debate — If you missed Monday’s (Oct. 17) debate between U.S. Senate candidates Republican incumbent Pat Toomey and Democrat Katie McGinty you can find it here.
We didn’t watch it either.
We will be voting for Toomey, though, for this if nothing else.
Charlton, Schaefer Debate Before 150 — The candidates seeking to replace Bill Adolph for the 165th District Seat in the Pennsylvania State House debated tonight (Oct. 18) before an audience of about 150 at the Springfield Township Building.
The lawn of the Springfield Township Building before tonight’s debate.
Alex Charlton of Springfield, the Republican, emphasized many times that Pennsylvania has a spending problem not one of revenue. “It’s not that we tax enough but that we spend too much,” he said.
Elaine Schaefer of Radnor, the Democrat, pushed over and over an extraction tax on natural gas, and forcing more revenue from corporations as budget solutions.
Both supported more education spending. Charlton noted that he had three daughters. Both supported greater government transparency. Charlton especially defended the Open Records Office and condemned Gov. Wolf’s attempt to politicize it last year.
Shaefer said she opposed privatizing the state-owned liquor stores because Pennsylvania would lose revenue. Charlton supported liquor privatization and noted that most of the revenue would remain as it comes from taxes which would be unchanged. He also noted that Pennsylvania would get money from the sale of the liquor stores.
Shaefer strongly defended Gov. Wolf’s plan to resettle a massive number of Syrian refugees in the state. She cited the benefits of diversity. She said that until someone is identified as a “bad actor” we must assume he is not. Charlton thought Wolf’s plan was foolish. “We need to put the needs of our citizens first,” he said.
Schaefer rabidly defended Planned Parenthood and unrestricted abortion. Charlton noted that Planned Parenthood was a billion dollar corporation but that defunding it was not on his agenda. Rather, his emphasis would be on health care for pregnant women. He noted that as long as Roe v Wade was in effect it was difficult to address abortion legislatively.
Schaefer attacked the National Rifle Association and condemned legislation that allowed municipalities to be sued if they enacted gun laws that went beyond what the state had enacted. Charlton pointed out that a state-wide patchwork of gun laws would cause turmoil and that a gun owner should have an expectation of consistency when moving around the state.
Both candidates said open space was important to a community. Schaefer took issue with Charlton’s suggestion last summer that the Philadelphia Archdiocese donate the Don Guanella tract in Marple that is up for development. She said the acquisition of open space is a long, complicated process. Charlton noted that he has met with the Archdiocese, that they were not offended and that the matter is advancing.
In response to a question regarding the recent state Supreme Court ruling that the “local share assessment” provision in the state gambling code unfairly burdened some casinos, Charlton said it was critical that Chester City and Delaware County not lose the money that they had been getting from Harrah’s in Chester, and that he expected the legislature to have the matter addressed before the winner of this election took office.
Schaefer said she wanted to tax drilling in the Marcellus Shale.
The debate was sponsored by the League of Women Voters and was videorecorded by John Haines Sr of Off Net TV. It should be available at his YouTube channel here. Or one can contact him for information, anyway.
165th Legislative District Debate Tonight — The candidates for the 165th Pennsylvania Legislative District seat will debate 7:30 tonight, Oct. 18, at the Springfield Township Building, 50 Powell Road, Springfield, PA 19064.
On the ballot are Republican Alex Charlton and Democrat Elaine Schaefer. The seat had been held by Bill Adolph since 1988.
The district consists of Springfield Township, except for part of the 2nd Division in the 3rd Ward; Morton Borough; Marple Township, except for the 5th Ward; and the 4th and 6th wards of Radnor Township along with the 1st Division of the 1st Ward, the 1st Division of the 3rd Ward, and the 2nd Division of the 5th Ward.
As of the 2011 redistricting it had a population of 63,769.
Have you no shame, Mrs. Clinton? Have you no shame?
Hillary Groping Allegation — A journalist has released a video that has gone viral describing an horrific experience with Hillary Clinton in which Mrs. Clinton brutally groped her in an airplane bathroom.
Prissy Holly says the event occurred 10 years ago and she provides numerous corroborating details.
It is every bit as substantiated as the allegations made by the Clinton campaign’s minions against Donald Trump.
Donald Trump Biblical Hero — Grandstandnews.com addresses the concerns of those who think Donald Trump lacks the demeanor to be president in this article comparing him to Samson of the Bible.
Biblical Hero?
It makes a point that needs to be made. A leader does not have to be pure and saintly to be a deliverer.
We have the candidates we deserve — listen to our music or watch a movie if you doubt it.
It really shouldn’t be a tough choice. To insist on purity now is an exercise in sanctimonious futility.
There is a type of person that demands perfection but is willing to accept the basest, vilest corruption as long as he can pat himself on the back and wear a halo.
Media Dishonesty Means Breaking Windows — Some are wishing the Republicans had a candidate who was well-mannered, nice and with a great hair cut.
Like Mitt Romney.
Then we would not have these allegations of kissing and dirty words.
And we wouldn’t. We’d have other things.
And the nice guy with the great haircut would be nice about it and he would lose.
Where were you people four years ago?
As long as the media is completely in the tank for corruption, and it is, no longer can someone who counts on impartial judging from the Fourth Estate expect to win.
The time for politely knocking on doors is tragically past. The era of breaking windows has begun.
It is sad but that’s why Donald Trump is the man of the hour.
By the way, the establishment media doesn’t need to tell the truth to smear someone. It appears the women making claims against Donald Trump have serious credibility issues.
Jessica Leeds, for instance, says The Donald lifted the arm rest on his seat on the first class section of a Braniff Airlines 707 and groped while flying from Dallas to New York in 1979.
It turns out that first class seats did not have arm rests and that Braniff did not fly a 707 from Dallas to New York.
He’s a gentleman.
And the first-person account by Natasha Stoynoff in People magazine has serious holes especially with regard to her claimed friendship with Melanie Trump. Mrs. Trump says they were never friends or friendly and that she would never have recognized the woman. Her lawyers have demanded People make a retraction or she will sue.
Meanwhile, women who knew Trump during those years are coming forth unprompted and calling him a great guy and a gentlemen.
Archbishop Chaput Wikileaks Reaction — This article by Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput appeared in the Oct. 13 edition of First Things. It should be noted that the Archbishop is not wildly enthusiastic about Donald Trump. It sounds, though, that the Wikileaks revelation about Hillary Clinton’s views on Catholics might have just pushed him into hitting the button for him. We certainly hope so.
Imagine if it was Donald Trump and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley facing each other in the General Election. Would The Donald have a chance? We don’t think so.
But that is why we have come to respect Trump. If someone like Haley was the Democrat nominee, and someone named Bush had not been ordained to be the Republican nominee, we don’t think he would have run.
We have come to conclude that Trump is not running for his ego or because he likes power, but because he is a patriot.
Hopefully, others start seeing this too.

A religious bigot
Back in 2008, in the weeks leading up to the Obama-McCain presidential election, two young men visited me in Denver. They were from Catholics United, a group describing itself as committed to social justice issues. They voiced great concern at the manipulative skill of Catholic agents for the Republican Party. And they hoped my brother bishops and I would resist identifying the Church with single-issue and partisan (read: abortion) politics.
It was an interesting experience. Both men were obvious flacks for the Obama campaign and the Democratic Party—creatures of a political machine, not men of the Church; less concerned with Catholic teaching than with its influence. And presumably (for them) bishops were dumb enough to be used as tools, or at least prevented from helping the other side. Yet these two young men not only equaled but surpassed their Republican cousins in the talents of servile partisan hustling. Thanks to their work, and activists like them, American Catholics helped to elect an administration that has been the most stubbornly unfriendly to religious believers, institutions, concerns and liberty in generations.
I never saw either young man again. The cultural damage done by the current White House has—apparently—made courting America’s bishops unnecessary.
But bad can always get worse. I’m thinking, of course, of the contemptuously anti-Catholic emails exchanged among members of the Clinton Democratic presidential campaign team and released this week by WikiLeaks. A sample: Sandy Newman, president of Voices for Progress, emailed John Podesta, now the head of Hillary Clinton’s campaign, to ask about whether “the bishops opposing contraceptive coverage” could be the tinder for a revolution. “There needs to be a Catholic Spring, in which Catholics themselves demand the end of a middle ages [sic] dictatorship,” Newman writes.
Of course, Newman added, “this idea may just reveal my total lack of understanding of the Catholic church, the economic power it can bring to bear against nuns and priests who count on it for their maintenance.” Still, he wondered, how would one “plant the seeds of a revolution”? John Podesta replied that “We created Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good to organize for a moment like this . . . likewise Catholics United” (emphasis added).
Another Clinton-related email, from John Halpin of the Center for American Progress, mocks Catholics in the so-called conservative movement, especially converts: “They must be attracted to the systematic thought and severely backwards gender relations and must be totally unaware of Christian democracy.” In a follow-up, he adds “They can throw around ‘Thomistic’ thought and ‘subsidiarity’ and sound sophisticated because no one knows what . . . they’re talking about.”
On the evening these WikiLeaks emails were released, I received the following angry email myself, this one from a nationally respected (non-Catholic) attorney experienced in Church-state affairs:
I was deeply offended by the [Clinton team] emails, which are some of the worst bigotry by a political machine I have seen. [A] Church has an absolute right to protect itself when under attack as a faith and Church by civil political forces. That certainly applies here . . .
Over the last eight years there has been strong evidence that the current administration, with which these people share values, has been very hostile to religious organizations. Now there is clear proof that this approach is deliberate and will accelerate if these actors have any continuing, let alone louder, say in government.
These bigots are actively strategizing how to shape Catholicism not to be Catholic or consistent with Jesus’s teachings, but to be the “religion” they want. They are, at the very core, trying to turn religion to their secular view of right and wrong consistent with their politics. This is fundamentally why the Founders left England and demanded that government not have any voice in religion. Look where we are now. We have political actors trying to orchestrate a coup to destroy Catholic values, and they even analogize their takeover to a coup in the Middle East, which amplifies their bigotry and hatred of the Church. I had hoped I would never see this day—a day like so many dark days in Eastern Europe that led to the death of my [Protestant minister] great grandfather at the hands of communists who also hated and wanted to destroy religion.
Of course it would be wonderful for the Clinton campaign to repudiate the content of these ugly WikiLeaks emails. All of us backward-thinking Catholics who actually believe what Scripture and the Church teach would be so very grateful.
In the meantime, a friend describes the choice facing voters in November this way: a vulgar, boorish lout and disrespecter of women, with a serious impulse control problem; or a scheming, robotic liar with a lifelong appetite for power and an entourage riddled with anti-Catholic bigots.
In a nation where “choice” is now the unofficial state religion, the menu for dinner is remarkably small.
Evan McMullin CIA Spoiler — Bob Small of Delco Debates sent us this link to a CNN interview with Evan McMullin who is playing the spoiler in Utah in this year’s presidential election.
The CIA does not like this guy.
An Oct. 12 poll shows that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are tied in the Beehive State at 26 percent with McMullin, a Mormon and former CIA operative getting 22 percent, and Gary Johnson 14 percent.
McMullin has called Trump an “authoritarian” and said that he would “deprive us of our own civil rights.”
When a CIA guy says that you’ve really stepped through the looking glass.
It should be noted that Trump was the one who has been consistently skeptical of foreign involvement.
Anonymous Bill Clinton Child Molesting — The New York Times, whose only reasons for existence are to empower globalists and murder helpless trees, has just released the bombshell that Donald Trump kissed a couple of girls.
The girls said they didn’t want to be kissed by The Donald. Here is a question for one to mull: Is it appropriate to bring forth hard to verify sexual allegations short weeks before a major election hence causing more important issues to be shunted aside? Like whether we should allow a culture that is OK with sexually abusing young girls to gain a foothold here?
Sicko Two
Yes, you say?
OK, here is the hacker group Anonymous claiming Bill Clinton raped a 13-year-old on Jeff Epstein’s Pedo Island and that Hillary is OK with it.
