Explain the Dark Age of Obama Matt Thursday, June 11, 2009

Question:

Why would this site refer to the passage of time as the "Dark Age of Obama"? Obama's the best thing that's happened to this nation since Harry Truman. I'd really like an explanation.

Aside from the fact that the comment is political rather than religious, it's unchristian.

What is wrong with the people behind St. Mike.org and why won't they answer this question directly? Why do they foist it off onto this so-called forum, as if truth is determined by vote? Thanks.



Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM

Dear Matt:

Well, we have some problems here.

A good Christian does not make judgments based upon the sin of rash judgment. Yet you have done so twice.

First, You accuse us of being unchristian, yet you have not heard our explanation yet!

Second, you accuse us of not answering your question directly. Sir, this is a direct answer to your question in this forum.

As was explained to you in the letter you received in response to your original private email, we receive hundreds of emails. Since there are only so many hours in a day, and there can be many people with the same question, it is proper to ask such questions in this forum. I would be violating the stewardship of the time God has given me if I were to answer every private email when the question can be posted here for all to read.

Here, I can answer the question once, instead of hundreds of times in private email. Thus, we politely referred you to this forum.

What part of this do you not understand?

Now as to your question about the Dark Age of Obama:

Obama is the most pro baby killing President in the history of the United States. That alone is enough to call this the Dark Age of Obama. It is truly a dark age when there is no protection at all for unborn babies from conception to birth, and maybe even after birth. Obama has either already written Executive Orders, signed legislation, or promises to sign legislation that not only promotes unmitigated and unabashed killing of babies, but seeks to remove all restrictions of any sort on abortion. Although the provision may not pass, the Obama regime was in favor of removing the "conscience" clause for medical workers that would force them to participate in abortion.

Obama also wished to force returned wounded soldiers to get their own health insurance instead of the Veterans Administration caring for them. He backed off only after major protest. He has appointed person after person with questionable ethics including a pro-pornography attorney and a rapidly pro-abortion person.

He spits at the Catholic Church time and time again in appointing supposed Catholics into his regime who are actually Catholic in name only. His speech at Notre Dame proves the lack of integrity of this man. More than 75 Bishops and 360,000 Catholics protested his presence at Notre Dame and especially the honorary degree they gave him (in direct rebellion to the Church's directives on this). The local bishop boycotted the commencement. With all this a man of integrity, who allegedly wishes to build bridges rather than cause divisiveness, would have declined the invitation (that should never have been extended in the first place).

This man's economic policies are leading us into European socialism, and his political policies are leading us into a kind of fascism. Our Founding Fathers must be rolling in their graves.

He snubs the Queen of England and the Prime Minister of England, but gives a profound bow, that no President should ever give to anyone, to the Muslim King of Saudi Arabia.

As I wrote in my blog:

Already, in just 66 days, Obama has become the most aggressive baby-killer in the history of the Presidency. Here is a list of his actions so far:

1. President Obama reversed the Mexico City Policy four days after taking office. Instead of restricting foreign aid to organizations who directly support abortion, American taxpayers will be funding abortions overseas, all while trying to make ends meet in the midst of a recession.

2. The new omnibus budget increases money spent on the abortion industry, including an increase of $7.5 million to $307.5 million for Title X Domestic Family Planning and a 19% increase of $88 million to $545 million for International Family Planning.

3. President Obama signed an executive order forcing American taxpayers to fund unrestricted embryonic stem cell research. As pointed in a column by Charles Krauthammer, President Obama “pointedly left open the creation of cloned -- and noncloned sperm-and-egg-derived -- human embryos solely for the purpose of dismemberment and use for parts.”

4. President Obama has started the proceedings to rescind the “conscience clause” regulations put in place by President Bush, which protects healthcare professionals and medical students who refuse to perform abortions for moral reasons. (To speak out, go to www.Freedom2Care.com)

5. President Obama nominated one of the most pro-abortion governors in the country, Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, to be Secretary of HHS, which oversees millions spent on the abortion industry. Sebelius hosted infamous late-term abortionist Dr. George Tiller and his staff at the governor's mansion.

6. On March 17, 2009, for the first time in eight years, the Obama State Department released $50 million to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), an organization linked to China's one-child policy and coerced abortions. Unsatisfied by the $50 million mark, House members, led by pro-abortion Rep. Louise Slaughter, are asking for even more money in the next budget Congress will consider.

7. Under Obama’s proposed healthcare plan, the same advocates that are pushing for taxpayer-funded abortions and wiping out parental consent laws, were front and center at the Healthcare Summit in Washington, DC to present their solutions.


In addition, Obama's health plan promises rationing medical care for the elderly. His appointee, Tom Daschle, who dropped out because of tax problems, made the statement that the elderly just need to get use to their pains and sufferings.

This qualifies Obama as an Angel of Death without doubt. (Angel means "messenger" by the way).

Obama's Big Brother ideology is in full swing with the largest spending bill in history with the largest debt in history, the control of private business, the proposal to control businesses that did not receive bail out money, promoting classism that include extra tax for the rich (which is really a tax on all of us as the cost of goods will increase as a result, lost jobs, and continuing downturn of the economy).

Then we have the profound hypocrisy and promise-breaking that exceeds anything seen by a President in his first two months. These include telling the country they need to sacrifice by lowering their thermostats and then raising his thermostat in the Oval Office to around 80 degrees, saying that lobbyists will not be part of the White House and then hiring hordes of lobbyists, and on and on and on.

Then doing numerous stupid and political amateur-land actions such as proposing the returning wounded veterans need to find their own insurance instead of getting all their care at the VA Hospitals. He backed off on this because of the huge outcry against this stupidity. But, the very fact that he would even propose such a thing gives us a clue to his character.

Then there is one of the most recent stupid lies out of his mouth when he said that the given our Muslim population, the United States is one of the largest Muslim nations in the world. Really? The Muslim population in the United States is 6 tenths of 1 percent. The Christian population is 76%. Syria has 10% Christians. With Obama's fuzzy math that would make Syria a one of the largest Christian nations. In fact, the Muslim population is among the LOWEST percentages as well as raw numbers of the major non-Muslim countries. For example, according to the CIA World Fact Book Germany has 3% Muslims, Great Britain has 2.7%, France has 5-10%. In what fantasyland is this guy living to make such absurd statements. This guy is out-of-control.

All but perhaps the one paragraph above is of concern to Religion. The paragraph above speaks mostly to stupidity, or perhaps to an ulterior motive, but may also relate to Religion as it speaks to the credibility and integrity of our President, which affects us all.

The Church teaches that we are to imbue our political and social world with the Gospel of Christ. In this regard, Obama is a sort of antichrist in that the way he thinks and acts has no relationship to Christ. The Church has direct concern over justice, including economic justice, and over freedom, including political freedom, as these things affect the dignity of the human person.

And I could go on and on and on. For those with the strength to follow Obama's antics, it will take an encyclopedia of books to report them all by the time he is out of office, hopefully in four years.

This is not about politics per se, this is about times that are very dark not only for Christians, but for the world.

We have truly entered the Dark Ages, where life is cheaper than ever before and Truth is a virtue foreign to our ears at levels not before seen in this country. It is said that Truth is the first casualty of war. We are at war, a culture war and the enemy General is Obama.

By the way, you identified yourself as a Catholic, yet you call Obama the best thing since Truman?

Well, sir, if you voted for Obama then you gravely sinned. Many bishops spoke out and declared this. To vote for Obama is sin to a Catholic. A Catholic cannot vote for a pro-abortion candidate. This point has also been stated by our Holy Father. So if you voted for Obama, you need to confess it in the Sacrament of Confession. Of course, you can only be forgiven if you are sorry for your sin.

I pray that you will not risk your soul in this way and repent of your support of the greatest evil we have witnessed since Hitler; not in the same way as Hitler, of course, but just as evil in other ways.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
