“The epitome of abortion evil in the world . . . ”

“(H)e is really the high priest of the cult of child-murder . . . ”

“Whose conscience is seared.”

--- Dr. Alan Keyes in referring to Barry Soetoro alias Barack Obama

In a radio interview today with Dave Daubenmire (Pass the Salt Radio), Dr. Alan Keyes comments on why he allowed himself to be arrested in the protest last Sunday on the Notre Dame campus. First he said it was the arrest of Pro-Life advocate and founder of Operation Rescue, Randall Terry, earlier this month at Notre Dame. That arrest impacted Keyes, because he saw a person who had dedicated himself to the cause of Life and now was being treated so badly, and because of it Dr. Keyes felt he need to get more involved. Dr. Keyes indicated that another reason was:

“. . . The very integrity of the faith in Jesus Christ that we profess. And the notion that somehow, consistent with that faith, we can honor one, who has become the epitome of abortion evil in the world, it makes no sense and I felt that we need to rise up as one heart and say ‘no’ to the slanderous lie against truth and our faith.

Daubenmire asked Dr. Keyes to elaborate as to exactly what Barry Soetoro alias Barack Obama’s position really is on abortion, infanticide, etc.

“One of the things I have definitely concluded, especially where Soetoro/Obama is concerned, we should stop referring to abortion, because he is really the high priest of the cult of child-murder.

LACK OF RESPECT FOR LIFE – BABIES BORN ALIVE

“He believes in murdering children in the womb. He believes that if a mother has decided to abort the child, even if that child survives the abortion attempt, and is born viable with no means except to be cared for in the usual way, that child should be left to die in the name of the so-called ‘abortion rights.”

LACK OF RESPECT FOR LIFE – TERRI SCHIAVO

“He (Soetoro/Obama) has also declared - that many people know – that the one vote he was ashamed of in the U.S. Senate was the one he cast just to look into the Terri Schiavo situation.

“This is a conscience so seared, so dead-set against respect for life, that even to investigate the facts about that situation struck him as shameful.

HONORARY DOCTORATE OF LAWS DEGREE?

“So we are dealing with someone whose conscience is seared and who is standing in a position that turns his back on the fundamental law of love of God, which begins with respect to His first gift to us, which is breathing into us the breath of life, which signifies His love for us in the very act of creating what we are. To reject this seems to me, is to reject God’s loving will for us – at the most fundamental level, to tear up the plant as it were, of our respect for God’s law at it root. This is why it was particularly incongruous that he should be given a doctor of laws degree.

“How can you tell me that someone is learned in the law when is they are ripping up from the root the respect that we should have for the laws of God?”

Notrte Dame Loses to the Teleprompter President

I have posted extensively this past week on the scandalous invitation to speak at graduation last Sunday and the honorary degree that Notre Dame awarded to he current radically Pro-Death occupier of the White House in Washington, D.C. The video below was taken from a previous video embedded in a previous article, which was produced for Pass the Salt Ministries.



What Notre Dame did was inexcusable and alumni should withhold donations until such time the school purges their Pro-Death President and Pro-Obama Board of Trustees that are responsible for this travesty of justice. Abortion stops a human life . . .

Prez's god-complex on display at Notre Dame

On Monday Bill Wilson wrote a piece on his The Daily Jot, “Notre Dame Grads Get Dark Study in Hypocrisy and Double Speak.” In that article he discusses the commencement speech that was given at Notre Dame University last Sunday. Here is an excerpt from that insightful article. My comments follow the excerpt.

WASH—May 18—DJNS-- The man who occupies the Oval Office (Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack Obama) used reasonable sounding phrases that tickle the ears as he gave Notre Dame Graduates a dark study of hypocrisy and double speak. .

. . “Those who speak out against stem cell research may be rooted in admirable conviction about the sacredness of life, but so are the parents of a child with juvenile diabetes who are convinced that their son’s or daughter’s hardships can be relieved.” In over a decade of embryonic stem cell research, not one disease has been cured, while adult stem cells have yielded tremendous results.

"The messiah complex was in full gear as (Barry Soetoro alias Barack Obama) spoke about reducing the number of abortions. He said, “Maybe we won’t agree on abortion, but we can still agree that this is a heart-wrenching decision for any woman to make (QUESTION: what about the baby?), with both moral and spiritual dimensions. So let’s work together to reduce the number of women seeking abortions by reducing unintended pregnancies (TRANSLATION: condom-based comprehensive sex education) and making adoption more available, and providing care and support for women who do carry their child to term.” Here (Soetoro a/k/a Obama) is admitting that abortion is bad. Yet he has allocated taxpayer money to fund abortions, minimized abstinence education, supported adoption by homosexuals, and has asked for record amounts of tax money for the world’s largest abortion provider—Planned Parenthood. . . ."

COMMENT

I absolutely concur with Mr. Wilson’s assessment of the alleged President’s scandalous appearance and speech at a supposedly Catholic, pro-life university last Sunday. Soetoro/Obama’s comments on embryonic stem cells and abortion are crystal clear examples of deliberate deceitful language used and meant to couch his real Pro-Death policies, plans, core convictions and heart desire. He tries to hide his true radical stand by sounding moderate. This is his typical approach on many issues.

This man is bigoted against the pre-born, especially against black babies. He is this country’s civil rights violator-in-chief. He actually walks in lock step with Planned Parenthood’s Margaret Sanger and other of history’s eugenicists including the likes of Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Pol Pot. He only cares about gaining and expanding power to implement fully his evil socialist agenda. He is Pro-Death.

What Notre Dame did by inviting this man to their campus, and worse, what they are teaching or allowing to be taught to their students is despicable and utterly shameful. Instead of a handful of protesting students on the outside of the center where the graduation ceremonies were held, there really should have only been handful of students who accepted their diplomas inside. Something is terribly wrong with this picture.

Interestingly and appropriately, to date the cost of allowing this godless infidel to speak at the Catholic campus commencement exercise is $20 million. That is the number of dollars of alumni donations that have been stopped, because of the university’s action in inviting this man and bestowing him an honorary degree as well. I sincerely hope that that total multiplies ten fold or even one-hundred fold.

ND: Why invite a Pro-Death commencement speaker?

Notre Dame Chooses Prestige over Principle

Hear Their Cry

I found two extremely insightful comments about the 2009 Notre Dame Commencement Speech given by the current occupier of the White House who was invited by Notre Dame to provide the keynote address. That comment captured the irony of the moment. A radical Pro-Death advocate asked to speak at a supposedly Pro-Life Catholic institution of higher learning.

Here is the first comment (posted on Sunday, May 17, 2009 at AIPNews.com):

AND A BABY CRIES

“The best part of the (commencement) speech (at Notre Dame on Sunday) was when (Soetoro a/k/a Obama) began to talk about abortion and a baby in the audience began to cry.

“It was a loud and very distinctive cry.

“I suspect it made more than one person weep.

“I know I did”.

Here is the second comment (posted a few minutes after the post above on Sunday, May 17, 2009 at AIPNews.com):

AND THE SPEAKER HEARS SOMEONE?

“For about 15 seconds, Obama appeared visibly shaken. I thought it was from something he was seeing in the crowd that the camera was not showing us, or another heckler we could not hear. Maybe it was the baby... MAYBE IT WAS GOD?”

THEY’D NEVER DREAM OF DOING IT

Earlier in a live interview Randall Terry, founder of Operation Rescue and one of the leaders of the protest at Notre Dame, made the following assessment. He asked, rhetorically, “Would the wicked Planned Parenthood organization ask Pope Benedict to speak at one of its annual conventions? If not, then why in the world would a Catholic religious organization invite a Pro-Death proponent and one instrumental in advancing that cause AND bestow on him an honorary doctorate of law degree?

One reason is that Notre Dame’s Board of Trustees and its President, Father John "Judas" Jenkins, are sympathetic to and endorse the evil policies of this abominable God-dishonoring man, Mr. Soetoro alias Obama.

Invitation to Evil

Randall Terry, a Pro-Life leader and long-time activist and advocate, drafted a resignation letter for Father John Jenkins' use. Jenkins is the President of the University of Notre Dame, where the alleged President of the United States, Barry Soetoro aka Barack Obama, spoke this afternoon. Terry feels that as a result of this foolish and controversial invitation, and resulting protest and outcry by Catholics and Christians in America and around the world, Jenkins will be forced to resign. Here is Terry's suggested draft resignation letter for Jenkins:

May 18, 2009




To the Board of Trustees:

When I took holy vows as a priest, I had high hopes and deep desires to serve Christ and His Church with valor, and without watering in fidelity.

Regrettably, I have failed in my duty as a priest, and brought much scandal and confusion to the faithful.
.

My decision to acquiesce to the urging of others to invite President Obama to speak at our 2009 commencement - even though I knew he was openly defiant of our Lord's commandment, "Thou shalt not murder," and that as President he has personally authorized the shedding of innocent blood in America and around the world - shows that my moral compass has been badly damaged.

It is clear that I do not possess the internal fortitude to resist the machinations of those who promote child-killing, and who seek to tear apart Christ's beloved bride. I am not fit to lead this institution in the battles to defend God's innocents, and Catholic orthodoxy.

After much reflection, as an act of contrition before our Lord, His Church, Our Lady, the holy men who founded Notre Dame, and the million of innocent children who have been slaughtered by abortion, I hereby tender my resignation as President of Notre Dame University, effective immediately.

Please pray for me.



Father John I Jenkins, CSC

Notre Dame is ‘Bad to the Board’

Compromising Irish Throw in the Towel for Poltical Correctness

Before we look at Notre Dame’s Board of Trustees, it is important to look first at their hired gun, the president of the university. Father John Jenkins is affiliated with and supports Pro-Death wickedness.

ND’S PRESIDENT

In a Washington Times editorial, “Booing Notre Dame,” the editor notes ND’s Jenkins involvement in a dubious Pro-Death organization,

“. . .Father Jenkins is a member of the board of directors of Millennium Promise, an organization ostensibly organized to fight poverty. A closer look exposes a darker agenda. One of Millennium Promise's major initiatives is Millennium Villages, a joint project with the United Nations Development Program and Columbia University's Earth Institute that promotes "reproductive rights" as a solution to poverty in the Third World, especially in Africa.

“In a chapter on "Maternal and Child Health" in the June 2008 Millennium Villages Handbook, one of the organization's "core interventions" is listed as "abortion services." The handbook states: "In countries where abortion is legal, safe abortion services in controlled settings by skilled practitioners should be established." To make abortion more accessible in remote areas, the action plan advises that abortion services need to be expanded to the village level. In a subsection of the handbook titled "Quick Impact Initiatives for Gender," one of the "strategic priorities" is to "expand access to family planning and contraceptive information and services." Father Jenkins refused to comment to The Washington Times, but surely he knows that abortion and artificial contraceptives are prohibited by the Catholic Church . . .”

ND’S BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Frank Walker in his PewSitter.com article, "No Likely Support From Notre Dame's Board of Trustees For Rescinding Obama Invite” offers his assessment of the University of Notre Dame’s Board of Trustees and shows why they will not rescind the University’s decision to invite the Pro-Death President to speak at its commencement exercise tomorrow and likewise receive an honorary doctorate degree in law.

“In conclusion, a review of the Board of Trustees at Notre Dame does NOT reveal a particularly strong Catholic identity. There are board members whose actions and associations put them in a position directly at odds with Church teaching and in line with the Obama administration. At the Notre Dame board, we see a group of well-connected well-heeled individuals from all sectors of society, and at the most prominent levels. Taking a stand against inviting the President of the United States would likely jeopardize membership in the elite club where they travel. Therefore it is highly unlikely that there will be any movement from within the board to rescind invitation to President Obama.”

In his article Walker identifies several ND alumni as having corrupt Chicago political ties. Furthermore, Walker categorizes a number of Board of Trustees as follows:

• Those with questionable ethics
• Those supporting immoral policies, and
• Bankers beholden to Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack Obama

Dr. Alan Keyes, who is in a South Bend jail at the protest in South Bend, thought that the protest may turn what was meant for evil (the Soetoro a/k/a Obama visit to Notre Dame) to good (Catholics and Christians who may have voted for Soetoro alias Obama believing that he was Pro-Life now will clearly see, through the protest, that he is truly radically Pro-Death.)

Arresting Development: University of Notre Dame

Hear Their Cry

Hat tip to Coach Dave Daubenmire and his Pass the Salt Ministries, for posting this video (embedded below) for the world to see the gross injustice being perpetrated at one of the most prestigious American universities.

Here is a shocking video capturing what transpired at the protest yesterday (Friday, May 15) in South Bend, Indiana at the supposedly Catholic institution: the arrest of an 83 year old priest, Father Norman Weslin. This gruesome and heart-wrenching atrocity was perpetrated by the Notre Dame police under the auspices of Father John Jenkins, the president of ND. It informs the world of the heights of injustice, immorality and insanity to which the leadership of the ND leadership has risen. The ND administration and Board of Trustees, by their invitation of the most Pro-Death and evil-promoting president in the history of America and perhaps the Western world, thumbs their collective noses at God, righteousness and goodness.



It is outrageous, in the first place, to invite this radical Pro-Death official to a supposedly religious institution to address the graduating class, giving them their marching orders. But ND takes it a step further. It does something that even a secular institution such as Arizona State University refused to do. The ND will bestow an honorary degree to an unaccomplished, godless, leftwing Chicago political establishment produced hack, whose policies are immoral through and through. This is truly beyond the pale.

ND to honor an infidel

Hear Their Cry

The following content is taken from a press release from one of the Pro-Life leaders, who is in South Bend, Indiana protesting the presence of the alleged President Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack Obama's visit to the University of Notre Dame (ND) campus tomorrow (Sunday, May 17) where he will present his teleprompted commencement address to the Class of 2009 graduates as well as receive a grossly undeserved honorary degree. The press release exposes the words of the honorary doctorate of law degree to be given to the current occupier of the White House.

Leaked: Text of Notre Dame's Honorary Doctorate Degree to Barack Obama Given to Randall Terry, Leader of StopObamaNotreDame.com

Contact: Randall Terry, 904-687-9804;

www.StopObamanNotreDame.com

SOUTH BEND, Ind., May 14 Christian Newswire/ --Below are the words of the honorary degree to be given to Barack Obama by Notre Dame.

After that are the words of John Paul II, which show that Notre Dame has contradicted Church teaching by her words and actions. Americans from every stripe will be appalled and embarrassed by the sycophantic tone of this degree.

Here are the words, exactly as given.

TEXT OF THE HONORARY DEGREE

"At the 164th Commencement The May Exercises The University of Notre Dame Confers the degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa, on the 44th president of the United States, whose historic election opened a new era of hope in a country long divided by its history of slavery and racism. A community organizer who honed his advocacy for the poor, the marginalized and the worker in the streets of Chicago, he now organizes a larger community, bringing to the world stage a renewed American dedication to diplomacy and dialogue with all nations and religions committed to human rights and the global common good. Through his willingness to engage with those who disagree with him and encourage people of faith to bring their beliefs to the public debate, he is inspiring this nation to heal its divisions of religion, culture, race and politics in the audacious hope for a brighter tomorrow.

"On Barack H. Obama, Washington, District of Columbia"

Here are excerpts of Evangelium Vitae, penned by John Paul II. Look at how JP II describes "the common good;" this degree shows clearly that Notre Dame is betraying the teaching of the Church, and betraying the human life it is charged to defend. Following that are quotes from Randall Terry and Dr. Alan Keyes.

POPE JOHN-PAUL II

"It is impossible to further the common good without acknowledging and defending the right to life, upon which all the other inalienable rights of individuals are founded and from which they develop... Only respect for life can be the foundation and guarantee of the most precious and essential goods of society, such as democracy and peace." (John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae 101)

"Laws which authorize and promote abortion and euthanasia are therefore radically opposed not only to the good of the individual but also to the common good; as such they are completely lacking in authentic juridical validity. Disregard for the right to life, precisely because it leads to the killing of the person whom society exists to serve, is what most directly conflicts with the possibility of achieving the common good." (John Paul II Evangelium Vitae 72)

RANDALL TERRY

“. . . This degree hovers between juvenile, and of the spirit shown by a teenage girl who is about to throw away her honor with an abusive man. The fact that Obama promotes abortion around the world makes him the adversary -- not the champion -- of the 'global common good.'

"We are begging for a Bishop, or a Vatican official to bring this scandal to an end, and keep Obama from speaking at Notre Dame."

DR. ALAN KEYES

"This idolatrous language confirms the scandalous nature of the invitation and honorary degree being given to Barack Obama; it not only honors evil, it exalts and worships it."

CONCLUSION

“. . . Clearly President Obama's actions to spread child-killing by abortion around the world have shown that he has betrayed the Spirit and the Law of God and the Church."
