Bishop Compares Obama to Hitler and Stalin

Bishop Daniel R. Jenky of the Catholic diocese of Peoria, Illinois, likened President Obama to Adolf Hilter and Joseph Stalin, along with past French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau and German chancellor Otto von Bismarck, on Sunday while condemning Obama’s “radical, pro-abortion and extreme secularist agenda.” He said that Catholics in America are in a “war” as a result of the administration’s mandate for religiously-based institutions to cover contraceptives, and compared politicians who back the mandate to Judas Iscariot.

Can these people go more than a day without comparing our President to Hitler?

As for that cult......church, if evil exists, they are it.
THAT church, along with the born agains do not give a damn less about anything but the private lives of others.
There are many injustices in the world and all we hear from this filth is about their need to control our personal lives.

The Roman Catholic Church:
-Destroyed the library at Alexandria
-Destroyed the Mayan texts (which demonstrated great advancement during a time where it did not exist in most places)
-Persecuted non-Catholics during the inquisition
-Perpetuated ethnic cleansing of the European Jewish population during the middle ages, which would explain -->
-Signed a concordat with Adolf Hitler/The Third Reich
-Systematically raped young children and covered up the crimes
-Had the death a progressive Pope (Albino Luciani) under highly suspicious circumstances
-Laundered money for the mafia

Obama even though he's been dead for more than 100 years. Bismarck was the father of the modern welfare state and universal health care. Which is certainly more than this apparatchik in the Cult of the Red Beanie (tip of the hat to Esquire's Charlie Pierce) has ever accomplished.

Campaigning against a candidate should result in a loss of tax-free privileges for the entire Diocese. Make it so, IRS.

This is bullshit.

That would require a federal agent putting a bullet through his head and dropping his corpse in a ditch, but at least that would save him from the eternal damnation for mortal sin his own proclaimed 'faith' prescribes as appropriate for those malicious souls who bear false witness against others.

For crying out loud, they act like they are the only people in the world. No one is forcing a Catholic to buy birth control or get an abortion, so the hyperventilating of these guys is just so pathetic. The hell with them...of course I said that to my priest back in 1970 when he told me I couldn't take the pill...


On Edit: Is that old freak wearing lip-stick?

If they want to be partisan they lose their tax free status! The enforcement of this one rule would do a lot to tone down these insane theists.

Yes, I said insane.

Fuck 'em. Tax them.
