I prefer that the bad guys repent and submit themselves to the local authorities for punishment. But that’s a lot to hope for, and it’s too much for a bumper sticker.

As one of Zell’s Angels (traditional Democrat supporting Bush), I find it laughable when certain people claim that Kerry has Bush beat on every social justice issue of interest to Catholics apart from abortion. So I’m happy to see the following website that shows where Kerry fails on a whole bunch of social justice issues of interest to Catholics.

This whole unfortunate incident with [sic.] “Catholics for Free Choice” filing a complaint with the IRS against Catholic Answers’ voting guide has got me thinking. In the heat of the election campaign, I think we Catholics have to pay closer attention to the truthfulness of our statements. For example, many of my fellow Catholics have accused John Kerry of being a flip-flop and of never keeping his promises. Well, what do the facts say?
In a 1984 interview, Kerry promised to vote against “Any restrictions on age, consent, funding restrictions, or any law to limit access to abortion.” (John Kerry As Quoted In “Mass. Senate Candidates Quizzed On Women’s Issues,” Sojourner: The Women’s Forum, 6/30/84)
To the best of my knowledge, Kerry has never broken his word in this regard. For twenty years, Kerry has consistently voted against any legislation that would limit abortion. I have yet to see anyone expose or bring to light an exception. So rather than being a liar and a flip-flop, Kerry has kept his promise when it comes to supporting the barbaric butchery of our children in the womb.

When it comes to thugging our children, Team Kerry/Edwards/Fonda are equal opportunists…
During my frisking of [sic.] Katholics for Dean earlier this year, I stated something to the effect that pro-abort John Kerry was prejudiced against our children in the womb. I now wish to retract this statement. As of last Thursday, the Democrats have proven themselves to be equal opportunists when it comes to thugging our children. Here’s the photo along with the accompanying AP story:

Teresa Heinz Kerry on the hurricane relief efforts:

“Clothing is wonderful, but let them go naked for a while, at least the kids,” said Heinz Kerry, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry. “Water is necessary, and then generators, and then food, and then clothes.”
