Special Report Vortex: A Must See

I'll try to get the script for this posted soon [done , but here's the money quote from today's Vortex "Special Report" on the Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare:

...did you happen to notice one curious line in Chief Justice John Roberts reading of the majority opinion? 

Here it is: “It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices." 

If that doesn’t just about sum it all up nicely and neatly, nothing ever will. In short, you people, yes as in WE the People, were gullible enough to elect this megalomaniac to office and all his cronies and thugs who crawled in behind him, so you get exactly what you deserve.

And that is exactly how God works. He cannot save us from the consequences of our choices. 

If he did, He would be unjust and undo His own handiwork – namely our free will. Nope, not gonna happen.

The script:

So the worst of all situations that could happen with Obamacare has happened: the Supreme Court has upheld it as Constitutional; and that, as they say, is the end of that.

But did you happen to notice one curious line in Chief Justice John Roberts reading of the majority opinion?

Here it is: “It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices."

If that doesn’t just about sum it all up nicely and neatly, nothing ever will. In short, you people, yes as in WE the People, were gullible enough to elect this megalomaniac to office and all his cronies and thugs who crawled in behind him, so you get exactly what you deserve.

And that is exactly how God works. He cannot save us from the consequences of our choices. If he did, He would be unjust and undo His own handiwork – namely our free will. Nope, not gonna happen.

When we look at the health care law – Obamacare – what do we have? We have a law that pushes immorality in the form of abortion and contraception, and a rejection of conscience in the  case of Catholic institutions that must now pay for abortion and contraception or close up shop.

How has this happened? That’s easy. Because Catholics in America have been so busy wanting to fit in and wrap themselves in the flag – not just of the stars and stripes, but the flag of social acceptance and political correctness, the banners of non-judgmentalism and tolerance that they have begun to see their faith through the prism of “my country right or wrong”.

The doctrine of “my country right or wrong” may be fine if you’re trying to win the Congressional Medal of Freedom, but if you’re trying to get to Heaven, that’s not the philosophy you wanna have in tow with you when you reach the judgment throne.

Rarely have Catholics in America exhibited the spine needed to fight immoral laws. We have simply gone around and done whatever we could to fit in and confine our fights to ones of liberty or freedom – as if those are some kinds of ends in themselves.

Liberty and Freedom are not ends in themselves: they are the means to be able make the RIGHT choices free of any encumbrances.

When we start thinking of freedom in terms of an American Constitutional ideal, then we have already lost the battle. In America, freedom has become understood as the right to do what you want as long as it’s not a crime or no one is a victim.

Therefore, you should be free to marry who you want regardless of gender; kill your child in the womb; contracept your whole race out of existence…whatever, man.

And the Catholic response to this has been, for the most part, acceptance. The thought of fighting a law BECAUSE it’s evil is pretty much an oddity, with the exception of abortion – and even there, too many Catholics make exceptions.

Huge numbers of Catholics – including members of the ordained class – are simply willing to buy into the absolutely stupid and unsustainable American ideal of plurality and diversity.

We will tolerate all kinds of things – evils enshrined in law – so long as our little piece of turf is carved out and protected. American Catholics have become like Vichy France with the Nazis, and it is a complete abdication of our sworn duty to fight evil.

What is at the heart of this philosophical as well as theological error is the willingness to accept the idea that a multiplicity of divergent views and opinions is perfectly fine… as long as everyone has a place at the table, then that’s fine.

No, it’s not fine.

The Church has a solemn duty to promote the good and the moral and fight things that are bad and immoral to the best of Her ability. But too many leaders in the Church have allowed an atmosphere to develop where evil is not called out and battled, but treated as though it must ALSO be a valid option among many – or at least one that could somehow be compromised with.

Take the whole same-sex marriage thing. The numbers of high ranking clerics and regular clergy who are perfectly comfortable with allowing civil unions while defending traditional marriage is laughable, not to mention disobedient to the Magisterium.

Do they really think that after civil unions are approved of and accepted that the militant homosexual gang is gonna suddenly stop fighting and go back to the gay bar because they were able to strike a nice compromise and get MOST of what they want?

Obamacare is the law of the land today – right along with the HHS mandate requiring Church to pay for State imposed contraception and abortion – because the Church was too willing to compromise and carve out its own little niche and area of self- preservation.

For decades the American hierarchy collectively has played footsy with politicians who are merchants of death and supported them in one cause after another because it fit their self-serving needs.

They have not spoken out against in any real way, nor excommunicated, nor banned from Holy Communion a single Catholic politician who supports child murder or sodomite marriage or contraception as legitimate basis for laws.

They have bargained with them largely because they found common ground in helping each other with the charade of social justice programming and funding. Many bishops have been all too happy to subordinate the corporal works of mercy to the state as long as the state would shovel money their way to administer the programs.

In exchange, they would allow these same politicians to continue trafficking in the name Catholic and thereby help continue their tenures in office. From the 1960s onward, a huge number of bishops and their staffs have been political liberals and have carried the water for Democrats.

What they have failed to realize, even down to today, is that politicians who enshrine evil in lawwill one day turn on them and their moralizing… weak as it is.

Justice Roberts has a very good point: “It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices."

Obamacare is the law of the land today, complete with abortion funding and all its others evils, because 54 percent of Catholics voted this man into office. And that happened because leaders have failed to understand and teach that evil cannot be compromised with, and immoral laws must be fought against on the much more important level of because they are immoral, and NOT because they violate the Constitution.
