Pelosi Asks The Catholic Church To Embrace Immigration Reform

May 12, 2010 by  

Pelosi asks the Catholic Church to embrace immigration reformWhile speaking at the Nation’s Catholic Community conference last week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pleaded with religious leaders to "instruct" their followers to support immigration reform, according to Fox News.

Pelosi, who is Catholic, told the group of sisters, priests and activists that the church will play an important in shaping the future political landscape.

"The cardinals, the archbishops, the bishops that come to me … say, ‘We want you to pass immigration reform,’ and I said, I want you to speak about it from the pulpit," Pelosi told the audience.

"Some [who] oppose immigration reform are sitting in those pews, and you have to tell them that this is a manifestation of our living the gospels," she added.

Meanwhile, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer denied Senator Chuck Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) request last week that she delay the implementation of the state’s new immigration law. Just a day earlier, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security and Refugees asked the governor to hold off on enforcing the law for one year so Congress could work on developing a federal immigration proposal.

    • Phyl

      wow noel…that was a mouthful. and i am sure that would be very hard for all the libs-in-control to swallow.

      • JLC

        Actually Phyl, there are a couple of items there that might be a bit too tough for a conservative to swallow. But it could be a case of “Better a little too much than not quite enough.”

    • Peter

      Just two things. 1. We don’t have enough prisons and I don’t want to feed and house illegals for 25 years. How about we re-instate chain gangs. Let them pay their own way. 2. We have to have diplomatic immunity here because we want to have our diplomats extended diplomatic immunity in other countries. Other than that, vote YES!

      • Kim McGough

        That would have to depend on the crime committed here, and definate, move the un and get out of it, we don’t need it

      • Lewis Munn

        Sell the UN building to the Muslims, and mine the waters between.

    • 45caliber

      There are a couple of things that should be changed. First, limit the jail time to one year for being here illegally. 25 years would require too many prisons which are expensive. But you could make the prisons like the tent prisons of Sheriff Joe in AZ. You should also stop all transfer of cash by any means to another country. You cannot end diplomatic immunity because that would mean our people would lose it in other countries. But it is SUPPOSED to be used only for diplomats so it could be changed to mean that. The border should also be secured – by the military as it is in other countries including Mexico. With orders to stop illegals from entering by any means including shooting as is done in other countries including Mexico.

      But, by and large, this is a good attempt.

    • kilrntex

      Damn, I like your way of thinking. I believe I’ll copy it and send it to everyone on my list. The lines are being drawn and it doesn’t look good for a peaceful solution. They want to keep coming without any limitations whatsoever. On the O’Reilly factor two Mexican immigration activist just kept smiling and talking trash about what the fence and guard would do to prevent the aliens from coming, which would be useless! They pretty much dare us to stop them and let me tell you one thing for sure…. WE WILL one way or another!! Ron Gouchez called for a revolution on the UCLA campus in 2007 against the “frail, racist, white people” who stole their land. Ron, we paid you in full and then some, GO HOME!! Your revolution will not be good for you. There are many Mexican-Americans who are sick of the influx, just as the frail unracist white people are. These people who talk about revolution and open borders are playing with an ugly firestorm that will consume them! Nancy Pelosi has illegals working for her for less than minimum wage, but they have good healthcare for no cost to either of them! She gives Christianity a bad name, but so do many demoncrats. It’s impossible to be a liberal and a Christian. They don’t mix. You don’t make laws to kill babies and live by the Ten Commandments at the same time. What about the separation of church and state these maggots shove down our throats? It’s ok when it suits them. I am not a racist, just a “country loving American” who wants to preserve it for our children’s children. The free rides are over.

  • JC

    If it’s got Pelosi’s name on it, it’s evil.

  • EltonJ

    “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;”

    First Amendment to the Constitution. She doesn’t care about this document. I hope the San Franciscans wake up and see who they have representing them.

  • http://MSN AGD

    I think Pelosi knows very well what she is doing in asking this of the Catholic Church. It is just another Political play on her part in which she see’s it as a win-win situation. Pelosi is NO Christian and not even a good catholic for that matter, according to the books. If the C.C agree’s, she has found a powerful ally. If they don’t agree, then she has a platform to critisize Christianity as a whole, lumping the C.C with all Christians. I look for her to use this as a pole for making the Church appear apathethic to the issue.

  • angel-wanna-be

    What a bunch of BS!__The Liberals do nothing but spew, must have a division of church and state, how convenient now Pelosi, wants the the Bishops to speak from the pulpit on the rights and wrongs of immigration, While SHE CONTINUES supporting Abortion rights!__Oh yeah, trust worthy peelosi. Another don’t do as I do scenario, but do as I say. The Government is only pithing and moaning about Jan Brewer in Arizona, because, she enforced the immigration, law that the Feds, turned a blind eye to. Now the Almighty Administration wants to turnit into a BIG DEAL. It doesn’t matter when this immigration law is enforced or who enforces it, wether its NOW or a YEAR from NOW. Someone, somewhere is going to get hurt and screwed by it and take to the streets, it’s unavoidable. Let’s get it over with now!!! Jan Brewer stick to your guns girl!!

    • http://?? Joe H.

      Angel,
      Amen lady!!! I hope she sticks to her convictions and told her as much. I think if she ran for president right now she could squeek it out!!!

  • Disgusted

    Nothing this woman does surprises me anymore. I can guarantee she will not be voted out of office – she represents California – think about it. She should have been removed from office just for calling the tea party goers “racists and unamerican”. Politicians make me sick. They announced last week that one of our states congressman is stepping down because he is just worn out – well I probably would be too if I had gone into office with a networth of about $500,000 and came out with a networth of about $5,000,000 – that’s a lot of a$$ kissing and back door dealing – I would be worn out too. How does a congressman acrue that kind of wealth on their yearly salary? Makes you wonder! The entire government needs to be given a reality check!

    • angel-wanna-be

      Disgusted, your right, the more looney the politicians are, the longer they stay in office, go figure.

    • http://?? Joe H.

      Look at Gore. He has made over three hundred million since leaving office. A million? That’s chump change!!!

  • jomama

    That no good, scumbag, ugly, eyes-too-close together so she looks like she’s cross-eyed, dirty, old, nasty, smelly (like tuna fish), illegal immigrant screwing, lying BI*CH!! I don’t like her. I don’t like Obama. I don’t like what they are doing.

    Jan Brewer for President!!!

    Viva Arizona!!!

    • JLC

      Jomama, PLEASE leave the name-calling to the other team. I appreciate, and share your feelings but we do not have to stoop to their level. By the way, I am Catholic, and I am just as outraged as you are.

    • kate8

      Aw, come on, jomama. Why not tell us what you really think of her.

      LOL.

    • http://?? Joe H.

      jomama,
      she only looks cross-eyed because of her 10 facelifts!!! If you think that’s bad, don’t look close at her when she’s wearing a low cut shirt. You’ll see her navel!!!

      • Lewis Munn

        My goodness! Has she had her naval lifted that far??

  • Isirio Abelon

    Obviously, the Democrats are protecting the criminals who broke our law, what part of ILLEGAL they don’t understand?. Who are these people running the country. Wow… Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats are aiding and abetting Criminals?, what about the peace loving Americans who abides the law, are you listening to us?. What is happening to the United States?. I think that’s what happen if you put an incompetent people to office. Fellow Americans, do your part on this coming November election, lets clean up the white once again. Thank you. Adios.

  • C Lee

    I keep reading everything I can about whats going on with the polititions in this country today, not protecting our boarders sideing with outsiders against its own citizens screaming about seperation of church and state then directing the church from the white house to preach propoganda to its people. Now I hear that the govt is going to take over the internet just like the commies in china did( maybe since we owe china so much money their ready to collect our souls, thats what happens when you make a deal with the devil) On top of all of this the march by this so called administration to to destroy the very fabric of our constitution is well under way. there are so many things that this band of thieves are doing I could sit here all day and still not list them all so here is my question to anyone who feels they have a solution, how are we going to save our country from those who are on the fast track to destroying it. I keep hearing examples of the destruction but no solutions to stopping it. I am retired so I have lived a fruitfull life.I have faced many things in my life many of them horiffic, and Ive never been afraid. However today I am terrified not for myself because personaly I fear nothing. But truly I fear for my four Beutifull Grandaughters who will be growing up in this to be the former democrocy known as The United States Of America. Does anyone out there have the answer?

    • Barb

      C Lee I too feel exactly as you do! I fear for my granddaughters too and my daughters! There is only one solution I fear and it isn’t pretty and I think it’s what the regime really wants from us so we have to be prepared and very careful before we begin. Hopefully you can read between the lines.

    • angel-wanna-be

      CLEE, all we can do is pray that God shows us mercy, and vote, Above all, We have to remain non-violent to the very end. They haven’t taken Free Speech yet__ God Bless

      • kate8

        Angel, they’ve been working hard at taking free speech. Just look at how political correctness has effectively silenced us on lots of issues.

        This new pick for Supreme Court – I read that she believes it’s okay to curb free speech on certain issues. This is where they are heading.

      • Save America Susie

        If that is where we are headed,God be with us! History has shown that people will only take so much. When Tyranny raises its ugly head, people rise up against it. That’s what caused the 1st American Revolution.

      • JLC

        Hi Kate8 — Elena Kagan on the Supreme Court is like hiring a kid, that has never held a steering wheel, to drive a school bus. According to all the reports that I have seen, she has NEVER had a judging assignment of any kind.

      • JeffH

        Well, she did have an opinion…no military allowed on the HAVAD YHAD!
        The ROTC had to go over to MIT.

      • kate8

        She’s obviously an affirmative action pick. She covers several minorities in one fell swoop. And to top it off, she’s a dedicated socialist.

        The progressives have worked a long time to give overriding power to the SCOTUS. Now they’ll stack it with activists who’ll be there for a very long time. So no matter who controls Congress, they’ll be poised to strike down anything put forth by conservatives.

      • http://?? Joe H.

        JLC,
        I still say that a supreme should have been a judge at one time or another!!!

      • JLC

        Joe H

        Amen!

      • Regina

        Sure they have! Have you noticed who gets face time on TV? Have you noticed what stories are told on the evening news? Have you seen many Republicans shown in a good light? Did you noticed how much of the McCain coverage was limited to gossip and how much was devoted to Obama’s speeches? The media have silenced us. The media have decided that conservatives and republicans do not get to be heard. They drown us out with white noise, diversion, and Paris Hilton. The government doesn’t have to silence us when our voices are not given any coverage. We need to raise up in numbers that cannot be ignored if we want to exercise our freedom of speech.

      • http://?? Joe H.

        Regina,
        Let’s not forget that McCain isn’t much cleaner than the progressives if at all. He has crossed the aisle so many times that there is a well worn path between his seat and the progressives.
        Did you see his border wall commercial?? I laughed so hard I damn near peed my pants!!!

      • Lewis Munn

        IF you really want good, positive suggestions, go to the Citizen Link from Focus on the Family.

        They have many good suggestions on that web page, and reports on things that are working.

    • Lewis Munn

      Read the Bible Carefully.

      It says, “If my people which are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, I will hear from heaven and heal their land.

      I.e. if enough sincere and active Christians humble themselves and pray for God to make our land straight and prosperous again, He will do it.

      We will also have to vote for good people, not necessarily a given party. Ask God for whom to vote, and read the platforms and the data on what the candidates have done.

      I believe God is rthe only one who cn do it, and people need to pray with pure hearts, and those who cn work at cleaning up the evil do so, God will crry out his end of the bargain.

  • horseyguy

    I am a Christian so I am wondering about seperation of Church & State We should be praying for all of them, I’m not saying that we should like what they do ” We can vote them out of office ” God know how they are so lets not call them bad name, that just make the Christian’s look bad. Praise God always. Love Jesus always.

    • 45caliber

      Separation of Church and State basically became something the STATE wants. They want any Christian out of the state’s business. It wasn’t intended to be that way originally. Our Founding Fathers insisted that good Christians should be the ones in office making decisions since they would more likely make decisions based on what is best for the country and not for themselves. But it is a convenient cry when some politician is caught with his hand in the till or in someone else’s pants. The First Amendment does not state there should be a separation of church and state as the politicians want you to think. It states that there shall not be a government church to prevent others from worshipping as they prefer.

      • http://?? Joe H.

        45caliber,
        How much separation of church and state is there when Muslims can pray in a school or state building if they wish? If there are foot baths installed in state colleges? When Muslims can wear their burkahs in school, state buildings, and even court???

      • Lewis Munn

        Absolutely.

        Soon as the government forbids worship, or directs how it may be done, or penalizes you for your religious convictions, we are on a very slippery slope.

        The Dark Ages came from having one and only one Government church.

        We seem to be headed this way; it may be the Green Church. And we worship the sun at the base of a Wind Turbine. And Science and History will be changed to fit. Orwellian style.

  • Paul Z.

    She is one to talk to the Catholic Church. Pelosi is pro-abortion and believes in separation of church and state, except for her political agenda, then anything goes. She is hell bent on one-party rule and socialism and using the church to attain her goal is disgusting. I go to church to pray, not to be indoctrinated.

  • http://www.zeerok.com Luis T

    Not unusual for Pelosi et all to persue the sanctuary set amongst the poor and the sheople. This is pure Saul Alinsky. The church for socialists is just a means to and end. A better example of an apostate couldn’t be more obvious, and Pelosi certainly fits that bill.

  • Robin from Arcadia, IN

    So where is the media on this? No outcry of separation of church and state? And the left wonders why it appears that the media is in their pocket? What an outrage!

    • Barb

      Robin, right on except they don’t appear to be in the Left’s pockets anymore the media now IS OBVIOUSLY in their pockets! Amazing how fast they sold out, sure hope they get to spend their Judas money but I doubt it, Obama will take that from them just like he’s taking everyone’s money!

      • Regina

        Well, not everyone’s money. Did you check out his bailout package when he first took office? Of $870 billion he gave $8.7 billion to planned parenthood. Funny, I didn’t realize they were such an integral part of our economy. He is paying back all his campaign supporters. It’s all a load of crap. I’m with the people who said to vote out all incumbents but the sheep of our country (and those on government assistance) will never do that.

  • Cynthia Wellman

    Not only is she a disgrace to the catholic faith, she is a digrace to our nation as speaker of the house. If Washington did their job, perhaps the state of Arizona would be feeling safer today. My thought about illegal immigrants and those here legally…it is like owning a radar detector for speed tickets..if you aren’t speeding in the first place, you wouldn’t even need it . If you are legally in the states, you shouldn’t have concerns of being asked. If a police officer ever asks me for proof of US citizenship..I would thank him for caring for our nations welfare…which all people of all races & are US citizens should do.. thank him for being concern for our safety and financial welfare. Shame on Pelosi and the Obama adfministration for not supporting the states with such serious immigration concerns..and it is many now.

    • Tony

      Go girl!!

  • S.A. Hillcrest

    Wow, what more needs to be added to the denouncement of Queen Pelosi’s comments except one thing…I am not Catholic, but had the opportunity to rear my daughter with their assistance through Catholic schools and later graduate from a Catholic university. One thing I did learn is when the Sisters speak about things political, look for the twinkle in their eyes. I think inviting her to speak was an excellent set-up by the church to demonstrate her true colors. Well done, folks.

  • Faithbeliever

    What happened to the separation of church and state? I guess to suit her agenda it’s okay. People in this woman’s district should realize what she really is. A hypocrite. Any church that starts to preach what this self centered politician says should lose their non-profit status due to the fact it is promoting her political agenda.

    • 63rdpatriot

      There is NO SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE!!!! That is a flat out lie. All the laws based on this concept are unconstitutional.That is no where in our constitution. That was written in a letter and the context of that was there was to be no state run church like England had. Our forefathers wrote and believed that or government cannot exist without God.

      • Nancy

        You are absolutely right! Our Country’s foundation was based on the Bible. In the 20′s 30′s and 40′s, our History Books were RE-WRITTEN removing our Christian principles and making $$$$ – the economy the focus of our beliefs. How on earth can you RE-WRITE HISTORY!! Again, it was accomplished by a FEW atheists! We need to fight to regain the TRUTH ….. AND KEEP “IN GOD WE TRUST” as our motto!

        Have you noticed what has happened in our schools since THEY removed God…..guns…..do ya thinks He’s mad???

      • Lewis Munn

        I have most noted the compulsory introduction of homosexual “eduction” down to the bottom grades, and the expulsion of even college grad students who have any trace of Christianity.

      • Regina

        Seriously, our constitution says, “Freedom of religion” not “Freedom from religion.” Maybe the leftists could learn to read and actually take a peek at the constitution they say they hold so dear.

  • 45caliber

    Pelousy is a “cafeteria Catholic”. In other words, she picks and chooses which things to believe. For instance, she believes in abortion – something the Catholic Church abhors. She was even told by the Pope himself that abortion is wrong and she ignored him. How the Catholics here can even listen to her, I don’t know. Her only concern about the illegals here is getting them to be Democrat voters. She couldn’t care less about their status in their home countries and she couldn’t care less about the Americans who are out of work and begging for any kind of job to pay their bills.

    • Regina

      It’s all crazy. She wants voters but we want to protect jobs and prevent our taxes from going any higher. Once they come into the country their children have the highest drop out rate (close to 50% now) and end up on welfare further dragging down the economy. This Obama-nation is making me sick. I do not qualify for any of the billions he has spent but my hard-working tax dollars are being shoveled out faster than ever to those who refuse to work. I’m about ready to move to Canada…but the taxes there are crazy too.

  • Ken

    What a disgrace. If this were a Republican asking the church to push their agenda from the pulpit it would be the lead story on ever network news broadcast in the country. Is Fox News now the only place we can go for the truth? I saw the clip and was disgusted. Nancy should be asking the church to pray for her soul because of her stance on abortion. Nancy, you don’t get to pick and choose the parts of the bible you want to support, just because you believe it will help get you more votes. I can’t wait to see this Wicked Witch of the West turn over her gavel and be sent packing.

    The one good thing that I believe will come from this congress and the Obama presidency is the fact that after November 2010 and November 2012 I will never have to see another Democrat controlled congress or another Democrat president running our country. That is if there is a country left after this bunch gets finished with it. We all have seen what you can do and we don’t like it.

    • Pearl Tom

      Please tell me how President Bush improved our country.

      • Lewis Munn

        I think he pointed our why we should never elect a President who has fried his brains in his youth with alcohol, and why we should never elect a VP from the military/industrial complexes, especially at the same time!

        Both together have made a wonderful demonstration of what NOT to do.

        And we are working on another wonderful bad example again.

    Hopefully Pelosi will never step foot in a McDonalds, for she would surely turn into a hamburger. I suprised that she was even able to verbalize such hypocrisy without chocking. I’m am able to continue on in the middle of all this septic environment, for I am convinced GOD will have the last say, and that HE will have it soon if we stand by our convictions, and are not silent.

    I thought the churches were not ALLOWED to instruct their members on political matters??? The churches would lose their exemption status if they preach “political” from the pulpit!!! I hope they do and we need to be prepared to report them to the IRS!! How about that Pelosi?
    I also agree with the above statements that she is no more a Catholic than Obama is a christian. Isn’t it it interesting that he and Michelle have not attended church since the election!!

    • OrlandoRican

      Churches can instruct their members on LIBERAL political matters. This is another example of the double standard that exists in our country – LIBERAL = good; CONSERVATIVE = evil.

      • Time

        Orlando,

        Great point! Good post.

      • Ilse Spaulding

        Oh yeah, you are right. The double standard makes me physically sick! But fear not, God is still in charge here and he will bless his people if they will only turn from evil and maybe this is just the kind of thing to make people realize how wrong they have been.

      • Lewis Munn

        Churches can and many do instruct their members on what their “Book” says, as relates to life and real situations. Even Islaam!

        When you shut of religion and say keep it to the church interior, you are demanding the religions to not affect society, which is contrary to the direct orders in most religions and especially Christianity.

        It is NOT contrary to most churchianity. However, Muslims say to kill or enslave those who will not convert!

  • Richard Nicoletti

    Nancy Pelosi is a Catholic like I’m a gorilla. She embraces nothing that the Catholic church believes. I’m not a Catholic, but I’ve taught in a Catholic school and know that the church is deadly set against abortion, which Nancy Pelosi would love to see the church change its mind about. How dare she say that she is a Catholic. Why because she is registered with a church? If I live in a garage does that make me a car? You are what you believe.

    • Fed Up Gal in NM

      Richard N,

      Great analogy! She spends much of her work life in Congress, so I would say that alone makes her at least a “suspect”.

  • Barb Bokus

    Where does Nancy Pelosi get off requesting anything from the Catholic church? She is pro-abortion. Why would the Catholic church give Pelosi a forum to talk on any subject? How can they still consider her a Catholic? Lot’s of hypocrisy here.

    • Fed Up Gal in NM

      Barb B,

      You’re right on target. I just hope the Catholic church does not cave in on this one.

      • libertytrain

        Fed Up – Remember, the Catholic Church is quite large and worldly and has absolutely no dependence on the US Congress, Senate or President. Whatever the dimwit broad tries to do in her own parish means nothing or if that parish goes against the Mother Church is a different matter. There have always been people everywhere, whether they are politicians, nuns, priests, whomever, that somehow have created a delusion that they are above the laws of the Church or the land – and while the land may waiver now and then, the Church, at least in my lifetime, has been pretty steadfast, i.e. priests can’t marry, abortion is wrong, etc. And I do recall she was severely chastised last year by the Bishop for her stand on abortion.

      • James

        Libertytrain, The law of the land (U.S. law) says abortion is not murder because until one is “born…in the United States” one is not a “citizen” (14th Amendment), and until one is a citizen, s/he has no rights. The Catholic position is that killing a fetus is murder, but our Supreme Court is bound by the U.S. Constitution, not the church. Pelosi is Catholic but she is bound lawfully by the U.S. Consititution which she took an oath to uphold and defend.

      • libertytrain

        I didn’t question that at all so am confused by your reply. Pelosi doesn’t have any right to attempt to use her political “clout” to attempt to “influence” the Catholic Church – whether she claims to be Catholic or not -

    • Tony

      I was born Catholic and just watching what has been happening in the church lately i believe it is conceivable they will endorse BULLosie and the rest of Oscumbo’s liberal/socialist agenda. Unfortunately.

      • libertytrain

        Tony, you are right about the some portion of the Catholic Church in the US may follow Pelosi “Doctrine” but the rest of the world or shall I say the Catholic Church as a whole has no interest in following the Pelosi “Doctrine.” We tend to forget that the US is just a small part of the whole Catholic Church.

  • Barb

    Pelosi is no more Catholic than Obama is a Christian! These libs try so hard to pretend to be Christians and they are far from it! How dare she stand there and demand that the priests tell their parishes how to think and what to do on any subject. The lefties are always screaming SEPARATION of Church and State so what the hell is she doing here? Talk about your mega hypocrites! If Pelosi is a true practicing Catholic then I’m a Monkey’s Uncle! I’m a Catholic and it sickens me to see her talk about my faith and drag it through the sewers like she does. What a lying BIT.. she is. What Gall!!!!!!

    • Colo43

      amen- well said and the truth!

    • OrlandoRican

      Well said. Why doesn’t Mrs. Pelosi ask the Catholic Church to step up their opposition to abortion? Let’s just pray for her. No doubt she will be re-elected. Hopefully the Republicans will gain a majority in the House and we will get a new Speaker. Hopefully!

      • http://aol Isabel Erostegui

        Nancy Pelosi should not use the religious leaders to support her crazy ideas. Mrs. Pelosi what church do you go to?

      • Time

        Isabel,
        I am sure Mrs. PigOsee attends the church of The Holy Self Importance.
        LOL…

      • kate8

        Time, that’s a good one!

        I remember her saying awhile back that her San Francisco diocese was different than the more conventional catholicism. Just being in San Francisco places them on desecrated ground.

      • http://?? Joe H.

        Isabel,
        The church is supposed to teach the word of God not politics. I have said this all my life and I say it now. Church officials: Stick to the word of God not politics of the day!!!

      • Chief Castro

        Dear Joe: To quote Edmond Burke “Evil only triumphs when good men do nothing”. W have lost a lot of our freedom because we stayed out of politics, guess what politics have not stayed away trom the churches, they have tried to muffle discent by using the so called wall of separation, but when they need help to further their agenda they use anything and anybody, I spent most of my adult life opposing oppressive goverments all over the world and I be dammned if I let them take over my country without a fight!!! WAKE UP!!!

      • Lewis Munn

        However, the Word of God applies to politics as well as any other life activity.

        If politics is good, it will agree with the statements in the Bible on conduct, and if she is good her actions will be in full conformance with what Jesus said and directed.

      • AZ

        How will we get a new Speaker if she is re elected as you say? Should you not have said “not re elected.”?

      • Barb

        AZ, San Franciscans will more than likely continue to vote Pelosi in unfortunately. What we need is to have a landslide vote in November and get the majority of Conservatives in the house then Pelosi could not be speaker any longer because her party would no longer be in power! It would be a WIN, WIN situation to say the least!

      • Mike

        AZ is a conservative state, they are not going to vote a lib into office.

      • Time

        Mike – PigOsee is from Calie, not AZ.

      • Beepster

        IF, by a long shot, the Repubs gain control of the house, she will no longer be Speaker. Realizing where she’s from, there’s a 99% chance she will be re-elected. Socialists vote for socialists.

      • Stan B

        If plastic face is re-elected, I’m moving out of the USA, her, and Harry boy, and CHUCKY SHUMAR are the three biggest progessive commies, and Obumma the MUSLIN, should be tried for treason…..

      • http://aol wayne a

        she said hopefully the rep. will win back enough seats in the house,if they do she will not be the majority speaker of the house any longer,it would be a republican.

      • angel-wanna-be

        Orlandorican, thats right, God says pray for enemies first!

    • CJ

      It is beyond belief how one group (left wing) can continuously use dual standards and nobody is heard speaking against it. Although Pelosi’s act is not against the Constitution’s intended purpose of the 1st Ammendment, it slaps in the face of their interpretation. She should have just asked the church to consider giving up God and recognizing a worldly common power (her maybe) instead. Where did these people get power to silence truth and persuade people to discount common sense? How have people become so gullible?

      • Fed Up Gal in NM

        CJ,

        I agree with you. Sad to say, but many people seem to be willing to vote the devil him (or herself) in, when they think there’s something in it for them. Granted, there are exceptions…but for the most part Conservatives are typically blasted by the Left for being steadfast in their beliefs….when those criticizing the conservatives sit in the same churches and pretend while in church…then go into public with their cronies and do or say exactly opposite of what they just supposedly prayed about. The only thing that seems pretty obvious is that they must be willing to “fit in” at any and all costs. I think I would have more respect for them if they were just honest and open….regardless of whether I would agree…at least they would be honest then.

      • James

        CJ, Confusion arises from the long-time basic belief that all humans had a common origin (Adam and Eve) or the oldest know human discovered (the Black African ‘Eve’). With this common-origin belief, it’s only natural that one would want “immigration reform.” What they mean by that is the dissolution of all national borders and all racial barriers between mankind. As long as this common origin thinking prevails, further interracial mixing is inevitable.

    • Pearl Tom

      You say your are a Catholic (Christian) and then you call her a Bit….
      Interesting.

      • Lewis Munn

        You have some confusion there. Catholics and Christians are two different peoples and two different philosophies. Two different religions.

        Christians follow the New Testament of the Bible as necessary and sufficient to know God. Catholics put Mary, and the pope, and several other saints between man and God, contrary to Christian beliefs.

        Catholics say you pray to Mary, or a saint, but Christians pray to God Himself, not a lesser created being.

        Catholics say men, priests, can forgive sins; Christians say only God can forgive sins. Catholics usually make money for forgiving sins, while Christians say there is no charge because God does it, not men!

        Oodles more differences, but they are NOT the same and the Pope speaks for Catholics only, not for Christianity.

        Please do not confuse the two!! Note the Catholics have to have a Bible translation much later than the Christian Bible, and containing texts of less certain origin to support their faith and practices.

        Those who call the two faiths one are simply not correct.

      • libertytrain

        While I can appreciate your opinion – I must say, in all my years, I don’t recollect ever being told a Catholic has to pay money for confessing his sins — wherever did you get that fable from?
