The Lying Worthless Political Hack, a/k/a Nancy minority leader of the House, has never been noted for either intellectual or verbal coherence but she outdid herself in her response to a question by John McCormack of The Weekly Standard:
THE WEEKLY STANDARD: Madam Leader, you mentioned the bill that passed out of the House Judiciary committee. Members who have proposed that bill have done that in the wake of this murder trial in Philadelphia. They argue that there really isn’t much of a moral difference between what someone like Dr. Gosnell did to infants born at 23, 24, 25 weeks into pregnancy, and what can happen [legally] at a clinic down the road in Maryland where a doctor says he’ll perform an elective abortions 28 weeks into pregnancy. So the question I have for you is what is the moral difference between what Dr. Gosnell did to a baby born alive at 23 weeks and aborting her moments before birth?
PELOSI: You’re probably enjoying that question a lot, I can see you savoring it. [Laughter in press corps] Let me just tell you this.
TWS: Could you answer the question?
PELOSI: Let me just tell you this. What was done in Philadelphia was reprehensible and everybody condemned it. For them to decide to disrespect a judgment a woman makes about her reproductive health is reprehensible. Next question.
TWS: So what’s the moral difference? I just asked a simple question. … What’s the moral difference then between 26 weeks elective abortion and the killing of that same infant born alive. This is the issue that they’re trying to–
PELOSI: This is not the issue. They are saying that there’s no abortion. It would make it a federal law that there would be no abortion in our country. You’re taking the extreme case. You’re taking the extreme case. And what I’m saying to you what happened in Philadelphia was reprehensible. And I do not think you.
TWS: [Inaudible]
PELOSI: I’m not going to have this conversation with you because you obviously have an agenda. You’re not interested in having an answer.
TWS: [Inaudible]
PELOSI: I’ve responded to you to the extent that I’m going to respond to you. Because I want to tell you something. As the mother of five children, my oldest child was 6 years old the day I brought my 5th child home from the hospital, as a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this. I don’t think it should have anything to do with politics. And that’s where you’re taking it and I’m not going there.
TWS [after tape ends]: It was a simple question. You didn’t answer.
Go here to The Weekly Standard to read the rest. The truth of course is that for The Lying Worthless Political Hack, her only “sacred ground” is abortion. She is in favor of it so long as the child is within the womb, and I have absolutely no doubt that in defense of a “woman’s right to choose” that she has no problem with infanticide, or as she would probably label it, retroactive abortion. The only difference between her and Kermit Gosnell is that he makes no pretense of being a Catholic and therefore spares us, in Lincoln’s phrase, “the base alloy of hypocrisy”. If one wants to know what is wrong with the Church in America, one has to only ask why this “Catholic” abortion uber alles disgrace wasn’t excommunicated decades ago.
If only Dante could have witnessed this and incorporated American left-wing politicians into the Inferno.
She knew she was caught and brought out her pat answer. “I’m more qualified to speak on this because I have children. This issue is not political.” I thought TWS made it clear they wanted to know the moral difference, not the political difference.

Alphatron,
I apologize that I disagree. Dante would not have wasted ink or rhyme on such a nitwit, be she ere so vile.

The failure of the bishops to take action against politicians like Pelosi and friends is absolutely reprehensible. What are the bishops afraid of? What do they think will happen if they excommunicate people like Pelosi, Biden and Sebelius? I know there are certain procedures that have to be followed under canon law, but enough is enough. Time to start dropping the hammer on these clowns.
“If one wants to know what is wrong with the Church in America, one has to only ask why this ‘Catholic’ abortion uber alles disgrace wasn’t excommunicated decades ago.”
Jesus said to the Church at Thyatira:
But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and beguiling my servants to practice immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols. I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her immorality. Behold, I will throw her on a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her doings; and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches shall know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you as your works deserve. [Revelation 2:20-23]
And the prophet Ezekiel writes concerning shepherds who don’t protect the flock:
The word of the LORD came to me: “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say to them, even to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord GOD: Ho, shepherds of Israel who have been feeding yourselves! Should not shepherds feed the sheep? You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the fatlings; but you do not feed the sheep. The weak you have not strengthened, the sick you have not healed, the crippled you have not bound up, the strayed you have not brought back, the lost you have not sought, and with force and harshness you have ruled them. So they were scattered, because there was no shepherd; and they became food for all the wild beasts. My sheep were scattered, they wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill; my sheep were scattered over all the face of the earth, with none to search or seek for them. “Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD: As I live, says the Lord GOD, because my sheep have become a prey, and my sheep have become food for all the wild beasts, since there was no shepherd; and because my shepherds have not searched for my sheep, but the shepherds have fed themselves, and have not fed my sheep; therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD: Thus says the Lord GOD, Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and put a stop to their feeding the sheep; no longer shall the shepherds feed themselves. I will rescue my sheep from their mouths, that they may not be food for them. [Ezekiel 34:1-10]
The whirlwind is coming.
“The failure of the bishops to take action against politicians like Pelosi and friends is absolutely reprehensible. What are the bishops afraid of?”
I think a certain number are not afraid. Some are so blinded by a false sense of social justice that they tolerate Pelosi in the hopes of moving forward what ultimately is a false agenda.
Unfortunately, I also think there are some who believe as Pelosi does.
T Shaw, unfortunately only the nitwits are in power- the cream of that crop. The lowest of the low.
We have them here on Australia, except our Prime Minister, a woman (if you call her that) is using the abortion card as a desperate last minute attempt to gain popularity before the september election. What a vile breed of ruling class we have today. As a woman, I fume when I her her talk of representing the “woman” view.
Politician or not, I can’t think if anything but what low life’s these people are. And ridiculously illogical, manipulative and completely untrustworthy. But,
God is Just and He sees all….
Come on, T Shaw. Surely you must be curious as to what punishment might be dreamed up for these hacks? Okay, maybe Dante wouldn’t touch it, but perhaps the made-for-TV version can incorporate them. The trouble is, where do you stick them? They could end up anywhere from fourth to the ninth circle.
I’d put her (Wilson, FDR and thousands) and all progressives down (lowest level) with Brutus, Cassius, and Judas. They’re ruining the Constitution/Republic, which is (as Dante saw the Roman Empire; Ciardi notes/Paradiso: The Eagle – divinely ordained worldly arm to advance Christendom) fundamental to God’s plan for human happiness.
Satan will require a fourth, massive maw.
Still, Pelosi may get a “pass” from St. Peter for “diminished capacity.”
“Satan will require a fourth, massive maw.”
I think that will be enough speculation along those lines.
Nancy mis-spoke. She was trying to say (…this is satanic ground to me.)
She had a Freudian slip….deep in her heart she wants to worship and serve the Sacred.
Her confusion is the norm. Just ask uncle Joe.
By the way where’s the other catholic J.Biden?
There isn’t much there there, and perhaps there never was.
Well in that case I would like a pass for stupidity every now and then. Except my stupidity doesn’t affect laws that kill innocents in their hundreds and thousands…
I honestly think that Biden is secretly a robot programmed by the CIA. The man never sounded nor resembled a human to me.
The mind boggles how someone so idiotic and stale could be the Vice President of The United States of America. I’m still waiting for the memo from DC to come out that says it was all a prank! And that Nancy Poop-head Pelosi had a face transplant.
Oops better be careful cause your government is secretly downloading these blog comment for their surveillance. Then again, maybe thats a good thing- those nitwits will get the note about how useless they are. One comment at a time…
Sarcasm aside; the hypocrisy that Nancy, Joe and pro-abort catholics have embraced is frightening. May I find the humility to pray for them, and stop looking for ways to jab them.

It is essentially an appointive position. If you run down the list of Barack Obama’s cabinet secretaries, the quasi cabinet positions in the executive chamber, and the ten most consequential free-standing agencies, you find his corps of senior appointments amounts to about 45 individuals. About five came out of the business world (one of whom was held over from the previous administration). You have four soldiers, around three from the science and engineering trade, a couple of economists (one held over from the previous administration), a non-practicing architect, a foundation executive, and a career spook (held over from the previous administration). The majority are politicians, congressional staff, or (politically-connected) lawyers. He prefers the company of people who are as vapid as he is.
Ah, so morality has no place in politics? From the same congresswoman who begs upon our conscience to “serve” the poor through corrupt bureaucracies that engage in the targeting of political opponents and privileging political friends and that rarely ever actually help the poor.
I am beginning to believe that this woman has never had a rational thought. Twisted, twisted, twisted!
I hope everyone who made a comment on this thread has their tax records in order. The IRS is coming to audit you.
Fear the consequences of remaining silent when the stench of rotting injustices fills your nostrils. Otherwise the walk to the gulag will be shameful for you.
Politics are essentially coercion and deceit.
“I hope everyone who made a comment on this thread has their tax records in order. The IRS is coming to audit you.”
A few months ago that would have been paranoid. Not so much now.
“I hope everyone who made a comment on this thread has their tax records in order. The IRS is coming to audit you.”
Right now, I feel like a brawl. I’d even look forward to it.
Donald, you respect and revere the Law. These people have no respect, no reverence for the Law. They play beneath the Law, holding it in disdain, contempt and disgust. So personally, I hope you never get in any such brawl, legal or physical.
Since the death of my son Paul, I am ready for a fight, and I have been involved in a few during the course of my career.
Then I will put you on my Rosary.
That I appreciate Paul!
“Asked what the moral difference is between what Dr. Kermit Gosnell did to babies born alive and aborting those same infants moments before birth, Pelosi refused to answer. ”
“I’ve responded to you to the extent that I’m going to respond to you. Because I want to tell you something. As the mother of five children, my oldest child was 6 years old the day I brought my 5th child home from the hospital, as a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this. I don’t think it should have anything to do with politics. And that’s where you’re taking it and I’m not going there.”
Working the press room for points in truth-twisting and unkindness.
I remember that Mr. McClarey posted an excerpt from a book about Pelosi that described her family’s political history in Baltimore. He was a Democrat crook – in Baltimore, a common occurrence then and now.
Pelosi says stupid things every time she opens her mouth because she gets away with it.
AMEN to your comments about this devil!! Why has she NOT been excommunicated??
Hasn’t she been told not to present herself for the Eucharist?
Barbara
Excommunication is a penal sanction imposed by a judge (or declared to have been incurred, in the case of automatic excommunication [latae sententiae])
As then Cardinal Ratzinger’s 2004 Memorandum made clear, refusal of the Eucharist under Canon 915 “is not a sanction or a penalty. Nor is the minister of Holy Communion passing judgment on the person’s subjective guilt, but rather is reacting to the person’s public unworthiness to receive Holy Communion due to an objective situation of sin.”
The two should be carefully distinguished. This is clear from Canon 915 itself: “Those who have been excommunicated or interdicted after the imposition or declaration of the penalty and others obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to holy communion.”
I would not hold Thomas d’Alessandro, Jr. responsible for his daughter’s offenses. Maryland had a (comparatively) lousy political culture prior to about 1975, but I think it was generally abuses of the take – bribes – shakedown – city – contractors – stick- your – cousins – and – your – clubhouse – clients – in – no – show – city jobs sort. It is difficult to believe that papa d’Alessandro would have dirtied himself with dealings with Planned Parenthood. Pelosi’s career as an elected official post-dates her father’s death.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle!
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the Divine Power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spiritis that roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
PS – that includes the ones whose claws are firmly sunk into the souls of those who promote ideas contrary to the Will of God in our government.
Amen.
(Matthew 4:8-11; Mark 1:12-13; Luke 4:1-13): The Devil took Jesus atop a high mountain and showed Him all the World’s kingdoms in their splendor. “All of this I will give you,” said Satan, “if you kneel down and worship me.”
“Nuff said.
