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.
That's just sad. Oh and by the way Stalin and Hitler were by and large opposed to abortion. Just wanted to bust that right wing myth. Not that it makes abortion opponents anything like those two but I am sick of hearing that Stalin and Hitler were for legal abortion. They weren't.
He is NUTS. Where are the other Bishops on this sort of comment?
They are wherever the GOP is on Nugent.
It's sad, I used to have a modicum of respect for the Catholic church. Now I don't have respect for Catholics (not only because of this article either).

Stalin prohibited abortion, period. (Well, maybe with exceptions for life of mother, etc. - I don't know.).
For Hitler abortion only mattered with "Aryans". With "Uebermenschen" it was sometimes even encouraged.
I don't know so much about abortions, but I certainly know that the Nazis didn't care whether they killed pregnant Jews or Roma. Also, forced sterilization of mentally disabled people, Roma, and "rhineland bastards" (offspring of Germans or whites and French soldiers from colonial Africa [i.e. black]). Oh, and death sentences for race mixing (usually between Jews and Germans).
Come to think of it, there must have been standard procedures to "deal with" unwanted pregnancies from brothels set up by and for the Wehrmacht as well as from the brothels in concentration camps. Not to mention the thousands of cases of rape by German soldiers, especially in the Soviet Union.

Linda Harvey Likens Gay Acceptance among Youth to Believing the Sun Revolves the Earth Mission America’s Linda Harvey yesterday attacked the College Republican National Committee for acknowledging that the GOP’s anti-gay stances were alienating young voters, who overwhelmingly support gay rights, and asking the party to “welcome healthy debate on the policy topic at hand.” She compared such a move to a science teacher ...
As a child, I didn't understand most of the midnight phone calls to my mom, or the times women would come over with children in tow, sometimes even in pajamas, and I would be told to go entertain them while Mama ensconced herself in her bedroom with their mother. Once, my mom spotted a bruised woman with three children holding a cardboard sign in ...
n an effort to show how weak our food-stamp programs are, 26 members of Congress have decided to reduce their grocery budgets to $4.50 per day, the going rate for recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Accordingly, the feat has been named the "SNAP Challenge," and is essentially a way for these 26 Democratic representatives to publicize how poor the availability of ...
Yesterday, shortly after I posted a column on Secretary of State John Kerry's push to have the White House approve U.S. strikes on Syrian airfields -- and how Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Martin Dempsey pushed back strongly against the idea -- I heard from a number of people who support Kerry's stance and think that the Pentagon is being unnecessarily timid. 2. For ...

Rep. Marsha Blackburn, tapped by Republican leadership to be the face of their new abortion ban legislation, comes up with a new--and completely bizarre--argument in favor of the legislation: REP. MARSHA BLACKBURN (R-TN): The bill has been amended. It does allow exceptions for rape and incest and the life of the mother, and that was the appropriate step to take. CRAIG MELVIN (MSNBC ANCHOR): ...

Earlier this year, the Republican National Committee released a 100-page report detailing how the GOP needed to retrofit its agenda and soften its tone. But if Republican officials had wanted to save time, they could have issued a shorthand summary that read: Be less like Steve King.

Reuters: But even the press in aggregate is not a friend to whistle-blowers, as its recent treatment of Snowden attests, what with the deep dives into his teen years (including photos), his education and employment history, his reputation as a loner and a “brainiac,” his pants-down hijinks, his online scribblings, his dancer girlfriend, his predilection for (in his own words) “post-coital Krispy Kremes.” Squeezing ...
