Early Peek: New Faith-Based Climate Bill Online Ad

US News & World Report should look closer into who funded this new website and "initiative" Day Six.
This campaign is a front for the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank with close ties to the Obama administration. Its leader is John Podesta, former chief of staff for President Bill Clinton.
How is it a front? Here are the trail of connections:
- Day Six is a project of the blog Faithful America
- Faithful America is itself a project of Faith in Public Life
- Faith in Public Life, as indicated on its http://tinyurl.com/2007TaxReturn , is fully funded by the Center for American Progress (CAP).
People should know that CAP is a group that advocates reproductive rights, gay marriage and other social views considered extreme. What these organizations release is little more than left-wing propaganda, however they dress it up.

what is sad about this is that all of the discussion about climate change thus far on the "tree hugging" end is about PEOPLE. it's about people living in the developing world, prone to famines and droughts, etc. and it's about people here...set to be underwater on our coasts in a little while...
when did the blue staters take PEOPLE out of the equation. if this were just about "the earth" as an isolated system, then NO ONE would care. there are so few people who care even now.
no, this is not about the "tree-hugging" approach of the liberals. it is the red state's refusal to listen to both sides, even when their lives are on the line.

Donna speaks for all Prolifers. She respects Ban=Abortion law that says abortion is a sin, punished by excommunication & Hellfire. But Christ told people that when they accept Him, he does something marvelous. He instantly & personally forgives their sins--past, present & future. They're sure to go to Heaven & be with the Saints. I hope that's comforting for Prolife men & women when doctors tell them their conception has a genetic disease, is deformed, or otherwise imperfect. Will they go full term or lovingly let that conception go back to God, as part of his unknown but Perfect Plan? Imagine you have a neighbor, wed to a cruel, abusive man. Everyone knows he beats her & their children. She's pregnant again. Would you be able, in this particular case, to advise her to abort, or divorce or be sterilized? I comment because we live in the Land of the Free. To me, that means the Constitution comes first. Church law has authority over congregations who accept it, but it must never be enforced against all Americans.

Moore & all Prochoicers work to reduce poverty with its suffering. We do it by trying to reduce popuiation worldwide. How do we do that? We demand that our civil government must not use taxes to enforce church laws that ban abortion. We do it because tax[payers suffer when we're forced to pay welfare, ADC. food stamps, free med care & subsidized housing for poor unwed moms and poor Big Families. We know poor kids don't go to college to prepare for high-wage work. They become part of the vast army of cheap labor. It waits at gates of factories & bosses know they can pay even starvation pay. When they're too poor, people go the welfare line for checks. Donna says we "kill the unborn." But there are many arguments FOR abortion..Bone disease, kidney disease, heart disease, etc. See "Osteopathology, phrenology, cardiology," etc. Some women are too old or too young to safely be mothers. It is merciful & kind to protect women from risks of pregnancy. Prolife deprives women of choice. Palin had no choice when she conceived, because she previously let everyone know she's Prolife.

I believe Michael Moore falls under the heading "Progressive religious." Almost nuff said!
Facts. I want facts. I don't want to hear sob stories about the world's most vulnerable people. Apparently progressives don't count the unborn people as vulnerable - even though the #'s killed daily are staggering. The current climate bill legislation is HORRENDOUS!! How on God's green earth -haha- is this bill going to help vulnerable people? Would you progressives PLEASE start connecting the dots of your actions and quit living in your emotional utopia?? This bill, as it is now, will CRUSH the U.S. economy - Obama QUOTE: "Your electricity rates will necessarily skyrocket." Guess what happens to jobs, the poor and middle class (the most vulnerable according to progressives) once that happens????
The government cannot feed for free, house for free, medically provide for free for over half of our country. It's physically impossible. What do you think desperate people will do to feed their children or themselves?? Progressives don't have compassion; they are a dangerous threat to humanity and our way of life.
