Obama is a joke. He thinks he is a Dictator instead of a President. He is messing with our 2nd Amendment rights and we are not happy!

Well, that is not going to go down well with the right-wing, conservative Irish-American crowd.

I wonder what they think about his third term abortion policy.

Once again, the Catholic leaders go to the throne of King Herod and bow in submission. TheVatican is afraid to confront the incumbent over extreme abortion policies so they assuage any positive vibes at all to infratiate their with the extreme left wing government. The same thing happened with Mussolini and Hitler. I wonder how that worked out!

Banning guns makes about as much sense as banning Priests to save the altar boys.

Banning military assault weapons of mass destruction is a cause all religions can and should join. The Vatican and other religious leaders who have made this public plea/prayer for sensible gun control laws are to be commended.

Ironic how this is newsworthy when it suits your Liberal agenda! Since when does IrishCentral care what the Vatican thinks or praises... give me a break!
