OBAMA

Reality Awaits Obama
Utopian fantasy is the underlying principle of President Obama's foreign policy.
It is Freudian foreign policy. Remove their fears, and their hostility will disappear.

Fr. Samir: Obama on Islam pleases, but there are some lies and silences

Obama, Notre Dame and Islam
At Cairo, Obama had to reach out to Muslims whose religion he admires but who tend to extremist positions (jihad) that he rejects. At Notre Dame, Obama had to reach out to Catholics whose religion he admires but whose positions (the right to life) he rejects. The two speeches he gave had some surprising similarities.

3 Things Obama Didn't Say
Obama told his Muslim audience: "[W]e must say openly to each other the things we hold in our hearts and that too often are said only behind closed doors." Hmmm … here are three things he didn't seem to want to say openly in Cairo

Common Ground vs. Dialogue
Benedict wants religions to acknowledge their differences in search of truth. Obama wants them to acknowledge their sameness in search of peace. Obama is very cleverly, with fine intentions, proposing relativistic secularism as the world's common ground.

The Not So Golden Mean 
The trouble is that Obama's approach at times distorts history and mistreats our closest allies. The President's Cairo speech begins with a discussion of tension between the United States and Muslims around the world But if you read Obama's text carefully, you will come away with the impression that one side in particular -- the United States and the West -- is much more at fault than the other.

LIFE ISSUES

An Epidemic, Delayed
Technological advancements have afforded many benefits to the pro-life cause.
But medical technology has had some negative effects, too, especially for unborn babies with disabilities. A mother's womb is already the most hazardous place on earth for a baby. It won't be long before it becomes a death chamber for almost all babies with disabilities in England.

MORE RESPONSE TO TILLER KILLING

Pruning the Narrative of Murder
Christianity holds that all human life is precious, and because God became man in Jesus, holy. But to jump from that to the conclusion that anyone who dies in church has lead a life of heroic virtue is to tumble down a rabbit hole into a wonderland where the meanings of words like "martyr" and "saint" fade faster than the body of Lewis Carroll's Cheshire Cat.

Tiller's missing excommunication
