If you wonder if there is any limit to the anti-Catholicism of pro-abortion "Catholic" politicians, you should try to get your arms around this story.
Yesterday, Martha Coakley, the Democratic candidate for Ted Kennedy's Senate seat, was asked in a radio interview whether doctors and nurses working in a hospital emergency room have religious freedom. Coakley replied, " You can have religious freedom, but you probably shouldn't work in the emergency room."
No, I didn't make this up. The radio host, Ken Pittman, was asking her about her perspective as a "Catholic" on issues like birth control. Coakley immediately went with her dissenting, reflex reaction of insisting on a "separation of Church and State." The conversation descended from there into the pit of puerile anti-Catholicism.
If politicians like Coakley are put in charge of "health care reform," the day may come when orthodox Catholics will be excluded from any medical services where they might decide not to provide an abortion, prescribe contraception, or euthanize a suffering patient.
Our country needs to wake up and realize the centrality of attitudes like Coakley to the entire health care debate! Coakley's attitude is representative of dissenting Catholics in Congress from Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) to Senator Mikulski (D-MD) to Rep. DeLauro (D-CT).
It was only a short while ago Pelosi was lecturing us, in good ninth-grade fashion, on how the Church's teaching on abortion was a denial -- yes, I said a "denial," of free will.
Please, please realize it's as bad as it appears to be -- there are no excuses for this kind of ignorant comments. After all, Martha Coakley is the attorney general -- imagine that! -- of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Doesn't that position require some modicum of detachment from one's own personal prejudices?
Coakley's willingness to use her political power against orthodox Catholics serving in the medical profession should be a wake-up call.
Martha Coakley thought she had it made. Go Scott! Goooo!!!
Please pray for Scott Brown and a LANDSLIDE which no one can tinker with. They are talking now about how long it will take to count the absentee ballots after the election, and, those of the military. There is talk of moving the seating of the new senator up until AFTER the health care vote.
Scott asked the President not to come to Massachusetts and interfere in our election.
Also Marth Coakley spelled the name of our state wrong on a sign. LOL Howey

If Martha wins, she'll be seated within 48 hours as was the predecessor. If Brown wins; with challenges, recounts and court cases in Massachusetts as well as delayed acceptance by the Democratically-controlled Senate, he'll be lucky to be seated by election time next November.

While riding the excercise bike, I tuned in to Fox News with the volume off this morning. I found out that Obama will be campaigning for Coakley tommorow.
Therefore, I predict that Brown's challenge is a complete facade engineered by Big Media to show that the country really does want National Healthcare and generally supports Obama's broader initiatives. Coakley will win by 5 to 6 points. There is no way that Obama is going to be left looking the fool when he went to pitch the Olympics last October.
I don't know Gloriosae Dominae. I think there is a good chance that the Republican, Scott Brown, can pull off the upset. That Coakley just doesn't seem to be too bright. Perhaps you didn't see this video I posted in another column:

He looked like a fool in New Jersey and Virginia this past November when he campaigned for the Dem Governor candidates, both of whom lost. Obama continuously makes himself look like a pathetic fool, and if trends are any indication, him showing up to campaign seems to be the kiss-of-death to the candidate.
When Obama shows at the Mass. rally for Coakley, Brown supporters should go there, cheer him on and thank him for his help.

I've been very much a follower of the political scene for many years now. I can say without reservation that Coakley's campaign is, hands down, the most disastrous I've ever witnessed. Daily, or often several times daily, she does something to infuriate entire vast constituencies - Catholics, hockey fans, 911 victims, journalists, liberals - you name it.
Not only is she "not too bright" as you point out, but the woman is an arrogant, elitist, abrasive shrew who is the personification of everything that's wrong with American politics.
Her opponent Brown is certainly nobody I'd pick as my first choice, but for so many reasons, on so many levels, this wench absolutely MUST lose this election.

I think it was Senator Al Franken who said, "You know, comrades, I consider it completely unimportant who will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this — who will count the votes, and how." In Massachusetts, Democrat officials and, if necessary, judges do the counting. _________________ Adrian, how did everything that was so good get so bad?

The bluest of the blue states elected a Republican senator for a Kennedy seat!
