Father, you seem very smart but you are convinced Obama didn't have a ghostwriter? Sorry but I don't think so. Also your apparent respect for this man causes me to tune out everything else you may say. God bless.

[wordonfirevideo]

@samspinchat Well, what's your evidence for the claim that he had a ghost-writer? And friend, I respect certain gifts that the President has. Take a look at my most recent video for a sharp critique of him and his policies.

I was pro choice based on the belief that most abortions were the last resort for women with little or no financial means or those who had been victims of sexual assault. Over time, I've come believe that in a global society where most things appear to be commodities, children themselves have become disposable if inconvenient. Partial birth abortions are shocking. With too much to lose, the Democratic party will never do a U-turn on this issue. We need to acknowledge what abortion is.

I hope Obama sees this video

I think that you give Obama way too much credit Father Barron. He is beyond redemption.

[irishmandundalk2]

@grailng I agree. Abortion is an industry and it monetises the life of a child. There is something wrong with a society in which such practices are regarded as an addition to GDP. Higher GDP is supposed to be something positive.

I am from Ireland and I pray that abortion is not introduced here. Unfortunately we have too many Socialists pushing for it here. If it does come to Ireland, we will be a lost nation which has surrendered to satan.

@Nonamearisto I agree, and hopefully this knowledge in him comes up to the surface before is too late for him and for America. That is my prayer intention.

[Nonamearisto]

@rhlogic Obama has been corrupted by Washington. He is not the same man I voted for. He must know deep down inside that the anti-abortion movement is today's analogue for the anti-slavery movement.

[jamaicanification]

or the many scnadals under his watch like the Valerie Plame scandal, the Alberto Gonzales Scandal, and others? I agree completely with Father Barron that Abortion is morally repugnant. But a lot of people act like demonizing Obama and voting Republican is the solution, when some of their moral positions are absolutely repugnant in many cases as well...........

[jamaicanification]

To the people saying Obama is 'wicked', is he more wicked than George Bush who launched an illegal, pre-emptive war in Iraq that resulted in the deaths of 1 million people in terms of total combatant and civilian Casualities on both sides? A war that Pope John Paul ii himself condemned very harshly as an unjust war? Or the fact that bush sanctioned torture in Gitmo, which went against the constitution of the United States?(continued)

Dear Father,

God bless you, now, I dont think Obama is a good politician he is killing the Republic and reaches too far into peoples freedoms. I am able to be a free thinking Catholic because of the Constitution. First the Bible then the Consititution.

Warmest Regards,

Dr Peter Martin

I don't mean this sarcastically but it would be nice if Jesus Christ was here to help us with these issues.

@Yesica1993

How is "WATCH YOUR MOUTH" a threat?? Did I say "Watch your mouth or I'll cut you"? NO. Good try. You fail.

Hypocrite. You call me childish for name-calling, but you called Obama an "Evil Man." Who's the child now?

[Yesica1993]

@FrizzKid05 Watch my mouth or what? Is that a threat? I will most happily report you to YouTube.

Childish name calling and hatred, that's all you have to offer? No refuting of the points I made?
