ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
NBC has rejected a anti-abortion ad submitted for its Super Bowl broadcast. After several days of negotiations, an NBC representative in Chicago told CatholicVote.org today that NBC and the NFL are not interested in advertisements involving "political advocacy or issues."

Brian Burch, President of CatholicVote.org reacted: "There is nothing objectionable in this positive, life-affirming advertisement. We show a beautiful ultrasound, something NBC's parent company GE has done for years. We congratulate Barack Obama on becoming the first African-American President. And we simply ask people to imagine the potential of every human life."

The ad reads: "This child's future is a broken home. He will be abandoned by his father. His single mother will struggle to raise him. Despite the hardships he will endure...this child...will become...the 1st African-American President." The ad concludes with the tagline, "Life: Imagine the Potential." The ad is the first of several ads in new campaign launched by CatholicVote.org.
Dennis Trainor, Jr has worked as a writer/ media consultant for Dennis Kucinich's 2008 presidential campaign. In addition to contributing video commentator to The Uptake (http://www.theuptake.org ), he is host at Operation Itch ( http://www.operationitch.com )

What's with the camera work in this video? And why does this clown talk out of the right side of his mouth. Did he have a stroke or something?

The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the [public] is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.'

All you people FEAR nothing. When you die NOTHING HAPPENS! or that is what we know to be fact. GOD is not a fact and events that occur are coincidental and is simply the environment shaping behavior. This has been happening for millions of years...WHEN WILL YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THIS! DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND QUIT FOLLOWING LIKE SHEEP!! There are actul clergy members who have "lost their faith" but do not quit their job b/c they have nothing else to do! RESEARCH!

[ontherocks1970]

So you are implying that you know what is right and wrong?! You are implying that you are the JUDGE, the one who can tell this man to shut his mouth. THINK BEFORE SPEAKING! IF you were truly a GOD FEARING person maybe you should shut up and let GOD make the decision!

Wrong the casualties of the culture war are grave. Mainly the loss of culture and the spread of incivility. I get that you hate religion and traditions. Why do anything then? All of existence could be considered obsolete in one way or another. Let's never give foreign aid. It is immoral. We are never responsible for the actions of others ever. Haiti is not our problem.

The way you talk is so damn annoying. The way you talk like you know what's right and what's wrong is even more annoying. You have no idea what you are saying or how true or false anything of which you're saying is.... You should just keep your mouth shut. Honestly you're just as stupid as you think this all is, if not more.

A man dies and goes to heaven. While in heaven, he strikes up a conversation with God. The man, concerned with problems on Earth, asks God, "You did so many things right. But may I ask why you didn't send people to cure cancer, solve world hunger, or finally create a lasting peace in the world?"

And God bellows back, "I did! But you aborted them!"

think about it
