‘F**k Cardinal Dolan!’: Liberals Send Explicit Tweets About Catholic Leader Following Pro-Life Prayer at the DNC
Cardinal Timothy Dolan surprised people on both sides of the aisle last week when he announced that he would be offering the benediction at the Democratic National Convention — an odd occurrence, considering the Catholic Church’s ongoing debate with the Obama administration over the controversial contraceptive mandate.
Still, the faith leader extended the ultimate olive branch and, in an effort to appear unbiased, he delivered closing remarks at both political conventions. But — following his remarks, some liberals launched into Twitter tirades, sending expletives Dolan’s way. The reason? He prayed for the protection of the unborn during the DNC, an apparent cardinal sin in the eyes of some Democrats who decry pro-life sentiment.
As TheBlaze’s Jason Howerton reported yesterday, Dolan encouraged everyone in attendance to protect the lives of the unborn. “Grant us the courage to defend life…waiting to be born, welcomed and protected,” he said. He also prayed for “life, without which no other rights are secured.”
Some of the other words that may have riled pro-choice liberals were as follows: “God grants us the right to life so we can choose liberty and happiness…We praise You for the gift of life, grant us the courage to defend it.”
Following his prayer, detractors went on an anti-Dolan extravaganza — or, as LifeSiteNews puts it, they “tweeted F-bombs” to the Catholic leader. According to the news site, hundreds of angry liberals took to Twitter to deride Dolan. The outlet collected and posted this sampling of tweets (warning: graphic language):
Apparently, some people didn’t appreciate the Catholic leader’s pro-life messaging. You can read more about these controversial social media messages, here. And, be sure to watch Dolan’s address, below:

Posted on September 7, 2012 at 5:03pmThe liberal mind is a wasteland of ugliness. How dare a man of God pray for the protection of the unborn, I can see where this would anger them.
I admire Cardinal Dolan for entering that God hating, child murderer filled snake pit. I wonder if he could smell the evil in the air.

Posted on September 7, 2012 at 5:44pmI think he went there to deliver the message he did, and it took guts to do so. They reacted to him as Godless liberals, the ones who didn’t want God mentioned. I hate to say it, but the uncivil, moraless, Godless ones are stealing the democratic party. Is anyone truely suprised? Those in that party who still believe are shouted down and booed. When we say there is a stark choice, there really is, whoever thought this would happen?

Posted on September 7, 2012 at 6:30pmPrayer is to Democrats as sunlight is to vampires. The response of the internet trolls reminds me of this:
“When the members of the Sanhedrin heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him. But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”
At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul.”
from Acts chapter 7.

Posted on September 7, 2012 at 6:37pmI’m told Planned Parenthood, in conjunction with Code Pink and Susan G. Komen for the Cure, protested Cardinal Dolan’s appearance at the convention by raffling off twelve late term abortions (one for each Apostle). The abortions were performed in a mobile abortion trailer in the parking lot of Time Warner Cable Arena, shortly after Obama’s acceptance speech. The protest attracted a large audience, and refreshments were served.

Posted on September 8, 2012 at 1:58amCARDINAL DOLAN is protected by the FULL ARMOR Of GOD. He gets sad about the loss of decency as expressed by these SATAN-CONTROLLED bad children…but they can’t touch him.
SO, little brats: are you saying that you have no more respect for yourself than to want to “hook up” with anyone, everyone??? Anytime? I raised sons. Do you know what what men really think about “loose women?” they think you are pathetic. Men will use you because they are men (the few who won’t wouldn’t even get near you)…but you will end up at the end of your 20′s, all used up, tatoo’d and ugly, dirty and probably with some STD or other such filth. You will never have a decent chance at a real marriage, with real respect coming back to you from your husband because of your total lack of discipline and decency now.
YOU HAVE BEEN CHEAPENED BY COMMUNIST PLANTS who came to the USA in the 50′s (as they admitted last year) to destroy our Faith in GOD; our Schools; our KIDS; Our entertainment; taint our “ICONS” (Brittany Spears etc) … you are being used to hurt America. You have approximately
70 years in your life (maybe 80) if it’s 80 you’ve used up 1/4th of what you get. IF your first 20 years have destroyed your body, how good do you think the rest is going to be?
GOD does forgive, God does help you back…if you ASK HIM…but why go all the way out on that limb in the first place. YOU KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT and what is wrong. YOU DO.

They have been around for a quite sometime, it just took Obama to open the door to show them for what they really are. The truth is, most of them are really cowards hiding behind online personalities, especially in blogs where they spew their vile and hatred, never expecting to see the person they are talking to…I had a surprise for a couple of them.
Some idiots actually will use the same ID on Facebook, if you do not hide part of your profile, it is very easy to find where they are…The look on their faces when confronted, is first reaction is shock, then comes “How did you find me?” then the excuses begin. One actually invited me inside the home, very nice, clean, loving children. Then I reach into my jacket pocket and pull out a printed copy of what was said and give it to the wife, that was the best part, was her reaction.

Posted on September 8, 2012 at 12:13pm“But — following his remarks, some liberals launched into Twitter tirades, sending expletives Dolan’s way.”
Most of these tweets are easy to analyze.They’re coming from a small group of active homosexuals who made the mistake of making very similar hate-filled remarks.
While ordinary liberals don’t like religious views…especially on abortion….they don’t go to such extremes as these tweets constantly using the “f” word for condemnation.
Only homosexual activists do that. And they use aliases posting many times to create the impression there are a lot of people who vociferously condemn Christians, when it is really only homosexuals who hold such rabidly hateful feelings, because they view Christianity as the greatest obstacle to their being accepted into the mainstream, too dumb to realize everybody is disgusted with them , not just Christians.
In fact, if Muslims had their way they would hang them or stone them to death.
When you learn of hate-filled diatribes against Christians/Christianity, think homosexual activist. You won’t be infallible, but you will be right the vast majority of times.
You can’t go wrong doing that.

Posted on September 8, 2012 at 2:11pmWe have never been a godless nation. The US has prided it’s self to have a diverse group of religions and being able to attend the church of your choice and allowed to practice the religion of your own god. We respected one another. Since Mr. Obama has been in office the country is imploding. He is the only president that has not been spiritual in my memory. In 4 years that he’s been in office he’s been to church 3-4 times and turned it into a photo-op. I understand that he doesn’t have my beliefs but a leader leads by example. For the atheists, agnostics etc I respect your beliefs but I do resent them trying to stop my beliefs and trying to change my (our) way of life. I was appalled to hear these tweets and the disrespect to a man of God. The foul language was disgusting and the worse part was, some of it was coming from women. Women that probably have children. What kind of example is this for their kids? Children are what they learn. The US is in decline and I can only hope that when things do change that it will be for the better.

Posted on September 8, 2012 at 3:57pmAlthough there are SERIOUS issues with the theology of the RC Church, re Maryology, Purgatory etc, I do have to give Kudos to Cardinal Dolan, for his COURAGE, in praying for the unborn!
He delivered the same prayer at the GOP convention, and there was no controvery, or HATRED, directed at him fo doing so, from the GOP attendees,at least. SAD, that the responses were so full of vitriol[and limited intelligence re the common epithets] Those that do so, will be judged, HARSHLY, but fairly, by our LORD, and Saviour. Better they had millstones around their necks, and sunk in the depths of the ocean[Paraphrasing the LORD] BABY MURDERERS, have a special place reserved for them, and for those who advocate this MURDER of INNOCENTS! I pray for ALL of them to recognize their depravity, REPENT, and seek forgiveness. But for the sanctity of life[past?]. amny of these poor fools may not have ahd ANYTHING to say, as their parents might have done to them, what they think is a simple “PROCEDURE OF CONVENIENCE”, in the VAST majority of abortions!

Posted on September 8, 2012 at 4:25pmThis proves the debate was never about pro-choice, but instead pro-abortion. This shows how tolerant the democrat party is and just how rabid their hatred. These Obama followers sound like 8 year olds that learned a new word, or for the democrats at least half a word. They can say whatever they want and have all the abortions they want it makes no difference to me – I don’t have to answer for them, only they get that privilege. The democrat party is being taken over by African Americans and Muslims, as well as PC Hollywood nut jobs. Funny, this never makes the state run media.

Posted on September 7, 2012 at 6:14pmIndy, I see you are acting stupidly again. Tell me, where in the constitution is there anything that says that there is to be a separation of church and state????? Answer……NO WHERE.
The government can’t pass a law prohibiting the free exercise of religion. In other words, the government can’t do anything about religious activities, especially prohibiting the freedom to exercise it. Thomas Jefferson was the originator of the notion of some sort of separation between chuch and state. But, that form of language does not exist anywhere in the Constitution (or anywhere else). As usual, you have it ass-backwards again you fool.
Here, go educate yourself:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances”.

Posted on September 7, 2012 at 6:39pmAn educated and intelligent person knows the First Amendment guarantees freedom OF religion not freedom FROM religion and there is nothing in the Constitution about separation of church and state.
Only deceitful people keep regurgitating a non-existent separation of church and state. If you are attempting to help the communists implement their manifesto then continue with the lie.
It is so unfortunate we have so many ignorant people who may actually enter a voting booth and cast an uninformed vote. That is why we are struggling right now. We have strayed way too far from the brilliance of the founders and the proof is people who actually think the Constitution guarantees the separation of church and state or freedom FROM religion.

Separation of Church and State – The Metaphor and the Constitution
“Separation of church and state” is a common metaphor that is well recognized. Equally well recognized is the metaphorical meaning of the church staying out of the state’s business and the state staying out of the church’s business. Because of the very common usage of the “separation of church and state phrase,” most people incorrectly think the phrase is in the constitution. The phrase “wall of separation between the church and the state” was originally coined by Thomas Jefferson in a letter to the Danbury Baptists on January 1, 1802. His purpose in this letter was to assuage the fears of the Danbury, Connecticut Baptists, and so he told them that this wall had been erected to protect them. The metaphor was used exclusively to keep the state out of the church’s business, not to keep the church out of the state’s business.
The constitution states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Both the free exercise clause and the establishment clause place restrictions on the government concerning laws they pass or interfering with religion. No restrictions are placed on religions except perhaps that a religious denomination cannot become the state religion.

Posted on September 8, 2012 at 11:53pmLet’s answer the little person’s WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH ONE MORE TIME:
The Law says: GOVERNMENT may NOT establish a RELIGION and require Citizens to belong to it, participate in it. Is that too hard for you? WE can have a zillion religions and the GOBMENT can’t do zilch to them…even try to force them to provide birth control for their employees if it goes against their Church policy. ISLAM is a GOBMENT FORCED “RELIGION” (cult) that forces people to belong and has it’s own punishment – enforced by their “church” THAT IS TOTALLY 1000% opposite from what OUR CONSTITUTION /BILL OF RIGHTS calls for.
THANKS for asking. That needs to be repeated OFTEN. GOBMENT may NOT establish any CHURCH or RELIGIOUS order and require us to belong. GOT THAT? Aren’t you glad you asked!!!
ONLY the very ignorant (liberal) hystericals think it’s the other way around!!! SO SAD. But times are ‘achanging” and PATRIOTS will win back this precious Country…in NOVEMBER!

Posted on September 9, 2012 at 12:01amCARDINAL DOLAN would be the LAST person who would ever want to hear of ANYONE worshiping him. The POPE is the Leader of the Catholic Church, appointed by GOD to continue HIS work. (The Pope in ROME) …calling him our POPE in America is just a term of endearment, thanking him for fighting for our RELIGIOUS FREEDOM….
If you know anything about Communism (speak to someone who has escaped Communists Countries) you will know that FIRST they try to rid the Country (they are trying to take over) of all their Religious Beliefs…AS IF THEY COULD eliminate GOD…silly, silly, pathetic people.
I DO NOT WORSHIP any HUMAN BEING. ONLY JESUS and GOD. Cardinal Dolan is a CHAMPION of our FAITH. He is “the Pope of AmTerica in my eyes and I’m not alone” Catholics to NOT worship Popes, Statues, Relics, Crucifixes, Stained Glass windows…. Catholics worship GOD. Those other items are “sign posts” as is the ROSARY or our alphabet … You’ve missed 99% of life if you don’t know these things. SORRY for you. That’s my last comment on this subject. YOU have to approach GOD on your own. Another piece of evidence that your fearless leader in the WH is a MUSLIM is his totally erroneous belief that we have such a thing as COLLECTIVE SALVATION. not true. NOT even close. Salvation is a one on one and when you find out, if you are fortunate enough to find out, you’ll understand. Until then, I don’t expect you to understand zilch. Sorry for you again.

Posted on September 9, 2012 at 4:30pm@pattyhenry; I know all about the catholic church as I was a catholic for 40 years. Uncomfortable as this may sound, there are people that do worship the pope, relics, statues and the like. This was not intended to be a personal attack on you, but only to open peoples eyes. Jesus Christ is Jesus Christ. We don’t need a self-proclaimed representative of him here on earth. We don’t need to tell our sins to a priest in order to be forgiven, as we already have an intercessor for our sins: Jesus Christ. Sorry if I offended you. God bless-Doug

Posted on September 7, 2012 at 6:57pmQuite true, every group has members who will use profanity. The profanity is not what concerns me, though. What concerns me is the act of denying God three times. The Democrats may still have a simple majority of believers, but their numbers are falling, and they will soon be drummed out of the party.
The Cardinal did not say anything about limiting womens rights, but only prayed for the unborn. At this, they were enraged. Enraged over protecting babies…just let that sink in for a moment.

This is not relevant to the current scenario. Your situation was of like-minded individuals together at an event that they support. The article is discussing the responses of individuals who DISAGREE with Cardinal’s message AND voicing it on social media. The outlet is a crucial aspect, as it allows individuals to act less inhibited then they would normally in physical interactions. A quick scan of the forums of conservative websites shows this to be the case.

Posted on September 7, 2012 at 5:16pmI’m sure the Cardinal knew he would get flak for his closing prayer, and yet he had the courage to do what was right in front of the people who most needed to hear what he had to say. I am also sure he is including those who are so vile and nasty and disrespectful in his prayers, though they may not believe in prayer or even believe in God.

Posted on September 7, 2012 at 6:34pmI tend to agree with you..While technology has brought us the World Wide Web, and instant contact with strangers we will probably never meet, it has alienated us from our families and from our lives, by taking up so much of our time. People texting constantly and paying no attention to what they are doing or reading or the conversation of real people going on in the room. I have forbidden my grandkids to turn a phone on during Family dinners for the last 2 years. I’ve had dinners ruined by ex-inlaws who saw fit to message or call with some garbage just as dinner began and ruin dinner for everyone…so phones and technology goes off during meal time.

Posted on September 7, 2012 at 5:16pmthe Church doesnt support either party. The Bishops dont have that type of authority. Though there have been rather liberal Bishops especially during the last 40 years the change in the way Bishops are now selected has focused more on teaching the orthodox faith and not proping up the dems which was really underway even before Kennedy, mostly because the Republicans werent exactly friendly to Catholics, not to say the Dems in the Klan were exactly thrilled to have us. But anyway the Church doesnt choose sides it teaches the faith and morals that Catholics should adhere to when making an informed decision and to be honest from a Catholic perspective its still holding my nose to vote for Romney because at least he will let a Child live long enough to make a decision for themselves

Chicago’s catholic diocese has been a nest of communism since the 1980s-1990s. cardinal bernadin fawned on communist party up-n-coming obama, and helped place him in office. NO doubts on that, we watched it happen and left that church.. we knew COMMUNISM when we heard it. obama was running as “the candidate from Kenya”, too, we remember THAT very well.
