VATICAN CITY (RNS) Pope Francis on Monday (June 2) warned married couples against substituting cats and dogs for children — a move that he said leads to the “bitterness of loneliness” in old age.
Of course, the Pope is right. We are going to have a lot of “bitter” old and childless people in the future.
The problem is economic. Back in years past, before the great economy of the United States was shipped overseas and globalization was pushed by the politicians in order to benefit, the global international companies and the stocks of their favorite Senators, having kids was affordable.
The middle class has been sacrificed for the big boy’s monopolies.
So, the Marxists that now make up the democratic party, now push abortions, and single moms.
Before, a working couple could afford two to three kids, raise them in a decent neighborhood, and even afford to send them to college.
Those days are gone. Vanished, like the old Mickey Mouse.
Is it any wonder, with the price of everyday living, that young married couples are choosing to have pets instead of children? Food prices alone, car insurance, cell phones (which you MUST have) cable TV, add it all up, there’s not much left to save for college, or even nights out at the Pizza Palace.
And the global leaders prefer that. They want fewer people on the planet, not more.
The Pope shouldn’t be talking to the ‘people’ –he should be demanding the governments get OUT of running people’s lives and businesses.
Otherwise…let the Catholic Church send a check to every parent for every child.
Hey—- Putin starting doing it in Russia.
One in five children live in poverty now in the United States. Why on EARTH would any adult want to have kids he cannot afford to feed? Unless of course, your government supports you…in return for your vote. If you are rich, no problem. But the middle class is gone, and inflation keeps rising. When dogs become more expensive than children, we might see this reversed: But anyone who has changed diapers for three years, might not care.
Besides—- what old age? Obamacare is going to kill most everyone over 65.
This Pope may be a nice guy, but Nobody Thinks, until he becomes a heavy thinker–he should stay out of politics, and get himself a dog.
Okay. Is it just me? An American President decided to celebrate the fact that he saved a soldier who not only hated America, but his father praises Allah in the Rose Garden, with the President standing right next to him nodding in approval?
Is that not flagrantly Un-American?
And then the Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel, thinks that handing over the top leaders of our enemies will make them…Like us?
It’s a GOOD thing?
Is this the Twilight Zone? Is Obama a Manchurian candidate placed in power by the Arabs? Does our President have a not dead but alive, bin Laden secretly hiding in an upper room in the White House, dining on barbeque chicken and caviar?
Who ISthis man?
As I watched Obama in the Rose Garden a few days ago, standing with the parents of Bowe Bergdahl, my first thought was, “Wow—that father is either a stoned- out hippie, or a rabbi. And then when Mr. Bergdahl started speaking gibberish, and then said, “My son forgot English.” and ended with “I am your father.” ————–
That’s strange— I thought. The kid is getting released and you have to remind him you’re his father?—-Which by the way, is a typical thing for a Muslim father to say to his son.
How long did it take you to grow that beard, Mr. Bergdahl? So nice of you to love the men who ‘captured’ your son.
By now we are used to Obama’s political staged events. This one was clearly put together to not only get the veteran’s story off the news, ( a tactic used time and again by the democrats), but give Obama a push up in the polls. But most of all, to show how much he CARES about every single American soldier on the battlefield. When you listen to Susan Rice’s BS on the video below, she, and every democrat’s talking points on every liberal cable show has been: AMERICA: You are wrong. Obama never leaves soldiers on the field. He is the best. We CARE. HE cares We really do love America! You are wrong. Obama really cares. We love our soldiers!
Right. Like the old saying goes: Actions speak louder than words. If you happen to be a Marine who loves America, you will rot in Mexico. (Especially if you like guns.) Obama can’t be bothered with a phone call.
Obama has got to be mad….Benghazi is just NOT going away. Put the vets dying on top of it, and Obama had to do something. Close down Guantanamo and destroy the Coal plants. Onward!
Some solider who had been made to sign a confidential agreement about this soldier, let the real news about this wonderful ‘patriotic’ soldier come out:
“He walked off,” said former Pfc. Jose Baggett, a former comrade. “He left his guard post. Nobody knows if he defected, or he’s a traitor, or he was kidnapped. What I do know is he was there to protect us, and instead he decided to defer from America and go and do his own thing. I don’t know why he decided to do that, but we spent so much of our resources, and some of those resources were soldiers’ lives.” Bergdahl walked away from his base, reportedly without a weapon, in June 2009 and was captured by the Taliban-affiliated Haqqani network.
So, what’s Obama do? He releases five of the top terrorists at Guantanamo Bay. He does this illegally, even after signing a bill saying he has to tell Congress 30 days before, and he lets the Taliban pick the ones they want. He told no one. Not even Karzi, who was furious.
Included in this “Who’s Who” of Taliban leaders is the Taliban Military Chief of Staff, a senior military commander, and the minister of intelligence. At least two are wanted for war crimes and all are directly connected to Al Qaeda.
The White House made it seem like these terrorist would be under house arrest for a year, but a video shows that’s just a big lie.
What’s another lie? In the words of the Rolling Stone: Pile em up. Pile em up! Pile em Up on the platter!
We’ve been Shattered! I know it…SHATTEREED !
Of all the soldiers being held by the Taliban, why did he pick one, that clearly hated America, and had sympathies for the Taliban? With a father whose sympathies lie with the Muslims? In other words, a traitor? He wrote an email to his parents that he was “ashamed to even be American” and “the horror that is America is disgusting.”
Like father, Like son.
Don’t tell me Obama didn’t find those two very appealing. He enjoyed every single minute of that Rose Garden appearance. To Obama, it’s payback! Not to the Taliban but to the Americans he despises. And by the way, WHO released that email? His parents?
I tried to find out on Google, just how many other POW’s are in the Taliban’s’ hands, and you know what? I couldn’t find one. Or anything. As if, Bowe was the only one.
Now, you know that can’t be true, because in the Middle East, over 30 journalists have been kidnapped. I find it almost impossible to believe that after ten years of war, the Taliban has not captured more of our men.
You just can’t find out that information now, can you?
Obama’s latest fiasco is all about sympathy for the Devil. He exhibited the very same behavior for Benghazi. The most important message was not just his reelection, but anyone who defames the great religion of Islam, are disgusting criminals.
This..is not…American.
This is an American President who sides with our enemies more than us.
This is treason, of the highest order.
Let us all remember the words of the boy’s father in the rose garden:
, “In the name of Allah, most gracious, most compassionate.”
Obama has put every remaining soldier and citizen around the world, in greater danger than ever.
It’s what he does best, because his name…is Barack Hussein Obama.
And that, should have been our first clue.
So, who wins the Nobody’s Perfectaward for the week? Barack Hussein Obama, who just committed a high crime? Or…
The American People?
Nobody Wins, when you have a traitor In the highest office of the land.
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
