Vatican leaks scandal looms large at meeting to elevate new cardinals
Religion News Service, February 17, 2012

VATICAN CITY - The scandal started in late January when an Italian television program showed letters written to Pope Benedict XVI by Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, the Vatican’s U.S. ambassador, asserting widespread corruption and waste in the Vatican procurement process. Vigano, who at the time was secretary general of the office that oversees Vatican City, begged Benedict not to send him to the United States. His removal would cause “disarray and discouragement” in those who shared his anti-corruption struggle, Vigano said.

Later, an Italian newspaper published a series of documents relating to the Vatican bank. The documents showed that a recent push by the Vatican to bring its financial laws in line with international standards had met with internal resistance.

..... For decades, the Vatican bank has been accused of shady dealings, and its management is currently under investigation by the Italian judiciary for alleged money laundering.

Perhaps Santorum would prefer that America adopt the "Vatican model" of democracy and capitalism!

I only have what the man has done and said:
voted to leave survivors of abortions to die
wants to "redistribute wealth"
wants to make life "fair" (misery index climbing)
has more people on gov't food stamps and other programs than any other President
wants to "regulate" where it is difficult to have voting public accept policy
wants to "regulate"/control oil companies (just ask Maxine Waters)
wants to "punish" the wealthy (achievers) and reward the "mob" (occupiers)
uses mob mentality to get out vote (ACORN), target businesses with mobs when he doesn't like "their" agenda
Is well on his way to doubling the national debt, more than all other Presidents, combined
Insults his rivals with no so hidden signals and motions, instead of forming comprehensive sentences
Sits in the Oval office with his soles to the camera (a ME insult), insulting the American people
Wants to ration "health care" to keep Dem votes (control the medical care, control the population)

But, other than those and some other reasons, I have no reason to think this man is deliberately trying to destroy the Balance of Powers established with the Constitution. I cannot think of more destructive policies to this nation if it was "intentional".

Is that all you got????

You guys are going to get killed in November.

Socialism works great.

The police department is socialist. The fire department is socialist.

Public schools and universities are socialist. The U.S. military is socialist.

Social Security is socialist and has worked well for 76 years.

Medicare is socialist and is keeping my father alive.

The interstate highway is socialist.

President Obama's Push Towards Socialism:

If Obama was actually pushing for Socialism, he would have seized control of the banks and passed a Universal Health Care plan.

"Conservatives" don't know what Socialism means.

That's the truth right there, a real socialist would be all for nationalizing stuff rather than extending tax breaks and interest free loans to people who screwed things up to begin with.

Real socialists do whatever they can get away with. The Constitution bars the government from expropriating private property. Democrats are the people who "screwed things up to begin with."

Ahhh yes...but then there's that pesky old Constitution Obama has to deal with. It is difficult for him to accomplish his campaign promises because of the Constitution. Imagine that!

bho is not a good president but he is not evil incarnate, and he is not a socialist.

the far right wing of my Republican Party continues to misdefine traditional and historical terms in an attempt to recreate American history.

if my Republican Party cannot control these crazies the GOP will be in the minority for a generation.

the GOP can, and has to, beat the dems on the real issues.

The above is why the GOP is going to get its ass beat this fall if this nonsense continues.

Try facts and evidence, asaratis.

Socialism works great.

The police department is socialist. The fire department is socialist.

Only imbeciles think the police department and the fire department "work great." Their pension systems are bankrupting every city in America. Try calling a cop when you really need one and see how long it takes them to respond.

Public schools and universities are socialist. The U.S. military is socialist.

Yep, and they all suck, even the military. It only looks good in comparison to other militaries, which are also socialist.

Social Security is socialist and has worked well for 76 years.

Every Ponzi scheme "works" until the day it can't pay what it promised.

Medicare is socialist and is keeping my father alive.

Right, so all old people died before Medicare was conceived of? Medicare is bankrupting this country.

The interstate highway is socialist.

Yes, the interstate highway system is another huge socialist boondoggle.

I am saying the far right wacks do not use terms correctly in terms of definition and history.

bripat is a perfect example of the Big Misdirection, above.

The weirdos on the far right have always gotten mad about being called out.

True dat!

 

[bripat9643]

The far righties here are wack about economics.

They truly do not understand.

The only thing you know about economics is how to spell it.

 

[JakeStarkey]

You have no idea what you are talking about, bripat.

The greatest weakness of the far right is that collectively it is ignorant about economics, particularly since the rise of technology and industrialization in the last 200 years.

 

[Contumacious]

..... that President Obama is pushing the United States 'to the brink of socialism, to the brink of losing our freedom' .........I see no proof of this brink l:

Yo Vern, are you legally blind? Do you wear rose-colored glasses? Are you a Card-Bearing Member Of the Parasitic Faction?

'fess up - and the truth shall set you free.

Yes, the interstate highway system is another huge socialist boondoggle.

The police and fire departments don't work because of socialist pensions.

The military is socialist - a "Ponzi" scheme.

Medicare is socialist and bankrupting this country.

The interstate highway system is another huge socialist boondoggle.[/.

Can we presume that "bripat9643" considers the current version of the Republican Party, its candidates and their negative media campaigns during the Primaries as a bright and shining example of the one and only institution in America that's "WORKING GREAT?"

If the likes of you got your way, the US would be a banana republic within a generation...

The police and fire departments don't work because of socialist pensions.

Outrageous public-employee pension obligations kill the city's ability to provide vital services


Want to know the single biggest reason why New York City is thinking about laying off thousands of teachers, jacking up parking meter fees and scaling back fire protection?

The answer boils down to one word: pensions.

Which is irrefutable proof that Obama is planning to turn the US into a socialist paradise.
