“Catholic” leaders have abdicated their responsibility, and that is a major reason why we conservatives are badly losing the American Culture War to liberals. This war is not even close. It’s an out and out slaughter. With media firmly planted in the left pocket, conservatism is getting thoroughly destroyed. Conservatives are silenced, but much of it is actually our own fault.

We need to focus on our local communities!

There are two good examples I’d like to point out. Archbishop Charles Chaput, in his excellent book “Render Unto Ceasar”, correctly, and profoundly says “A public life that excludes God does not enrich the human spirit. It kills it.” He also says “But for Catholics, the common good can never mean muting themselves in public debate…”.

The Archbishop quotes one Jedediah Purdy who brilliantly commented on the abdication of our civic responsibility which “tends to discourage civic involvement of all sorts. From local school boards to congressional campaigns, politics means taking public stands, throwing in one’s lot with a standard bearer, and constantly risking being caught out as a hypocrite, a sucker or a naive minority of one.” The Archbishop responded “In other words, for too many of us, it seems safer to be a smug coward than somebody with a spine who might lose.”

The other leader I’d like to mention is Father Frank Pavone of Priests For Life. Fr. Pavone is an awesome leader in explaining “Political Responsibility of Christians”. He is perhaps the best individual in our nation on the critical topic of abortion and also on the culture war.

“We the people” are the first 3 words in our constitution. Our constitution was written with morality and conservative foundations. Today our constitution is virtually gone as local “leaders” are driven by power, greed and an obsession with being re-elected into our government offices. At the root of all this is one thing — money.

Take Chicago, Illinois for example. Rich Daley, supposedly the mayor of Chicago, calls himself a “Catholic”. He promotes the absurdity that a male can “marry” another male, and that a female can “marry” another female. He promotes the killing of a pre-born human being in the mother’s womb. He also gets millions of dollars in re-election campaign donations from liberals who “hate” Christianity and the discussion of morality and conservatism. That money gets spread around. That money corrupts.

What do the masses of otherwise good conservative people do? They keep quiet. They may not be radical liberals marching in Daley’s public homosexual day parade down the Chicago streets, but they do not voice their outrage at such an outrageous government display.

People are afraid to speak up, and so 1 thing leads to another. Before you know it (as the frog in the frying pan), you have a deranged man in as mayor of Chicago for over 20 years, turning our government upside-down. You have a mayor who simply says absolutely anything. He is unhinged. When confronted with one scandal after another, he simply shrugs his shoulders. The complicit media is largely in on this game!

It is not just that Rich Daley scandalizes our Roman Catholic Church; the point is that our entire society, as a whole, refuses to rightfully protest against this pseudo-dictator. Over the years, all 50 of the council members are rubber-stamps. All 50. Fifty of fifty! Next, as I said, the general public remains silent!

We want to be accepted in the “in” society. We do not want to be ostracized. We grossly wrongly think that to have a job and make money, that one must be enslaved to the Daley Political mob network.

It was from years of community organizing in local Chicago politics, and years of otherwise good people ignoring what we knew was wrong, that our United States of America has an extreme liberal, and champion of abortion, Barack Husein Obama, as President and leader of the free world.

It has been said that all politics is local. We must take our streets, neighborhoods and towns back. We must stop idolizing and emboldening folks such as Daley. We must stop aiding and abetting guys such as Daley. We must stop voting for people like Daley. We must stop “hiring” the Daleys of the world as our government leaders.

All we have to do is responsibly speak up.

We must do our part. We already have leadership in Fr. Frank Pavone, Archbishop Charles Chaput and Sheila Liaugminas.

We must stand up and be heard and as old as this sounds, and it is old: Stick up for your principles!
