God, Cardinal Dolan, and Obama's MSM

If you missed the benediction offered by Cardinal Timothy Dolan at the end of the 2012 Democrat National Convention, you had plenty of company.  To say the least, television coverage of the bishop of the New York Archdiocese was spotty. 

The DNC was forced to invite Dolan since he is a highly influential bishop of the Catholic Church who had spoken at the GOP confab the previous week and Barack Hussein Obama desperately needs some Catholic votes in November, especially after his administration has declared Obamacare war against Catholics’ freedom to practice their religion. 

However, that grudging invite didn’t compel Obama’s mainstream media to afford Dolan any attention since to do so would undercut their commitment to his re-election at all costs.  The cardinal was allowed to speak to the thousands at the convention but that didn’t mean the president’s MSM would allow their audience of millions to listen.  

Fox News and C-SPAN were the only networks to cover the cardinal’s  concluding prayer.  Viewers on ABC, CNN, and PBS could faintly hear his words and could barely see him in the distant background while their pundits analyzed Thursday night’s session in Charlotte and MSNBC, CBS, and NBC dutifully and totally ignored everything he said. 

The cardinal concluded his impassioned benediction by thanking the Almighty “for the great gift of our beloved country.  For we are indeed ‘one nation under God,’ and ‘in God we trust.’  So, dear God, bless America. You who live and reign forever and ever.  Amen!” 

During his brief prayer, Cardinal Dolan also touched upon other issues near and dear to the hearts of all true Christians, including the sanctity of all human life, protecting and saving the lives of the pre-born, and preserving the institution of traditional marriage, all issues far from the hearts and minds of Democrats at the DNC.

Along with the deity, those concepts had been roundly trashed at the convention which enthusiastically endorsed free abortion on demand, supported free  birth control for all the Sandra-Flukers out there who demand that the public pay for their condoms, and advocated for the right of everyone to marry anyone and everything they so desired.  

The benediction lacked the drama of a former president who regarded the current president as a joke in 2008 . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=27931.)
