After Democrats spent several days at their convention lauding abortion rights, Cardinal Timothy Dolan delivered the benediction, closing the convention with a call to protect the unborn: "Thus do we praise you for the gift of life. Grant us the courage to defend it, life without which no other rights are secure. We ask your benediction on those waiting to be born, that they may be welcomed and protected."
Jump to 1:30 to hear this line.
Plenty among the Democrats cannot have been happy. Dolan received virtually no applause.
Dolan also delivered a similar line when giving the benediction last week at the end of the Republican convention. Dolan received considerably more applause after that prayer.

LOL... what I found funny about this vid was the 1st 5 seconds. They stand an aplaud an illegal immigrant walking to the podeum....but a Cardinal....we'll kind of clap....
On top of that....I always find it ironic how the dems don't want the gov't to tell them what to do with thier uterus's...but want the gov't to provide birth control.

@gammyland Not telling someone what to do with their uterus and the government providing birth control isn't doing your argument any favors. It does however point out the government is wise enough to leave it up to an individual what they do with their body and also provide a level of support if it's needed or seeked out.
It's how it should be

@yourboss
The Government doesn't leave it up to the individual, that's the joke. Whether you want birth control our not you end up paying for it through taxes. That means the 65 year old woman well past her child bearing years is paying for someone elses' birth control. Or all the small to medium business owners where is there individual mandate? They have none as they must provide it in their health care package.
You want individual choice then you must allow for free market choices. If a w More..

@gammyland I guess that you're too stupid to realize the difference. What's the matter, Rush didn't get that far on yesterdays show?

@cdlcrash The difference is that they want and don't want gov't to provide/tell them what to do. I'm a guy...why do I have to pay more in taxes so women have to have birth control pills.. ESPECIALLY when places like wallmart offer it for 9 bucks a month!! If a woman is too stupid to figure out how to afford 9 bucks a month on her own without gov't help... she should be fucking people anyway.

If the Catholic church really cared about unborn children it would endorse the use of condoms in Africa as a measure against the spread of HIV instead of making renunciation of them a condition of receiving food and medical aid.

@biopixels If you believe in the bible then take its advice.
Don't stand on the street corners preaching, go into your darkest closet and talk to him there.
Everything else is vanity and bullshit.
Same with LL.
Keep your bullshit to yourselves.

But do you grumble when a Cardinal approaches the microphone to speak? That's the point of this clip.

@Johnls I do.
I don't think religion should have any place in Politics EVER and neither did our founding father's or the documents they wrote when they established this country.

@Tongueboy i agree , organised religion has no place in politics or any other part of our society. they cant help but attempt to dictate how others should live.

Now he knows how the missionaries must have felt when they tried to take religion unto the heathens around the world. One has to love the people who remained seated and appeared very offended. Why would the DNC invite such an unwelcome guest speaker? Oh, for the undecided voters sitting at home. Wouldn't want them to see a bunch of godless and think that was the party platform. They should have passed a convention platform about God and something else, hmmm. Nah, it would never pass, or would it More..
