Sister Simone Campbell will soon meet with her idol President Obama as part of his reaching out campaign to raise taxes. I wonder if she gets to touch the hem of his garment.
The Herald Tribune reports:
The session with Congressional leaders followed his meetings earlier this week with leaders of unions, progressive groups and corporate executives. Later on Friday Mr. Obama will meet with more than a dozen representatives of civic, civil-rights, disability and anti-poverty groups and organizations representing both older and young Americans.
Participants will include Benjamin Todd Jealous, president of the N.A.A.C.P.; civil rights activist and MSNBC talk-show host Al Sharpton; Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign, and A. Barry Rand, head of AARP, the lobby group for older Americans. Also invited is Sister Simone Campbell, who led the “Nuns on the Bus” tour for social justice this summer and spoke at the Democratic National Convention, where she decried Republican budget plans as “immoral.”
Here’s the thing, any time you’re lumped into a group with Al Sharpton, it’s time for some major self reflection and a strong consideration that you’ve likely made some very bad decisions somewhere along the way.
Campbell, you might remember was the lunatic who was flitting around the abortion-palooza that was the Democratic National Convention and when asked by The Weekly Standard if abortion should be illegal, she answered that it was “beyond my pay grade.”
But making moral evaluations about budgets seemed to be right in her sweet spot. And now she’s getting rewarded for her fealty to The One.
I hope it’s worth it.

Sister Simone is showing herself to be a useful idiot. I'm sad to see it.

Mr. Archbold, not only is she in a group with the egregious Al Sharpton,
but she's also there with the president of the Human Rights Campaign,
an organization whose noble-sounding name notwithstanding exists
solely to advocate for legalizing same-sex 'marriage'.
Birds of a feather, indeed.

Sister Simone is not my sister. Anyone who disses the Pope is just plain stupid. Anyone who calls fake husbands and wives, spouses, is another plain stupid idiot, but that would insult idiots. Fraudulent spouses is a lie. This is a civil rights case, defrauding the public citizens of the TRUTH.

What in the world is she supposed to represent? I am tired of Sr. Simone and her talk about the poor. What does she actually DO???

" I wonder if she gets to touch the hem of his garment."
Even that wouldn't cure her of her delusion she is a real Catholic, just encourage her.

Mary De Voe it's called same sex mirage.

Elm: There is no such thing as same sex "marriage". Or were you being funny? Sorry if I didn't get the sarcasm!

That's clever. I hadn't seen that before. I'm going to use that in the future.

"nuts on the bus"? how old are you – twelve?
November 17, 2012 at 3:17 am
Oh, no, a 12 year old wouldn't get it…unless, maybe, they were not educated in a public or pseudo-catholic school…

Gail,
The media has explained it…
she does GOOD WORKS.
apparently, that's all we need to know.

She ought to be publicly excommunicated.
November 17, 2012 at 11:33 am
She's going to the WH to collect her 30 pieces of silver.

What is even more humorous is the name of her community-Sisters of Social Services. What kind of Catholic name is that?
I sure hope that Tea Party and Pro Life Activists target their Nuns on the Bus. Let's give Sister Campbell a taste of her own medicine.

I will not call her sister. I call her Miss ignorant. To love the most evil person who ever was president is beyond my comprehension. To murder babies and approve of sodomy,embryonic cell research is evil.

The problem with this is that now the Obama administration can claim, "Look! We have the Catholic Church on board with our plan!" And most people who don't understand the teachings or the hierarchy of the Catholic Church will just accept that as a fact. Useful idiots indeed.

Anonymous: Sisters of Social Service is a real religious congregation and apparently not a nutsy one. I guess the American SSS are nutsy, just as many other women's religious congregations were not nutsy when they were started but are now.

Oh well, what can you expect? Integrity and obedience? They left the station long ago and we are left with this ….
November 19, 2012 at 2:08 am
MAN…she sold out for a lot less than Wales.

You should not capitalize "The One" because there is only one and he ain't nothing close.
Now the wench masquarading as a nun needs to be booted out for scandal. Why the hell is she still in after the "beyond my paygrade" denunciation of the Church's teaching on abortion. People need to have an outrage that will reach Rome if her superiors keep that little Judas with the flock.
