Former Denver archbishop: ‘Catholics weep over Barack Obama,’ abortion

Roman Catholic Cardinal James Francis Stafford, who was Denver's archbishop until being tapped for a Vatican position in 1996, warned a university audience President-elect Barack Obama's "anti-life agenda" on abortion is "aggressive, disruptive and apocalyptic," in an address reported Thursday by the Catholic News Agency. Stafford told students at Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., that the next few years will be "among the most divisive in our nation's history" because Americans were distracted by the prospect of electing an African-American president from Obama's "deadly vision of human life."

Political rallies get ugly but Colorado spared as Election Day nears

The acrimony on the presidential campaign trail has reached new lows in distortions, misinformation and irresponsible racially and religiously coded attacks by pundits, campaign staffers, surrogates and the candidates themselves.

Citation violation: Sarah Palin’s garbled channeling of Reagan

When Sarah Palin quoted Ronald Reagan in the vice presidential debate, I was moved. At the culmination of her cocky evening at the podium opposite Joe Biden, her final statement quoting Reagan was a moment of seriousness-of-purpose that took me by surprise: "It was Ronald Reagan who said that freedom is always just one generation away from extinction. We don't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. We have to fight for it and protect it and then hand it to them, so that they shall do the same, or we're going to find ourselves spending our sunset years telling our children, and our children's children, about a time in America, back in the day, when men and women were free."
