Skip to comments.Chicago Tribune: Rep. Jesse Jackson to announce resignation (Today)
Posted on 11/21/2012 11:09:58 AM PST by Zakeet
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. will announce his resignation from Congress today in a letter to House Speaker John Boehner, Jackson's brother Jonathan Jackson said.
He spoke to the Chicago Tribune by telephone.
The congressman could not be reached for confirmation. Boehner's office also could not be immediately reached.
Jackson, 47, a South Side Democrat, has been treated for bipolar depression and has been on a medical leave from Congress since June. He has been under investigation by federal authorities for alleged misuse of campaign dollars and also has faced a congressional ethics probe.
Although he did not wage a campaign, Jackson won re-election on Nov. 6 to another two-year term in the House by defeating a Republican and independent challenger. Under Illinois law, Gov. Pat Quinn, a fellow Democrat, would call a special election to fill Jacksons 2nd District congressional seat, which extends from Chicagos South Side to Kankakee.
He is the son of the Rev. Jesse Jackson, the civil rights leader, and the husband of Chicago Ald. Sandi Jackson, 7th.

I finally finished weaving my basket in the booby hatch
Sorry for double-posting same article. You posted first, I searched, but was not as quick as you ;)
How will Chicago ever find another Black manic depressant felon to fill his seat?
Too sick to stand trial or seriously mentally ill?
All liberals are seriously mentally ill.
With his resignation, Illinois' super corrupt Governor will get to appoint someone worse.
Rep. J. Jackson Jr. will likely be viewed as relatively benign compared to whomever gets appointed to replace him.
However, I do acknowledge that I am ignorant of his record, so I may be talking idiocy.
He hasnt been to work in a year, why hasnt he been fired.
He could have raped and murdered 10 hookers, and he wouldn't have been "fired."
Since Congressman Jackson resigned, which Repubican should run, in the special election? I hope that John Arrington will run. I posted a wall-to-wall comment, on his facebook page, and I asked him to run. If you agree, please ask him to run. He's a conservative who was a Harvey alderman. He ran for the U.S. Senate, in 2010, so he has high name recognition.
Seems like a nice guy. I met him at the DuPage County Fair.
He could have announced before the election. He should pay for the Special Election.
The libs will play the victim card no doubt...racist white America put too much pressure on him and blinded him with materialism.
Do I need to be the first to point out that our country would be way better off if every leftist office holder would check in for mental treatment and not show up for work?
"Since Congressman Jackson resigned, which Repubican should run, in the special election? I hope that John Arrington will run.

I second Phil's nomination. I have no hopes that he could actually win, but it will help him for a future run for a winnable race.
any reason his wife Sandi won't run? unless she needs to stay home and care for her "sick" husband. ;)
The successor is obvious: Jesse, Sr., who is known to say "Up with Hope, Down with Dope" even if he doesn't really mean it. He will thrill Chicago as his son has done.
There is no appointment to the House, but Chicago might try it to test the Constitution. People in Chicago are most needy.
That district would elect Robert Mugabe if he were on the ballot.
There is one in the white house.
They can pick him up at any time.
Valerie Jarrett was supposed to get that seat, that's why Blago is in prison. Maybe Zippy will pull off something stupid again.
So, I'm guessing he finally got his disability pay lined up?
Will it continue while he's in prison?
As a fellow sufferer of bipolar disorder, I can feel for the guy. Hopefully he can find the right combination of meds that will alleviate the symptoms soon.
When a white mobster showed up in court ib pyjamas and babbled incoherently, everyone assumed he was faking, but when a comparable negro criminal presents himself as a bi-polar victim, white guilt commands some of us to take him seriously.
"So, Im guessing he finally got his disability pay lined up?"
That and his "Do Not Go to Jail Card" from Holder.
Well said.
"Too sick to stand trial or seriously mentally ill?"
More like too seriously corrupt.
There is no need to appoint a new Congressman when you get to decide who the Dem nominee will be. The nominee will be selected by the Dem ward committeemen within the district (and by Dem county supervisors from the areas outside Cook County, I guess), which means that Obama, Rahm, Quinn, etc. will get to strong-arm Dem pols to nominate the candidate of their choice.
When Blago expressed interest in selling the IL-05 House seat to the highest bidder after Rahm vacated it to become Obama's Chief of Staff, a lot of people thought "Blago is so stupid that he thinks the governor gets to appoint House members like they were Senators." But Blago was no dummy—he wanted to sell his influence in picking the Dem nominee in an overwhelmingly Dem district.
Usually I'm perturbed by excessively long layoffs for special elections but I hope the good people of IL-2 get to enjoy Congressman Vacant Seat for as long as possible.
David Orr Cook County Clerk wants Feb 26th for the primary and April 9th for the General.
Why would he leave? Does Baraq have somebody that needs to be rewarded?
We had Julia Carson here in Indy who had senile dementia and kept getting re-elected. The staff did all the work, they would wheel her onto the House floor for the big votes.
She basically went from the House floor to the funeral home.
I was hoping Congressman BribeMe would try to keep the seat for the next two years and collect a salary without showing up for work. It would have been a huge embarassment for the Dems and it's unlikely they would have actually made a move to expel him unless he was convicted for a crime.
I agree with PhilCollins that John Arrington is probably the strongest candidate we can run for that seat, though I doubt conservatives will be able to persuade him and draft him for the job. Unfortunately, having an "R" next to your name on the ballot is toxic to most of Junior's constituents in Crook County. I'm convinced they'd vote RAT if Jesus himself was the GOP nominee and the RAT candidate was caught snorting glue and raping children on live TV. Arrington might have a slight chance of getting elected Mayor of the city of Harvey, if for no other reason because its a non-partisan race so they'd be willing to consider a conservative.
That would be fun. I'm arguing with the "abolish the 17th amendment!!!" crowd on another thread. It would be interesting to see Illinois government officials attempt to appoint Sandi Jackson or something (or any really blatantly crooked RAT who wouldn't make it thru a RAT primary), just so the state legislature apologists here can see just how crooked state legislatures are.
Aside from their whole "everything the founders ever thought of is INFALLIBLE!!" argument (which they contradict by admitting they wouldn't want other post-1789 amendments abolished), they actually seem to believe that state politicians would choose better Senators than citizens. Why not have state politicians pick House members too? Wouldn't they want those wise, statesmanlike politicians picking out superior candidates for BOTH Houses? Why does the anti-17th amendment crowd want our "local" Congressmen to be inferior to those great Senators selected for us?
It reminds me of the "I'm against the death penalty because it's the easy way out and life in prison is a worse punishment -- but I'd allow the death penalty for terrorists" argument. So they want to give terrorists a "lesser" punishment?
There has been ONE appointment to the House. When James Inhofe was elected to the Senate in a special election in 1994 he took office as soon as the vote was certified.
Steve Largent who had been elected to Inhofe's house seat was appointed by the Governor to serve the remainder of Inhofe's final term in the House. The House did not object and I guess no one else did either, if they had they may have been able to prevent Largent's seating.
The OK law used to appoint Largent is
Section B at the link
Section C allowed rat Senator Boren to resign AFTER his successor was elected in a special election rather than have his resignation trigger the election.
Both sections seem unoffensive to me but I do not know if they would survive a legal challenge as the US Constitution does not address the appointment of House members.
The special election can't be on April 9. According to a state law, Gov. Quinn must announce the election dates within five days after the resignation. The general election must be held no more than 115 days after the day that Quinn makes the announcement. The latest possible day for the special general election is March 21.
I don't think there there can officially be a vacancy for the new term until it starts in January (the third I believe).
April 9th is only 96 days after that if I count right.
The vacancy started yesterday because that's when Jackson resigned.
The NEW term, I don't think Jackson's resignation of the the the new term can take effect until the new term actually begins, how can it be vacant when it has not started yet? His resignation of his *current* almost finished term is not relevant.
And although Orr is a slimebag I think he'd know the law and would not suggest an illegal date.
LOL, I wrote "the the the".
LOL, I wrote "the the the".
Jackson's seat, in the new term, can be vacant because he resigned, yesterday.
I thought that Clerk Orr would know the law, but, maybe, I was incorrect.
This is from an article on the WLS-TV site: "According to law, Gov. Pat Quinn has five days following the resignation to set the date for a special election to replace Jackson in Congress.
"That five days would expire on Monday and by Monday we'll have the schedule prepared," Gov. Pat Quinn said Wednesday.
The election has to be held within 115 days of the Governor's announcement."
The WGN-TV site states that Clerk Orr hopes that the elections will be held on Feb. 26 and April 9, but those dates would need to be approved by a judge, since that date, for the general election, would violate the state law, since it's later than the limit, in the law.
Well I'm sure they can find a judge to agree with whatever they want since they don't care about the law.

"Beautiful shoe. I would give it five stars rather than four but it gaps on the side even without being on your foot. Tons of compliments when worn!"

"The style of these shoes is really jazzy. However, they are poorly constructed. There is a glued seam on the front of the shoe beside the laces. A quality shoe would not have a seam conspicuously placed on the front of the shoe like that. They should have used one piece of leather so a seam would not be needed there at all. Also, the stitching on the shoes is not neat. It really should not be visible. Bottom line.... considering that these are supposed to be "designer" shoes, the quality of construction is not up to standard especially for the price (original price or sale price)."

So So
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
I still doubt unohana would die here, even zaraki doesn't want her to die.........yeah she accomplish her mission to awaken zaraki to his original power plus she just helped him awakened his zanpaktou enabling zaraki to communicate with it.... MY NAME IS """"""AIZEN""""""" hahahhehe lols.... zaraki would be almost unbeatable this time....... unohana even envisioned about bach being his enemy.... now i doubt bach is the last villain.... ichigo handles the last villain....YEAH FINALLY HIS ZANPAKTOU HAS SPOKEN AFTER ALL THIS YEARS
Sacred Knight : As for Ichigo, with him being told he has to go back to his "roots", I'm guessing Oetsu sent him back to Karakura Town, namely, his father, and we're getting close to getting answers about him and Masaki. <------ Yeah i totally agree with this, unlike renji who was handed down an azauchi and studied at the academy ichigo didn't and isn't a pure shinigami.... he has shinigami, hollow and quincy ties
WTF, Ichigo failed.
Why the hell did they take him to begin with, his injuries weren't that bad and Inoue could've fixed Zangetsu, and he had just awakened his new power.
By now he would've approached his dad about what Bach said, learned who he his and been training with his new Quincy powers.
What a waste of time Kubo.
-Zaraki knowing the name of his sword send chills down my spine
- Ichigo failing is a surprise <---as we all know he ain't a pure shinigami
- another useless character dead this arc is great thanks Kubo lets keep thinning the herd.
- Ichigo failed some test and is being sent somewhere else to go on a soul journey or some crap
- Kenpachi is about to learn his Zanpaktou's name and of course they interrupt it.
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
Wow, Ichigo failed at his training... this must be the first time :O. Pretty awesome if you ask me.
He had no help from his zan ? Damn what the heck is he suddenly talking about ? Could it be, that what he had all this time wasn't a zanpakutou at all, but something closer to what the current Quincy are using (well shooting beams does seem very Quincy-like)? Is that what he implied ?
Is Zaraki going to revive/save Unohana with his true Zan's power ? Kubo could have at least give us it's name to take guesses of what it does.
Now, where was Ichigo send too ? Karakura Town doesn't sound too bad, assuming that the one waiting for him are going to be Urahara, Ishin and Ryuken .
1) Remember a few chapters ago that we were Saying that Ichigo never had an Asauchi and he pulled Zangetsu out from his gut.
2) Anyhow, He's not really done at the Soul King's dimension yet. The Bhuddist Monk Big guy hasn't talked to him yet, and the Soul King himself is interested in Ichigo, so we know it's simple not over yet.
3) I really hope Kubo makes this journey to recover Zangetsu into an epic opportunity to explore just exactly what Ichigo is.
On Kenpachi, Who are the folks in this Image:-
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
^ Top right, Kuchiki Byakuya, bottom, the previous Capatain of the 11th Squad, a false Kenpachi (seeing as Unohana and Zaraki are the only true ones). After owning him, Zaraki became the captain of the 11th Squad.
Ah right, forgot to mention that Unoha implies that Ichigo will be taking care of Hashvald, while Zaraki taking care of Bach.
Damn you Kubo!!!! You killed the 2 best Captains ....
Let me guess, now both Ichigo and Ken have to go through yet more training arcs, AmIRite?
Hopefully we finally get some Shikai clarification with Ken.
Last edited by drgnx; 02-20-2013 at 04:39 PM.
Renji/Byakuya are friends of Kenpachi? Madarame and Yumichika should've been on that pic!
I'm curious where Ichigo has been sent to, wonder if he stays.

Skip to comments.Bergoglio makes mincemeat of journalist (socialism = evil)
Posted on 03/24/2013 8:49:58 AM PDT by markomalley
The following is a transcript of an interview between an atheist American journalist and then-Cardinal Bergolio. It is clear why the interview was never broadcast. In it, Cardinal Bergoglio makes mincemeat of the typical leftist interview techniques of so many people in the broadcast media.
REPORTER: Welcome Cardinal.
BERGOGLIO: Thank you. Happy to speak with you.
REPORTER: Well, let me get into it directly. Last conclave, you were almost elected Pope. Can this happen again?
BERGOGLIO: What? That I will almost be the Pope, again?
REPORTER: No. Will you be the next Pope?
BERGOGLIO: Friend, Im only jesting with you. I understand the question. I will not be the next Pope.
REPORTER: Why not?
BERGOGLIO: I chose not to. God has someone else in mind Im certain.
REPORTER: But you would take the job if it were offered.
BERGOGLIO: I think not.
REPORTER: Why not.
BERGOGLIO: I believe Im too embroiled in the secular fiasco. It is a spiritual job and Im a soldier. Look at the nature of power. In Europe first and now in America, elected men have taken it upon themselves to indebt their people to create an atmosphere of dependency. And why? For their own selfish need to increase their own personal power. Ive been a keen observer of the effect this has on the people, especially the poor. They are very good at creating poverty where there is no reason to explain it. My job is try to alleviate poverty and if that means to oppose the cause then I will not be Pope.
REPORTER: But you are worried you would be a spend thrift pope?
BERGOGLIO: Friend. Where did you go to school?
REPORTER: La Salle College High School in Pennsylvania and .
BERGOGLIO: And after that?
REPORTER: College of the Holy Cross.
BERGOGLIO: They told me you were Catholic. Once elected the Pope is by virtue of the promise of Jesus to Peter, the Pope is preserved from the possibility of error. God would change any spend thrift politician into a responsible Pope. Im just saying Im not that man.
REPORTER: So what is your job?
BERGOGLIO: My job is to ask you, why are men creating poverty?
REPORTER: What do you mean?BERGOGLIO: I mean that poverty is part of the natural condition and that is bad enough. But my task is to prevent the aggravation of this condition. The ideology that adds to the poverty must be denounced. I have and this is the reason I will not be Pope. I have a saying for myself, No more poverty than God originally intended in the fall from Grace.
REPORTER: Oh.
BERGOGLIO: It is a spiritual choice and Im a political person. Im sorry. I know you will make more money from this interview if Im Pope. Or want to be Pope. But Im sorry. I cant help you. God has already chosen someone anyway. Right? You learned this in school?
REPORTER: Yes. Well Where are you on the issues that matter most, issues about contraception, women priests?
BERGOGLIO: This might be a surprise to you, but I am Catholic. We are Catholic. It isn't an issue and for you to pretend that it is being debated goes against God.
REPORTER: If you were Pope then you would not change anything.
BERGOGLIO: Certainly God would direct the new Pope to have more compassion for these newly created poor. And if there is any social justice in the Church, the new Pope would have a stern word for the creators of the new situation.
REPORTER: But you are staunchly orthodox on the issues of abortion, contraception, and same-sex marriage.
BERGOGLIO: I am Catholic.
REPORTER: You were punished for opposed same-sex marriage in Argentina. You opposed free contraception and the government exiled you. What do you have to say about that?
BERGOGLIO: I am Catholic.
REPORTER: In the secular world, as you say, you follow the conservative line. You oppose, uh, same-sex marriages, very popular with young people. You are conservative on birth control. Wont that be the doom of the Church, alienating young people who support reality based faith?
BERGOGLIO: Since God created the world, he also created reality. You seem to be arguing that a man cant be Catholic in reality. Son, you are a Catholic?
REPORTER: Yes, of course. I meant no disrespect.
BERGOGLIO: You dont have to worry about offending me.
REPORTER: Okay, good. Can a, uh, Pope even be elected if he is pro-choice or pro-love? I mean isnt the election sort of fixed in favor of anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage?
BERGOGLIO: Yes, the election is fixed by God.
REPORTER: Very witty.
BERGOGLIO: Well, you did ask.
REPORTER: It is being reported in America that you are against marriage equality. Is that why you feel that you cant be Pope?
BERGOGLIO: God chooses the Pope and God also made men and women different.
REPORTER: But you are ...a conservative and oppose abortion!
BERGOGLIO: Friend the expression on your face gives you away.
REPORTER: Im sorry, Im just trying to do my job.
BERGOGLIO: And what job is that?
REPORTER: Ive been sent to interview eight men in line for the papacy.
BERGOGLIO: And I guarantee you that they all oppose abortion. So
REPORTER: But
BERGOGLIO: So, you feel like you need to alienate the eight from the flock?
REPORTER: That isnt it. How can the church attract young people when it is opposed to abortion and contraception?
BERGOGLIO: Young people are just as attracted to the truth as they are convenience and expediency. So we will call it a draw.
REPORTER: Doesn't the church need to modernize?
BERGOGLIO: Finally, Ive met someone who will advocate publicly painting over the Sistine Chapel with one of the contemporary street artists. Are you sure you support this and in public?
REPORTER: What?
BERGOGLIO: Forgive me, I was rude.
REPORTER: Wont the new pope, don't these cardinals realize what they've gotta do if they want to attract young people to the church?
BERGOGLIO: I am a cardinal.
REPORTER: Wont the new pope, don't you and the other cardinals realize what they must do if they want to attract young people to the church?
BERGOGLIO: Ive explained the mysteries of the atom to rural young people and also Ive explained the Grace of God. And you know what? They can understand both perfectly well. Frankly, I have more trouble with adults understanding both.
REPORTER: But they have done focus groups; if you want to spread your message you can't have this position that's anti-gay marriage and anti-contraception.
BERGOGLIO: And you treat the church as a political institution.
REPORTER: So we were not gonna see any kind of change when it comes to things that matter like abortion or gay marriage?
BERGOGLIO: All eight of the men you will be talking to are Catholic.
REPORTER: Okay, I understand. Lets talk about your controversial stand on poverty.
BERGOGLIO: You want it to be controversial?
REPORTER: But dont you blame various governments around the world for poverty?
BERGOGLIO: Some. Yes.
REPORTER: But you refuse to blame corporations for their role.
BERGOGLIO: Okay, they also told me you have a degree in economics. No buyer, or seller either, enters into any exchange against his will. It is the nature of the economy. Man is frail, and he makes mistakes and sometimes is greedy and they enter into exchanges that dont help them. Sometimes they become poor, but they made choices. There is nothing the Church can do except try to educate people to become good consumers. Chiefly, for me, it is an education solution on that side. And the Church has more schools around the globe than any other faith. I say teach the people to save their souls, and also teach them how not to become poor. And now not to allow the government to trick them into poverty.
REPORTER: And you blame government.
BERGOGLIO: No, I blame the self-serving politicians.
REPORTER: So your solution to poverty is to change the nature of politics?
BERGOGLIO: Please feel free to broadcast this; I dont want to be pope. Friend, you are a socialist and your friends are socialists. And you are the reason for 70 years of misery in Russia and Europe now is seizing in pain from your policies. You believe in the redistribution of wealth and it makes entire populations poor. You want to nationalize everything and bring every human endeavor under your control. You destroy a mans incentive to take care of his very own family, a crime against nature and natures God. You want social control over populations and incrementally you are making everything against the law. Together this ideology creates more poverty today than all the corporations you vilify have in the history of man.
REPORTER: Ive never heard such from a Cardinal. Im not sure if you are here to help yourself or disqualify yourself.
BERGOGLIO: Please air this interview. People being dominated by socialists need to know we dont all have to be poor. Some poverty is part of our being cast out of the Garden of Eden. But look at the empire of dependency created by Hugo Chavez. Promising them, tricking them into worship of government and his very own person. Giving them fish but not allowing them to fish. If a fisherman does develop a talent today in Latin America; he is castigated and his catch stolen by the socialists. He stops
REPORTER: You would be the first pope from the Americas.
BERGOGLIO: He stops fishing. I will not be pope, but yes I am from Argentina.
REPORTER: And you didn't want to be pope?
BERGOGLIO: God didnt want me to be pope.
REPORTER: Perhaps he changed his mind.
BERGOGLIO: Ludicrous.
REPORTER: Okay, Im sorry. I feel like we are getting off on the wrong path. Im sorry.
BERGOGLIO: Yes, lets be productive.
REPORTER: You are a classic conservative Catholic theologian?
BERGOGLIO: Of course there's politics clearly in the Curia throughout the Vatican, but in terms of church teaching, it's not a political institution. It's religious.
REPORTER: I heard people, in fact, media people, "Is this cardinal, is he a liberal? Is he a conservative?"
BERGOGLIO: Tell them please, He's a Catholic. It's no more complicated than that. Catholicism is what it is. You don't have to believe it; you may not. You don't have to follow it; you may not go to Mass. But it's not up to you to modernize us.
REPORTER: You see no room for reform?
BERGOGLIO: It's not up to any religion, although some do this, 'cause they want the money. They want the membership. But the Catholic Church doesn't do it. It's not up to them to bend and shape and mold itself to accommodate the shrinking depravity of a worldwide culture. It's to provide the exact opposite. It's to provide a beacon out of depravity, socialism and sin, among other things.
REPORTER: If pope you would be bad news for the left.
BERGOGLIO: I wont be pope. But I am opposed to abortion. Im opposed to euthanasia. The pro-choice movement is a culture of death. I oppose the demonic same-sex marriage. I oppose gay adoption on the grounds that it is discriminatory to the child. I was exiled by the Cristina Kirchner government, but I hold no grudge. How is this bad news?
REPORTER: John Paul II rescued you?
BERGOGLIO: He made me the archbishop of Buenos Aires. Yes.
REPORTER: And so you feel like you owe the Right some sort of repayment?
BERGOGLIO: There are many values and many types of people. Perhaps it is my interest in mathematics, but Im the type of human who is interested most in the truth. God gave me a healthy love for the truth. Loyalty is only a virtue if in support of the truth or another important value.
REPORTER: Cristina Kirchner said you held a grudge.
BERGOGLIO: Funny Ive never spoken her name. Not once. And it is a battle of ideas not a battle of two or more people. Im only concerned with ideas.
REPORTER: She said you refused to speak up for civil rights violations.
BERGOGLIO: As a spiritual leader, I opposed cultural modernization, and so I became a political enemy. I understand politics as well as I do mathematics.
REPORTER: And the Jesuits, they were eager to cast you out, which they did.
BERGOGLIO: So you are implying that Im a vengeful priest?
REPORTER: Do you feel that you need to erase the progress recently made in Latin America?
BERGOGLIO: I say poverty. You say progress.
REPORTER: Let's talk about poverty.
BERGOGLIO: Sure, there is voluntary poverty that is virtuous. Many understood the nobility of making themselves independent of the fleeting things of earth. They are distractions from our pursuit of the truth. I have no problem with this. I only oppose involuntary poverty.
REPORTER: That is what I thought you would say.
BERGOGLIO: Why?
REPORTER: Because you are a capitalist right?
BERGOGLIO: Yes, I think capital is needed to build a factory, a parochial school, or a church or hospital, all. Do you oppose factories or churches or hospitals?
REPORTER: Of course not but dont you think the capital is sucked out of peoples hands by greedy business types to pay for these factories?
BERGOGLIO: No, I think people agree, through their economic choices, that some of their money goes to build these. Capital building should be voluntary. Only when the politician confiscates their wealth, to build government factories, government schools, government hospitals; only then do the people not agree. Money given voluntarily is legitimate to build with. Money coerced from the people is not legitimate to build with, because it isnt given voluntarily.
REPORTER: You are opposed to all government?
BERGOGLIO: No of course not. But it isnt the seat of wisdom in any society Ive seen in my life. The best government was created by the Americans, in which they admitted that people are endowed by their creator and most of the administration of society was left to the relationship between God and man. However, slowly that has been eroded by the atheists on the left, who would replace mans relationship with God with a new relationship with an opportunist like Hugo Chavez.
REPORTER: I just found it fascinating that you were willing to stand up to an entire government in Argentina. You where cast aside. Didnt you care about your career?
BERGOGLIO: Yes, there are people who cave to worldly authority. Even priests.
REPORTER: But you didnt?
BERGOGLIO: No, I changed nothing. How did I have the power to change anything in church teaching? My opinion? The democrats, seeking votes, only wanted me to change my opinion and legitimize their decadence. I did not, as evidenced by the fact that I was teaching high school math in small isolated town.
REPORTER: Im sorry that happened to you.
BERGOGLIO: Why dont you feel for others oppressed for their interest in freedom.
REPORTER: Freedom isnt punished anywhere, is it?
BERGOGLIO: Certainly it is.
REPORTER: In Latin America?
BERGOGLIO: Im afraid Latin America is lost. The people of the entire area are controlled by a bloc of militant socialist regimes in the region, most prominently Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia and Nicaragua. They have a gun pointed at their head. So their heart is now captured. Who will save them at this point?
REPORTER: So the game is over. Checkmate?
BERGOGLIO: Friend, Ive been studying America this month, before the Pope chose to resign. You must not have fear at speaking the truth. It is for the salvation of souls and the recovery of Thomas Jeffersons people. America must not fall to the new painted communism. Even the low information voters dont want America to be sold into slavery. I pray they cast out the money changers in their government! What manner of government is there that condones sin? Abomination upon abomination--giving monies for the murder of children, giving monies for the murder of the elderly! You are an American. Your government, My child, has been infiltrated by men of sin.
REPORTER: These are pretty radical ideas.
BERGOGLIO: No. Perhaps reactionary. Radical means something different. But a very long time ago, Khrushchev warned, that we cannot expect Americans to fly from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small injections of socialism until they suddenly awake to find out they have Communism. This is what is happening now in an ancient bastion of freedom. How can America save Latin America when they are slaves to the government themselves?
REPORTER: Im having a hard time digesting most of this.
BERGOGLIO: The truth can be painful. You look angry; do you want to stop or ask a question? But you have created a new type of state, the so-called welfare state. This has happened in order to respond to the needs of the politically created poor. However, intervening directly is depriving the original society of its responsibility. Families escape responsibility in the welfare state. And churches even escape responsibility. People stop giving to charity and see every poor person as the governments problem. I am a Catholic priest and there are no poor for me to take care of, they are made permanently poor and the property of the politicians.
REPORTER: Im not sure this interview is going to work.
BERGOGLIO: You asked and now you will listen, my son. The social assistance state leads to a loss of human energies and an inordinate increase of public agencies, which are dominated more by bureaucratic thinking than by real concern for helping people. Needs are best understood and satisfied by people who are closest to them who act as neighbors and parish members to those in need. It should be added that certain kinds of demands often call for a response which is not simply material but which is capable of perceiving the deeper human need. This is not to mention the welfare states excesses and abuses.
REPORTER: I think we are done.
BERGOGLIO: Wait. If I speak on the ordination of women, on celibacy, on divorce, will you air this interview and my message?
REPORTER: No, we are done.
BERGOGLIO: Partially what irritates me to the core is the medias inability to look at anything without looking into the cause of the various problems. People are made poor so they will vote for the very candidates that made them poor.
REPORTER: Have a nice day and thanks for your time.
Having said that, I love this line:
Friend, you are a socialist and your friends are socialists. And you are the reason for 70 years of misery in Russia and Europe now is seizing in pain from your policies. You believe in the redistribution of wealth and it makes entire populations poor. You want to nationalize everything and bring every human endeavor under your control. You destroy a mans incentive to take care of his very own family, a crime against nature and natures God. You want social control over populations and incrementally you are making everything against the law. Together this ideology creates more poverty today than all the corporations you vilify have in the history of man....People being dominated by socialists need to know we dont all have to be poor. Some poverty is part of our being cast out of the Garden of Eden. But look at the empire of dependency created by Hugo Chavez. Promising them, tricking them into worship of government and his very own person. Giving them fish but not allowing them to fish. If a fisherman does develop a talent today in Latin America; he is castigated and his catch stolen by the socialists. He stops
I would dearly LOVE to have this interview authenticated...
oh, btw, h/t to Damian Thompson
This cannot be authentic. He may indeed hold some of these opinions and positions but I'm doubtful about some others. And even of those that sound like they might be what he believes, I have serious doubts about his willingness to air them this bluntly.
But I pray that I'm wrong.
It just doesn't seem credible.
What can you tell us about the website from which it came?
But it does seem to be the diocese's genuine website and they posted it as fact, not satire.
So, it must be authentic. But even in someone whose media trademark is maverick and no-nonsense bluntness, the bluntness here is hard to believe.
But it must be. Perhaps he is the one to de-manure the Curia.
It's an official diocesan website. It is a suffragan diocese to the Archdiocese of Liverpool. It's bishop is Bishop Terrance John Brain. It's communications officer is Fr. John Flynn. The diocese as 315,000 faithful registered.
Otherwise, not much.
THis is how it should be done.
Unless the Bishop of Salford has a truly mischievous sense of humor and invented this as being just close enough to what we know of Bergoglio to make it plausible to most and therefore a real liberal-head-exploder.
So they invented it and posted it as fact just to see libs take the bait and scream bloody murder???
What got me was when he basically quoted Centesimus Annus 48 almost verbatim.
Again, I just put it here with the caveat in my initial comment. Hopefully it pans out to be the truth.
The one thing that keeps me suspicious is that they posted it as a factual interview, never aired, but don't give any information about when the interview was done,by whom, who the reporter was etc.
If it truly was an actual interview, by internal evidence done presumably shortly before the recent conclave, then why wouldn't they identify time, place, interviewer?
That inclines one to think that it's satire but has just enough plausiblity to be oh-so-effective.
If this is real I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do know that he believes that—George Weigel had a major interview with him in May 2012 or 2011, incorporated into Weigel's book, though I know it from Weigel's op-ed in National Review.
Weigel quotes him as saying much the same.
Whoever put this together knows Bergoglio's record VERY well. It echoes things we know he has taught and said in the past but states them with a kind of bluntness that I just can't imagine even a warhorse bishop saying in a public interview.
But perhaps he did. If so, he's a George S. Patton kind of guy.
But I still think it might be very clever liberal-head-exploding artifice.
That Bishop Brain sure has one.
If it was, unattributed as it is, posted anywhere but on an "official" site as it is, I would not have even posted it.
I think we've found the next pope: His Excellency Terrance Brain, bishop of Salford.
ROTFLOL! What a sharp guy!
The following section strikes me as the sort of thing Bergoglio would NOT have said. And it points to an American author,not a British one. So perhaps Bishop Brain didn't create this but his diocese posted it, to his credit.
REPORTER: Im sorry that happened to you.
BERGOGLIO: Why dont you feel for others oppressed for their interest in freedom.
REPORTER: Freedom isnt punished anywhere, is it?
BERGOGLIO: Certainly it is.
REPORTER: In Latin America?
BERGOGLIO: Im afraid Latin America is lost. The people of the entire area are controlled by a bloc of militant socialist regimes in the region, most prominently Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia and Nicaragua. They have a gun pointed at their head. So their heart is now captured. Who will save them at this point?

later read
I agree. The use of the term "low information voter" was the clue for me. Go the the Dioceses website which indicates Pope Benedict will go the UK in the Fall. I know that it false.
Good God, I pray this is real. I love this man. He has the conviction to wield the sword of St Peter, and the clarity to trim your sideburns with it.
Sadly, the link has been yanked.
Please lock this thread. The original link has disappeared.
I agree totally with all of this Cardinal's responses. But, I also find it fascinating if this interview were to be authentic. So, I will express doubts until I see proof of authenticity.
I was able to access the site when I first clicked on the Diocese of Salford link you provided. I wanted to send it to a lot of my friends and family.
Then, I tried the site again from your posting and I get an error message. So i googled the Diocese of Salford, found it, went there and cannot find this interview on the site.
I love the interview..but I think it is a hoax.
The link goes to a "404 Not Found" page. Looks like this article was taken down from the Diocese of Salford site; a site search does not come up with it. If you can still find it, please post a specific link.
It was there...and the link was yanked. That is why I asked His Eminence, the RM, to lock the thread.
I found on Google news that the Telegraph had an article about this. They could not authenticate it and thought it must be a hoax, even though they happily published its contents.
I think it is not looking good for the authenticity of this interview.
Salford yanked it. Link now dead. Here is a UK Telegraph analysis of the fact that it is probably a fake.
Fantastic interview! Pity the authenticity stands in doubt.

It can't have been Chrissy because Bergoglio appears to actually have been given time to speak.
Oops, sorry... didn't see your retraction.
But, boy, was it ever a great fake! What was the Dan Rather quote about fake but true?
This reads like someone's idea of what an interview by Chris Matthews of Pope Francis/Cardinal Bergoglio would be like if Matthews were free to go on with the Pope the way he would with a conservative Republican. But it doesn't read as something that actually happened
Wow...just wow...I hope it is an authentic interview..
Yes. It reminded me of "Whose face is on this coin?"
Sure wish it was real.
Me too! Fake though it may be, I've still saved it in a prominent spot on my desktop for constant review, so I can memorize the main ideas in the "cardinal's" talking points. Lots of good stuff in there.
If it is authentic, then Pope Francis has been listening to Rush! (Some of Rush's catch phrases, such as "Low-Information Voters" are uttered by the the Cardinal in this interview.) Even so, it was a fun read!
ping babay!
"low information voter"
Makes me think it is a fake interview.
But when the reporter realized he had failed to either discredit Cardinal Bergoglio or find inconsistencies in his views, he abruptly ended the interview & took his marbles and went home.
If authentic, this interview shows Pope Francis to be one tough cookie. Bad news for "progressives".
An excellent interview with Pope Francis before he was elected. worth reading in its entirity,
[Cardinal Bergolio to Reporter] — Friend, you are a socialist and your friends are socialists. And you are the reason for 70 years of misery in Russia and Europe now is seizing in pain from your policies. You believe in the redistribution of wealth and it makes entire populations poor. You want to nationalize everything and bring every human endeavor under your control. You destroy a mans incentive to take care of his very own family, a crime against nature and natures God.
When I read the link was pulled - I decided it was for real.
It sounds like Him to me. I read somewhere, I think it was a Raymond Arroyo email containing a quote from somewhere - that Cardinal Bergoglio is known to be an ___-kicking kind of guy.
low information voter
Makes me think it is a fake interview.
Note that description is very often used - in some circles here.
AND the Cardinal said that only just recently he had been studying these American things.
Sounds exactly correct that he would use such a term in the circumstances. Maybe he was Rush-in-the-face of the 'reporter'
I got very skeptical after I saw the expression "low information voters" in the Cardinal's quote.
Look at the nature of power. In Europe first and now in America, elected men have taken it upon themselves to indebt their people to create an atmosphere of dependency. And why? For their own selfish need to increase their own personal power. Ive been a keen observer of the effect this has on the people, especially the poor. They are very good at creating poverty where there is no reason to explain it.
The Pope preserved from the possibility of error? Has he read much history?
Don't hold your breath waiting to learn the source of this fictitious interview. http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2013/03/pope-francis-socialism-causes-misery.html

Now, more than ever, we need to call to mind the words of Archbishop Charles Chaput:
We make a very serious mistake if we rely on media like the New York Times, Newsweek, CNN, or MSNBC for reliable news about religion. These news media simply dont provide trustworthy information about religious faithand sometimes they cant provide it, either because of limited resources or because of their own editorial prejudices. These are secular operations focused on making a profit. They have very little sympathy for the Catholic faith, and quite a lot of aggressive skepticism toward any religious community that claims to preach and teach Gods truth.
Things of the Church reported in the secular media, particularly about the Holy Father, need to be viewed with the most jaundiced eye.
Those words would tend to serve you well here as well as in life.

Speaking for myself,
1. Yes. 2. No one trusted Mitt on anything. 3. Respectfully disagree. 4. I agree--but did the Tea's know what they were getting? 5. I completely agree. But at what point will there be, A. So small a number of Republicans that even having 100percent of R's behind a candidate GUARANTEES a loss to anyone else? (It may be coming close!); or B., many R's that agree with the social principles but are no longer willing to be part of a party that is willing to sacrifice itself and the good of the Republic for them, rather than ceding those principles to individuals and the state?
Hope that makes sense, as I have a dog training appt. and won't be back for a while! :)
And, you just supported my point that the Teas are not about Liberty or a Balanced Budget. That is your 'smokescreen".
Yes, they backed Rand's Senate bid, I have never said otherwise. It just that they can't get him into the White House. He will need broader support than the Teas and with Santorum running again, who will they support?
Franco conveniently "forgets" to mention Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio along with Rand Paul as Tea Party success stories. All of these men fought very tough Republican establishment opposition to gain their seats... If not for the Tea Party support, they would all still be in their civilian jobs. All three of them are mentioned as the "young guns" of the Republican Party. I'm sure Rand (or any of the others) will accept an addition 1% of the vote if the Libertarians decide to come along for the ride next time...
The LP agrees that abortion is an issue that should be left to the individual states.
To answer RK; I think a Libertarian like a Rand Paul has a better shot at occupying the White House than a Repub standard bearer.
While not mainstream, at least the Liber's offer up more than re-runs.

"I love these shoes, was very excited when they arrived. Super comfy and pretty looking but the material from the heel has started to come off after wearing it for the first time, making it look old and ugly. I was expecting a better quality for this price."

"I got the light colored ones. They look super cute on my foot but the crochet is not as comfortable as you would think. Very snug. Maybe they will loosen over time but not sure I'm going to gamble on that or take back. The wedge is thin and a little wobbly for me."

SLU Wins "Battle for the Boot"
Saint Louis University was named the winner of the Shoeman Water Projects "Battle for the Boot" competition against Washington University at a special presentation Wednesday, June 6, at Shoeman's Fenton, Mo., headquarters.

Ken Fleischmann, J.D., vice president for Human Resources, accepted the trophy from Shoeman founder George Hutchings on behalf of the University, and reflected on how the project is at the heart of SLU's Catholic, Jesuit commitment to serve others.
"Our mission drives us - not only to serve - but also to reflect upon the service we give, and then, to take action," Fleischmann said. "Just like George Hutchings is doing with his Shoeman Water Projects."
SLU's participation began as a project spearheaded by Yvonne McCool, a grants specialist at the School of Nursing, with the backing of the University's Staff Advisory Committee and SAC President Cyn Wise. The goal was to collect 3,000 pounds of shoes from faculty, staff and students at donation sites in a majority of the campus buildings.
Those donations would help Fenton-based Shoeman Water Projects fund wells, pumps and water purification systems in Haiti and Africa.
The drive ramped up even more when the company approached McCool with an idea for a friendly competition.
Washington University had learned about SLU's shoe drive and bumped up the date for theirs, setting the "Battle for the Boot! Billikens vs. Bears!" in motion. The leading shoe collector would walk away with a boot trophy from Shoeman Water Projects.
Upon receiving the trophy, Fleischmann saluted the students, faculty and staff at both SLU and Washington University as well as Shoeman Water Projects for being part of a competition where everyone wins -- especially the women, men and children whose lives will be saved when they are given access to clean drinking water.
"Clearly, you share a commitment to making the world a better place," Fleischmann said.
From April 9-May 23, dozens of boxes in more than 25 buildings across the campus began to overflow with shoes of all kinds keeping McCool and other volunteers busy. Mary Ann Fox, Denise Pearson, Natalie Peterein, Lisa Roach, Anna Scales, Linda Thein, Susan Torretta and Rita Stites assisted McCool making the rounds to transport shoes to a central storage area to await pickup by Shoeman Water Projects.

When the drive ended, SLU had far surpassed its initial goal of 3,000 and collected 5,223 pounds of shoes. At Washington University the total was 4,996 pounds giving SLU the lead by 277 pounds and the total for both schools 10,219 pounds - breaking all previous St. Louis records.
McCool said it was amazing to see the level of participation by the SLU community as well as the impact a simple pair of shoes can make for people a world away from St. Louis.
"Thanks goes to everyone who put a box in their building or work area and each and every person who brought in a pair -- or a carload -- of shoes," McCool said.
Plans already are under way for a rematch.
