Eden to Biden: Keep your rosaries off my uvula!
Two quotes for you today—first, this 2005 epigram, from Sen. Barack Obama's pro-abortion pick for veep, Sen. Joe Biden:
The next Republican that tells me I'm not religious, I'm going to shove my rosary beads down their throat.
And an excerpt from the level-headed response penned at the time by Paul of Thoughts of a Regular Guy:I, for one would be delighted to hear Senator Biden discuss his Catholic faith, his deep reverence for the Pope, the inherent beauty of Catholic moral teaching, his own conversion and how Catholic teaching informs all his political positions, and of course, his favorite places to find weapons-grade rosaries.
Threatening to shove one's rosary beads down others' throats is not the sort of thing one says when one has the benefit of the many graces that are promised to those who daily pray the rosary. So ...

Longtime Dawn Patrol readers may recognize it a variation on this bumper sticker (featuring a bizarre seven-decade "rosary") ...
... which is
still available from Planned Parenthood of South Central Michigan's online

I first spotlighted it. Once again, that's
your and my tax dollars at work supporting Planned Parenthood (to the tune of
$336.7 million at last count).
