Calling all bad Catholics - Obama has a position for you

Sure enough, months after taking office, Obama is quietly, but systematically, staffing his offices with "bad" Catholics:

President Barack Obama has rewarded the head of a fake pro-life Catholic group that was responsible for misleading voters about his abortion position to a top Health and Human Services post. The nomination is seen as political payback for Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good (CACG).

Obama named former CACG executive director Alexia Kelley to head the Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships at the Department of Health and Human Services.

Kelley is also a former advisor to the John Kerry presidential campaign and Kerry is a strong abortion advocate. (LifeNews)

Maybe "bad" Catholics is too strong, how about simply "bad advice" Catholics:

CACG also released a voter guide in 2006 that was condemned by pro-life groups for misleading Catholics on abortion.

The CACG booklet argued “we often must vote for candidates who hold the ‘wrong’ Catholic positions on some issues in order to maximize the good our vote achieves in other areas.”

There's a simple label for this sort of thinking: "proportionalism."

Unfortunately, proportionalist thinking seems to be the best way to earn a spot in Obama's administration.
