The following comes from a July 18 story on LifeSiteNews.com.
Thomas Perez, whom the U.S. Senate confirmed today as the new secretary of labor, has boasted of prosecuting pro-life activists, attempted to allow the government to define who is a “minister” in parachurch organizations, and has a history of meeting with the most extreme proponents of the transgender political movement.
The Senate confirmed Perez by a 54-46 party line vote. The all-Democratic vote was an historic moment, the first time a Cabinet member was confirmed with the votes of only one party, according to the Senate historian.
However, six Republicans – Lamar Alexander, Susan Collins, Bob Corker, Mark Kirk, John McCain, and Lisa Murkowski – voted for the cloture motion that allowed the vote to go forward on Wednesday.
Perez was allowed to sail through confirmation despite strong Republican misgivings about his competence and integrity after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid threatened to end the use of the filibuster. Perez and two other Obama nominees were allowed to be confirmed in exchange for retaining the parliamentary stalling device.
Obama nominated Tom Perez in March to replace the former secretary, Hilda Solis.
Last September Perez boasted, “We have opened 20 civil investigations under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, and filed eight complaints under the Act – compared to just one civil FACE Act case in the eight years of the previous administration.”
But his dogged pursuit of pro-life activists has earned his department a hefty fine – and a federal judge’s suspicion he was colluding with abortion providers.
Last April, the Justice Department paid Mary Susan Pine $120,000 in lawyers’ fees after wrongly accusing her of violating the 1994 FACE law. The judge speculated in his opinion that Pine’s prosecution, shepherded by Perez, had been carried out in collaboration with a Florida abortion provider to punish her for her advocacy.
Although Perez, who headed the DOJ’s civil rights division, did not win a single conviction, he said prosecutions such as that of David Hamilton were “absolutely crucial” to assure “that those individuals who desire reproductive health services be able to obtain them in an environment that is free of interference.”
Perez helped draw up the Obama administration’s legal brief in the controversial Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. EEOC case. The administration lost the case at the Supreme Court in a rare, 9-0 decision joined by both Obama-appointed justices.
Perez has also been part of the Obama administration’s catering to radical transgender activists.
In March 2011, Perez represented the Department of Justice at the National Summit on Gender-Based Violence Among Youth, sponsored by the Departments of Education, Justice, and Health and Human Services. Among those invited was Harper Jean Tobin, policy counsel at National Center for Transgender Equality, which has lobbied officials to force schools to:
- “Adopt school policies that ensure full inclusion of transgender students, including students’ ability to dress, access restrooms, and compete in sports consistent with their gender identity”; and
- “Institute age-appropriate, inclusive curricula on harassment and dating violence.”
Tobin later remembered having an “inspiring” conversation with Perez….

Democrats are stacking the most rabid marxists into high positions now, so as to make their next presidential candidates, such as clinton, biden, gore, kerry, look conservative. The Dems will then say they’ve got the whole political spectrum from liberal to conservative, and that the republicans are extremist terrorist fanatic right wing ultra tyrants whom the nation and world need saving from. This is the pattern, and the bishops who are connected at the hip with the golden calf will spew the venom of real tyranny.
When are ALL Catholics going to stop voting for candidates who support the DEMCRATIC National Platform – Party of DEATH and Party of SODOMY (same-sex marriage)?
When we elect evil politicians, they appoint evil persons in as many positions as possible to do their bidding.
PETE that is because many of those Catholics hold the same ideals. Lets continue to pray….that our Lord will open their hearts unto Him, who sets us free.
“One thing we must never do is to purchase a transitory freedom by sacrifice of God’s truth! If the choice is to stultify persecution, let us in God’s name choose the ennoblement of a persecution. ‘And fear ye not them that kill the body, and are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him that can destroy both soul and body in hell’.” (Matthew 10:28)
— Fulton J. Sheen, Catholic Hour Radio, 1944
By Bishop Fulton Sheen “The State exists for the person, not the person for the State, democracy is founded on this moral principle of the political order. Totalitarianism, on the contrary, in all its forms, believes the person exists for the State.”
PETE,
Your question is easy to answer. When the American Bishops become Catholics first and Demoncrats second. See how easy that was!
Viva Cristo Rey!
God bless, yours in their Hearts,
Kenneth M. Fisher
Reading the stats on this oaf Perez provides the easy take that he has replaced any semblance of intellect he may once have enjoyed with insideousness.
Republicans = useless…
Noelle:
That’s quite an unusual comment for CCD. If you want people to understand what you are thinking, you’ll have to elaborate a lot more!
Good luck!
Noelle there you go….proves our point…let me guess, you must be Catholic, secular right?
Noelle, are you an utilitarian?
Francis writes….”That’s quite an unusual comment for CCD. If you want people to understand what you are thinking, you’ll have to elaborate a lot more!”
Good luck on getting Francis, to stop encouraging every type of distracting conversation except the one that points to obedience to Church Teaching.
Catherine:
Why would we want to have only “one” conversation about obedience to Church Teaching? There are so many ways to disobey, and many of them start out quite pleasant and entertaining!
the father of confusion and disobedience it not something to joke about….we are concerned with salvation issues…..that is far greater..
Abeca: I am not joking.
Oh Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse to Thee. And pray for those who don’t have recourse to Thee, especially the enemies of the Church.
Francis OK then…well it’s even more serious than I thought….I am sorry that I gave you the benefit of the doubt…I tend to do that more often, I prefer to do that so I can have peace in my heart and persevere with love. You may not have been joking, but remember that our Lord has not given up on you yet. I am not joking either!
The Power of Christ Compels you!
“Get behind me, Satan, thou art a scandal unto me: because thou savourest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.”
What Catherine said that too…..is good!
Abeca, Tracy and Catherine:
I don’t get why you are so upset by the idea of having honest converstation about ways people disobey?
All “popular” disobedience, whether egoistic, sexual, financial or other, really do start out pleasant. Why else would anybody disobey?
Francis, the Three Wise Women are driving you wild, so wild that you have no idea what you are talking about, so wild that you’re telling them that you have no motive other than to slip and slide around the floor while they are trying to mop the dirt out.
Hyenas>Dems
Scorpions> Dems
Cockroaches>Dems
Formula: H+S+C= D-間
;o)
USA + Republicans – Dems =$ +%^2
USA + Dems – Republicans = @#%%&**^^!!
@Noelle – – -|: >p
Are these runes of a pagan religion?
heh heh. It’s actually cartoon-speak, Anonymous. Especially the quote that Al Capp always used in lieu of swearing. I don’t know why, but democrats are really getting me down lately so I’m trying to scale down my frustration with humor.
This story is precisely WHY Obama must go; also, why that arch-hypocrite and cranky contrarian Sen. Mccain must go. The first, Obama, should go if ONLY because he’s the most virulent anti-life pro-abort President in American history. Ten times worse than Clinton, bad enough, could ever THINK of being. The second, McCain, although at times championing certain actions, think Benghazi and the IRS investigation of patriot groups like the Tea Party, and his call for investigations by the House to uncover all the neafarious plots by Obama to cover both up, MITIGATES his actions in this regard by undercutting said actions by joining with other R.I.N.O. Republicans in allowing Perez’ nomination to “sail through”. McCain CANNOT be trusted. Now I believe we all know the standards for impeaching a president, i.e., treason, bribery, high crimes and misdemeanors, is the president guilty of some or ALL of these crimes. But how about a NEW category for standards of impeachment? How about advocacy of GENOCIDE against the weakest, most innocent beings in human society, unborn humans? Genocide was what the Nuremberg trials of 1946 were all about; advocacy of the destruction of ALL JEWS by the Nazi’s, from young to old. Isn’t Obama guilty of advocacy of the annihlation of a whole class of humans, the unborn, just because their mothers DON’T WANT TO BRING THEM TO TERM? Using back-up contraception, the euphemism for tearing apart fetuses in the womb, to nail the “clumps of tissue”? And didn’t Obama vote AGAINST the “born alive” act in Illinois while in it’s senate because of his UBER hostility to unborn human life? The man is an EVIL PIECE OF WORK! So why do so many Bishops in America want to “WORK WITH him” to resolve problems, etc., in government? ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! He must go through IMPEACHMENT or any other legal means, o we’re dead ducks in this country, because while he’s sitting @ the top of our government, it’s ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE. I personally believe he’s an INCHOATE HITLER type, but MUCH WORSE.Anybody reading this post who DOESN’T know this has NOT DONE HIS OR HER HOMEWORK. There are at least 10 books published in the last 6 years that DOCUMENT how dangerous this person Obama is. And Perez’ approved nomination by the Senate prove this assertion. May the Lord God of Hosts and His Holy and Blessed Mother wake up this nation in time. VIVA CRISTO REY! GOD BLESS ALL, MARKRITE
From WIKIPEDIA:
Perez, who was the youngest of four brother and sisters (all of whom following their father in becoming doctors), suffered the loss of their father when he died of a heart attack, when Perez was 12 years old. He graduated from Canisius High School, an all men’s Roman Catholic Jesuit private school, in 1979.
Another product of “Catholic Education” No further comment.
Another Jesuit school….just like our governor.
Wonder how many other pseudo-catholic politicians went to a Jesuit school? I shudder to think!
Bob: I did indeed received a Jesuit education. Back in the days when the Jesuits still believed in God.
“It was through a loss of belief in the moral law that politics became so important. In the day when Christianity was the soul of civilization, when all men recognized they had a common end, both eternal and temporal, politics and economics held a secondary place (to the moral). ” Bishop Fulton Sheen
I like the quote, is there one good place to get Sheen’s quotes?
Bob you can buy his books. They have them there and are truly treasures. Also you can watch his episodes on YouTube. : )
There’s a very good show on EWTN radio on Sunday mornings on Bishop Sheen ,too, Abeca. I caught it while driving to Mass. It was really inspiring…about the importance of evangelization, for one thing. It told of his going out to rural farms and towns in Alabama with a fellow priest,etc.
Thanks Dana…
While the wicked rule today, as with everything wicked, as with wicked societies, they all have their end. Sooner or later it will back fire on them….but the truth and goodness never dies….it may be hid or subdued but it never dies nor changes….
So while they boast of their worldly ways and accomplishments, it is only temporary. These may be their treasures but our treasure is the one who gives us eternity in heaven. This life is only temporary.
Bob,
I am sure you can get probably all of Bishop Sheen’s materials from TAN Publishers.
Viva Cristo Rey!

Bob yes Mr. Fisher is correct, I think St. Joseph communications as well and there are many more…..
I am totally convinced that only those who base their faith on the Eucharist and on the Most Blessed Mother will survive these times of GREAT apostacy!
Viva Cristo Rey!
God bless, yours in their Hearts,
Kenneth M. Fisher
Just like Presidente Plutarco Calles of Masonic Mexico did, Obama has filled his Cabarre (Cabinet) with apostate Catholics!
Viva Cristo Rey!

They sound almost like trophies, Kenneth…or the Ringwraiths of Sauron.
