Tim Kaine<\/a> is the Democratic candidate for Vice-President. He is a former governor of Virginia and seems to be well-liked. However, there are some elements of his background that are troubling.<\/p>\n

The Center for Security Policy<\/a> reminds us that in 2010 then Democratic National Chairman Tim Kaine attended the annual fundraising banquet of the Islamic Center Dar Al Hijrah<\/a> in the Washington DC suburbs.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The reasons the others (seven elected officials were “invited”: former Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, now Chair of the Democratic National Committee, Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA), Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA), Sen. James Webb (D-VA), Fairfax Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Sharon Bulova, Fairfax Supervisor Penny Gross, and Virginia State Delegate Kaye Kory<\/a>….Within a few days, Senator James Webb and State Delegate Kaye Kory\u2018s names were removed from the invitation.)\u00a0 should not legitimate the Dar Al-Hijrah fundraiser, we had written them, included the Islamic Center\u2019s continued support for the Dar al-Hijrah imam in 2001, Anwar Al-Awlaki<\/a>, the senior al-Qaeda recruiter for three 9\/11 hijackers, imam and mentor to the accused 2009 Fort Hood shooter Major Nidal Malik Hasan<\/a> who killed 13 people, and online mentor to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the suspect in the Christmas Day 2009 attempt to blow up\u00a0 Northwest Airlines Flight 253.\u00a0\u00a0 We described several other Dar Al-Hijrah leaders linked to terrorism and supporting violent jihad against America, including the current imam who will host the April 3 event.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is not the kind of company American political leaders should be keeping.<\/p>\n

The Hill<\/a> posted a story about some of Tim Kaine’s background and beliefs on Friday.<\/p>\n

Here are some excerpts:<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0the media<\/a>,\u00a0Tim Kaine<\/a><\/span> took a life transforming “mission” trip to Latin America in 1980. Conveniently left out of these stories, are the radical reality of the Cold War in Latin America and Tim Kaine’s Soviet sympathizing mentors. In fact, whatever\u00a0Kaine’s intentions, he more likely met Karl Marx than Jesus Christ while\u00a0there.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Connect the dots with a little history, and an alarming picture emerges of Kaine’s adventures with radicals and revolutionaries in 1980s Latin America.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reports indicate\u00a0that in Honduras, \u201cMr. Kaine embraced an interpretation of the gospel, known as liberation theology…\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Liberation theology is not standard Catholic doctrine–it is more in line with the preaching of President Obama’s friend Reverend Wright.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Journalistic<\/a> and academic\u00a0<\/a>research has now shown that Liberation Theology<\/a> itself was quite possibly a product of a Kremlin disinformation campaign designed to undermine the Church and bring Catholic countries into the Soviet sphere. The top-ranking Soviet Bloc defector of the Cold War, Gen. Ion Pacepa<\/a> admits that he was personally involved in the operation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And contrary to the myth, this was never Pope Francis’<\/a> theology of choice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

In Virginia he ran as\u00a0a moderate and ruled as a liberal<\/a>. Today he runs as a \u201cPope Francis\u201d Catholic but on abortion and marriage, Kaine opposes Francis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the conscience rights of groups like the Little Sisters of the Poor, Kaine sided with Obama. Francis sided with the Little Sisters, whom he visited in Washington a year ago to publicly show his support.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As in the 1980s, Kaine’s \u201cCatholicism\u201d serves neither his Church nor his country, but a Leftist political agenda that has proven to be on the wrong side of the Church, on the wrong side of history, and against the interests of freedom and the United States<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I struggle with people who claim to be Catholic and support abortion. The Catholic Church<\/a> has been on the front lines of the abortion issue since Roe v. Wade. They have set an example that I wish the other churches in America would embrace–the idea that your faith influences your moral and political choices. Tim Kaine may call himself a Catholic, but it is obvious that he does not believe the teachings of the Catholic faith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
