Creative Minority Report: NRO's Catholic Black Advocates The Pill

Lepidus on Religious Wars

Still stinging from my daughter's brilliant defense of leftist jurisprudence, I read of Richard Seymour's Unhitched, an attack by Tariq Ali's Marxist publishing house Verso upon their late author Christopher Hitchens.  Wow, do you really mean to tell me that Marxists do not forgive deviation from their comrades?  Hitch was a loathsome athiest, but he did come to realize that his ideological soul mates were making common cause with eighth century religious fanatics, and began to apologize for Islam in a way that it would never tolerate with Christianity.  Religion is a drug, but for modern Marxists, it is one that is utterly satisfying to their ends when administered by Islam.  At least Hitch was consistent enough to hate all religion.  On the other hand, one finds fault with a writer who finds Mother Theresa in the same category as Al-Qaeda.

       The ones who really are in the same category as Al-Qaeda are the Amish.  Don't let the whole thing about their aversion to technology fool you.  What language do the Amish speak?  German.  I'll bet they harbor Nazi sympathizers!  The new Pope has two main defects in Wagstaff's book.  He is a Jesuit, member of the least orthodox order in the Catholic Church.  And he is an Argentinian, part of a nation famous for harboring Nazis.  OK, that's a lame objection, but surely no lamer than the objection that Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger was a deserter from the German Army.  Back to the Amish, I have no doubt that the drone program will start targeting Amish buggies.  If Catholics were identifiable by their vehicles, they would come in for drone strikes, too.

Kaitlyn Wagstaff Endorses Caitlyn Halligan

I have been able to get Dad to let me write in support of an awesome lady.  Her name is Caitlyn Halligan (almost the same as my name!) and she is a nominee for Federal Judge for the District of Columbia.  She is getting a bad rap from fascists like my Dad because she is pro-choice.  My Dad says that she shouldn't get to be a Federal Judge because as New York Attorney General she used RICO to fight anti-choice groups.  RICO is the law that Rudy Guliani wrote to fight the mob.  It stands for Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Groups.  Sounds like the blue haired church ladies to me!  My Dad says that anti-choice groups don't extort money, so it's an abuse of the law to use RICO against them.  Abuse of law, abuse of squaw.  Any port in the storm, I say.  Law is just a cudgel to use against those who act like religious nuts.  Screw 'em!  I think they should charge anti-choicers any crime under the sun.  Theft, for trying to make people raise kids on their money.  Drug laws, for acting like weirdos.  Fraud, for pretending that science is real.  You get the picture.  Medieval assholes.  Truth is whatever you make it, and law is whoever holds the cards.  We get awesome people like Caitlyn Halligan in power, and then we stick it to the religious zealots.  Make them retreat back to the Knights of Columbus Hall, and leave them to sing "Mary Is a Grand Old Name" over their beers.
