Bernie Sanders is Wrong

Religious tests are wrong when Democrats perform them too. Sorry, Bernie, but you are way the hell out of line here. This has nothing to do with the guy’s duties in office. As a Catholic, it quite on the cards that he thinks I stand condemned too. Evangelicals often do. My only question is: can [Read More...]

Karl Keating had a moving post on FB

and he graciously gave me permission to re-post it here: I don’t use Facebook Messenger, but somehow today I ended up on a page that listed nearly a hundred old messages to me–messages that I hadn’t been aware of, most of them several years old.

Super Abortion Zealots are Nervous…

…as the Democratic Party loses its nerve about doing the stupidest thing it could possibly do and excommunicating a third to a quarter of its base over this one issue. Sin makes you stupid and the stupidest thing the Dems could do is *demand* that the millions of prolife people in its base leave and [Read More...]

The people who constantly sneer at the right to health care and “climate hysteria”…

…never sneer at “terror hysteria”. I’m seeing calls on my Facebook page to be “proactive” and start rounding up all Muslims since the London attack.
