Oops, Fr. M. Pfleger joins Rev. Jesse J. et al. in another foray to Chuck’s Gun Shop Saturday, his people tell Friends of Saint Sabina in an email message.
Normally any friend of St. Sabina is a friend of mine, but is another call to snuff the gun salesman on tap?
Maybe just a joke or two making fun of right-wingers, with maybe a mild shot (pardon the expression) at Cardinal George The Ineffectual? Only the Shadow knows.
It’s an old joke, but maybe you never heard it: Hearing police siren, one dude to other: “Change your name, here comes the wagon.”
This is the wise(guy) strategy of libs, now espousing “progressive.” I’ve said it before, I say it again, what’s wrong with liberal?
What’s wrong with it is that the ones who have used it the last 50, 100 years are in flight from their awful record and would like us not to think about that.
Besides, conservative has gained cachet, so that its presumed opposite has lost some.
Answer? Presto-change-o, let’s be PROGRESSIVE. After all, who wants to be un-progressive, i.e., stuck in mud, opposing new ideas, unwilling to change, etc.?
It’s a marketing ploy by those who, hearing siren sounds of voters switching, make haste to adopt new nomenclature.
