He got under her skin with that one, breaking the rule (?) that says no by-the-way take-for-granted opinions in your opinion, which seems to me would be unduly restrictive.

Anyhow, she might have overlooked it. Not commented on it, that is, especially in this pure gummint-knows-best vein, as opposed to ages of solid truth in packaging.

Infuriating, when you get down to it, horrifying insight into a statist mentality.

A Catholic prep school will carry announcements of alumnae “same-sex unions” in its alumnae magazine. Four alumnae object, quoting the community’s mother superior explaining her decision.

As a professed Sister of the Visitation for 67 years, I have devoted my life in service to the Catholic Church. The Church is clear in its teaching on same-sex marriages. But, it is equally clear in its teaching that we are all children of God, that we each have dignity and are worthy of respect and love. I have been blessed to live my vocation here at Visitation, where I have welcomed and come to know, respect, and love thousands of unique, intelligent, passionate, and faithful women, each made in the image and likeness of God.

As I have prayed over this contradiction, I keep returning to this choice: we can focus on Church teaching on gay marriage or we can focus on Church teaching on the Gospel commandment of love. We know from history – including very recent history – that the Church, in its humanity, makes mistakes. Yet, through the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, it learns and grows. And so, we choose the Gospel commandment of love.

The letter-writers take her on.

She is so sloppy in her thinking.

An exercise in startling comparison, as blogger “vannrox” explains himself

I believe in the Constitution. At least what it was first set up as, and not what the USA is today.

At the turn of the last century, before the progressive policies of the oligarchy were implemented, things were quite different. The last year of American freedom was sometime before 1918.

Back then, you could walk down main street carrying a bag of cocaine, a bag of heroin, a bag of pot, a gallon of laudanum, carrying a fully automatic Tommy gun, $20,000 in gold certificates, and a bag of dynamite.

And when the police would come up to talk to you, they would look at all the things you were carrying, and say;

“Nice day to you sir. Have a great day.”

“Yessir!” vannrox continues.

Things have certainly changed. Anyone who STILL thinks that the United States is a Republic, setup and run like it was originally intended to is an idiot.

Anyways, I have been involved in all sorts of work. It’s part of my charter, don’t ya know. I’ve done many, many things. From stuff for the government, to consumer products, automotive electronics, and international trade. My story is one of confusion, and all kinds of things that don’t fit the conventional narrative. So, of course… folk are gonna get offended.

It’s a long personal statement, from a Free Republic blogger (a “Freeper”) who goes a long way back, full of history, analysis, and interesting interpretation.

How creative can you get?

I love the title, I know that much.

With a lede like this, how resist?

I never did much get into Throne Games, or Lame of Drones, or whatever it???s called???not enough sex and violence for my tastes. But I hear every critic, which means everyone in the democratized era of social criticism via anti-social media, is down on the last season and the ending. But the real reason for the criticism is obvious: the series ended, and viewers wanted it to go on forever. The people clearly wanted Days of Our Throne Lives. They???ll just have to settle for renewal of The Trump Show instead. Lots of fire and disappointed throne-seekers from the Seven Kingdoms of the Left (better known as ???Moroseteros???) coming soon. Winter is coming! With primaries and TV debates! (Joe Biden is clearly the Night King.)

It’s a bunch of pix, such as this:

And on and on and on . . .

What happens when the rest find out?

It was the intended engine of destruction of all things Trump. Didn’t work.
