White House: We don’t need no Democrat unity, never have.

Say wha’? Didn’t need it for Obamacare? Hmmm.

In 2000 a Catholic high school in Louisiana was liberated from the scourge of Catholic writer Flannery O’Connor:

Why? Because, according to Rod Dreher, writing in The Weekly Standard (Sept. 11), certain black parents protested that the book contains characters who use the words nigger and pickaninny.

A Good Man Is Hard to Find was the book, one of its stories “The Artificial Nigger.”

Thou shalt not think!

“People demand freedom of speech
to make up for the freedom of thought
which they avoid.”

It’s dangerous; so provide a narrative and require it. Columbus discovered America, as once taught. OK, new narrative: he didn’t. Etc. Whatever. What we need is a narrative.

A fault, which needs it most, grows two thereby.”

Thimk about it. [sic]

How’s that “when we get around to it”? Punishment may be delayed but will be draconian.

Feisty lady at The Crescat: “If brought up on charges of being a Catholic I hope there’s enough evidence to convict me.”

This site wants to be better known. It’s a hell of a — I mean heavenly — site. Sparkling, insightful, stimulating, stuff reads well. Other than that, not much.

Sometimes it’s a fun thing to do mass.
