Latest Inanities

1.  It appears al Queda is our ally once again in Syria like it was last year in Libya.  If that is the case, who have we been fighting for the past ten years in Libya and Afghanistan?  How do you win wars when you never know which side the enemy is on?  To all the neoconservatives and other war mongers out there, how do explain the trillion dollars spent fighting an enemy who has been our ally in the last two wars?

2.  Obama tries to fool us again with his health mandate compromise which after a brief reading is not a compromise but only more jive.  Then his allies sprout the latest polls stating that 56% of Catholics believe that contraception should be provided by religious institutions.  The average Catholic that I know is first of all not a practicing Catholic.   Surveys indicate that 23% of self-identified adult Catholics attend Mass every week.   I could go on and on with examples about frequency of confession, fasting, etc.  but the last two generations of Catholic are woefully ignorant about their faith and the sacraments.  The Obama administration is applying protestant principles in determining doctrine (Anglicans on gay and women priests) to the Catholic Church.  Since over 75% of Catholics are not even practicing their faith, one most hold any 'Catholic' poll with a healthy dose of skepticism.


3. We have to hear from Honduras that the 'morning after pill' is an a abortifacient.  Funny, how it is never described that way the US  media.   Also, would you ever hear the following language from our federal courts whom can find justification for any unmentionable vice?......"human life begins at the moment of the union of the egg and the sperm, and not at the moment of implantation. To deny this goes against logic and biological principles,”...........which proves our US legal system is a fraud and corrupted.  Maybe Honduras is not such a bad place to live..........


4.  I hate to be a contrarian but the amount of time devoted to the death of Whitney Houston is totally out of proportion.  She died tragically and self indulgently of a nasty drug habit that destroyed her career over a decade ago.  Since then her only appearance was in tabloids following her physical (and mental) decline.  May she RIP and I will pray for her soul but celebrity worship is a sign of serious state of our culture.  Our advertising culture is to blame for the mis-allocation of time and focus on celebrities.     It was only a short while again that the media was in another frenzy concerning the death of Michael Jackson, an acknowledged creep and pedophile who also died of a drug overdose.   When the camera scanned the audience at the Grammy's a few days ago, the public was offered a sight of the worst sort of people America has to offer to the world.
