This post is going viral around the internet and it's no wonder. It's absolutely on target. And more idiocy pops up every day. Unfortunately, some of it is supported by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Which leads me to once again quote Pope Pius V who said, "All the evil in the world is due to lukewarm Catholics." Sadly, some of those "lukewarm Catholics" wear Roman collars. And when the shepherds are lukewarm, you get a flock of sick sheep or, even worse, wolves! Yes, the country is run by idiots at every level of government, but who is filling out the ballots that elect them?
You know you live in a country run by idiots...And I'll add one: You know you live in a country run by idiots when children aren't allowed to read the Bible or say a Christian prayer in a public school, but are taught to kneel on a prayer rug facing Mecca and read from the Koran. Yup, we definitely life in a country run by idiots!

There are some decent Muslims out there who do not beat their wives, but I find it hard to have any respect for a religion in this day and age that says a man can have many wives -- sometimes child brides in certain countries -- and a woman can only have one husband. I use to frequent a hairdresser who bought her own shop and was a Muslim, and a beauty supply store owned by a Muslim woman but not any more when I realized many Muslims are using monetary jhad on us, including this president, even though he says he is not Muslim. When she told me her husband bought her a $200 nightgown,I though she did not need my business any longer. My husband could not even get a business loan when he wanted it, but had to find other means to open a business. The president might want us stuck on foreign oil, but I put my money where my mouth is, and if that is discrimination, so be it. I will cooperate with Muslims and others where they are right, but as Abraham Lincoln said, I will part with them when they are wrong. I will put my money into helping American businesses with my values for the most part, or those of countires I respect.
ReplyDeleteRegarding my last post, I now go to a Vietnamese-American hairdresser, who manages a shop. She does an excellent job at a better price and I give her a really good tip. She and her husband are probably Christian, and they have children. Although I am Caucasian, I wear a modern, fairly straight, easily-managed hair style, and she does an excellent job I do not discriminate on the basis of race but of values and service.
ReplyDeleteMary Ann,
ReplyDeleteImmediately after reading your post in my Newsreader, I came across this headline and puff piece in Boston's Archdiocesan newspaper, The Pilot:
"Allowing driver's licenses for undocumented benefits all, say advocates"
The shepherds are indeed lukewarm, but red hot for identifying imprudent policy proposals with the social justice teachings of the Church. Shameful.
Sad but true !
ReplyDeleteThey are all CRAZY .....
I sometimes wonder why I bother to vote...but it is my civil duty and a privilege , I suppose!
