Probably not accurate, but I think it. \u00a0 I especially think it when I see things like this<\/a>. \u00a0I admit, I paraphrased what was said by my team lead. \u00a0I took some liberties and condensed what he said and other points he has made. \u00a0He also didn\u2019t serve overseas, but was wounded while serving here in the states. <\/p>\n

In another setting I might elaborate and be more detailed. \u00a0But notice antigon. \u00a0Now antigon hates me with the white hot fury of a thousand suns. \u00a0Don\u2019t know why. \u00a0But he loathes me and holds me in contempt. \u00a0He is why I\u2019m still there. For reasons I don\u2019t know, antigon has taken it upon himself to charge in whenever I comment and begin calling me names. \u00a0Calling me a moron, dolt, idiot. \u00a0Accusing me of being stupid, a liar, a wimp, a sissy. \u00a0And strangely enough, Mark has done nothing but join him a couple times to accuse me of being a right wing partisan to boot. \u00a0There is no way in the world I\u2019m leaving the blog and letting him think he\u2019s the reason. \u00a0Hence my remaining for a time.<\/p>\n

Now, you\u2019d think insults, accusations, and a flagrant disregard for fellowship would be a problem. \u00a0 Not so for the modern Fanboy Catholic who dominates the blogosphere. \u00a0It\u2019s a bizarre mix of liberalism, fundamentalism, and the worst stereotypes of Catholicism. The teachings of the Church and Christ simply don\u2019t apply to them. \u00a0Be assured, not all Catholics are like this. \u00a0 But it\u2019s enough that this approach is becoming more popular, and in fact Mark has been rewarded for this direction. \u00a0So someone in the Catholic world likes the combination. \u00a0Especially if they consider themselves the first True Catholics who long awaited the coming of the only Popes who really matter. <\/p>\n
