without much chance to blog, and what little time I had being spent getting throttled over at CAEI by\u00a0pointing\u00a0out that we should have come together and tried to unite behind the victims of the Boston Bombing rather than unleash our agenda driven complaining from day one, this is a welcome respite. \u00a0The funny thing? \u00a0I then pointed out that as Americans, we\u2019ve become too critical of our country, seeing the worst in everything and being divided over everything, and I am then smacked again for apparently\u00a0worshiping\u00a0America and insisting it\u2019s perfect and flawless. \u00a0I tried, but I just couldn\u2019t get my mind around it. \u00a0Once our fascist police state was dutifully accused, and the cops who arrested the suspects and\u00a0risked\u00a0their lives were reduced to worthless doughnut eating butchers in blue by my fellow Catholics, I figured it was time to come back to the light. \u00a0I\u2019ve received some wonderful emails from a couple readers, and plan on commenting on some of them soon. \u00a0But for now, after being bludgeoned for pointing out that people who call \u00a0our cops worthless\u00a0butchers\u00a0and our government a fascist police state isn\u2019t accurate, and then told that I\u2019m the problem for not seeing the sins of our country, I thought some fun was needed. \u00a0I think my boys like it because they can see it happening to me. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plus my kids like it. \u00a0After a week without much chance to blog, and what little time I had being
