“We are faced with a severe crisis here at Amnesty International,” goes the pleading donation appeal.

Yes. Well. I have no doubt you are, Mr. Cox. That could have something to do with the fact that you are no longer about helping political prisoners subjected to torture and death, and have instead dedicated yourselves to expanding the abortion license worldwide? When you mutate into another garden-variety promoter of the culture of death, it rather stands to reason that people who think you should be doing what you were founded to do and not the exact bleedin’ opposite will find other places to send their money. Somehow your appeal letter neglects to mention this salient fact.

I look forward to the death of your organization soon, and its replacement by apostolates willing to actually do the Lord’s work rather than pay homage to Lefty pieties.
