Catholic and Enjoying It!
Dear “Prolife” Suckers who told me I had blood on my hands for refusing to vote Romney/Ryan. Dear People who told me that God *commanded* me to vote for Randian corporate slave Paul Ryan because he’s Catholic. I’m not going to ask for an apology since I know the Party of Personal Responsibility doesn’t take responsibility for its reckless slanders and vicious smears. But being a hopeless idealist, I at least hope that even complete suckers can finally have enough of watching the football get yanked away yet again and finally refuse to cooperate with the party that, having betrayed and exploited them yet again, will now tell them, “Get out there and lobby for guns, torture, carpet bombing, murdering civilians and, above all, maximum income for the 1%, all you rank and file chumps. Next year, for sure, the GOP promises to care about the unborn. They swear to Moloch!”
Here’s an idea: how about we stop trimming the Faith to fit the demands of the GOP and start embracing the whole of Catholic teaching? How about we abandon the Lesser of Two Evils approach (which yields evil), reject the anti-abortion-but-not-prolife model, reject the use of the unborn as humans shields for all the rest of the GOP’s eager support of the culture of death, reject pretending that it’s “abortion vs. the rest of the Church’s teaching”, stop treating the Pope like the enemy, and listen to the whole teaching of the Church, including the stuff that sounds “liberal” to Movement Conservatives. It has the advantage of never having been tried, as well as of being the obviously right thing to do. And the results can’t suck worse than the results of a failed 35 year program of enslavement to the GOP agenda.
