1. If you are going to declare yourself “Bright” be sure it is the actual quality of your intellect and not merely your incandescent arrogance people think of. 2. The way to brighten your intellect is to use it and not merely worship it. If you need a quick tip on what this might look like, just listen to Richard Dawkins “think” about religion and then do the opposite. 3. Conversely, if you want to see somebody actually using the... Read more

So Rick Santorum does an interview with Hannity where he proudly declares that he votes to spend your dough on contraceptives and abortifacients (jump to the 9:05 mark). Only he doesn’t say “abortifacients” because he tries to snow the audience that the Pill is not an abortifacient, only the “morning after” pill is. But, in fact, the Pill *is* an abortifacient. So Santorum has effectively voted to support abortion. Meanwhile, that kerrrayyyzy Ron Paul strongly opposes federal funding for birth... Read more

on The Work of Mercy with Kris McGregor for the Spirit Catholic Radio Network. You can listen to it here. Speaking of which, one happy listener to the audiobook version of The Work of Mercy (which you can get on CD here or download as an MP3 here) writes: I had to drive to Cincinnati last week so I decided to listen to your audio book. Yikes! I think I’ve finally stopped the bleeding. I was cut to the heart... Read more

I am not making this up: Soldiers don fake belly, breasts to better understand pregnant troops’ exercise concerns One of our troops sent me that.

That’s the thing about our Ruling Class: they treat our troops as slaves and experimental rats while they play around with their social theorizing and experiments in exporting hedonist crony capitalism to the outliers... Read more

…as the evil monster MSM types are pretty sure he must be, based on his unphotogenic face? Turns out courts of law actually require facts and not just sound bites and a blizzard of rapid television images to establish a case that the Pope covered up abuse. So: the lawsuit has tanked. Not that you’ll see it in any mainstream medium, since “Pope exonerated” does not sell beer and shampoo. Still, this is a classic quote: A case like this... Read more

where, as a reader notes, we now have member of our Ruling Class seriously suggesting the state needs to step into the role of guardian–against itself: Woman Forced into Naked Body Scanner Three Times Because She Had “Cute Figure” Check Schumer reacts that this proves we need more TSA agents on site, including “passenger advocates” As Chris Manion commented on this travesty: “Problem with the Goons? Send in more Goons!!” Meanwhile, in North Carolina, the state swoops in to stop... Read more

Where pregnancy is disease, babies are tumors, and carcinogens are medicine. Read more

Yes. Precisely. As I mentioned, the strategy of states seeking to dominate the Church is–as Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, the Nazi, and the Chinese Commies have all demonstrated–to foster a Patriotic Church, docile to the will of the Ruling Class, and then encourage devotion to that as “real Christianity” in contrast to the actual Catholic Church in union with the Pope and the bishops. We don’t live in a confessional country, so the state can’t actually make Obama the Head... Read more
