Dale: I've got an idea: How about a vow of silence?
It would certainly be better than this crap (material courtesy of Mark Shea). Blame America first: It's something the Sixties People (TM) do. BTW, why haven't you all retired yet?
It's a typically rancid stew of moral equivalence and liberation theology, courtesy of Evansville Bishop Gerald Gettelfinger, a man who keeps a convicted possessor of hardcore child pornography on the diocesan payroll. As a priest.
Here it is, just in time for the anniversary of 9/11. Here it is, annotated:
"September 11, 2002: A year later
I worry!
Bad pork? Alas, it is not that simple or happily resolved. Unfortunately, the Rt. Rev. needs Moral Maalox.
Have those in our hall of government moved beyond frontier justice?
Nope. Why, just last night I saw a story of how "Doc" Ashcroft gunned down a terrorist suspect with his Colt Peacemaker, all by his lonesome. Just to watch him die.
Has there been a conversion of heart not to repeat the subjugation of “less powerful” to “reservations” under its authority?
Huh? Translation?
Lest you forget, note what the United States and Canada did to native Americans by condemning them to harsh conditions on designated “Reservations” after wresting the land from them.
Train to Tangent City, now boarding. What the hell does that have to do with anything, except as a cheap ploy to make his largely white flock feel guilty? I would note that the odds the Bishop stuck a "for sale" sign on the Evansville chancery, and has contacted the local Indian casino seeking potential buyers, are astronomical indeed.
Have we learned anything from the apparent motives of those who used our own technology, arrogance, power, energy and smugness against us in the attacks of September 11, 2001.
Sure have! For one, they are evil beyond description. Two, they aren't immune to bullets or daisy cutters. Three, they ain't basically bright, when you get right down to it. Can you say "miscalculation"?
Let us never forget that those who terrorized us were committed to the mission of “getting our attention.” They died for their cause—just to get our attention!
Actually, they were committed to the mission of killing as many of us as possible. Including a 2 year old girl going to Disneyland with her mom and dad, you gasbag. They died for the cause of imposing a totalitarian Islamofascist state, a revival of the Caliphate. They got our attention, all right. A year later, thousands of them are dead or imprisoned, and the rest are running for their lives. They've learned to be careful what you wish for.
The message from the oppressed has been very clear.
"Oppressed." Dr. Evil voice: "Riiiiight." Led by a multimillionaire, and the privileged and educated of several Arab nations. And non-Arab regions, such as decidedly unoppressed Marin County, California. But, the message from these folks has been clear. Message: "Aiiiieee! The infidel Americans are attacking agai---BOOM!"
Power to trammel on the rights and to take advantage of impoverished needs of its citizens under the guise of “national security” (translated into financial benefit) does not exonerate the United States, nor any other nation bent on the same course, from accusations of oppression.
This is so bloated with pseudomoral flatulence that its hard to decode exactly what the Bp. is trying to say here. Is he talking about the war? GATT? Bad ham? Boiled down, here's the message, with a rolled up newspaper: "Bad America! Bad! Bad! Bad!" Got it.
Must we Americans continue to be blind?
Sure! As long as I don't have to listen to the Music of the Sixties People (TM).
Must we continue to be deaf?
Great! No Sixties People Music!
Have we forgotten the haunting ballads of the late 1960’s?
Oh, s--t. Sigh. Which haunting ballad would that be? "Why Don't We Do It In The Road?" Or maybe "Happiness is a Warm Gun"?
How many more must die?
As many as Doc wants ta gun down, hombre...
Our president and his colleagues must learn to listen to those who counsel him from nations and territories beyond our borders. So must we!
Like, maybe Bashar Assad? Ayatollah Khamenei, or whoever poor captive Iran's head mullah is? Assorted (sordid?) heads of state from the Amalgamated Union of Appeasers and Jew-Haters (a/k/a "Europe")? Or maybe he means the Kurd Gasser?
Terrorism is terrorism under any title. “National Security” seems to be just another title for the same."
Well, of course it is. When you're morally bankrupt, sure. Here's three moral landmarks for you, next time you get the itch to rub salt in the wounds of a still angry, grieving nation: First, men who hijack planes full of innocent passengers and turn those planes into flying bombs for the purposes of killing thousands more innocent people are EVIL. Second, the nations that sponsor and harbor such men are also EVIL. Third, fighting these first two is NOT evil.
And please don't identify yourself as a Catholic bishop. If you keep it up, lawyers are going to be held in greater moral esteem than the leaders of the Church in America. Hell, maybe even pimps.
