OK, fine, so Mark Shea took a shot at Obummer. Pretty big target.

But he is still a far left barking moonbat as far as I'm concerned, still taking potshots at the last real POTUS:

according to Sec’y of Defense Robert Gates, who frankly admitted that all the twaddle about “When they stand up, we’ll stand down” is a load of bushwah when he plainly stated…

I wish FReepers would get it through their head that this guy, while he can do some decent Biblical exegesis, is still a far left loon.

Don't be such a ball of shredded meat. "Bushwah" has been used for at least 80 years as a euphemism for another word.

[Mrs. Don-o]

First of all, "bushwah" is not a slam on George Bush: it's a slang euphemism for "bullshit" coined in the 1930's.

Second of all, Mark Shea is not a far left loon. A closer reading will dispel this rash judgment. He can be accused of hot and sometimes erratic temper (yes, and he's been guilty of rash judgment, himself, which often causes those who love him to wince) but he's more accurately perceived as

• exasperated by political parties and the political process,
• intolerant of people who irritate him (and he struggles in public with himself on this), and
• located near the broad intersection of Chesterton Boulevard and Anscombe Avenue, in a reliably Catholic neighborhood.

I live in that neighborood, too, and enjoy his company.

And yours, too, by the way.

Agree on the left loon. One can debate the effectiveness of the war in Afghanistan, and if we have the will to stay and fight long enough to change that hideous land, but it isn’t immoral. If we really WOULD make a long term commitment like we made in Korea, we could succeed in Afghanistan.

I’ve been there, and my son leaves for there soon, but a more evil or Godless society can’t be imagined. I don’t think it is worth ‘winning’ there, since it would take a minimum of a generation, but there are reasons to seriously consider it as a matter of defense against the evil of Islam.

I don’t think you’ll be surprised to know I also question his ‘Biblical exegesis’...

Although you might not like this article either, Mark, because it supports Huckabee (I'm not sure what your stance is in that regard), you might agree on a couple points in the piece ...

Missing the “Mark”—Oh, Shea can't you see (that Huckabee has heart)

bushwah:

–noun rubbishy nonsense; baloney; bull: You'll hear a lot of boring bushwa about his mechanical skill.

Nothing to do with George Bush.
