While I have my disagreements with Mr. Buchanan, particularly regarding his blind, anger-driven, irrational hatred of Israel, the sole outpost of our civilization and our only real ally in the region, this article is dead on. He has completely destroyed the ridiculous farcial positions of Kerry, Gephardt, Durbin and every other pro-abortion Catholic.
This is truly Buchanan at his best. I hope that as a real Catholic, he'll make it his personal mission to expose frauds like Kerry, Kennedy and the rest.
Buchannan gets it right again.
Ping. Ball now in Catholic Court. Will there be a return?
I'm keeping score. Patrick Buchanan gets it right 27.8% more often than George W. Bush. Phylis Schlafly gets it right 23.7% more often than George W. Bush. William Buckley Jr. gets it right 15.3% more often than George W. Bush. Alan Keyes gets it right 31.7% more often than George W. Bush.
I'm now going to get flamed. :-)
Cardinal McCarrick should take this as a challenge – and ask himself how St. Thomas More would have reacted to this threat. Then, go forth and do likewise, Your Eminence.
St. Thomas More became a martyr for his beliefs. St. McCarrick???
Catholic Ping - let me know if you want on/off this list
Pro-life ping!
Because those folks whom you cite are always {to the ] right [of Bush ]?
"Kerry protests that he does not want to impose his religious beliefs on nonbelievers. Yet, legislators have voted to outlaw prostitution, to punish those who use and/or sell drugs, and to ban child pornography. Each time they voted to criminalize such conduct, they sought to impose their moral beliefs upon dissenters."
No good liberal has ever allowed logic to stand in the way of emotion. Hence the appeal of their philosophy to certain non-senescient members of the public.
When a leader says one thing but does another, that is call hypocracy. The Bishop needs to affirm catholic doctrine and take Kerry to task or step down.
Sadly, I laughed out loud when I read that. What do you suppose McCarrick's beliefs are? Do the Unitarians name saints?
The secularists, unfortunately, aren't hamstrung by such scruples. They'd be happy to legislate John Kerry's religion out of existance tomorrow if they could get away with it.
BTTT

I second that emotion.
Gephardt is not a Catholic. He ran as pro-life in this heavily Catholic district until he realized that Catholic elders responded more to "Sosal Security" than to the killing of unborn children and that if he wanted a national leadership position he needed to kiss the ring of the abortion lobby.
And of course McCarrick is typical of so many post_Vatican II church leaders, who need to check and see if there is still a sack hanging below.
What on earth can McCarrick gain by being such a weenie? He could never be pope. He can't go any "higher" in the Church.
In light of such deliberate deception, I am wondering how one could reach a conclusion other than that McCarrick is a pro-abort and unworthy of his office.
McCarrick is like so many prelates, and ordinary Catholics. They just want to be liked by the imporrant people in society. They want this more than they want to be saints.
I don't often agree with Mr. Buchanan, but he is right on target with this one.
