Cardinal Ratzinger handed Bush the presidency by tipping the Catholic vote. Can American democracy survive their shared medieval vision?

I just read the by-line - that was enough for me.
I laughed out loud when I read the byline
This is Sid "Sid Vicious" Blumenthal. If anyone were vile enough and stupid enough and evil enough to be this generation's Lorraine Boettner or ignorant enough and Bible-hating enough to be the secular world's Dave Hunt, Sid is the man.
But in the United States, the Bush administration and the right wing of the Republican Party are trying to batter down the wall of separation between church and state. Through court appointments, they wish to enshrine doctrinal views on the family, women, gays, medicine, scientific research and privacy. The Republican attempt to abolish the two-centuries-old filibuster -- the so-called nuclear option -- is only one coming wrangle in the larger Kulturkampf.
My, my, my!
That is too funny! Sid's really lost it this time.
The truth is that Karl Rove is the real Pope; Ratzinger's just the front man. ;^)
Isn't Sid self-Loathing again?.......
What is Blumenthal's name at DU?
Sign me up!!!
Would it be possible to bring Hugo Black up on charges of trying to subvert the union by inventing the so-called "wall of separation?" We have to make it public that this so-called "wall" only dates back to the 1940s.
Any way to see the whole article? I hate to register at Salon.
Heaven forbid that the leaders of an institution insist that the members adhere to the institution's guidelines. Can anyone imagine what the left would do if a member of the NAACP campaigned to bring back Jim Crow laws?
It's "HandsomestGuyonDU".
Mark Levin was actually wrong about that...the phrase comes from a letter written by Jefferson which was a paraphrase of Roger Williams.
ssshhhhhhhh! that's a secret! :)
shared medieval vision?
I'm not following what he meant in this artice ? Matter of fact, after reading it, I'm goin' too grab a beer and play "Manhunt" on Xbox.......

Sid is angry that the Catholic Church is actually suggesting to it members they should oppose abortion, gay marriage ..., you know be Catholic.
Yes so Mr Blumenthal ? If you do not like it? You can move to fag land espana Or as Muslime call it (and Spaniards will in the near future) Al Andaluz!!
Hey all you truly Catholic Democrats! This is what your party thinks of your new Pope.
