If there is one thing that I find wholly embarrassing as well as utterly repugnant, it's the way the GOP -- particularly the Bush family -- plays Catholics for fools.

Since there are a large number of new users on this website, they should be made aware that you believe that George W. Bush had a hand in 9/11, and you stated such on the 9/11 threads while the WTC towers were burning, yet still standing.

It should be made perfectly clear that you despise the entire Bush family, and think they are disingenuous in their opposition to abortion.

You also got kicked off this forum three days after the start of the Iraq War last year for asserting that the US soldiers did not deserve the benefit of the Geneva Convention, since you, for some strange reason, felt that the US wasn't providing the protections of the Geneva Convention to the Iraqis (with no evidence produced, of course).

Just for the record.

Hello Little Man --

Still spreading what lies you can about me, eh? I was a little too hopeful, I suppose, upon receipt of your last email:

I cannot, and will not, engage you in debate on FR.
So, don't waste your time.

But I forget that your forte -- in true radical fashion -- is the unsubstantiated personal attack and there will NEVER be any wastig of your time in "debate" because you know damn good and well you're sucking wind 90% of the time and haven't got a hope in hell of "debating" anyone on the merits and with use of facts to back up your arguments.

As for your continued slander of me ... none of what you say is true, all can be refuted by posts still extant on this system and you remain a pathetic and despicable loser who indeed wastes MY time.

Keep it up, sinkspur ... nothing helps taint you more than your parroting the same old baseless accusations.

sinkspur,

I’ve been Freeping since 2002 and lurked from 1998. Post # 9 is the most disgraceful thing I think I’ve seen on FR.

Post # 9, IMO is approaching criminal libel and IS grievously sinful. You make serious allegations “Just for the record” with NOTHING to back up your claims. You are NOTHING, if not consistent.

Since, as you say, there are a large number of new users on this website, I will say that Askel is a great American.

Askel is one of the reasons I got hooked of FR. She is a great defender of the Faith and of traditional Christian Family values. She also has posted some of the most important subjects regarding the Culture of Life v the CULTure of death. She has a track record for intellectually consistent and often challenging posting, and is always faithful to Mother Church. One need only read a few of her posts to see what a faithful daughter she is to our Lord and Lady.

On the other hand, Sinkspur—newbies can read your hate filled libelous post # 9 and decide if you are on the opposite end of the spectrum. Newbies can check your comments page to determine if #9 is an accurate representation of who you are. I believe it is.

IMO—what is most disheartening is that you always “for the record” present yourself as a Deacon in the Catholic Church, with never any proof. People can read what the CCC teaches about the diaconate in light of your uncharitable posts and decide if you being a “Deacon” is a good or bad thing.

You owe Askel a major apology. I propose that you should also apologize to the entire Forum and then permanently cancel your Internet subscription and remove/destroy your modem for good measure.

1570 Deacons share in Christ's mission and grace in a special way. The sacrament of Holy Orders marks them with an imprint ("character") which cannot be removed and which configures them to Christ, who made himself the "deacon" or servant of all. Among other tasks, it is the task of deacons to assist the bishop and priests in the celebration of the divine mysteries, above all the Eucharist, in the distribution of Holy Communion, in assisting at and blessing marriages, in the proclamation of the Gospel and preaching, in presiding over funerals, and in dedicating themselves to the various ministries of charity.

1569 "At a lower level of the hierarchy are to be found deacons, who receive the imposition of hands 'not unto the priesthood, but unto the ministry."' At an ordination to the diaconate only the bishop lays hands on the candidate, thus signifying the deacon's special attachment to the bishop in the tasks of his "diakonia."
