At the moment it is 8 below zero here. Finally it is cooling off.
I was surprised to find today my heart is filled with hate, enlightened by this writer who finds all of my kind of the most vile of haters. Little puppies and kittens better watch out for me today!! I qualify as a plain old fashioned Catholic which is defined these days as a (gulp!) traditional!
Terri's Legacy must be getting to them.

In one case, the simmering anti-Semitism of the radical traditionalists may even have affected the thinking of a serial-killing terrorist. A new book by Maryanne Vollers, Lone Wolf: Eric Rudolph: Murder, Myth, and the Pursuit of an American Outlaw, suggests that Rudolph may have been influenced by radical traditionalism, in addition to his known ties to the neo-Nazi theology of Christian Identity.
The movement also may be gaining influence on the larger political scene. A case in point is that of Christopher Ferrara, leader of the American Catholic Lawyers Association. Ferrara, who writes for the anti-Semitic, radical traditionalist journal The Remnant, was the lawyer for the family of Terri Schiavo and a key player, along with Republican and Christian Right leaders, in getting Congress to pass a law to keep the severely brain-damaged woman alive. It was later overturned.
