Your anti-Catholic underwear is showing. And it’s not pretty.
Well, y'now...after the Albigensian massacres, St. Bartelemy's massacres, the Inquisition, The Treaty of Westphalia, the Huguenot massacre at St. Augustine, de dah de doo, all of which involved someone in my ancestral line, you might understand why we get that way.
I mean, after all...all you have against us is Drogheda. And of course, the San Patricio Battalion...
Recall that we viewed your arrival among us here with a bit of apprehension. Seeing the very people who drove you to foreign shores follow you to the Promised Land after all the heavy lifting was done (you know, defeating the King's armies and all that) and remembering what they did to you back in the Old Country isn't very reassuring. That's why the long probation period prior to the Kennedy election.
Gotta hand it to the Kennedy's. They had the PR thing down. If Oswald hadn't cooked it up on his own, some Kennedy flack might have staged the whole thing just for the sainthood value. Look what traction they got out of it!
For all we know, John is in his final years in Uruguay somewhere...or County Cork. Boffin' his last bimbo...maybe it was all staged.
So uh, our reservations have been um....somewhat validated.
But I'm all for ecumenical armistices, especially when it comes to taking down an alien freak like The Kenyan who thinks Abortion is a festive thing.
I even like Catholic schools, 'cuz the girls all wear the cute plaid jumpers. Or at least I did when I was a teen-ager...so the "anti-" bit just ain't me. Let's just call it...an expectation.
We let you stay with the condition that you behave yourselves: no more massacres, no more Papa this, Pope that...no Iron Maidens for the Un-Believers. Civic Responsibility! Adopt a few of the Protestant ideals...admit the Reformation had a few good points.
I go to church with the wife (she's one of y'all). Parking lot full of Obama bumper stickers. Uh, not at the Baptist meeting house. "ABO" most everywhere there.
But at the Catholic church, they've been adding a complaint about being forced to do something morally repugnant to them, and asking everyone to say a prayer that this ends.
I like that. A little glimmer of light in the darkness: maybe they're getting it.
So to me, it seems that a certain group has been soiling the house we let them into. Political thugs, agitation for amnesty, etc...time for them to do a little soul searching and decide to make it right.
It's only the future of the world you have in your hands.
