No mention in the story of how the influx of workers will help American citizens find work.
No mention in NewsBusters about why being an asshole in regards to children isn't shitty.
The timing of the interview coincides with the Fortnight of Freedom the Catholic bishops have encouraged, starting Thursday, taking us through Independence Day. It is about prayer and fasting and educating. It is an ecumenical opportunity to get serious about the defense of this first freedom.
It is about the Catholic Church wanting a mulligan for breaking the law because centuries of made-up shit magically make preposterous misogyny OK.
And this is fun:
But they can grasp the fact that Catholic understanding of sexuality is part of a wider ethic, the same ethic underlying the Church’s witness on the death penalty or poverty or euthanasia.
Yeah, I can remember the Catholic Bishops going to the mattresses for opposing the death penalty like they just did for pretending not to understand the concept of "health insurance."
Assholes.
Also, assholes. It's all wonderful, but I liked this bit especially:
Still to come is an amendment on another egregious practice that lets some 15 states automatically enroll families for food stamps if they get federal home-heating subsidies. Some states mail heating subsidy checks of as little as $1 a month so families can qualify for federal food stamp benefits of as much as $130 a month.
HOLY SHIT STARVING FAMILIES GET $130 A MONTH.
For fifty bucks you could mulch 'em.
Fucking assholes.
