Daily Ramblings:
People Tell Me It's A Sin ...04/19/2005 07:36:15 pm
... but I just can't help myself from enjoying the reaction of the backbone of the Democratic Party to news like today's (the selection of Cardinal Ratzinger as Pope).
The first response is:
Oh goody. Another neocon in power.
And if that isn't worth the price of admission all by itself! "Neocon" is such a deliciously plastic term of abuse in these circles. When it can be applied to a German cardinal who has always (so far as anyone says) been a strict believer in and teacher of orthodox Roman Catholicism, it has truly gone way beyond the level of meaninglessness and into the stratosphere of looniness. When people are so incapable of defining their political enemies with anything resembling accuracy (preferring nonsensical catch-all labels), it says a great deal about their utterly bereft craniums.
And the patients at the DU institution continue:
"the deep moral sickness" of europe was a fave topic for ratzy and jp2. we are in for one hell of a ride. keep your eye out for commentary on how SOON they arrived at this decision. it's about money and power -- the blood cult wing of the theocrats is now in power in catholicism as well as protestantism.
and
I tell you for sure, this isn't going to bring any back This is BS. Maybe we'll get lucky he will "die in his sleep" like our 33 day "Progressive Pope" John Paul 1st, did. Yes, I'm an Ex-Catholic, and now I plan on staying that way.
and
The Vatican has become an arm of the neo-con/fundie movement in Amerika because it too has always been obsessed with power, and they see that right now that's where the power is.We're Da Vinci Code enthusiasts now. Non-affiliated, non-denominational spiritual deists, perhaps. We don't need no f'in churches to find our way through this life and into the next.
and
My thoughts exactly.
I'm Jewish, so it doesn't really affect me personally, but I know how much this can affect world affairs and it's not a very good sign. Not that I would wish anyone dead (well, almost anyone), but he certainly won't be around as long as JPII, for whom I had a lot of respect.and
Joined the Hitler Youth in 1941, became part of a flak unit in 1943...attended basic infantry training in 1945, and then deserted just prior to the end of the war. The two+ years of Hitler Youth indoctrination forms the bedrock of his current very conservative belief structure.
and a defender!
The Jerusalem Post defended Ratzinger against those charges yesterday. Now call me crazy,but if the Jerusalem Post defends you as a friend from charges of being a nazi and anti-semite you probably are aren't. Just go to http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/J... and read the damn editorial if you don't believe me. Now attack the guys conservative views rather than a bs smear.
and
One can call Pope Benedict XVI "the German Shephard"
After all, dog is God spelled backwards. (couldn't resist)and
They've pretty much made themselves irrelevant with this choice
On that wise note, I say, "enough." But damn, I love this stuff!
