Another great posting from The Roving Medievalist:
A Political Rant
Have a look at THIS and THIS. It seems some of the leaders of the "Religious Right" want to support a third party, since it appears Giuliani will win the Republican nomination. In other words, they want to hand the Presidency to Hillary Clinton, on a silver platter.
I'm sick to death of the political bullshit I've ignored in the political naivete of "Catholic" blogging.
First, the worst mistake the pro-life cause, which I support, made was allowing itself to be led by loony Evangelicals. It wasn't easy to support back when nutcases were blowing up clinics and shooting doctors and it's not easy now, with some of the baggage that's being attached. Who suffers from this? The children who die because the cause is ineptly led.
Second, the next worst mistake was allowing the cause to be made a partisan issue, which could easily have been avoided. There are a hell of a lot of pro-life Democrats, and ( Yes, hard as it may be to get through your thick skulls. ) pro-life liberals. The pro-life cause was hijacked by political opportunists for the advancement of one party. That party, in case you haven't noticed, is sick of the Evangelical buffoons and is distancing itself from them. Since most Republican politicians, in their personal lives, show the morals of polecats, the fact that the pro-life position isn't being advanced shouldn't be surprising.
And, for crying out loud! The pro-life cause needs to learn PR 101. NO MALE SPOKESMEN! Get women to do it. They're the ones who need to present the case publicly.

Fr. Charles Ledderer, The Dakotas, USA you are impersonating a Catholic priest. Your identity is fictitious. There are people on here that are believing you. I am asking you not to trick people anymore.
