    barrelofmonkeys commented on the blog post Jon Stewart Takes On STOCK Act Repeal

    My senator’s office would not tell me his position on this issue. Pretty amazing that my senator is the Assistant Majority Leader and Harry Reid introduced the bill. This was a “no fingerprints” bill. BTW, the senator’s office later described the concern as one of national security and said that they would send me a letter to that effect.

    I thought that Mahoney was relieved of administrative and public duties. Apparently not, as I saw a video clip of him in Rome walking to the conclave and celebrating mass at a basilica in Rome. WTF?

    Why should I care about some delusional college kid’s fantasy?

    I’d much rather deport Wayne LaPierre, but his origins appear to be scrubbed from the Internet.

    Isn’t this Obama’s cue to offer more concessions? Just asking.

    Did you really think that you were going to get a full loaf? Here we go again–and I thought that his experience with Romney gave him a spine.

    It escapes me as to why Obama is playing with social security, which is not entitlement spending, but a liability to people who have paid into this system.

    Unless I am clueless, any plane or embassy is vulnerable. All it takes is a burning resentment and an RPG.

    2012-03-07 19:33:13View | Delete

    Further, why would they want votes from anyone who had premarital sex or used porn?

    Ahh, the bubble dejour. This isn’t a national security issue? Time to clear out the speculators.

    Santorum happens.

    barrelofmonkeys commented on the blog post Rick Santorum’s Fantasy About Stewards of the Earth

    2012-02-20 07:48:24View | Delete

    False choice. Santorum may believe in dominionism, but this issue is not about dominionism or non-dominionism–it is about sustainability of the human race. Rick, sorry to say, you can’t go home again.

    2012-02-19 16:59:02View | Delete

    Spot on. My question is if Santorum accepts the church’s claim of papal infallibility and how he would regard counsel from the Pontiff.

    barrelofmonkeys commented on the blog post Catholic Bishops Want More Concessions

    2012-02-11 11:57:42View | Delete

    I read that 28% of Catholic institutions are not even in compliance with the Church’s demand and presently offer birth control as part of their health plans.

    Confirmed: Walker and Blago were joined at birth. The posturing is way too familiar. Measure for stripes.

    barrelofmonkeys commented on the blog post Washington’s Catholic Hierarchy Attempts a Secular Argument Against Marriage Equality

    2012-01-15 11:35:00View | Delete

    Too much communion wine. The restriction on close-blood marriages is to avoid genetic disorders in offspring. In fact, close-blood marriages are a grounds for annulment in the catholic church, as well.

    Why does PBS continue to syndicate the McLaughlin Group?
