Thoughts on the Antichrist, Part II

Taki has more from Scott P. Richert on political double standards:

When the spiritual head of Christendom opposes the war you wish to launch, you take his opposition very seriously. We might not be surprised that a non-Catholic President would feel no compunction in simply disregarding the direct and insistent appeal of Pope John Paul II to refrain from war; but what excuse do his Catholic supporters have? After his electoral loss, Rick Santorum did not search for a job promoting the Catholic "values" upon which he had risen to power and fame; instead, he has taken a position as senior fellow at the neoconservative Ethics and Public Policy Center where he established, and now directs, the "America's Enemies" program. There have been almost 50 million abortions in the United States since 1973; but for this Catholic "social conservative," the greatest threats to America just happen to be Iran and Syria.

I read that post. I think the logic on Santorium is pretyy flawed. But to be honest the hyprocracy on that blog is applaing. While they talk about how some catholics are selective, I notice that site has a link to the very racist VDARE and other groups that are working against any Catholic understanding of how to put Christ in our immigration laws. As a conservative Republican that saw Catholic Senators like Sen Brownback crucifyed by them I take there moralizing with a grain of salt
