---------- Filed by PAULY FONGEMIE, June 17, 2008 UNDERMINING FROM WITHIN: THE PERVASIVENESS OF THE INSIDIOUS TROJAN HORSE COMPLEX I tuned in this morning for the Laura Ingraham radio show only to learn that she is [I hope] temporarily not on the air, apparently from some contract dispute or something similar. In the meantime, her show is being hosted by guest "conservatives". Today's host was the erstwhile MS-NBC contributor, Monica Crowley, the biographer and champion of the late Richard Nixon who was in the vanguard of exporting contraception to developing countries, a betrayal of the natural law. If Crowley cannot get it right about Nixon it is to be expected she can't get it right about other aspects of the natural law. Now, no person in this world is all bad or all good. To her credit Miss Crowley is a champion of the ideal of traditional marriage and is aghast at the tyranny of the courts which rule from the bench, in this case, declaring that "gays" have a "right" to marry under the California constitution. At least this time they did not pretend to find penumbras---they merely lied boldly. Unfortunately Monica Crowley only served to undermine her own position and that of the cause of the natural law as safeguarded by Tradition. She just had to add a codicil to the Last Will and Testament of the sanctity of marriage by averring, without any reason---that would comport with the natural law or not---that we "have to have" 'civil unions' and 'domestic partnerships', just not actual marriage. But it was these two approbations that served to lead to "gay marriage" in the first place---the old tried and true method of evil established by "law" on the installment plan. Exactly why must we have these so-called unions and other legal entities to protect sinners from the wages of sin? She never provides any, just posits them as "must haves." This is not only intellectually dishonest, it is pusillanimous. As well as insulting to the intelligence of every honest and true blue conservative. It is also insulting to the homosexuals themselves. This approach merely convinces them how little some so-called conservatives think of them, how non-chalant and uncaring about their souls. We won't let you marry but you go ahead and sin anyway and we will allow you some civic protections, you poor dears, who cannot control yourselves, unlike the rest of us. It also demonstrates to them how weak we consider our own position because we feel constrained to bend their way by accepting their first arguments by which they have at last triumphed. How can they respect a conservative position such as this one purports to be? They cannot and will not, seeing us for the buffoons we have become. Monica went on to express outrage about the will of the people being scorned. Crocodile tears I think. It is the people, the very same people, the supposed majority, who refuse to throw out the bums and riff-raff who give us such judges in the first place and will continue to do so. The very same people who are up in arms over gas prices but not so much incensed by infanticide anymore. Guts for gas but no pluck for the preborn! Such a people have no fire in the belly for impeaching and recalling, the absolute civic duty of the people when the natural law is breached. The same people who waxed supreme over the virtues of the recently deceased Tim Russert, who, while effecting the face of a devout Catholic, made common cause with mass murderers in the womb, a scandal of monstrous proportions, if only shame and scandal had any authentic meaning anymore. Pat Buchanan is right, the cultural war is over and the enemy of Tradition and right reason, has won. How else to explain that the left's arguments have made such incursions in the camp of the supposed cause of the right? Things are not as they seem anymore and we ought to steel ourselves for more betrayals from our "friends". Laura Ingraham, where are you? This simply will not do! This fan does not glory in being a member of the Crowley crowd, that madding crowd not nearly far away enough! E-MAIL www.catholictradition.org/sound-off.htm
