THE AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE DECLARES A CHICKEN TO BE AN ASS

That much vaunted chronicler of all things true blue, The American Conservative magazine, has just declared a chicken to be an ass (at least many of its columnists have).

(Because it takes one to know one??)

That publication, in the person of a number of its columnists, has come out in favor of allowing two homosexually disturbed people to - get this - "marry" each other.   Yes.  A chicken is really an ass and the Mad Hatter makes perfect logical sense.  And they think ducks can fly backwards, too.  That is what passes for Conservatism now.  Is it any wonder why people have become increasingly fed up with those who claim to be conservative and who are nothing of the kind?  Or why they are now starting to believe that our Two Party system is comprised of Extreme Liberals and Conservative Liberals?

Over at the Chronicles website Tom Piatak points out the utter hypocrisy of this magazine.  What he says is very sound.

The whole "Conservative" or "Republican" charade has finally come to an end.  These people will sell their own Grandmothers into White Slavery rather than get a disapproving stare from sexual miscreants.  The number of those people still expecting any kind of substantial change under the Republicans is at last shrinking.  After decades of being stilleto-ed in the back by these gangsters with regard to abortion, personal freedoms, taxes and whatnot people are finally getting the picture that the Republicans are not and never have been our friends let alone the saviors of America.

It's quite amusing to see the lineup of "big name" conservatives all displaying their suicidal insanity.   Jim Jones must have trained them with his green KoolAid.  That list includes war-mongers like Dick Cheney, addled former first ladies like Laura Bush and bad movie directors like Clint Eastwood.  Not to mention the usual assortment of Congressclowns.  They are out there Stumping for Sodomy.  Too bad Lewis Carroll isn't still alive; what fun he'd have writing about this dismal crew. 

Pitiful, really.

At least we are beginning to see that the trust we placed in Republicans, or professional Conservatives for that matter, was misplaced.  It always was.  They are not the solution; they are the problem.  I cannot think of a single Conservative who has not betrayed the voters who sent him to office.  Even the celebrated Scott Walker, Governor of Wisconsin, has been backtracking faster than a speeding locomotive.  He has suddenly forgotten about all those spending cuts the over-taxed people of his state were expecting and has suddenly remembered lots of projects that suddenly require money from the public purse.  But he is just typical of the rest.  The American Conservative suits these politicians well.  It is not surprising at all that they have lost their marbles like nearly every other pundit on earth that talks about this sordid business.  We even have Catholic bloggers trying to find common ground on this issue.

Some Catholics even want to debate the topic.  Debate?  There is nothing to debate.  Debating with madmen about lunacy is not this writer's idea of spending productive time.

Some Saint, I forget which, (Catherine of Sienna?) has stated that buggery is so disgusting that even the devils look away in revulsion.

We now have a ringside seat at the beginnings of what is very much starting to look like an authentic persecution.  Brace yourself, and arm yourself with the weapons that Holy Church supplies: prayer, the Sacraments and mortification. 

And don't bother subscribing to The American Conservative.

UPDATE:

[St Catherine of Sienna:

They [the homosexuals] not only fail from resisting the weakness [of fallen human nature] .... but they do even worse when they commit the cursed sin against nature. Like the blind and stupid, having dimmed the light of their understanding, they do not recognize the disease and misery in which they find themselves. For this not only causes Me nausea, but is disgusting even to the devils themselves whom these depraved creatures have chosen as their lords.
For Me this sin against nature is so abominable that for it alone five cities were destroyed by virtue of the judgment of My Divine Justice, which could no longer bear their iniquity ....
It is disgusting to the devils not because evil displeases them or because they find pleasure in good, but rather because their nature is angelic and flees upon seeing such a repulsive sin being committed. For while certainly it is the devil that first strikes the sinner with the poisoned arrow of concupiscence, nonetheless when a man actually carries out such a sinful act, the devil goes away.

Food for thought.]
