Christian Conservatives in Texas finally show their true colors

10 December 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 8 Comments

Mixed feelings about Wikileaks

2 December 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 1 Comment

By now, the subject of Wikileaks has become a phenomenon discussed in many of the world capitals, and certainly a subject of the current news cycle. Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, is being sought both under Intepol and American warrants. What is his crime? Well, it depends to whom you talk? Of course, Sweden […]

Is the question justice or convictions?

19 November 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 3 Comments

I am quoting from part of an article that came out on Fox News today (11/18/2010): The White House is pushing back against criticism of its commitment to prosecuting some terror suspects in civilian courts after a federal jury convicted former Guantanamo Bay detainee Ahmed Ghailani on only one of 285 charges. Ghailani was convicted […]

Sometimes you get what you want and you don’t like it

13 November 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 6 Comments

Over the last three to four years, but most especially the last couple of years, there has been an outcry in this country to both increase security and to resolve the financial problems of this country. Lately, I have read both a story and seen reports that make me sigh. As expected, people are quite […]

6 November 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 1 Comment

Have you noticed that there has been a rash of either fired or suspended news media reporters? From Juan Williams to now Keith Olbermann the rash of suspensions has been interesting and rather sad. There have been others fired or suspended but these are the most recent two. In fact, it has been open season […]

Country whipping around

4 November 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 1 Comment

Well, the last two years politically have been a type of roller coaster. Two years ago the Republicans were thrown out. Now two years later, the Democrats are thrown out of the House of Representatives. I am fairly sure that we are in for another two years of turmoil. If nothing else, I suspect that […]

31 October 2010 · by  5 Comments

Not being able to distinguish between real racists and tea partiers, […]

30 October 2010 · by  4 Comments

In case you are wondering, the cartoon above is what the Republicans are counting on. Below is an e-mail that Father Orthoduck received from a Democrat. It does exemplify a limited collective memory. After The 8 Years Of The Bush/Cheney Disaster, NOW You Get Mad? You didn’t get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a […]
