Just so that no one assumes that Lex thinks only Islam is populated by BS merchants

Yesterday the Pope told the world that “You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others."  Uh so sorry, but to borrow one worn out BS idea to debunk another, yes we can.  And let me be the first to say, if the Pope truly believes the nonsense he uttered, the Pope is a dope.  If he expects Catholics to parrot his idiocy he is…well…an idiot.

I watched Bill Donohue from the Catholic League and a Catholic priest try to explain away the Pope’s lunacy on Hannity last night. They were tied into knots when a gal - Kirsten Powers – asked if it was OK for Muslims offended by women who refused to cover themselves head to toe in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to throw acid in the faces of the women.  During the exchange, Powers put Donohue in his place with one question, “Why are you yelling at me?”

The big difference between Catholics and Muslims is that we don’t kill people for photographing a crucifix in a jar of urine.  We are more offended by the fact that public funds are used for the production and distribution of such rubbish.  Is the Pope saying Catholic would be justified to visit violence upon people who disrespect the Catholic faith?  I doubt it.  Here’s what the Pope meant.  Be nice.  Do unto others as you’d have them do unto you.  That’s not what he said.

So this is round two or three for this socialist loving, open borders promoting, warm-mongering, anti-free speech Pope.  Just a reminder for the Pope:  The mission of the Catholic Church is to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.  In that regard, how the church will pursue that mission, the Pope is infallible.  With regard to social issues such as economic policy, climate policies, the extent of free speech in civil society etc. – he is well outside his infallibility zone.  

The practical aspect of all of this is that Lex needs to withhold more from the offering plate.  I do not want to support an anti-capitalist, anti-free speech agenda coming from the Catholic Church – so, I won’t.  I’ve decide to drop food into the bank instead.  Mrs. Lex, always the practical one, asked when was the last time you went to the grocery store?  Hmm, unless the food bank takes beer - my one known location in the ginormouse Kroger - that may be a problem.  I’ll work it out.

The Rev? Al Not-So-Sharp-ton PO’d at Oscar
Apparently, there were not enough nominees of color for the Rev?.  There never are.  And if they all don’t win, well then – no justice no peace.  Rev? Al being PO’d at Oscar is sort of like Bonnie being PO’d at Clyde.  They are birds of a feather.  I’m delighted that these two should be going after one another.  I’ve not been so delighted since the ChiComs got their commie bastard azzes whipped by the commie bastard Vietnamese.  My hope is this rift between Rev? Al and Oscar lasts until one assumes room temperature.  Go get ‘em Al.  Tell him to eff off Oscar.
