Sometimes A ComBox Posting Takes On A Life Of It's Own
This is one of them

Helmet tip to the enigmatic Patrick

I recently did a posting in regards to the Bishop of Little Rock, Arkansas defaming to late General Robert E. Lee.

I've just received another combox posting from the same man who alerted me to the Rbt E. Lee attack;
Here is a 12/6/10 Taylor homily that is just as anti military and anti American as the Lee smear. Read this knowing that Taylor was a conscientious objector in the 60's. He has professed it many times publicly. His pathalogical hypocrisy and convoluted interpretation of history are on full display in this article. Most of his social teachings in Arkansas are heavily laced with a Marxist strain of liberation theology. In my opinion, his world view holds white capitalists as the predominate oppressor he references in this article. http://www.arkansas-catholic.org/columns/column.php?id=1972Well, I went to that particular web page... and a more broad-brushed, anti-American, half-truthed liberal drivel put to paper, you'll be hard pressed to find. Here's some of it; (Emphasis mine)
Everyone knew it was suicide to defy the Romans and King Herod, their puppet, so they just acted like confronting these evils was none of their business. John the Baptist, however, believed that nothing is impossible for God and that faithfulness to God requires that we confront evil, regardless of what it may cost us personally, even at the cost of our very life.

So John did what he could to make straight the path of freedom, level oppressors and call people to conversion before it was too late.

Our world today is not that much different from that of previous generations.

People and nations -- including our own -- continue to pursue power, possessions, pleasure and prestige at the expense of the poor and vulnerable. Sexual immorality -- and even worse, abortion -- continues to cause tremendous damage to individual lives and to our society as a whole.

And isn't it true that we mostly act like confronting these evils is none of our business? Pearl Harbor should have taught us the foolishness of failing to confront evil until it's too late. And no matter what kind of evil.

Evil destroys, enslaves, oppresses and exploits. Remember, nothing is impossible for God. Like John the Baptist, we too are called to do what we can -- in our time -- to make straight the path of freedom, level oppressors and call people to conversion, before it's too late.

How dare this man. How dare he.

I won't get into the nuts and bolt of how patently full of shit his "homily" is, suffice it to say that I'll give two basic reminders to him of that horrible nation that he is so fortunate to reside in -- the same nation that "continue to pursue power, possessions, pleasure and prestige at the expense of the poor and vulnerable".

1. Presider Taylor, millions of Americans have died to liberate oppressed peoples throughout the entire world. You've desecrated not only their memory, but their ultimate sacrifice as well. You should be ashamed of yourself.

2. Presider Taylor, if this nation is so driven by such an evil as you've described, when why is it that millions of those who purposefully break the emigration laws of this nation (thus classifying themselves as 'evil') continue to throng to this very same evil country? The same law-breakers that you're so enamoured with?

Hypocrisy, thy name is Taylor.
