A few days ago, Cardinal George of Chicago fretted to local Fox News
that next year’s Gay Pride parade might go past a church where Mass was
being said: “You don’t want the gay liberation movement to morph into
something like the Ku Klux Klan, demonstrating in the streets against
Catholicism.”
Meanwhile, Newt Gingrich begged a few hundred supporters in Hiawatha, Iowa, “When you see one of these guys ask them, ‘How can you keep running this negative stuff?'”
About the same time, Benedict XVI was visiting a prison in Rome when some HIV-positive inmates asked what they should do about being addressed “in aggressive terms” and made to feel “subhuman.” “They also speak aggressively about the Pope,” he sniffed, “yet nonetheless we persevere.”
And yesterday, Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX) excused the surrender to Santa Obama: “”I am willing to fight on…but House Republicans felt like they were
reenacting the Alamo, with no reinforcements and our friends shooting at
us.”
It’s beginning to sound a lot like…Whine-nachten.
