Obviously YOU think that this web site is an organ of the Democratic Party. I did not say that because I don't believe it is. > Actually, it's an organ of the left wing lunatic fringe, which is selectivly outraged by the liberation of a Muslim country, Iraq, whereas it studiously ignored the decades of violence by Saddam Hussein, as well as the violence in Afghanistan, Iran, N. Korea, Palestine, Cuba, Angola, Vietnam, Cambodia, Rwanda, Burundi, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Ehthiopia, Liberia - need I go on? Can you find me ONE violent totalitarian dictatorship that Fr. John Dear and his ilk have opposed? Can you find ANY concern by Fr. John Dear in the article posted by Mr. Gadgil for the VICTIMS of any totalitarian dictator, or ANY appreciation for the freedom and democracy taking root in Afghanistan and Iraq. > Bosco writes: > > Rather you chose to bring out and play your broken record > about Iraq, Iraq aniek time, ani aniek time more Iraq..... > Mario responds: > So, let me get this straight. Others can post the most vicious and vile critiques of the liberation of the 25 million Muslim Iraqis by mostly Christian coalition forces over and over again like broken records, and I'm supposed to keep quiet when they do this? As they say up in your neck of the woods, "How does that make any sense, eh?" > Bosco writes: > > Mario responds to Gadgil: > > > I don't think Jesus was as selectively nonviolent as Fr. > Dear seems to be.

I have no idea what Mr. Gadgil feels about all this. > Regarding your comment that I am grasping at straws when I said that Jesus violently ejected the money changers from the temple, I think you will find that he actually did this, according to the Bible. In case you are likely to be selectively outraged, AGAIN, I am NOT suggesting that Jesus is as violent as Saddam Hussein, or those who violently deposed him. Saddam was more like Pontius Pilate and Jesus like one of his victims. > BTW, did they report up in Canada that they just found ANOTHER mass grave in Karbala? When will you lefties grasp the fact that Saddam himself was a walking, talking WMD? The missing ones you focus on are still hidden somewhere like the rat hole that Saddam was found in and the skeletons in these mass graves - they didn't disappear into thin air. > Apparently, all you left wingers are used to selective outrage as I notice you tacitly accept, by your silence on the issue, Fr. John Dear's (alleged Jesuit priest) allegation that the Holy family were "abjectly poor" and "homeless refugees", which are Biblical falsehoods.
