The Muslim Brotherhood wants Spain back. Can the Christians have Egypt in exchange? – Telegraph Blogs:
Yes, what date will be the universal reset button where things go back to where they were before bad things happened?
Every time I hear a White American confess his guilt at stealing North America from the Indians, I wonder about how many Turks feel bad about taking Asia Minor from the Greeks.
Crickets chirp.
You know who lands belong to? The people with the balls to hold them.

His Teen Brain Made Him Do It!
Boston Marathon Bomb Suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's Teen Brain Might Have Been Easily Swayed - ABC News:
ABC also reports that he said his brother was motivated by hate for America's wars against Muslims and that they had been followers of (dead) American jihadist Anwar Al-Alwaki...
But his teen boy brain...

Charlie Chan on parenting
Enjoying a 1935 Charlie Chan mystery and watching his interaction with Number 2 Son, this phrase came to me: High investment, low romance.
Chan (and wife, presumably) have made a huge investment in the kid, with high expectations, but without romancing him.
Current (White) parenting --which comes down to mothering-- is far too high in romance with the kids. Giving love in hopes of getting it returned.
Another grain of wisdom from your local childless male observer.

Popery
Some of Jorge Bergoglio's pre-papal ideas and opinions appear in a new book. Best line: feminism is machismo in skirts.
He's an anti-death penalty fundamentalist [1]. Anti-abortion, too. Anti-gay marriage.Thinks that the practice of moving "pedophile" priests around to new places was "a stupid idea." Wants irregularly married Catholics to come to church, but not communion. Thinks women are important, but not capable of being priests. Etc. All in all, pretty Catholic.
Preaching on his birthname feast day today to assembled cardinals in Rome, he joked that Jerusalem's sending of Barnabas to check out the fledgling Gentile ministry (Acts 11) was the beginning of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (the son of the Inquisition.) And made it very clear that you can't have Jesus without belonging to the Mother Church, on which he quoted Jesuit founder St Ignatius Loyola: the Church "hierarchical and Catholic."
Foot kissing man of the people he may be, but when it comes to content, it's Popery all 'round.
[1] The very strong anti-death penalty attitude --theoretically ok but practically not-- is recent, though, no matter what they say. The 1912 Catholic Encyclopedia: "The infliction of capital punishment is not contrary to the teaching of the Catholic Church, and the power of the State to visit upon culprits the penalty of death derives much authority from revelation and from the writings of theologians. The advisability of exercising that power is, of course, an affair to be determined upon other and various considerations."
PS. I confess, with shame, that I was gonna title this post A Potpourri of Popery, but lacked the nerve.

More Trudeaupian wisdom from Shiny Pony
Harper slams Trudeau for comments on Boston bombings - Yahoo! News Canada:
Justin told us that "over the coming days" it would be necessary to "look at root causes." He continued, "We don't know if it was terrorism, or a single crazy, or a domestic issue or a foreign issue — all those questions. But there is no question that this happened because of someone who feels completely excluded, someone who feels completely at war with innocence, at war with society." Trudeau finished by saying that it was important not to "marginalize people even further who already feel like they are enemies of society rather than people who have hope for the future."
All about their feelings...
I suppose he'll bring the same depth analysis to Canada's own terrorism problem.
Christ, what a moron.

Back door admission?
Boston Marathon Bombing Suspect Will Not Be Charged As Enemy Combatant:
Jay Carney: " ...it is important to remember that since 9/11 we have used the federal court system to convict and incarcerate hundreds of terrorists."
Hundreds?
Is this a back door admission that while Big Sis Napolitano talks about "man caused disasters" --sooooo sexist--maybe there might just be a Muslim jihad terrorism problem?
Really, Jay?

Liberal ducks
The basics of liberal discourse on the Boston bombers' attack on America, as they scratch their mush-filled heads in a vain attempt to imagine what could have driven "these two young men" to this desperate act?
Speak of "Worse Than I Thought"
Huffington Post Religion and Spirituality page for today:
A "spiritual" menagerie.
And sometimes, Christians just need to shut up.
And here we have a jaw-dropping level of banality and mush from "Catholic" PhD candidate Craig Considine. Mother of God. What a moron.
Ah, turns out he's in a sociology program. Ça explique tout.

PS. Just occurred to me what an odd name that is for a Celt. And a Celtic name it is. Turns out that it's from MacConsaidin...son of Constantine. So it is an odd name for a Celt.
