The Holy Catholic Church and Self Love

OK people. Most of you know me and know that I am a student of religion. I study as much as I can about as many religions as I can in order to understand the whole deal better.
Now, that being said, I have hit upon some hard times lately and I don't have cable. In fact I have rabbit ears, which many of you born in the late '80's would have no idea about. Anyway, I only get a like 7 stations and one of those is EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network) a product of the Holy Roman Catholic Church.
To give you some back ground, I was born and raised Catholic. I went to Catholic school from 6th to 8th grade and, for the most part, I love the Church for it's history, tradition, and pageantry. Yes I know that it is propagating a fallacy, but you know what, that's OK by me. Most people blow them off when they get really out of line.
Anyway, I was watching this priest tonight who sounded a lot like Sean Connery. This guy went through the ten commandments (fifteen commandments if you have seen History of the World) and sure enough he got to the 6th commandment... Thou shall not commit adultery. And in true off the wall fashion, he included "impure thoughts" masturbation, and of course pre-marital sex as adultery. Guilty, guilty, and guilty. Now, my flock, these are "MORTAL SINS" which pretty much means if you ever saw a hot chick and said "Wow she's hot." or ever beat you meat, or ever shtoinked some chica you are pretty much going to hell unless you go and tell some 40year old virgin about it, ask for forgiveness, and say 30 Hail Mary's.
I can't even imagine that this ideology is still around. I mean, how ridiculous. To think that a natural human characteristic is a sin is baffling to me. This is the kind of shit that pisses me off. Granted, Catholics never tried to blow me up with an IED but this is still some shit I don't need. I've done enough bad stuff in my life (thank you Kirk and 7-11) that I don't need some jerk telling me I'm going to hell for slapping my salami.
I thought this shit was over, man. But to give the audience credit, when this priest was going off about this, they were pretty much frozen in their seats, not knowing how to react to such nonsense. Yet the "beat" goes on. And I assure you, having once gone over 30 days without any... outlet, for my sinful ways, you don't want a world full of pissed off and horny guys roaming the streets, 'cuz somebody is getting their ass kicked... people get shot like that. Am I off on this or what?

Two in the pink...

Well I have said it before and I will say it again, America is slowly but surely making our way towards oblivion. I have spoken about illegals, terrorists and Islamists and it always seems to fall on deaf ears. People blow me off when I say that I'm not convinced about global warming, they brush me off when I say our legal system is self destructing and they don't believe me when I say there are, no matter how loving and caring you are, there are some people in this world that would just as soon kill you as have dialog with you, even if you are out there supporting their "cause". Please see the Christian peace activists who went to Iraq when I was there who were subsequently captured and either tortured and held captive or tortured and found face down in the Tigris . By the terrorists, not by us thank you very much.

I recently heard of a group that for some reason has flown under my radar as of late. Shame on me for not paying more attention but now that they are in my sights I will be sure to keep up on them. Code Pink is the name of the grou. This group actually gets city funding and spends their time protesting and defacing Marine recruitment centers and the other morning on Fox News said they advocate the assassination of US Marines on sight. On their website Code Pink says "We reject the Bush administration's fear-based politics that justify violence, and instead call for policies based on compassion, kindness and a commitment to international law. With an emphasis on joy and humor, CODEPINK women and men seek to activate, amplify and inspire a community of peacemakers through creative campaigns and a commitment to non-violence"

With an emphasis on joy and humor... I have no words. International relations with an emphasis on joy and humor. They say the Bush administration has fear based politics and let me tell you, if they had seen some of the things I and others who have served have seen, they would be hiding in a closet in the fetal position rocking back and forth saying "There's no place like home. There's no place like home." They don't know what fear is. They don't know what is out there. In fact they are so insane, they actually protested in front of Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco home because the blood of innocents were on her hands and it was "her war". My God... Pelosi just said "You're not my constituents." and walked on. When Nancy Pelosi denounces you for being a Liberal douche you have to be in another realm of being.

The Berkeley City Council this week voted to tell the Marines their downtown recruiting station is not welcome and "if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome guests," according to The Associated Press.

Are they retarded? Since when does some backwards city council have the right to tell a branch of the federal government they are not welcomed? If indeed they are not welcome then no federal money should be welcomed and to that end, no state funding either since the state also gets federal funding.

I actually find it humorous that this group of insane women (more insane than the rest of them anyway) doesn't support us going over there to help these people out. Let me tell you a little bit about how women are treated in Iraq. In 130 plus degree heat, you will find a man driving a pickup truck with his 5 and 10 year old sons (and oddly enough a dog once), comfortably in the cab with the AC on and his wife, three daughters, and a grandma in a black, head-to-toe burka, in the bed of the truck, bouncing along a bumpy dirt canal road. When I was in the Kuwaiti airport the women, with eyes only exposed, with all seven kids in tow, walked 5 steps behind the men. Women are in fact possessions over there and I would truly enjoy seeing the Code Pink chicks become the property of men. Hell I would have three or four just to do it. I might even convert just so I could.

And now we find out Al Qaida has been using retarded women as suicide bombers (well, more retarded than the rest of them anyway). And I'm not using the word retarded off the cuff, I mean they are literally using women that are mentally retarded as "suicide bombers." "There has to be a limit to the depravity!" You say. NO! you soft, lazy, egocentric American! There isn't! This is even worse then when we saw "suicide bombers" handcuffed to steering wheels, just to find out their families were being held until after they detonated the car bombs. You have no idea what is out there. And as soon as we all recognize the fact that we cannot deal with these people as humans, the sooner we can be safe and get our guys out of there.

At least out of the Democrats Hillary understands what is out there. She may spout bull-shit to appease the Boulder types but when push comes to shove she knows. Obama just frightens me.

So, Code Pink, you call Bush and Rice "war criminals", I say take your plight to Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm sure you will find many sympathetic ears there. Hell I'll even pitch in for your airfare.
