Dear John (McCain): I did not bother to read closely the Phil Gramm interview in Saturday's WSJ. I read enough to confirm that he is a poor excuse for an economist. His rediculous commitment to outrageous CEO pay is in obvious contrast to what I believe is your position. It is time to can Phil; appoint Jack Kemp your TreasSec designate, ASAP! Also, I am disappointed to read Dick Armey write in this month's IMPRIMIS (from Hillsdale Colege) that George Washington could have been king if he so chose. Certainly James Madison would have objected, so too, I think, would even alex Hamilton! Armey does not seem to know that the Convention gave us a provision forbiding the granting of tittles of nobility. I had hoped that Ronald Reagan would have contemplated this provision before bowing his knee to the queen of England in order to be knighted!

Craig: I must vote the Vatican as the most corrupt regime, and the most corrupt regime since at least Gregory the Great. I was just thinking today that Thomas a Becket was probably delusional. PJB does not seem to reckon the RCC an empire, but it surely is. I will go so far as to blame the Vatican for the abortion holocaust it claims to oppose. The death of Paul Hill by lethal injection, under the signature of nominally Catholic (he too has a "warrior queen") Jeb Bush amoumts to human sacrifice at the hands of the Jesuit cabal. But, as I have written elsewhere, we have an Ezra. I do believe that American catholics have had some positive impact on the USA. Roger Taney was not completely worthless, in spite of Dred Scott. He was right in opposing Daniel Webster in the case involving the question of the Boston bridge (I forget the exact name.) He was brother-in-law to Francis Scott Key, so I presume that he agreed with the "Conquer We Must" doctrine. Also, I recently read that it was some Catholic who first endored the radicalism of the Boston Tea Party. I was just this Sunday "trespassed" at the Baptist Church I have been attending for 5 years or so. I delivered my copy back via a friend, with the message that it was not worth the paper. Larry the preacher boy violated a fundamental tenant of Baptist churches in not asking the congregation to "trespass" me. Of course the whole idea of a church using the power of the state is as old as the Papacy. I think it was the prior Sunday, I went singing through the parking lot at St. James RCC, and the parking attendant came racing out to tell me to leave. Of course, I was already off the property before me was 10 out of the building. The WSJ reported Monday concerning Planned Parenthood building mega-centers. These will be marked for destruction. I did not agree with Anthony Kennedy on GITMO; however, the decision to reverse the death penalty for a man who "raped" his granddaughter seems to me to be correct. I recall being in a chapel meeting at Columbia Bible College, and the speaker was actually bragging that a woman in the congregation accused her husband of molesting their infant. I must first point out that "rape" is a much abused word. It should mean something more than simply forcing oneself on the "vicitim". Rape to me goes along with Pillage. Also, it makes a difference whether the victim is male or female. The average conservative talking head will not agree with me, for fear, probably, of having to acknowledge that all sodomy is more heinous than any kind of herterosexual "rape."
