BULLETS
May 2008
- “I am a devout Christian,” Barack Obama told voters just before Ohio’s primary. It’s not too reassuring to hear someone vouch for his own piety, particularly when he’s scrounging for votes.
- Elliot Spitzer championed NARAL and abortion rights and bullied pro-life organizations and the Catholic Church. He’s a male feminist to the core: Client 9: protector of a woman’s right to whore for him.
- Dancing with the Devil? We wonder whether more Catholics watched the NCAA basketball tournament on Good Friday than went to the Celebration of the Lord’s Passion? After all, Georgetown, San Diego, Mount St. Mary’s, Saint Joseph’s, Gonzaga, Siena, Villanova, and Saint Mary’s all played that day.
April 2008
- The tree of life? Furniture maker Craig O'Connor of Bensalem, PA, said the Lord’s image appeared in a slice of wood. “We had to cut down these three trees and immediately we saw it,” O'Connor said. “It was such an adrenaline rush to look on it.” A good Catholic, he tried to sell it on eBay. “The best offer I got was $500,” he said. “That cheese sandwich sold for $28,000. I think this log is worth as much.”
- And liberals say conservatives are living in the past? “Re-create ’68” is the slogan of the coalition of anti-war groups vowing to protest at the Democratic National Convention. Perhaps they’ve fond memories of the King and Kennedy assassinations and the Chicago riot of ’68?
- “I should never have had an abortion. I see now I would have been a good mum,” wrote Emma Beck in her suicide note, adding “I told everyone I didn't want to do it, even at the hospital. I was frightened, now it is too late. I died when my babies died. I want to be with my babies: they need me, no-one else does.” Said her mother: “She was only going ahead with the abortion because her boyfriend did not want the twins.” The British coroner ordered that the identities of the abortionist and the lead pregnancy counselor be kept secret, saying “I am reassured by the evidence of the doctors here.” After all, they accomplished their objective, right?
March 2008
- Suggestions that Bill Clinton’s campaign style is unbecoming an ex-president bemused us. Is there anyone who thinks Bill incapable of demeaning the Oval Office?
- The “surge” succeeded? Mission Accomplished, again?
- Rudy Giuliani was perhaps the most macabre Catholic politician we’ve seen. Hopefully, this campaign was his last hurrah.
The final page of each monthly issue of Culture Wars consists of short commentary, entitled Bullets, written by James G. Bruen, Jr. This web page is a sampling of Bullets from recent issues.
