Perhaps there is some truth the allegation that most Republicans don’t really want abortion to end. If it did, they wouldn’t have a wedge issue to rally voters around.
Pro-Life Movement Too Successful?

On Cartoon Villains
Funky alerted me recently to an article by Annie Gottlieb, an accomplished and interesting author and friend of Ales Rarus, who advertises what purports to be a serious opposition to traditionalism in Towards a New Revelation (or, Why I Am Not a Traditionalist) over on AmbivaBlog. Since this site is frequented by a good many traditionalists, and owned by one (tho’ occasionally I’ve my doubts about that), he thought it might be edifying to here critically examine Ms. Gottlieb’s post. As you might expect, as a traditionalist I beg to differ with her.

Cheney Shot His Friend, Not the Prime Minister of England
I’m listening to Jerry Bowyer right now. He just read an email that described an amusing antedote to much ado about bird shot. Let’s send as many brown paper bags as possible to the major news outlets so they can stop hyperventilating. 😉
Red vs. Blue…and Purple and Green and Yellow…
I’m not the libertarian that Fr. Jim is, but I still agree with this sentiment.
"Listening to the politicians and talking heads,…one would never suspect that there was anything but the two polar extremes [of conservatives and liberals]."
What’s he talking about? A recent Gallup poll:
"The Gallup Poll’s annual survey on government found that 27% of Americans are conservative; 24% are liberal, up sharply because the poll was taken after Katrina, which boosted support for the proposition that ‘government should do more to solve our country’s problems.’ Gallup also found — this year as in others — that 20% are neither liberal nor conservative but libertarian, opposing the use of government either to ‘promote traditional values’ or to ‘do too many things that should be left to individuals and businesses.’ Another 20% are ‘populist’ (supporting government action in both areas), with 10% undefined."
I suspect I’m part of that lonely 10%. *sigh*
