Wow. I can't tell who you hate more, whites or catholics. Substitute black and jew or black and muslim and this diatribe would have pulled instantly. Answer this how can someone be ecumenically linked to a religion, if they have abandoned their faith? By greed or politics berhaps. Boy these popes sure are busy, aren't they? Oh, by the way, that stuff that Dan Brown writes, is fiction!

Try this theory on for size. John Kennedy was put into office by mob funding. When he started after the mob, he was killed. Is that too simple for your conspiratorial mind? How about this one? An uneducated electorate found they could get stuff from the government if they voted for bad people. As more people got on the dole the polititions became more corrupt and everyone just ran out of money to steal. If our electorate were civic minded, instead of being stupid and greedy, they would vote for decent representatives and America would not have squandered it's wealth on lost causes. I don't believe in Utopia, and I certainly did not think Utopia was high unemployment, a collapsed dollar, two wars overseas, and an economy in the tank. All you utopians who have been living off the largess of the "rich" are going to have to find a way to get by. You have just inherited the earth.

MPC, for and apparent republican conservative defender you seem to have forgotten, or have never been properly instructed in correct Biblical prophecy, nor actual world or American abuses by the papacy history.. Funny how all this fighting for freedom and forced democracy has brought us to the fascism you yourself whine and cry about consistently.. This entire last five centuries alone can be specifically tied into today's current events and final global one world governance which will allow a single elite group to actually think they own this planet and all of humanity, who wants this ? and has wanted this for seven or more centuries ? If you think America is really free - try speeding sometime,try to smoke cannabis because you don't like poisonous alcoholic beverages, try to sleep on public property because you have lost everything due to crooked bankers and governments who protect them and not you, try to not pay your property taxes on your home you own free and clear, and watch them come remove you from it and take it away from you, try and keep all your income you created with your two hands because you know the truth that it is not constitutional for them to force you to voluntarily comply, and not one law says you must comply, try doing anything on public lands or even your own private lands without a permit, You think free speech is real, and we have open markets in America, ask your self then why does the author of this reply own several American written books, not allowed to be published or brought forth into the market place for you to have the opportunity to choose them for your self, soon in free America we'll have GPS meters on our cars, meters on our private wells, meters in our wrists via RFID chips with all our health and banking info on it, United Nations Environmental Nazi police home invasions to inspect your carbon footprints, all based on the hugest hoax (global Warming) orchestrated in history, $15,000 health package minimum coverage, try not complying with this nonsense, five years in prison, $250,000 fine, try speaking out about it, posting the truth all over the web, the SILENCE ROARS. The yoke is there, whether folks care to see it or not, take the blue pill, cowards can live another day if their lucky.. YAA, thanks a bunch Vets...For fighting for a pile of lies, What a fitting end for CFR-controlled Tom Brokaw’s “The Greatest Generation.�

god, ur a freak. im sure u think the moon landing was a hoax.

He is a freak, pretty bad when freaks are right.

Buried on page 18, paragraph 38, of the negotiating text of the Copenhagen Protocol to the Climate Change Treaty, are these words:

"The scheme for the new institutional arrangement under the Convention will be based on three basic pillars: government; facilitative mechanism; and financial mechanism..."

The text goes on to define the Conference of the Parties (COP) as the government to oversee the "facilitative and financial mechanisms." The facilitative mechanism includes five agencies, one of which specializes in international monitoring, reporting, and compliance. The financial mechanism also includes five agencies, one of which specializes in compensation for losses and damages caused by excessive emissions from developed nations. If this language is adopted in Copenhagen, and the treaty is ratified by the Senate, every American who uses energy will be subject to a United Nation's agency empowered to monitor energy use, collect taxes, fines, and other revenues for redistribution to other nations.

You go get em Greg

My View:
This is a reply to your reply.

The conservative position has always been to deal freely with all people yet have no military entanglements. That is the Libertarian view, today. That is not what has been happening. We all had a chance to be great and yet we have sacrificed it all for a promise of a chicken in every pot.

How many conservative republicans do you know?

Not one, their communists as are their counter parts.. Force fed chicken sounds sooooo good.. The same thinkers invented the third politico version as well, no thanks, I'm a political party atheist.. I don't believe in the two headed one political party dogma for fools..

Dear Reply:

You know that I do not agree with you, either, politically. I do respect you; you are a good writer. I look forward to your column , every Wednesday. That being said, I give you s***, because you deserve it.
Happy Veteran's Day.

Repug,
While I never agree with mpc's politics, his closing comments above show some class that you clearly lack.
That said, in what branch of the service and which war did you serve?
