Amanda Marcotte Resigns

Who is Amanda Marcotte you say? Oh yeah - she is one of the evil bloggers that was keeping William Donohue up late at night. Seems Uncle Bill had his panties in a bunch for the past week over Amanda and another blogger John Edwards refused to fire. Well today she gave it up.

My thinking on this has progressed over the last week. My initial reaction was to fire them both and move on. I was offended by their remarks. But then I remembered that document that extremists like Donohue dismiss as multiple choice - that pesky US Constitution. You know - gives us free speech, freedom of religion - freedom from tyrants and wannabe tyrants like Uncle Bill. I may disagree with the Ku Klux Klan, but they have their rights. I disagree with William Donhue who is in many ways like the Ku Klux Klan, and he has his rights to blather on. And I disagree with Amanda Marcotte regarding her dim views on Catholicism and Christianity, but she has her rights.

William Donohue has violated Amanda's rights and should be held accountable - that is why we will work with along with other bloggers to do. Read more...

I love being Catholic -but sometimes it is just down right embarrassing to see some of the loony tunes characters that attempt to represent us in the American Media. Amanda points out Francis Kissling in her blog, but what she fails to realize is that Kissling of Catholics for a Free Choice is just as bad as William Donohue and the Catholic League. Both are divisive and both have very little that is Catholic to offer. And just like the term "William Donohue is Sane" is a contradiction in terms - so is "Catholics for a Free Choice".

For awhile - let us reflect what is Catholic and what is not - and put to rest the division of William Donohue, Francis Kissling and Deal Hudson.
