Two Great Articles

Greetings all,
Just thought I'd link to a couple of great articles I came across today on the Townhall.com website:

Pornography Pretensions - The author of the article, Alan Sears, served in the Reagan administration in many capacities. One of the roles he served was as a member of the Attorney General's Commission on Pornography (here's to guessing no such commission has existed since the beginning of the Clinton administration). Sears pulls no punches in delving into the real motivations behind the movement to elevate all forms of pornography - including child pornography - to the status of protected free speech under the First Amendment (yet condemning homosexual acts during a Catholic homily gets labeled a "hate crime." Anyone else see something horribly wrong with this?). The article reinforces the truth that sin is by its very nature regressive.

Jesse Helms Vilified Worldwide - Jesse Helms, an icon of the late 20th century conservative movement, died on the 4th of July at the age of 86; and already I've lost count of the number of tributes (and hit pieces from his bitter ideological opponents) directed his way in the time since. Despite the title of the piece, anyone who's read Humberto Fontova won't be surprised to learn that this article pretty quickly segues into a full-frontal assault on the Communist Castro regime in Cuba. Actually, that's what makes the article - and Humberto Fontova in general - an entertaining read. Fidel Castro and Che Guevarra's most fervent apologists hate Fontova almost as passionately as they embrace Marxism. This article should leave no doubt as to why.

Pornography and Communism...I'm pretty sure I can draw a theological link between the two, aside from the obvious fact that lovers of both display a wanton disrespect for the dignity of the human person. I'll give the idea some more thought and get back to you :-). God bless!


In Jesus and Mary,
