		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps the comments,  &quot;Persistent critics called for more “conservative” voices, when what they really wanted was more of the same in terms of Catholic blogs–in other words, Republican Talking Points&quot;  has more to do with the observance of every day life for the average homosapien in this year of our Lord 2008, than some organized oppressive Catholic republican monopoly onslaught.  See last time I checked I can get leftist talking points, left of center talking points, slight left of center talking points with a bow on it, a subatomic particle to the left of center and  even leftist revisionist Christian talking points  from the following organizations every day ALL day: The mainstream media including, Print News, Magazines, Television, Film and Music, The Public School and University System, including a great number of our private catholic universities.   Do the writers of this blog actually believe they are &quot;Different&quot; because their frequent left of center editorial slants make them unique in the medium known as the  &quot;Blogosphere&quot;?  What, do you need a niche that bad?  Grow a goatee or something.    

P.S Do you get together with the other oppressed and meet in dark allies and draw fishes in the dirt to identify yourselves in secret?  Or maybe you can identify one another by simply opening your local newspaper in the morning, or perhaps walk over to the Social Studies department at Boston College, I dunno.  I could be wrong though so thanks for providing that &quot;Other Much Needed&quot; Voice.

And that is why we have an &quot;Us against them&quot; mindset, just like the topic of this post indicates.  And then our nameless &quot;they&quot; opponent can easily be vilified.

This happens on the left and on the right.  But more on the left than on the right, mostly because the left has drank more of the secular liberal kool-aid and wants the Church to conform to modern trends.]]></description>

As for Michael I. being a jackass, is that even a good argument against him? Frankly, although I think he **is** a jackass, it’s that quality which makes me like him. &lt;/I&gt;

Apolonio, be careful what you ask for. Want to see me &lt;I&gt;really&lt;/I&gt; act like a &quot;jackass?&quot; Get me started talking about music. :)

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;&quot;It’s not that Mark Shea has problems with Michael Iafrafe’s reaction to criticism; it’s that he does not like what Michael Iafrate believes in.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

BINGO!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mark,

When I came back from Mass, eating my McDonalds and checked to see what weird things people are saying here, I saw your apology and Mark Shea&#039;s and I was like..&quot;What the f***?!?&quot; The great thing about Christianity is that it is always surprising and always keeps us in wonder! The better question (than &quot;what the f&quot;) is, &quot;who is this Man? who did this?&quot; :-)]]></description>
