According to Sarah Palin, who didn't know that Africa is a continent.<BR/><BR/>And who knows in her mind where she thought it was. all these years! I have to wonder if she ever stopped to look at a globe. Good grief! And to think she could have been a VP - heaven did forbid!butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684946870144030594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-90199086960213795232008-11-10T19:21:00.000-07:002008-11-10T19:21:00.000-07:00Speaking of rationalizing, have you been following...Speaking of rationalizing, have you been following Ms Palins press releases ... specifically blaming everyone and everything but herself for losing the election?COL55https://www.blogger.com/profile/07057765287988790129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-41048269210196519192008-11-10T16:40:00.000-07:002008-11-10T16:40:00.000-07:00Some synchronisity here in your blog Colleen.:"Doi...Some synchronisity here in your blog Colleen.:<BR/><BR/>"Doing God's will is a favorite form of rationalization for people who engage in irrational and not very nice things."<BR/><BR/>I recently commented to Thomas on NCR Cafe regarding his quoting from Leviticus that it was "God's Will" to kill people under certain circumstances. He's definitely in dangerous territory and tying it in with the abortion issue. Carl also posted to his quotes from Leviticus.<BR/><BR/>Good subject, this rationalizing the irrational. There is plenty of this going on.

Or else it will be spun that he didn't actually mean gays. He meant divorced or cohabitating heteros, or singles with cats or whatever.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise I'm at a loss to understand what this could mean, because it looks like the most positive statement ever spoken about gays and Catholicism.<BR/><BR/>Nah, can't be. This is the church that just actively conspired to take away gay constitutional rights.<BR/><BR/>I know!! It's a guilt inspired Freudian splip.colkochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03432916690101599393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-58279018932809539452008-11-10T12:21:00.000-07:002008-11-10T12:21:00.000-07:00Colleen, you missed one of the best ones from Maho...Colleen, you missed one of the best ones from Mahoney regarding :<BR/><BR/>In a postelection statement, Cardinal Roger M. Mahony of Los Angeles spoke about one of the biggest misunderstandings -- that the church's opposition to same-sex marriage indicates a rejection of homosexuals and lesbians as people.<BR/><BR/>The Catholic Church understands that there are people who choose to live together in relationships other than traditional marriage," he added. "All of their spiritual, pastoral and civil rights should be respected, together with their membership in the church."<BR/><BR/>Did he just say what it sounds like he just said?COL55https://www.blogger.com/profile/07057765287988790129noreply@blogger.com
