Entry: Reverend Ike, Margaret Sanger, or Ludendorff Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/reverend_ike_margaret_sanger_or_ludendorff#21668 Post contents: Mr Zmirak's take on the election is witty but cannot be taken seriously a guide to voting. According to Mr Zmirak's logic, at root of the problem is that Catholics who are directly involved in abortion are not excommunicated. But why stop at abortion? The church is opposed to the death penalty and to contraception, too. Thus, those involved in procuring the death sentence and the sale or use of contraceptives should also be excommunicated. The point is: where does the logic of excommunication end? Single-issue voting is a zero-sum game that benefits only extremists who do bother to vote. Alas, since I see little prospect of the majority of Americans acquiescing to being ruled by the House of Hapsburg in the near future, I suggest that Mr Zmirak and those who think like him hold their noses and vote strategically, based on what is rather on how one would like the world to be.
