Entry: The Silence of Father Neuhaus Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_silence_of_father_neuhaus#7847 Post contents: Adriana; Oh, don't get me wrong at all. I am not at all an Objectivist, and am a capitalist only in the "as opposed to communist" sense. A general belief that people ought to be able to trade wth each other more or less freely is far different than support for a culture of crazed materialism and unrestricted corporate rapine. I am also not a libertarian, though I make common cause with them on both the war and the sad current state of the US government. Kari; "Turn the other cheek" is not the same as "remain silent about moral horrors". More of the unborn have been massacred this year in the United States alone than have died - American and Iraqi - in all the 4 1/2 years of the Iraq War. Just on numbers alone, abortion is still the greater catastrophe. And yet yes, the greatness of one horror does not diminish another. And there is the real tragedy of the American Iraq War: That by and large it's the portion of America which considers itself the most religious, traditional, and conservative, which seeks to impose by force modernism upon a people who simply wish to live life in a religious, traditional, and conservative way. It is Evangelical grunts from Georgia and Tennessee who are doing the dirty work and taking the bullets for atheism, feminism, gay rights, pornography, and cultural Marxism of the Frankfurt school. No doubt Herbert Marcuse is laughing at us from Hell. Sent at: 2008 09 06
