Black on White Crime/Racism

Where does true racism reside? From Pat Buchanan, writing for WND:

Interracial violence is overwhelmingly black-on-white 

Last Friday, Christopher Lane, a 22-year-old Australian here on a baseball scholarship, was shot and killed while jogging in Duncan, Okla., population 23,000. He died where he fell. 

Police have three suspects, two black and one white. The former said they were bored and decided to shoot Lane for “the fun of it.” 

As Lane was white and the shooter black, racism has surfaced as a motive. Thursday came reports that killing a white man may have been an initiation rite for the black teens in joining some offshoot of the Crips or Bloods.

Absolutely disgusting. These people are filthy barbarians. Where is President Obama shooting off his mouth about this racism? It just shows what a despicable person he is. When an incident involves a black 'victim' (who often is not really a victim), Obama will jump into the story to advance his race agenda. When a white person is the victim of black violence, he and his minions in the media are silent.

Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

For which reason, after we have poured forth prayers of supplication again and again to God, and have invoked the light of the Spirit of Truth, for the glory of Almighty God who has lavished his special affection upon the Virgin Mary, for the honor of her Son, the immortal King of the Ages and the Victor over sin and death, for the increase of the glory of that same august Mother, and for the joy and exultation of the entire Church; by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and by our own authority, we pronounce, declare, and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma: that the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory. ~Pope Pius XII, Munificentissimus Deus

Drag Queens Perform at "Diversity Day" on Military Base

From The Blaze:

Several drag queens reportedly took the stage at the Los Angeles Air Force Base on Thursday as part of the military base's 2013 "Diversity Day" celebration. 

According to Fox News' Todd Starnes, three individuals dressed in drag were featured in a musical performance that sparked outrage among some military personnel. 

"I am really surprised that this happened on a military installation," an unidentified airman reportedly told Starnes. "I get that people want to be able to have committed relationships with members of the same sex, but this crossed the line." 

Another said the performance was "totally offensive and inappropriate." 

Photos reportedly from the event appear to validate the claims, showing two individuals dressed in drag performing to a small crowd on the military base.

Just what the hell is "Diversity Day" anyway?

"Really surprised" by this?

Let's review:

- Obama is president.

- The "Dictatorship of Relativism" is in full swing.

- The gay lobby is emboldened as never before.

- The military, once a reliable bastion of true, masculine virtues, is undergoing a thorough process of emasculation and social engineering.

"Surprised" you say?

Communion in Plastic Cups: Where's the Outrage?

Catholic blogs are abuzz with these images from Rio, showing "Eucharistic Ministers" distributing Holy Communion from disposable plastic cups. PLASTIC CUPS! Truly stunning. Where is our faith? Our reverence? Our devotion? The incredible thing is that these well-intentioned people genuinely believed they were doing a great service in "getting involved." Who on earth was in charge of these kinds of decisions?

Sports Scandals and a Perverse Culture

 Brewers Star Ryan Braun is just one case among many

Can anyone answer the following headline?

Lying, cheating and murder charges: Why sports scandals have no real impact

I would venture to say that, living under the "dictatorship of relativism," lying, cheating and, with the example of abortion on demand, murder cease to faze many Americans. Of course, you're not going to find that charge in any mainstream media story. But is it disputable?

Our culture is so coarsened, so sick, that once-common moral ills no longer phase us. We have people like Bill Clinton to thank. Here's a man who perjured himself while president and is now viewed as a wise, elder statesman by much of the public.

With the case of Ryan Braun, it was not so much his abuse of performance enhancing drugs that I found so offensive, but the lies. Make a mistake, come clean, reform. But Braun bent over backwards to dramatize his situation, lacing a now-embarrassing press conference with one lie after another. In the immediate aftermath, the public is rightly outraged, but I doubt it will stick. Our culture is accustomed to lies simply because so many people think that lying is really not a big deal. Someone lies, we shrug our shoulders. If a president can do it and live to see another day in office, what's to stop anyone, anywhere from doing it? The only real sin is getting caught.

A Basilica, a Procession, and a Fish on a Pole

You've gotta see it to believe it. This occurred at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in DC. "Why do I support the Latin Mass," you ask? The irony is that those of us who attend the Latin Mass are often portrayed as extreme or a bit odd. All I can say is, we're not the ones stickin' a fish-kite on a stick.
