Whispers in the Loggia: Kikopalooza: For the Neocats, a Papal Party (via Rorate Caeli)
Are there any bishops who are afraid to take action against a group because they fear offending the Holy Spirit? But if someone in authority truly believes that his action is just, after doing a sufficient investigation and has prayed for the gifts of the Holy Spirit, should he not take action, confident that he has done his duty and that no one, not even a bishop, can frustrate the Holy Spirit? I wonder what the vote in Japan's bishops conference was regarding the Neocatechumenal Way. Did the Pope annul their decision because there were nay votes? If the vote had been unanimous, would the Pope have overriden their vote?

What is a greater threat to a community's well-being, a sizable number of families with single mothers or one with a sizable number of non-assimilated immigrants? Perhaps the former, as it is not only a cause of social problems but an effect of other problems. (Liberals are accustomed to seeing neither as a problem.)

Oxytocin fosters ethnic bonding as well?
Bede, in Are we hardwired to be ethnocentric?, comments on the NYT article on the research behind this paper: "Oxytocin promotes human ethnocentrism.”
Natural affection can be supplemented by something more abstract, but engineering a political community in which natural effection is completely replaced by an abstract, natural benevolence may be impossible.

That is, a document condemning mistaken interpretations of Vatican Council II. It's been requested by a bishop of Kazakhstan, at a conference in Rome with other bishops and cardinals. Also prompting reactions is the announcement by Benedict XVI of a new interreligious meeting in Assisi

Who's hating whom?
A reader at VFR echoes my thoughts on an emerging tribalism and takes it even further: Predlude to civil war?
Meanwhile, Lawrence Auster looks at the ethnic politics of Paul Krugman and attributes to liberals a hatred of conservatives:
In 2008, Krugman showed that liberals hate conservatives
Another bad cop
Henninger: liberals think conservatives are evil and mad
Comments on Liberal Hategate
Hume on liberals’ view of conservatives
Humans whose souls have been replaced by politics
I don't like Mark Levin, but Jeb Bush deserves to be criticized:
The Mark Levin Show: Why Jeb Bush Should Never Be President
Jeb Bush, along with some other "leading" Republians, believes the party should do what it is necessary to get the Hispanic vote. (Laura Ingraham also criticizes Jeb Bush and Republican immigration policy.)
This just supports the claim that the leadership (and most of the mainstream "conservatives" who want to be the leaders of the party) don't really care about white America or its interests--the preservation of Anglo-American culture and the moral character of the Anglo-American people. Isn't that what they should seek to conserve? I note that Levin and Ingraham offer no solution either, as while they might balk at balkanization, they can only endorse the proposition nation as a part of their outreach to "everyone." They claim the Constitution as their own, but they pay no attention to the Anglo-American customs and mores that are as important.

New Bill Would Ban Open Carry In California
It's very difficult to get a CCW license in California, and now they want to ban open carry? How is one supposed to defend one's self with a gun if one is not carrying it at all? Apparently the California Police Chiefs Association supports the bill--how many of the members support it? Those who do support it should lose their jobs.

Out with one Laura, in with another
On the local radio station, at least -- Dr. Laura has been replaced by Laura Ingraham. Nothing outstanding on "conservative" radio here in the Bay Area, unless someone decides to put on an unusual guest, like Gerald Celente.
Dr. Laura hasn't ended her show -- she's just moved it to Sirius XM.

Odd, the same person has appeared in my dreams 3 or 4 times this week. That's a bit obsessive.
Edit. 4:15 PM Weird. That person called me this afternoon. This happened once before, last year. I had a dream about this person, and then she called me an hour or so later to see if I could sub for her.
It's funny, both times she didn't say my name, but introduced herself by her first name... and I ended up calling her Miss. ----- both times. Habits die hard. I wonder what her reaction was. I don't think I'd call her by her first name ever.
