Mark Shea, Pro-life and Religion as Politics
Mark Shea has taken his agree-with-me-on-these-issues-or-you-are-not-really-pro-life routine to the pages of the Jesuit rag America:
But weirdly, when the topic is not the unborn, many allegedly pro-life people often forget their wisdom. Result: on many issues ranging from war to torture to refugees to the death penalty, it is extremely common to run into people who are anti-abortion, but not pro-life.
And so self-identified pro-life people, in a solid majority, favored the launch of the Iraq War, despite the fact that it failed to meet a single criterion of Just War teaching, was sternly denounced by Pope John Paul II, warned of by the world's bishops, and dismissed as folly by then-Cardinal Ratzinger, who famously remarked that the "concept of a 'preventive war' does not appear in the Catechism of the Catholic Church" and who warned that it would result in catastrophe—as the destruction of the Chaldean Church, the deaths of at least 100,000 people and the transformation of Iraq into chaos eloquently attests.
Relatedly, self-identified pro-life Christians supported, in greater percentages than the general U.S. population, the use of torture against prisoners. Indeed, along with Evangelicals, self-identified pro-life Catholics may constitute the single most enthusiastic supporters of torture in American public life. This is despite the fact that the church describes torture as gravely and intrinsically immoral—exactly the same terms in which she describes abortion.
Similarly, the death penalty is sometimes treated as an issue in which the church's guidance to inflict the punishment only if absolutely necessary is rejected on the theory that God "commands" rather than reluctantly permits the death penalty. Some even go so far as to declare the church, not merely entitled to an opinion from which they dissent, but actually "wrong" and work to execute as many victims as possible.
Finally, there is the strange spectacle of some Catholics opposing pre-natal help for low income women (thus increasing the likelihood of abortion for poor families who fear they cannot afford another child) and the even stranger spectacle of self-identified pro-life people brandishing guns and screaming for desperately poor refugee children from Central America to be sent back to the extreme dangers of rape, sex slavery and murder.

All is Well!
If a Pope decreed that all Catholics must paint their bottoms yellow, I suspect Mark's only response would be to inquire what shade.

For those of you disturbed by the Relatio of the Synod, go here to read about it, Mark Shea explains at length why you are simply a misguided "Reactionary":
The latest in months of Reactionary panic (ongoing since March 2013 with the election of Francis) was on display last week in the fears about "gradualism" being discussed at the Synod. What's gradualism? Gradualism is the common sense fact that conversion usually takes a long time and sinners typically require baby steps to change. Calah Alexander, who is, like Yr. Obdt. Svt, a wretched sinner, has some rather appreciative words for gradualism. To which I say, "Hear! Hear!" I've never met a confessor who was not a gradualist and I doubt you have either. Indeed, most confessors I know tend to discourage gigantic vows of massive instantaneous conversion, particularly with entrenched sins. Why? Because when we fail to keep them, as we almost surely will, we can fly to the opposite end of the spectrum and despair. So the counsels tend to be "slow and steady wins the race".
Unfortunately, Reactionaries (who tend to lack people skills) tend also to understand "gradualism" to mean "Let's gradually change basic Church teaching until it conforms to the world, the flesh, and the devil." When they hear "gradualism" they don't hear "How can the Church welcome sinners and help them to become saints by baby step?" They hear "How can we slowly pervert the teaching of the Church until abortion and gay marriage are the eighth and ninth sacraments?" Continue reading
Mash Note
America, the Jesuit rag not the country, interviews Mark Shea. The money quote:
I love the man. It's almost inarticulate, but I have nothing but love for the guy. I think he's the absolute real deal and I feel tremendous hope for the church. As I said before, I've loved every pope we've had, but I particularly have a soft spot for this man just as a human being apart from whatever he does as pope. I think the world of him. There are some people you just recognize as genuine people and I always respond really strongly to them. There's no artifice about him and I really like that. Continue reading
Agree With Me, Or You Are Not Really Pro-life
Mark Shea is back to his old trick of saying that unless you agree with me on policy issue x which is not directly related to abortion, you are not really pro-life. It is an attempt to stop debate on policy issue x, at least among pro-lifers. Mike Gannon at Pocketful of Liberty takes the argument apart:
This past Tuesday over at Patheos, Mark Shea, noted gadfly of Catholics and other Christians who come down on the small government side of the aisle, authored a post that started out with the provocative assertion "If we oppose abortion and social safety nets, we don't really oppose abortion."
Balderdash, I say!
Now, that's a qualified balderdash, as I explain below. Mark Shea is a complicated thinker who is usually worth giving a second look (halfway through the piece he denounces the idolatry of the individual and the state in the same breath, demonstrating the difficulty one has at putting him neatly into this or that political box). Nonetheless, in this piece Shea falls victim to the temptation to cast aspersions on fellow pro-lifers who at the same time harbor serious concerns about the scope of our modern welfare state.
It's a cheap trick that is all too common in political discourse to attempt to strong-arm a fellow traveler into lockstep with one's own preferred platform by questioning their commitment to the cause if they disagree over tactics or emphases. Continue reading
Rebecca Frech Schools Mark Shea on Guns
Mark Shea has a habit of saying that unless people do x, x always being a policy he endorses, they really are not pro-life. This of course is simply an attempt, at least among pro-lifers, to stop debate on x and says nothing about the merits of x as a policy. His latest attempt to do so is on the issue of smart guns, technology that purports to prevent a firearm from being fired, unless the owner is the one pulling the trigger. Go here to read one of his posts on the subject. Blogger Rebecca Frech, at her blog Shoved to Them, relates an incident to describe why Shea is wrong as a practical matter:
The argument seems to center around smart gun technology. Shea reasons that if gun owners were truly pro-life then we would support all efforts to create guns which would only fire for their owners, and then the world would be a better place. People who don't support such legislation and research, even if they support the protection of life from conception to natural death, are not truly pro-life because they participate in a culture which accepts the possibility of death by gun shot (Mark and his readers haven't mentioned how they aim to prevent people from being bludgeoned with a rifle butt or pistol whipped with a handgun).
Touching Up The Ol' Hermeneutic: A Reply To Gabriel Sanchez
Gabriel Sanchez, a Catholic author I know and respect, has written a critique of my – as he calls it – selective "hermeneutic" of libertarian Catholicism at Ethika Politica. Specifically he is critiquing my critique of Mark Shea's indictment of libertarianism as heresy at Crisis magazine. It seems he at least agrees with my point that libertarianism is not heresy, but that may be where the agreement ends There are some broad points of his critique I want to address.
First there is Sanchez's claim that my argument regarding the limits Leo places on the state with respect to taxation and charity is "strange." The part of paragraph 22 that Sanchez says I "overlook" is irrelevant; in context, it is clear that Leo does not believe that the state has a duty to expropriate and confiscate wealth in the name of charity. I could have quoted more of that paragraph to support my point, such as "[n]o one is commanded to distribute to others that which is required for his own needs and those of his household; nor even to give away what is reasonably required to keep up becomingly his condition in life, "for no one ought to live other than becomingly."" After this, the part I did quote:
"But, when what necessity demands has been supplied, and one's standing fairly taken thought for, it becomes a duty to give to the indigent out of what remains over. "Of that which remaineth, give alms."(14) It is a duty, not of justice (save in extreme cases), but of Christian charity – a duty not enforced by human law."
Maybe we live in two different semantic universes, but in mine, when someone says "no one is commanded", "not of justice", "not enforced by human law", the meaning is clear: the state has no obligation to confiscate the private property of citizens and distribute it to whomever it deems worthy. Whether to give and how much to give is a matter for each individual to decide. I suppose it is arguable that the state could do these things with the consent of the people, but it is not required to do so and the libertarian argument against them would remain quite valid.
Shea & I: A Follow-Up
I have a new piece up at Crisis regarding libertarianism and heresy inspired by a post on Mark Shea's blog. Since I post there under my actual name, and since the reasons I had for writing under a pen name have largely vanished, I suppose my pen name is no longer needed here, though I will keep it because the Marquis de Bonchamps is still my hero. Anyway, I wanted to post some additional thoughts here for those interested, and since there are (as of 5/3, 11 am Pacific Time) 320 comments between my article and Shea's reply, there might be a few. So here they are:
1) I didn't choose the name of the piece – or the picture (above). Shea and I am sure others know that writers don't often get this privilege when they submit something for publication. It's not that I wholly object to the title and I like the painting, but I might have chosen something else. It wasn't my intention to provoke the man.
2) Speaking of which, I haven't followed Shea's writings enough to know whether or not he deserves the almost unprecedented levels of animosity directed at him through the com-boxes. I've found some of his writing to be agreeable in the past and I have nothing personal against him. It was his claim, not his character, I was seeking to critique. I don't approve of or condone the savaging of the man on a personal level.
3) Shea, through the com-boxes in his reply (though oddly not in the actual reply), thinks my argument is "silly" because if libertarianism is heretical, it can't possibly be worth anything (thus rendering my probing questions in the opening of the piece superfluous). And yet in his original post (the second link above), he makes a practical argument against libertarianism and I am still not sure if it is the reason why he thinks it is heretical or if it is just some unrelated tangent. If libertarianism is heresy – end of story, end of debate – why proceed to make a rather half-hearted point against it, in this case, that it is somehow "utopian"? Or is that the reason he thinks it is heretical? He didn't make that clear, hence the questions I pose in the piece. I also make clear that since I believe that a) libertarian arguments against confiscatory taxation are rooted in true and morally good principles and b) the Church does not reject what is true or good that c) it is very likely that at least what I call libertarianism is not "heretical." I thought that was rather obvious.
One last thing: another publication will be posting a reply to my piece on Tuesday. I won't give anymore details for now, but I expect a lively exchange to result.
Of Sarah Palin, Waterboarding and Baptism
Sarah Palin and the torture debate? Red Meat for bloggers for sure! Sarah Palin at the NRA convention said about captured terrorists and interrogation:
"Oh, but you can't offend them, can't make them feel uncomfortable, not even a smidgen. Well, if I were in charge, they would know that waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists."
The remark has received predictable criticism from the Left. Mark Shea, who is not a Leftist whatever else he is, chimes in with the usual quiet reason that has ever reflected his comments during the torture debate:
Well done also to Joe Carter for giving this vile filth no quarter. There is nothing left to discuss or negotiate. "Prolife" Christians who cheer for torture and, worse, cheer for sacrilegiously likening it to baptize have only one option: repent and seek forgiveness. Those who make excuses for it or refuse to repent ought to be as radioactive as Catholics for a Free Choice.
Here is a link to the Joe Carter post mentioned by Mark.
Father Z believes that the remark requires an apology.
Ed Peters who Father Z quotes is very condemnatory:
Open contempt for faith and things of religion is broadly associated with the left in America. I well recall pro-aborts smirking under a placard that claimed "If men could become pregnant abortion would be a sacrament." Now Palin has given sociology professors an incontestable example of contempt for religion on the American right.
May my readers join me in offering a short Pater in reparation for both.
In the face of all this, Sarah Palin is unrepentant:

The Great Shea-Voris Grudge Match
Mark Shea and Michael Voris recently met for some verbal sparring:
Before I start to describe all that I recall regarding the event, in the interest of transparency I have to say that I would place my own views in closer proximity to the Voris camp than to the Shea camp, although I do greatly respect and enjoy reading/watching both gentlemen's work.
Since Mr. Shea was arguing in the affirmative on the topic, he gave his opening arguments. The mic was then passed to Mr. Voris, and this is where things quickly became a bit heated. In his first turn or two at the microphone, Michael Voris focused less on the substance of the debate, but instead started referencing quotes that Mark Shea had written on his blog regarding ChurchMilitant.tv, Michael Voris, Michael Voris's followers, etc. Michael Voris clearly came to the debate with an ax to grind.
Now, I'll be the first to admit that what Shea has written on his blog regarding Voris was both juvenile and irresponsible (you can search Mark's blog for yourself), but I have to say that this tactic by Voris didn't reflect well on him. Where I was sitting, there was a chorus of groans erupting when it became clear that Michael Voris was starting in with the personal attacks rather than addressing the question posed. Thankfully, this was the most contentious portion of the debate, which only lasted around 45 minutes. Everything following that moment was a bit more civil, with the two even finding some common ground. Continue reading
Pharisees, Reactionaries and Mark Shea
I cannot possibly improve on what Pat Archbold wrote at Creative Minority Report:
God, I thank you that I am not like other people"
From the eminently huggable Mark Shea's "Bed-wetting Reactionary Wusses…"
What ties everything in Reactionary culture together better than any other theory I've been able to come up with is that it's not that Reactionaries think the Church is evangelizing wrong and want to do it better. It's that they hate the whole idea of bringing new people into the Church at all (except for a vanishingly small sample of like-minded Reactionaries) and seem to be bent on making sure as few are allowed in and as many are driven away as possible.
I agree with Mark. Wouldn't it be much better if all the Reactionary Wuss –holes in the Church who are not as open, loving, and tolerant as us would just get the the F out.
File this in the "irony is lost on them" department.
Mark Shea's Public Apology
Interesting public apology by Mark Shea:
The past week has not been a pleasant one, but it has been a fruitful one. I won't bore you with a lot of autobiography, but I will say that the Holy Spirit has been very busy, turning over some rocks in the heart that have nasty things living under them. And since some of them concern youse guys (who have been way more patient with me than I would be if I were reading me over the past several years) I think I owe some apologies.
You know how something can be right in front of your face and you can't see it? That's what it's been for me this week and really for a good number of years. I've sensed that something is wrong, but not been able to really get it or know what to do about it. Partly I spent a lot of time thinking about the reaction to this piece, in which it was very plain that the issue for readers was simply that I had offended and angered a lot of people for a long time. But in many ways, the reactions to that piece just seemed to recapitulate a lot of reactions over the years. It seemed obvious to me that the problem was me, not my readers (since I don't believe in conspiracy theories). My assumption is that when a random sample of people all report a very similar experience, that's because they are reacting to something that is there, not conspiring to create an illusion of something that is not.
So there was that. There is also the fact that, over the past several years, I have engaged in a number of arguments on a number of questions that have brought to the surface some pretty deep rooted habits of soul. I have remarked on them in the past and tried to repent of them (sincerely, I might add, but of course the problem with besetting sins is that they are besetting: think about that sin you've confessed a hundred times and seem to make no progress with. Frustrating, ain't it?)
Anyway, it all kind of came to a head this weekend on Sunday, starting at Mass. The hymn was, appropriately enough for Corpus Christi, "Taste and See". As I was praying it just got more and more apparent to me that the message I'm getting back from so many quarters is, if you will, "You taste bitter".
And I couldn't argue with that. I do taste bitter. And for that I am deeply, profoundly sorry, because it is through my fault, through my fault, through my own most grievous fault that I do. I've become bitter in much of my interaction with people. And bitterness is a root that "defiles many" according to Hebrews. In my case, I think I have defiled quite a number of hearts who came here looking for the gospel and instead just got Mark Shea getting increasingly cynical and angry about all sorts of stuff. You can't eat food, including food for the soul, that is bitter. My apologies to all to whom I have done this. Continue reading
Has Ryan "Softened" His Pro-Life Views?
Brace yourself for the latest meme to hit the politosphere: the word is now that Paul Ryan has "softened" his views on abortion. Ryan has long opposed abortion in all cases save in a few cases where he believes it may be necessary to save the life of the mother. This means that he has opposed abortion in the case of rape. But in this post-Akin political environment, so the narrative goes, Ryan, in the interests of being a team player, is renouncing his opposition to rape exceptions.
What set this off? First there was the statement made by various Romney campaign spokespeople in the aftermath of Akin's blunder:
"Gov. Romney and Congressman Ryan disagree with Mr. Akin's statement, and a Romney-Ryan administration would not oppose abortion in instances of rape"
Then there were Ryan's responses to some reporters who were pressing him on the abortion/rape issue, and focusing particularly on some legislation he previously supported which made distinctions between different types of rape. Ryan said to the reporters:
"I'm proud of my record. Mitt Romney is going to be president and the president sets policy. His policy is exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother. I'm comfortable with it because it's a good step in the right direction."
One the basis of one or both of these statements, major news outlets and some in the Catholic blogosphere are claiming that Ryan has "softened" his views on abortion. Or, to put it in Mark Shea's words, Ryan has "partly renounce[d]" his position. In response to a comment I made on Mark's blog, he elaborated further:
I just don't see how anybody can regard movement from "It is always gravely evil to deliberately kill innocent human life" to "I am opposed to the murder of innocent, unborn children except in cases my boss tells me not to be opposed," or, "unless I feel it jeopardizes my chances of becoming VP" and maintain that Ryan is not compromising.
It is quite obvious to me that Paul Ryan has not said or done a thing to warrant the attribution of such cynical and selfish motives to him – though I do believe he, like most pro-life politicians and even people such as myself, is willing to compromise on a few points to make significant gains, a point I will elaborate on below. In any case, Mr. Shea goes too far. Because I often find his commentary to be fair-minded (even when I disagree), I am surprised at this rather unjustifiable attack on Ryan's character but also willing to grant the benefit of the doubt. So I will offer my take on these comments and Mark can reply if he feels it's worth his time.
In Which I Agree with Mark Shea
Agreeing with something Mark wrote in criticizing Michael Voris? This might just be my last post at The American Catholic.
All kidding aside, I second Mark's concerns regarding Vorris's association with E. Michael Jones. As Shea details:
Let us be clear about what is happening here. Marc Brammer and Michael Voris, Folk Hero to the Utterly Undiscerning, will be working hard to mainstream somebody
- whose all-explaining theory of everything blames Jews for every problem that Christendom has had over the past 2000 years;
- whose rhetoric has been condemned by both the Abp of Prague for his outreach to "political extremists, Lefebvrites, nationalists, anti-Semites, Islamists and neo-Nazis." and by the Catholic League for "outrageously blam[ing] the Jews themselves for the Holocaust and pogroms." ;
- who has appeared on an Iranian TV show that endorses the Protocols of the Elders of Zion as authentic and charges Jews with harvesting Gentile organs;
- who is BFF with Holocaust Denier's like Willis Carto and moving in virulently anti-Semitic circles;
- who treats as a respected thinker Robert Sungenis (Sungenis, who is published multiple times by Jones' Culture Wars, gives Jones' an enthusiastic thumbs up, and is himself hot on the trail of the Jew conspirators with such hard hitting stories asJim Stone shows Israel Behind Fukashima Disaster
The European Jewish Union Exonerating Everything Jewish
Jewish Child Molesters
Mossad Involvement in 9/11
Jewry's push for War with Iran
Jewish Atzmon Says Merah Was a Mossad False Flag Agent
and, last but not least, E. Michael Jones: Who is the World's Real Enemy?(Guess who?)(For a full catalog of Sungenis' vast corpus of crazy statements about the Jews, go here.)
I'll be the first to admit that sometimes Mark can exaggerate (I'm being charitable here) others' viewpoints, but I don't believe he is doing so here. Jones has a fairly extensive record of what can only be described by any reasonable person as anti-Semitism, and yet Voris is happy to give the man a platform.
I'm sure there will be those that object that Voris himself does not hold these views, and that this is a game of guilt by association. I would counter that providing an open platform to such a person as Jones is beyond reprehensible. People should be able to engage in honest discussion with others who hold differing viewpoints, but this goes well beyond that. There are certain lines that when crossed should disqualify individuals from ever being taken seriously again. When you willingly not only associate yourself with such individuals, but actually provide a forum which grants a certain amount of legitimacy, then you should also be taken to task
And of course leave it to the very first commenter on Mark's post to play the "but what is anti-Semitism?" game. It's an insipid attempt to change the discussion and avoid having to address the issue at hand.
I haven't gotten involved with previous discussions about Voris because I haven't really seen that much of his work. And I think it's fairly well-known that I have had my share of disagreements with Mark, to say the least. So I have no personal axe to grind with Voris. But he should be held to account for his decision to associate with Jones.
The Great Shea-Hippolito Grudge Match
Saint Blogs can be an entertaining place, and one of the more amusing grudge matches for the past decade has been the ongoing feud between Joseph D'Hippolito and Mark Shea. This fight has been waged on every Catholic blog imaginable. Go here for a google search of a few of their combats. Neither of the verbal gladiators is a stranger to bombastic language, over the top characterizations and the unending construction of straw men. On the other hand, both are pretty good writers and have some talent at argument when they deign to do so rather than to simply vent.
Joe started the latest conflict with a post at Front Page magazine in which he mildly compares Shea and his comments on Iran to the mad poet and traitor Ezra Pound who broadcast pro-Fascist propaganda from Mussolini's Italy during World War II. Go here to read it. Mark responds here by patiently calling Joe a cold-blooded advocate for mass murder. Continue reading
Shea, Voris and Amazing Grace
An interesting spat has developed between Catholic blogger Mark Shea of Catholic and Enjoying It and Michael Voris of RealCatholic TV. In the above video Mr. Voris attacks the use of the Protestant hymn Amazing Grace at Mass. Amazing Grace was composed by John Newton, an eighteenth century captain of a slaver, who converted to Christianity, was ordained in the Anglican Church and became an abolitionist. The song is used frequently at Mass in my parish.
Mark Shea, who has never had any use for Mr. Voris as far as I can tell, attacked the video in a post at his blog:
Voris' sole message is "I am the measure of Real Catholicism and those who agree with me have the right to call themselves Catholic, while those who disagree are liars and lukewarm fake Catholics".
Anderson on Shea on Carter
My good friend Jay Anderson at Pro Ecclesia often delivers some of the most insightful commentary on Saint Blog's. Here is commentary that he did today fisking Mark Shea's observations of Joe Carter' post at First Things, where Carter took a look at Generation X conservatives, and which may be read here. This gave Mark an opportunity to voice his disdain for forms of conservatism other than the paleocon version he embraces, and to go "O Tempora, O Mores", over the coming generation of conservatives. Jay's commentary is priceless:
Mark Shea has commented on an excellent piece by Joe Carter at First Things, in which Joe seeks to define "Generation X" conservatives, who he labels "X-Cons".
Mark begins:
He has been one of the few voices in the conservative movement to speak out of actual conservative values and not out of the Consequentialism that dominates the Thing that Used to Be Conservatism. So I was interested in his description of "X-Cons", the rising generation of conservatives (so-called) who have been coming of age in the past decade. I think his description is accurate, rather depressing, and a further proof that Chesterton is right when he says that each revolutionary movement is a reaction to the last revolution–and that it typically knows what is wrong but not what is right. I appreciate Carter's clear-eyed analysis and suspect that he, like me, is not altogether thrilled that this is the desperate pass in which the Thing that Used to be Conservatism now finds itself.
Later on, Mark continues:
X-Cons know little about history and their deepest influence is disk jockeys, who "taught us X-Cons to appreciate confirmation of our political views." The perfectly reasonable thing to ask in light of this crushing diagnosis is, "What, precisely, is being conserved by such a 'conservatism'?" A conservatism that knows nothing of engagement with ideas outside the Talk Radio Noise Machine (including engagement with ideas from its own intellectual history) and which has learned, as it's primary lesson, "to appreciate confirmation of our political views" is a conservatism that is intellectually barren and open to manipulation by demagogues who flatter its adherents and teach them to remain safe in the echo chamber.
Mark goes further in his assessment of "X-Cons" as the dupes of demagogues:
When Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck are your intelligentsia and Buckley is a sort of a ghostly eminence gris you no longer bother listening to, one must again ask what, exactly, is being conserved by such a conservatism. Much that bills itself as anti-elitist is just a celebration of intellectual laziness and a resentment of people who have done the hard work of thought. Yes, there are pointy headed intellectuals who pride themselves on their learning. That's not an excuse to be a wahoo who prides himself on his ignorance.
Mark concludes his analysis of Joe's piece lamenting Joe's acknowledgement of the fact that "X-Cons" will soon displace the generation that came before us. Joe writes:
• X-Cons will soon be replacing the Boomers as the dominant cohort within the movement. We'll be fielding presidential candidates in 2016 and dominating elections in 2020. We are, for better and for worse, the future of the movement. And of America.
… and Mark responds:
Bleak words indeed…
My Comments:
First, let me note that I tried to leave my thoughts in comments on Mark's blog, but the commenting tool Mark uses rejected the comment as too voluminous. Rather than breaking it up into several comments, I decided to blog my view on the matter here.
While I commend Joe on his piece at First Things, I call B.S. on at least parts of Mark's analysis of Joe's piece, and ESPECIALLY on some of the commenters who have responded favorably to Mark's analysis by blaming the so-called "X-Cons" for the commenters' decisions to continue to support the party of abortion-on-demand.
The "X-Cons" aren't responsible for "the Thing that Used to Be Conservatism" (hereafter, "the Thing") – in fact, we are increasingly skeptical of "the Thing" and especially the Republican Party claiming the mantle of "the Thing". As evidence, I submit my own blog as well as a piece today at National Catholic Register by Pat Archbold (recently described by one of Mark's sycophants as a "Republican shill").
No, the folks responsible for bringing us huge deficits, Wilsonian foreign policy, and consequentialism dressed up as "the Thing" were decidedly NOT members of the "X" generation, but were baby boomers and even members of the so-called "Greatest Generation". Given that fact, Mark's assessment as "bleak words indeed" of Joe's acknowledgement of the rise of the "X-Cons" to replace the previous generation seems completely without merit. Surely we can't do any worse with respect to "the Thing" than the generations that have come before us. In short, given our increasing distrust of what "the Thing" has become and the party that champions it, it is the "X-Cons" who are the antidote to "the Thing", not the purveyors of it.
In addition, rather than criticizing the "X-Cons" for rejecting elitism and embracing what they see as middle-class authenticism, why not ask whether the elites have actually served them well and, if the answer is "HELL NO!" (which it most assuredly is), whether there are better alternatives for leadership from among the "riff-raff" who actually share the values of the "X-Cons"? Mark asks what is it that is actually being conserved? Well, if you ask me, the traditional family values of protection of life, protection of the institution of the family, hard work, integrity, loyalty, etc., etc., are being protected far more on the front porches, parish halls, and town halls of flyover country than they are in the halls of academia and, yes, even on the pages of National Review. Maybe "X-Cons" see the people Mark derides as base and demogogic as being the actual preservers of the values we hold dear (i.e. they're the ones doing the "conserving" these days), as opposed to the new generation of Buckleys who view us as so much white trash and instead embrace The One.
Mark Shea Gone Wild!
It's been a looong week for Mark!
This is how he looked before his trip to Mount Athos:

Review: Marvel: Contest Of Champions
For some time now, Injustice: Gods Among Us has reigned as the chief collaborative superhero game for app players. Using a range of DC Comics heroes and villains in a card collecting/brawler system, the game makes for a great experience for those who simply enjoy seeing all of their comic heroes in one place. There are certain ordinary pitfalls, such as somewhat-clunky fighting mechanics and repetitive gameplay, but the number of characters, achievements, and upgrades all keep things interesting for quite some time.

I have several conditions and the result for those should be the same. I searched the net and found stuff like this:
CASE ProductLine
WHEN 'R' THEN 'Road'
WHEN 'M' THEN 'Mountain'
WHEN 'T' THEN 'Touring'
WHEN 'S' THEN 'Other sale items'
ELSE 'Not for sale'
That's nice, but not what I need, for me its more like R,M,T and S all have the same result and A,B,C,D for example don't have. How would I do this? I cant connect with OR, or at least I did not manage to :). Something like this maybe?

Todd and Penguin by TylerMartinWatch
©2006-2016 TylerMartin
David Wright invited me to do a guest comic for his guest month this month at Todd and Penguin. This was my contribution. It seemed the ideal comic for me to do a guest strip for, being it has a penguin and all.
nicely done indeed! the contrast of bright trippy happy colors in that last panel just makes it that much funnier. you rock!
*grin* nicely put, tyler man. i'm loving how you're throwing texture into this... gives it a whole new, deeper feel. nicely done!
Haha, love the comic, that last panel had me laughing my butt off! Very cool, never seen the comic before, but this is definitely a funny strip!
penguins seem to be all the rage right now.

Are you at the point where you just can't wait for your first semester at Biola to begin? Do you wish you could use your summer more strategically and get a head start on college?
As an incoming student, you can take one or two Bible courses this summer before your first semester at Biola. These courses will cost 70% less than during the semester, giving you a head start on your Bible minor, and you will be introduced to the people you are going to be with for the rest of your college years. It's the smart way to start at Biola.
Are you transferring to Biola but worried about how much time it will take you to finish the rest of your degree?
The Bible Bridge program is specifically designed to help incoming transfer students get a head start on the Bible minor as well as build lasting relationships with other transfer students. You will have the opportunity to complete up to 6 credits (2 classes) of the required 30-credit Bible minor in just 7 weeks of coursework at a discounted price before the fall semester even begins!
"Bible Bridge made the transition to Biola so much easier. Although there was a lot of work at times, I was able to get a better feel for the school as well as develop relationships with the other students and the professors - all while getting credit for Bible classes!"

Welcome to Philadelphia. Traffic around City Hall is gridlocked. A motorcycle clips your side mirror and roars away. Garbage trucks are running lights. What else is new?
Um, the swarms of limb-chomping zombies are kind of a fresh twist, aren't they?
Yes, World War Z - a relentless horror thriller that serves up a chilling vision of a planet in the throes of apocalypse - begins in the City of Brotherly Love. (Although, for the record, and for the tax breaks, the Philly stuff was shot in Glasgow.) There's a heartwarming moment first: Brad Pitt busy flipping pancakes for his wife and kids, the news from the TV full of cheer - beached dolphins, out-of-control CO2 emissions, martial law.
By the time the family flees town, Philly is in flames, and there are roadblocks on the Ben Franklin Bridge. Can't let the zombies get to the Cherry Hill Mall.

First published in The Moscow Times
Using uncharacteristically stern language, President Dmitry Medvedev told Federal Tax Service chief Mikhail Mokretsov last week that he would tolerate no delays in moving all gambling to special regional zones within two months.
"It is imperative that these rules go into effect in due time. There will be no revisions, no pushing back ? despite the lobbying efforts of various businesses," Medvedev said at their meeting at his Gorki residence outside Moscow.
"This is the state's position," he added. "You have to control this process, and the activities of gambling establishments must cease on June 30."
New rules approved in late 2006 require all gambling centres to move to one of four zones established for the industry by July 1 of this year. Casinos must be closed, and betting will be banned outside the zones, which are located in areas on the Azov Sea, in the Far East, and in the Altai and Kaliningrad regions. The legislation was introduced to the State Duma by then-President Vladimir Putin.
The rules have come under fire from casinos and investors in the gambling zones, who have said that the zones don't have the infrastructure to build new casinos in time for the summer deadline.
Casino owners have said they will be forced to transform their properties into less profitable restaurants, concert halls and even poker clubs to stay open in Moscow, their main market. There are currently 549 gambling establishments in the capital, deputy mayor Sergei Baidakov said last month.
The deadline for moving the clubs and casinos out of cities was changed once before the rules were signed into law, from the original date of January 2009. Last year, United Russia Deputy Alexander Popov offered to push the deadline to 2012 but later retracted his proposal without explanation.
Medvedev's position on the issue could indicate a standoff between his word and the powerful gambling lobby, analysts said.
"The business is very influential and has a strong lobby, including in the Duma," said Dmitry Oreshkin, an analyst with the Mercator think tank.
He said it was no secret that the gambling industry pays large taxes and kickbacks, so many bureaucrats are interested in leaving gambling in Moscow. "If the lobby wins in delaying the deadline, it will essentially mean that the state's word means nothing, so it's important for Medvedev, who is trying to show he is a serious politician," he said.
Medvedev pressed Mokretsov over his readiness to deal with gambling businesses. "How ready is the Federal Tax Service to control gambling after the new rules go into effect?" he asked, Interfax reported.
Mokretsov reassured the president that the tax agency, which has been given increasingly more control over the gambling industry in the past two years, was ready to "administer the business in the four gambling zones". He noted that the industry has shrunk by 42pc in the first four months of 2009.

1909-S $10 MS65 PCGS....Click the image to load the highest resolution version.
Exceptional Gem 1909-S Eagle1909-S $10 MS65 PCGS. In 1909, the San Francisco Mint struck 292,350 Indian ten dollar gold pieces, but it remains a tricky issue for the specialist assembling a Gem set of ten Indians. Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth note, "The 1909-S is far more difficult to obtain than expected, particularly so in gem grades. This is made more poignant by the fact that a large number of Mint State examples were discovered in an otherwise random hoard around 1977." In The Coinage of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the authors reveal that, prior to the discovery of this hoard of about 60 pieces, "this issue was virtually impossible to obtain in Uncirculated condition."
Despite the uncovering of a few other small hoards that substantially raised the Mint State population, "the '09-S is still very scarce in Mint State, with most pieces in MS62 to MS64 grades. It remains one of the most difficult issues in the entire series to locate in Gem condition." This is certainly one of the finest of this difficult issue, as PCGS has graded only 19 in MS65 condition and eight finer. Akers (1988) has declared that the 1909-S in generally comes in one of two categories: " ... either very frosty with very little granularity, or slightly satiny." This piece is frosted and it displays a subtle interplay of rose-gold and lilac color on each side. The surfaces are exceptionally clean and this is one of the finest '09-S tens we have seen in recent memory. (Registry values: N4719) (NGC ID# 28GP, PCGS# 8864)

Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Two pools and fitness center. Five miles to Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. Free enhanced continental breakfast available. Hotel is 100-precent non-smoking. City Energy Fee: 3.00 USD per night.
The Inn was located not far from the hospital where our family was gathered for a medical crisis.
Everything. This is the worst Comfort Inn I have ever stayed in in 40 years of travel. The couple standing next to us were obviously only there for a limited "engagement." The outside reminded me of movie scenes where drug deals go down. Off-street parking was very limited. We cancelled our second night's reservation and stayed elsewhere.
I wish the room had a refrigerator and microwave.
We enjoyed all of great time close to strip for bars clubs restaurant's shops all we needed at this time, breakfast good start to the day. plenty of people to talk to, Staff very friendly and helpful no complaints.
The Staff was friendly, the location was good, I honestly believe they thought the room was clean when they assigned it to me, & the breakfast was great.
when i got to my room it was trashed! the lock was broken, there were cigarettes put out on the carpet and the furnature, there was half eaten food scattered around, and I didn't even want to make an attempt to look at the bathroom! suffice to say, thr room was put out of order, until they could make the repairs. they did find me a room, which was a downgrade, that I didn't get a discount on. need to talk to Kayak on that one.
This location is very convenient to the shops and restaurants in Palm Springs. The room was clean.
The hotel is next to a club that played music so loud that the songs were recognizable. This lasted until after 4am. The main doors to the front office were broken and unusable the day we arrived; in the three days we were there they failed to fix them. Also, the elevator inspection expired in 2013, over a year expired. The owners of this hotel clearly do not care about keeping their facility in working order and in compliance.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) slipped 38 points
yesterday, as traders found very little excitement in the day's
economic and earnings reports. That lack of excitement should
change later this morning, as the ADP employment report is slated
to hit the Street, offering up a preview of Friday's non-farm
payrolls and unemployment rate. Ahead of the report, U.S. stock
futures are treading water just below breakeven, with the DJIA and
S&P 500 Index (SPX) hovering about 7 points and 1.2 points
below fair value, respectively. The Dow held above support in the
10,600 region yesterday, despite a solid dose of malaise on the
session. Look for this region to hold up again today, with the
10,450 level providing a backstop if the ADP report is worse than
expected. Meanwhile, the SPX should find support in the 1,115
region, which is home to its 200-day moving average, with the 1,100
level providing a floor during a steeper sell-off.
In equity news, Time Warner Inc. (
) posted second-quarter net income of $562 million, or 49 cents per
share, as net revenue rose 8% to $6.4 billion. Wall Street analysts
were expecting earnings of 45 cents per share and revenue of $6.2
billion. Looking ahead, TWX said it expects an adjusted 2010
earnings growth rate of at least 20% compared to 2009 earnings of
$1.83 per share.
Elsewhere, Garmin Ltd. (
) reported second-quarter earnings of $134.8 million, or 67 cents
per share. On an adjusted basis, the company earned 85 cents per
share, blowing past the consensus estimate for 73 cents per share.
Total revenue rose 9% to $729 million, versus Wall Street's view
for sales of $677.3 million. For the full year, Garmin forecast pro
forma earnings in the range of $2.75 to $3.15 per share,
surrounding the current consensus target of $2.90 per share.
Finally, Sirius XM Radio (
) said that it swung to second-quarter net income of $15.3 million,
or breakeven per share, from a loss of $159.6 million, or 4 cents
per share, last year. Adjusted revenue rose 16% to $705.6 million.
The company ended the quarter with 19.5 million subscribers, an
increase of more than 1.1 million from the year prior. Analysts
were expecting breakeven results on revenue of $690 million.

Economic Calendar
The market will be graced with the weekly report on U.S.
petroleum supplies later this morning, along with the Institute of
Supply Management (
) services index. But, the Street will likely pay the most
attention to the ADP report on private sector employment, the first
of three days worth of employment data. The weekly report on
initial jobless claims will be released on Thursday. On Friday, the
Labor Department will release the month's highly anticipated
non-farm payrolls and unemployment reports.
Market Statistics
Equity option activity on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (
) saw 1,057,768 call contracts traded on Tuesday, compared to
629,432 put contracts. The resultant single-session put/call ratio
arrived at 0.60, while the 21-day moving average slipped to

Overseas Trading
Overseas trading is a little worse for wear this morning, as
only three of the 10 foreign indexes that we track are in positive
territory. The cumulative average return on the collective stands
at a loss of 0.41%. In Asia, Japanese markets were pummeled as a
strengthening yen negatively impacted exporters. In fact, the U.S.
dollar fell to an eight-month low versus the Japanese currency.
Meanwhile, China's service-sector growth accelerated in July,
marking the fastest rate of growth in three months and helping to
lift Shanghai and Hang Seng stock out of the red. Meanwhile, euro
zone retail sales were flat in June, according to Eurostat, while
Markit reported that the region's purchasing mangers' index
expanded at its fastest pace in three months. The mixed data has
offered little help, as regional indexes across the euro zone are
trading broadly lower.
Currencies and Commodities
For the first time this week, the U.S. Dollar Index is not
trading in negative territory heading into the open on Wall Street.
In fact, it would seem that the index has found a spot of
short-term support in the 80.50 region, gaining about 0.01% at last
check. Elsewhere, after putting in a strong performance yesterday,
crude futures are pulling back this morning, as traders prepare for
the latest report on U.S. petroleum supplies. In electronic
trading, the front-month crude contract is down 54 cents at $82.01
per barrel. Finally, the front-month gold contract is once again
flirting with the psychologically important $1,200 level. In London
trading, the malleable metal has added $10.60 to trade at $1,198.10
an ounce.

Newly restored in 2008 combining the luxury of a modern home with a stone built traditional tuscan home.
Podere Ampella gives you the chance to live the relaxed Tuscan lifestyle in the idyllic setting of this exceptional hilltop hamlet overlooking the wonderful Val d'Orcia landscape, a landscape so unique that UNESCO has listed it as a world heritage site. This is the perfect location to relax and unwind, where you can choose to do as much or as little as you wish.
This newly built hamlet has a collection of eleven privately owned villas and apartments finished to a very high standard. The hamlet has been designed in the traditional Tuscan style using local materials and the typical architectural style.
All the properties are fully furnished and well equipped; each has its own private terrace or garden and two of the villas have their own private pool. The shared pool has a paved surround furnished with loungers and parasols and is set in a stunning position overlooking the surrounding countryside.
Podere Ampella hamlet is positioned between the historic towns of San Giovanni d'Asso and Montisi where there are plenty of restaurants, shops and banks. The hamlet is ideally situated for exploring Tuscany with the cities of Florence, Siena, Arezzo, Pisa and Lucca within easy reach, or venture over the border into Umbria to visit the historic cities of Assisi, Orvieto and Perugia.
San Giovanni D'Asso is a delightful hilltop town only 3kms from Ampella Hamlet. Dating back to medieval times the village surrounds the walls of a twelfth century castle. Here you will find traditional Tuscan restaurants and shops selling the local produce. The town boasts the only truffle museum in Italy, as well as hosting an annual truffle festival in November each year. There are also two important churches; the Romanesque church, San Giovanni Battista, and San Pietro in Villare. The picturesque Tuscan town of Montisi is 4kms from Ampella Hamlet. In August each year there is the annual jousting competition "Giostra di Simone" which sees many of the townsfolk dress up in medieval costume.
The Tuscany region
Full of vineyards and olive groves with fields of sunflowers, this area is truly the heart of Tuscany. The landscapes and the artistic legacy have made Tuscany world famous.
The summers in Tuscany are very hot and sunny, however the temperature starts to decrease from mid August until October, which is a really nice month to visit Tuscany as the cities are not as packed with tourists and the heat is not as intense. Winters can be cold and wet but the spring always seems to come quickly!
Val d'Orcia
Siena is one of the most fascinating town of Tuscany and is in a beautiful position with a lovely environment. Siena has a medieval character and has kept its design without being spoiled by new buildings. There are numerous churches to visit, including the Cathedral and Palazzo Pubblico.
The compelling landscapes of the Val d'Orcia make it a great destination. Walkers and cyclists will be in heaven as the area is ideal for long promenades in its rolling green hills.
Montisi has a festival in august only 3 km away.

For all the yelling and complaining about drug use at these professional races and how it's ruining the world, they're still just races.
Leonardo Piepoli's wife gave birth to their son but now has internal bleeding and her life is in danger. Piepoli immeadiately left the race to go be with her saying is was, "what a husband and father must do." I hope she pulls through this.
