Paul Likoudis, Vindicated

June 30, 2018 Frontpage Comments Off on Paul Likoudis, Vindicated

By CHRISTOPHER MANION For years, Paul Likoudis, our late and beloved colleague at The Wanderer, chronicled the role of homosexuality in the crimes committed by clerics. Long before The Boston Globe published its “exposé” in early 2002, Paul reported on one instance after another of abuse and cover-up in chanceries nationwide. For his yeoman efforts, he was ridiculed, hectored, threatened, bullied, and, above all, studiously ignored whenever possible by one guilty bishop after another. When The Globe’s series appeared in January 2002, the bishops could no longer persist in their obstinate denial. But they immediately insisted that they had the problem under control. “It’s over,” Auxiliary Bishop (now Vatican Cardinal) Kevin Farrell told the Knights of Malta in February 2002.…Continue Reading

A Fascist Right — Or A Hysterical Left?

June 29, 2018 Frontpage Comments Off on A Fascist Right — Or A Hysterical Left?

By PATRICK J. BUCHANAN If Trump’s supporters are truly “a basket of deplorables . . . racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic” and “irredeemable,” as Hillary Clinton described them to an LGBT crowd, is not shunning and shaming the proper way to deal with them? So a growing slice of the American left has come to believe. Friday, gay waiters at the Red Hen in Lexington, Va., appalled that White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was being served, had the chef call the owner. All decided to ask Sanders’ party to leave. When news reached the left coast, Cong. Maxine Waters was ecstatic, yelling to a crowd, “God is on our side!” Maxine’s raving went on: “And so, let’s stay…Continue Reading

If Violence Is The End of Politics, Our End Arrived With Roe

June 28, 2018 Frontpage Comments Off on If Violence Is The End of Politics, Our End Arrived With Roe

By SHAUN KENNEY Over dinner this week, the conversation drifts towards when politics in this country took a wrong turn. One can point back to any series of moments. September 11, 2001 and the war against terrorism, where neoconservative sentiment found a new home for empire despite the warnings of men such as Patrick J. Buchanan. Or perhaps it was the date of the invasion of Iraq in 2003? Or the failed occupation effort? Or the election of Barack Obama? Of course, liberals in this country would love to point to counter examples. Bush 41’s “Willie Horton Ad” as the advent of identity politics, the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980, or the so-called Southern Strategy implemented by President Nixon…Continue Reading

Longtime Southern Arizonan . . . Provides Facts On Border Problems That Newcomers May Misunderstand

June 27, 2018 Frontpage Comments Off on Longtime Southern Arizonan . . . Provides Facts On Border Problems That Newcomers May Misunderstand

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — “Brothers and sisters, let the friendship begin,” the latest bishop of the Diocese of Tucson said welcomingly at his installation Mass last November, according to a report by Catholic News Service. Bishop Edward Weisenburger previously served as bishop of Salina, Kans., then succeeded veteran Tucson Bishop Gerald Kicanas following Kicanas’ retirement from the southern Arizona diocese that extends along the international line with Mexico. Weisenburger’s proffered friendship appeared to have grown brittle by June, however, when he suggested canonical penalties against practicing Catholics who provide border protection for the United States and have to try to deal sensitively with minors being brought along in the continued massive invasion of illegal immigrants. Hysterical coverage in anti-Donald…Continue Reading

Separation Of Families . . . Doesn’t Happen Only Through Immigration Policies

June 26, 2018 Frontpage Comments Off on Separation Of Families . . . Doesn’t Happen Only Through Immigration Policies

By REY FLORES I was reflecting on immigration and family issues just before President Donald Trump on June 20 issued his executive order. The fake news media continue to push their anti-Trump narrative, and the separation of illegal immigrant families has been the left-wing’s latest political soup du jour. Images and videos of crying mothers and their little children were broadcast and published through all forms of communications media. All were deliberately designed to pull on the heartstrings of the American public at large. Some fake news clowns even referred to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centers as “Trump Detention Centers.” Little, if anything, has ever been mentioned about the squalor and filth many illegal immigrants lived in…Continue Reading

Harrison Bergeron’s America

June 25, 2018 Frontpage Comments Off on Harrison Bergeron’s America

By MIKE MANNO There is a struggle going on in America today that is as old as the republic. It is the clash between freedom and equality, and opinions on either side are gradually ripping apart the fabric of society. “Why should there be a clash between freedom and equality?” you might ask. “Shouldn’t we be for both?” Well, those are the same questions my political science students would ask. And the answer is both yes and no. Let me explain: The concept of freedom, as in “freedom of” speech, religion, press, and so on, allows people to follow their dreams and desires without hindrance from the government. Equality, however, subordinates some freedoms for egalitarian reasons. An example: The concept…Continue Reading

Fiery Disputes Over Border . . . Smoke Out The Double Standards Used For Illegal Entrants

June 24, 2018 Frontpage Comments Off on Fiery Disputes Over Border . . . Smoke Out The Double Standards Used For Illegal Entrants

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — Sometimes illegal traffickers start fires near the international line with Mexico so the smoke will divert attention from their unauthorized border activities elsewhere. Well, it turns out that flaming diversions aren’t done only by Latino smugglers. Much began to be smoked out as June advanced about double standards and hypocrisy over the longstanding use of innocent children as pawns for border issues. It’s entirely legitimate to want to avoid suffering when possible for little ones. However, it’s not the fault of President Donald Trump or his supporters if wandering adult illegal aliens are tricked or sweet-talked by open-borders elitists into bringing vulnerable youngsters to the chaotic international line. When Barack Obama as president was confronted…Continue Reading

Breakthrough: Bishops Now Willing To Obey Canon Law!

June 23, 2018 Frontpage Comments Off on Breakthrough: Bishops Now Willing To Obey Canon Law!

By CHRISTOPHER MANION Four years ago, when asked about American bishops, pro-abortion politicians, and canon 915, New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan said: “Most don’t think it’s something for which we have to go to the mat.” He was right. In the years since, most bishops have ignored that provision of the Code of Canon Law. But their resistance miraculously evaporated at their recent meeting in Fort Lauderdale, where a resounding majority of bishops applauded the suggestion that canon 915 be resurrected. Curiously, the issue which ignited such widespread support was not abortion, but immigration. There are two stories here. First, the bishops. For years, bishops have been a leading partner in the national coalition advocating amnesty for illegal aliens. Like…Continue Reading

Will Ireland’s Fall Lead To Argentina’s Collapse?

June 22, 2018 Frontpage Comments Off on Will Ireland’s Fall Lead To Argentina’s Collapse?

By SHAUN KENNEY While the Catholic world is still reeling from Ireland’s capitulation to the abortion industry despite heroic resistance from within, the pro-aborts have set their sights upon a new target: Argentina. Argentina’s Catholics are starting from a position where Ireland’s Catholics felt themselves to be about ten years ago. Back in 2004, about two out of every three Argentinians opposed a further liberalization of the current abortion laws — laws that still permit the destruction of over a half million Argentinian babies every year. Yet despite being the home turf of one Jorge Cardinal Bergoglio, not only has support for Argentina’s current abortion laws come under siege, so too is the Church itself. Mass attendance — the most…Continue Reading

Mexican-American Says… Men Of Other Nations Must Fight Corruption In Their Homelands

June 21, 2018 Frontpage Comments Off on Mexican-American Says… Men Of Other Nations Must Fight Corruption In Their Homelands

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — On the same day that a U.S. Border Patrol agent was shot in an area of high illegal-trafficking activity near Arizona’s international line with Mexico, a fifth-generation Mexican-American in Phoenix coincidentally noted to The Wanderer that some men of other nations aren’t being properly encouraged to fight corruption and suffering in their homelands. Rudy Pena, a registered Democrat and political conservative, remarked that he has “been around politics all my life,” with his father having served as a state representative in the Arizona legislature, and his uncle a six-term Arizona state senator. Pena said he is working to get his own blog, “The Conservatino,” running before elections later this year. In a Q-and-A interview published…Continue Reading
