Cardinal Dolan Beams With Corrupt Hillary . . . But What If Mr. Borderbrat Wants A Place At The Table?

October 30, 2016 Frontpage Comments Off on Cardinal Dolan Beams With Corrupt Hillary . . . But What If Mr. Borderbrat Wants A Place At The Table?

By DEXTER DUGGAN Dream a little. Try your imagination. Donald Trump didn’t win the Republican presidential nomination after all. Trump claimed to be against massive illegal immigration, but was he telling the truth or only playing for votes on a popular issue? Republican-primary voters demanded the real deal, someone who already proved his opposition to the unending border lawbreaking. So, according to this dream, let’s say they nominated for president a nationally well-known civilian border-watcher whose team kept their binoculars busy to report illegal immigrants trying to violate the international line. This guy’s opponents gave him the epithet “Mr. Borderbrat.” Now, a lot of establishment figures and liberals didn’t like Mr. Borderbrat disagreeing with their borderless visions. But it’s reality…Continue Reading

An Establishment In Panic

October 29, 2016 Frontpage Comments Off on An Establishment In Panic

By PATRICK J. BUCHANAN Pressed by moderator Chris Wallace as to whether he would accept defeat should Hillary Clinton win the election, Donald Trump replied, “I will tell you at the time. I’ll keep you in suspense.” “That’s horrifying,” said Clinton, setting off a chain reaction on the post-debate panels with talking heads falling all over one another in purple-faced anger, outrage, and disbelief. “Disqualifying!” was the cry on Clinton cable. “Trump Won’t Say If He Will Accept Election Results,” wailed The New York Times. “Trump Won’t Vow to Honor Results,” ran the banner in The Washington Post. But what do these chattering classes and establishment bulletin boards think the Donald is going to do if he falls short of…Continue Reading

Not In My Locker Room

October 28, 2016 Frontpage Comments Off on Not In My Locker Room

By JAMES K. FITZPATRICK A string of athletes and people associated with professional sports — extending from basketball superstar LeBron James to Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban — rushed to the microphone to proclaim that no one in their locker rooms engages in the coarse language about women that Donald Trump used on tape with Access Hollywood host Billy Bush in early October, the comments that Trump labeled “locker-room talk.” I have never been in a professional sports team’s locker rooms, but I have been in locker rooms or similar settings with men, for more than 60 years, from high school to when I was a member of Catholic men’s groups in parishes from the Bronx, to Westchester County, to…Continue Reading

Cognitive Dissonance On Our Side?

October 27, 2016 Frontpage Comments Off on Cognitive Dissonance On Our Side?

By JAMES K. FITZPATRICK The psychologists define cognitive dissonance as the “mental stress or discomfort experienced by an individual who holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values at the same time.” I think I might have a case of it. I think that many other Catholics with traditional views have it as well. I am hoping that readers of this column may be able to clear up my confusion. Here’s what puzzles me: The people I agree with on educational issues — media figures, writers, people I meet in my everyday life — are opposed to the rise of political correctness on our college campuses. They are impatient with the college leftists who shout down opposing points of view,…Continue Reading

Who Ya Gonna Vote For?

October 26, 2016 Frontpage Comments Off on Who Ya Gonna Vote For?

By LAWRENCE P. GRAYSON Imagine a terrorist attack in which all the men, women, and children in the states of Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Delaware, Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, and South Dakota were killed. As horrendous as this would be, fewer people would have been slaughtered than the number of children aborted in the United States in the last eight years. The abominations to the sanctity of human life and the indifference to the teachings of the Catholic Church in this period extend well beyond abortion. There have been restrictions on religious liberty, coercion of individual conscience, the approval of same-sex marriage, a growing legality of physician-assisted suicide, sanctions on public prayer, the creation of special “rights” for…Continue Reading

Political Burnout

October 25, 2016 Frontpage Comments Off on Political Burnout

By REY FLORES With the revelations exposing the many lies and ongoing corruption of our government officials, everyone from Democratic Party presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, FBI Director James Comey, and countless others, it has been a brutal last six months for Americans. I feel completely spent and burned out. Watching the unraveling of our nation, or at least the recent exposing of what may have existed for a long time now, I find myself disappointed and disillusioned. I realize Christ is King and, no matter who is president of the United States, this always remains true. But still we face the nation’s collective disappointment over our leaders and those who aspire to be our leaders. The skeletons in the closet…Continue Reading

Arizona GOP Activist Explains His “Never McCain” Effort

October 24, 2016 Frontpage Comments Off on Arizona GOP Activist Explains His “Never McCain” Effort

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — A veteran Arizona conservative Republican activist, Rob Haney, launched an effort to defeat U.S. GOP Sen. John McCain in the November election, even though liberal Democratic Senate candidate Ann Kirkpatrick would replace him. Among various items, Haney points to the powerful McCain’s lack of significant conservative legislation despite decades in Washington, his continuing hostility to conservatives, and the fact that when McCain moved to the Grand Canyon State, he planned to run as a Democrat but was told he couldn’t win the congressional district he wanted with that party. Haney, a supporter of GOP nominee Donald Trump for president, also notes McCain’s inconstancy toward Trump. After being standoffish toward the billionaire, McCain successfully sought Trump’s…Continue Reading

Kaine And Clinton . . . Think That Flapping Their Lips Makes Voters Blind To Reality

October 23, 2016 Frontpage Comments Off on Kaine And Clinton . . . Think That Flapping Their Lips Makes Voters Blind To Reality

By DEXTER DUGGAN As a native of Mexico born early in the 20th century, new St. José Sanchez del Rio, canonized in mid-October, spoke Spanish. But he also spoke an entirely different language from this year’s Spanish-speaking U.S. Democratic vice-presidential hopeful, Tim Kaine. Shortly before his 15th birthday, Sanchez was tortured and martyred by the sternly anti-Catholic Mexican government of that era for refusing to renounce Christ. He had been a flag bearer for the Cristeros, the heroic Catholics who rose to war against the Godless government that was punishing the Church and her faithful. They threw the government back on its heels. Without their armed resistance, how much longer would the political rulers have been hanging Catholics in rows…Continue Reading

Is The System Rigged? You Betcha!

October 22, 2016 Frontpage Comments Off on Is The System Rigged? You Betcha!

By PATRICK J. BUCHANAN “Remember, it’s a rigged system. It’s a rigged election,” said Donald Trump in New Hampshire on Saturday, October 15. The stunned recoil in this city suggests this bunker buster went right down the chimney. As the French put it, “Il n’y a que la vérité qui blesse.” It is only the truth that hurts. In what sense is the system rigged? Consider Big Media — the elite columnists and commentators, the dominant national press, and the national and cable networks, save Fox News. Not in this writer’s lifetime has there been such blanket hatred and hostility of a presidential candidate of a major party. “So what?” they reply. “We have a free press!” But in this…Continue Reading
