At the Atlantic, a look at Michael Vo...
MGB:_Too many Catholics are in the thrall of the GOP to ever let the USCCB take out ads against one of their presidents. Still, I would like clergy to have to show their own political hands before making pronoucements on abortion voting. Of course, some priests may be going the other way and would resist. Surely voting is outside the promise of obedience in a free society, even if some bishops don’t see it that way. Now THAT would be an intersting religious freedom debate.
If you are going to cover fringe groups like Church Militant, you must cover the other side as well. I have been at it longer and speak sanely on the same issues.
The issue of cutting taxes is monolithic in the GOP. The question is whether to pay for them and how. While there are those who favor some kind of consumption tax, like the FairTax, they will never agree to an added surtax on the rich to make the system as progressive as it is now. They also want to cut taxes on international busiess so the contributions keep rolling in.
