Why, When Someone Asks My Party...

...I answer, "Well, I'm Catholic."  Cause--check this out:

...Over on the Left, you have Progressive nutjobs denouncing Benedict as a closet standard bearer for the Third Reich while in Minnesota, some GOP fool bucking for a promotion from the Right Wing Noise Machine hears the Pavlovian stimuli "social justice" and "common good" and (as he was taught to do by Glenn Beck, perhaps the greatest genius of our age), promptly starts barking about the Komminiss' under the episcopal mitre...

While Mark Shea may be putting the case a little strongly, I agree with the essential point: the left and the right have each taken the truth by opposite corners and pulled hard enough to tear it in two, then each run off to their respective corners of the room to taunt the other because they're ignoring the scrap of truth in the opposite party's hand.  Scizophrenic.  Unhealthy.  Not good for the common good, social justice, or human rights and dignity.
