Let's invade Iraq

Boycotting the census works against the interest of all foreign nationals in the United States, but the boycott advocates don't let a little thing like logic stop them from making lots of noise while cutting off their nose to spite their face.

If they did this in Texas, it might make sense. Here in Massachusetts, even illegal aliens would help retain a seat in Congress that's much more likely to frame immigration policy in a non-punitive way that might build a path to citizenship that's not too onerous.

I have to wonder who's paying for this.

In order of importance

I can understand why the Catholic Church would deem abortion worse than sex slavery. I don't agree - ensoulment at conception is not only made up of nothing, there's no evidence or rationale for it - but I can understand.

What I can't understand is how the Church could possibly deem mere birth control worse than sex slavery. Most of their parishioners practice it, and not by the rhythm method either.

My tax dollars are funding this moral blind spot.
