What emerges from these 12,000 pages of documents is how the diocese became complicit in hiding, obfuscating and harming children in its flock. Young. Defenseless. Trusting. Sheep to be sure. That, in my mind, makes the diocese as culpable as their child-preying pedophilic priests

Go Fuck Yourself NY: Gay Marriage Fails To Pass

Just because I voted for Obama, and just because he said he would escalate in Afghanistan, doesn't mean I have to agree with it. We had 8 years of a president whose followers blindly agreed with everything he did. Consider this a change.
