Why are confederate flags and swastikas only waved at "conservative" political gatherings?
George Orwell, Fascism And "Homage To Catalonia"

Greetings,
Proud Boy Dominic Pezzola (who is written up below), is a graduate of my alma mater, Aquinas Institute - a great high school in Rochester, New York.Saying that Aquinas should bust his chops with formal renunciation/disavowal/ censure is no different than saying the German people should have condemned nascent "brown shirts"... before it was too late.
Lamentably, the "good Germans" were too busy doubling down on their diligent ignorance.
We are passing through a "teachable moment" in politics and religion, and I hope Aquinas does not - through a sin of silent omission - ally itself with the nation's rapidly growing fascist movement.
Failure to renounce the seditious activity of this Aquinas graduate will speak volumes that AQ does not want spoken.
Seditionists like Pezzola - and their sympathizers - have no clue how perilously perched our democracy is.
Clearly, tens of millions of Americans want an autocratic state with prominent theocratic features.
And yes, as human beings endowed with certain inalienable rights, these people are entitled to harbor such preferences.
However...
Let us have an honest discussion about the politics that are actually in play.
To do so, we must call things by their true names.
Wikipedia's article on "The Separation Of Church And State In The United States" strikes me as fair and balanced. Notably, this entry is also dead-set against the views of those "preachers" Barry Goldwater had in mind. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Separation_of_church_and_ state_in_the_United_States
Personally, I think life-long Republican Steve Schmidt (who served as John McCain's campaign manager) has an admirably firm grip on what's at stake: https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=TDpfxqxuPyg
Nicole Wallace, who moderates the discussion that features Steve Schmidt has also been a life-long Republican. During the McCain campaign, it was Wallace's job to serve as Sarah Palin's "handler." Here is a video clip in which Wallace looks back on that distasteful time. https://www.thewrap.com/the- views-nicolle-wallace-reveals- when-she-lost-faith-in-sarah- palin/ N.B. In this clip, discussion of Wallace's personal-and-political history - starting as a member of the George W. Bush administration - begins at the 2:22 mark.
A linchpin initiative that would help restore political sanity to these "United" States would resort to full implementation of the 14th Amendment, instead of continuing to act as if Trump and his cultists are above the law.
Here is how the 14th Amendment would work in our current circumstance. https://newsfrombarbaria. blogspot.com/2021/01/the- seditious-uprising-on-capitol- hill.html
Thanks for listening.
I hope readers will chime in.

People who attended a private Catholic high school with Dominic Pezzola remember him as an “aloof, angry guy” who regularly picked fights at parties, and was always slouching in his chair ...
Barry Goldwater's Address On Religious Factions
1981
Alan: During my 1950s' childhood, any weirdo-relative living in an in-law apartment would have become a candidate for "insane asylum committal" as soon as s/he started spewing the kind of lunatic ideation that consumes Trump Cult, a coven of crazies who subscribe to QAnon, a new secular religion with its own messiah (i.e., Donald Trump) and its own resurrection (i.e., "John Kennedy Jr. is not dead").
And that's just the beginning.
Tom Hanks, Oprah Winfrey and Hillary Clinton are members of a vast Hollywood (and Democratic Party) cabal who operate a massive sex slave trade that also kills children to cannibalize them in Satanic blood rituals.
If you've got the stomach, you can learn more about this epochal normalization-of-insanity at:
"Whom The Gods Would Destroy, They First Make Mad"
Notably, Billy Graham's flagship publication, "Christianity Today," has condemned QAnon as "demonic."
"Christianity Today" Decries QAnon As "Demonic," "A Great Threat To The American Church" Preaching "Predatory Drivel"
Aquinas!
It's your turn.
