The people have spoken and we will have as President this fall, someone who thinks Planned Parenthood does some very good things...or we will have Hillary Clinton.
We will have someone who has no humility.
We will have someone who has no scruples about lying, about destroying others, and about lying about destroying others.
We will have someone who thinks the law is for other people.
We will have a leader who is willing to mock other people, and to tell all followers, it's okay to hate the other side. They're legitimate to hate.
We will have a leader who thinks because people on the other side hate, they are somehow legitimate and noble.
We will be ruled by either a party indifferent to anything anyone says, or the other presuming about its own moral value based on comparison. If the Houyhnhnms or the Yahoos win, humanity loses.
America loses.
No one running for office this year who will be on the November ballot has done anything ti show they care about anything or anyone other than themselves.
If the theme of the 2008 election was hope, the theme of 2016 is
Abandon all of that, ye who enter here.
Not to spend too much more time gazing into the Palantir, for such way lies only despair, but my one worry and warning is based on the one thing I've seen from the fruits of both candidates about the coming election. No matter who wins, we will have someone in the White House who above all other things, desires power.

Offer Up, Speak Up, Prayer Up
We know that the world is a mess and I know sometimes we tend to think "That's just the way it is." The overwhelming nature of suffering and evil can lead one to shrug one's shoulders, because there is nothing we think we can do.
But if we think at all about what we know about human nature, what we love, what we seek, what we hope, we know the way the world should be, is a warmer lighter welcoming place than what we tacitly accept as we let the news of Iraq, Syria, the border of the United States, wash over us as simply the baseline of every day. We haven't as Christians, adopted a strategy for dealing with evil, but it is time we should.
Speak up.
Failing to speak is the equivalent of coming to accept that the trains run by our towns, and we will have to answer for our desires to remain uninvolved, to stay out of it. It is lazy to think, "What could we do?" or "What can we do?" or "What good will my speaking out do?" It demands nothing, it risks nothing, and it allows one to pretend acting would mean nothing. Rationalizing tepid comfort allows the evil to progress unhindered.
The answer is, we must speak up, or evil flourishes in the silence, in our unwillingness to even raise the slightest hint of noise. We can name evil evil, otherwise it pretends it isn't and people let it.
The forced moving of Christians under threat of genocide is evil. Beheading of journalists, of children, of anyone, crucifixion of people by these extremists, is evil. Failing to name these acts and the sufferings caused by those who support/follow/act on behalf of ISIS as evil, is moral cowardice.
Here are the web pages for the The White House, The United Nations,, The Senate and The House of Representatives, Catholic Relief Services and Samaritans Purse. I don't know who else we should contact, but ask the Holy Spirit where to speak and who to speak to, and then get talking. Get them to talk.
Offer Up...
We can stand here with those far away, offering up the trivial petty small pains of an ordinary day for those for whom, there is right now no such luxury as normal and ordinary. How? By contacting your senators and leaders, by writing about it, by reading about it, by pondering what would we leave aside for our faith? What would we be willing to sacrifice and surrender?
Right now, there is the ice bucket challenge for ALS. Only someone living under a rock does not know about this trending method of providing a jovial moment on the internet for a charity, but here is a different challenge, would that it became viral.
Today, offer up a drink at dinner. Be thirsty. Why? Because fasting and prayer matter, and offering up a little something for those who have nothing, has meaning, even if the world thinks otherwise. No one will see that you aren't having a drink. You can't post not drinking or show it in a picture. It won't even make a good tweet. It won't make sense except in the context of solidarity with those who suffer. The Beattitudes say, blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice...they shall be satisfied. So be thirsty.
You'll know it though, with everything in you, because you'll want a drink, and that will remind you of everyone who doesn't have anything, because they had to leave everything, just to hold onto the one thing we take for granted in this country, their faith. We will be thirsty for the less real water, because those not here, were willing to be thirsty for the life giving water which flows from Christ. And every time you think as you eat your dinner, "I'm thirsty," smile. Ours is a terribly tiny sacrifice, but it should be a gift willingly given.
Prayer Up...
Remember when all hell seemed to be breaking loose in Syria and Libya and Pope Francis asked for people to pray and fast for peace back in 2013 and the knots which seemed intractable for a time, loosened, and the war which seemed inevitable, abated. It seems to have returned.
44"Then it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came'; and when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order.45"Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. That is the way it will also be with this evil generation." Matthew 12:45
And so the demons have returned, worse than the first. No one can think the acts we've witnessed in recent days are not demonic. The acts we've seen harken to September 11th, to the bombings in other countries on the anniversary, and worse.
And as we all know, some demons can only be evicted with prayer and fasting. So offer a Hail Mary, a decade, a rosary, a chaplet, an hour of adoration, a mass, time with scripture, with your family. Every scrap of prayer is counted in Heaven against the darkness we inflict upon each other, by what we do and don't do, and helps bring about the healing of the world. And man, does this world need healing. Everyone in this country has a 3 day weekend before them, so no one can say, I didn't have time. Now, it becomes a choice.
If we want justice, pray for peace. Time to make this Labor Day weekend, one remembered for more than Bar-b-cue, beaches and baseball.

Do
Watching the news, one cannot help but feel helpless. Everywhere in the Middle East, hell seems to be unleased on Earth. And it seems all we can do is read the news, watch the videos and howl with them. We are not there. We cannot stop these people from doing evil things like isolating fleeing villagers and leaving them out on a mountain exposed to chose between death by deprivation or death by beheading if they try to return. We cannot stop the beheading of children. We cannot stop the crucifixion of whoever they decide to crucify. We get to simply watch as the world turns mad.
Driving downtown, one cannot help but feel helpless, as every corner with four lights has a person, sometimes two, with a sign. "Help. Homeless." and a cup. Some look sicker than others. Some look slicker than others. But all of them are asking the same thing. Help. You fish for a quarter or a dollar, it doesn't seem to be sufficient, and yet we cannot figure out what would be. How could we feed them properly?
We can give to the pantry and to charities, we can pay our taxes, and still, there is a ocean, everywhere we look, of need. Physical need. Emotional need. Spiritual need. It is small wonder, most of us now look to keep ourselves inside, to stay on news sites that do not make us squirm, to visit virtually, so we need not minister physically. In an age of instant and constant communication, of 24-7 news and 24-7 capacity to reach out, we are filtering everything to let the least amount in possible and still consider ourselves connected.
There is a grave temptation, when we see need after need after need, to stop and say, it is too much. We only have these five loaves, these two fishes. Worse, it is true. We only have these cisterns of water. We are out of wine. We only have this nothing in the desert. But if we give what we have. If we do what He tells us. If we but ask, the 5000 will be fed, the water becomes wine, there is manna in the desert.
How do we offer up our loaves and fishes and our water filled cisterns? How do we give in the desert to help those so far away?
Begin small. It is how God works, so it should work for us.
1) Surrender one little pleasure a day in solidarity with those who do not have such a luxury. It can be diet coke. (Yes that's a big one for me) Chocolate, television, the internet, just something and it can be a different thing each day, but give it up.
2) Pray. Today's readings talked about having faith the size of a mustard seed. If we did, we could move mountains. Let's move a mountain of hearts. Pope Francis has called for people to simply pray for the displaced people of Iraq. We're being shown on all sides, the desperate need for prayer. If you need reminders (and who doesn't), I recommend Pray More Novenas. You get an email every day of the Novena with the prayers. Read and you've given that little bit. But they aren't always happening, so if you want something for every day, I recommend the Magnificat. It would be a better source for me if I didn't inevitably lose it somewhere during the second week of the month before finding it in the fourth, but it's still excellent. The third one I'd recommend, and these are all different, so they have different appeals, is the 3 Minute Retreats. It's a gentle way to engage daily in just a touch of reflection.
3) Give. Just like the other two, which are only small things, 3 minutes, one thing a day, give something. Give it daily. I don't care if it's a dollar to one beggar --learn his name so you can say "Hey John Chase" when you see him, but give. A can to the food pantry a day, 7 days a week, brought at mass, is a gift a day, and cumulatively, they add up.
The goal is to build a mountain of mustard seeds.
What inspired this post? Simcha Fisher's excellent reflection on what we are called to do. Catholics are supposed to always be both and, feeding the belly and the heart, both bread and wine and the body and blood, we are always supposed to be more than the minimum. So now, go. Do.

Nothing That Concerns You Has Happened
Nothing that concerns you has taken place. Be calm. Be of good cheer, no bad evil or wrong thinking is going on in your government, we're benign happy people who only spend money responsibly on good things. The only people who ever are wrong or bad, are those other guys who aren't in power, but are stinky heads anyway, to be spit on, possibly jailed, and always ignored. If any of them raise any concerns, it's not because they're right or we're wrong, it's because they're greedy for power we have. You can't trust them. But you can trust us. We've the better intentions even if we do exactly what was done before but don't tell you.
Yesterday, I read about the hunger strike at Gitmo, where possibly as many as 166 inmates have been on hunger strikes owing to the abuses and conditions they endure in their never ending confinement.
It seems only a few years ago, I remember when the political left was a champion for their rights, for human rights, for the Constitution and the rule of law. I remember when the idea of the U.S.A being engaged in torture or permanent imprisonment without possibility of trial or parole or even charges, brought thoughtful and consistent outrage at the administration for its slow responses and casual indifference to violations of agreed upon standards for treatments even of "hostile enemy combatants." I remember back when Bush was president, feeling horrified at the existence of the camp, and thinking, anyone brought there, if they weren't broken when they went in, would hate the US if they ever got out. I remember thinking, this couldn't be our government, being coy with the rule of law, pretending to somehow parse the constitution to allow something like torture and indefinite imprisonment to exist. I remember feeling ashamed. I also remember musing that in creating such a place, a door was opened for future mischief.
That future mischief happening has now been going on for a while.
Now that it is 5 years into the existing administration's run of the land, can we possibly consider the moral legitimacy of arguing against this policy without being told such criticism undermines the existing president, is politically or racially motivated, or has no weight since Bush did it first and worse?
Wrong is wrong. Violating rights and holding prisoners in permanent limbo isn't a policy any person with an R or a D beside their name should endorse, it is UnAmerican, it is inhuman. People who watch Fox News and those who comment on Das Kos ought to be on the same page about this, that we can't be a nation of laws if we ignore those laws when they are inconvenient. Human beings matter. They matter whether they are Muslim or have Alzheimer's or Down Syndrome or have been raped, or are the teenagers who committed the crime or are unborn. We are a nation that claims to be better, to cherish life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as part of our core. We are ignoring that core for some people, because it is easier than the alternative that freedom demands. We are going to have to live unsafely and be okay with the reality that life and liberty, involve risk.
So how do we let these people go? We swallow hard. We recognize that we have probably created by our unwillingness to follow our own laws, regardless of political affiliation, a whole new generation that can declare us hypocrites and justify by their own pain, any rage they throw our way. We will have to work seven times seventy times to earn the trust we have burned over the years. Some of those injured or who view the injuries, will never trust us. We will have to live with that too.
We live in an age that is honestly burnt out on outrage. We should be. We have seen how little fruit it produces. Our congress passes laws without reading them and spends money without thinking. It holds committees that make recommendations that are promptly filed away never to be used. As a people, as a government, we waste, we idle, we blame, we rule, we smother, we take, we spin. But we never stop a program. We never cut back. We never stop what is politically convenient. We never release power once acquired.
For our society to begin to get better, Americans have to not spend energy being outraged, and instead spend our talents speaking and learning and pushing back against the political sloth that paints all approval or dismissal of policy as purely based on politics and thus not worthy of note if it goes against your guy's side. We need to insist to the President and to the house and the senate, that this place be closed. We need to insist that these people be returned to their homes. We need to have trials with charges to illustrate to the world and ourselves, we aren't petty tyrants with large credit cards. We need to respect the rule of law for all people at all times, if we would be a society that values the rule of law.
Everyone gets that those laws, following them, in all scenarios, it's hard. It's why we've failed in some cases, but we have the power to stop failing. Being a nation of laws is what makes us a nation worth having, worth keeping. Call your representatives and senators, write your papers an email.
My fellow blogger The Ironic Catholic has some excellent links and her piece also talks about the need for all of us as Americans, as people of good will, as humans, to speak out and ask that this place be closed. Those who have been cleared, must be set free immediately. There is no excuse, save fear of what we have done, and we need to be a braver people who when they see something is wrong, stop the wrong itself.
So I stand with my fellow blogger in asking questions, and the others who have joined...

Kinetic Military Action Preparations
Think this policy regarding Libya was just made up on the fly? Think again. We've uncovered the secret Commander in Chief to-do list that was sketched out and completed before the planes started flying.
10) Pack a tie in case you need to give a formal address. Recall how the Neo-cons jumped all over you that Christmas for not suiting up.
9) Send "Tweet" to Congress: Remember that article in Time on How Much I'm Like Reagan?
8) Tell CBO to release the real numbers for the deficit. Re: It will take a while to type out all the zeros in the discrepancy between the prior figures and the actual ones...or at least closer to actual ones now released, it will buy time.
7) Order George W. Bush an autographed copy of "My Pet Goat."
6) Google golf courses I want to hit after we're done with our part of the offensive.
5) Distract Biden with the promise of a DNC fund raiser in New York where there would be cake. (It's true).
4) Write victory speech. Include words "Winning the Future" and a gratuitous swipe about how I get the "Mission Accomplished."
3) Troll the internet to watch Press, Democrats and Liberals engage in mental yoga to support me. Laugh.
2) Watch Republicans try to reflexively not support these actions and be unable to do so. Laugh more.
1) Unfriend Qaddafi on Facebook.
*On a serious note, semantics aside, no matter what any party in charge calls something, any action on a people that involves over 112 missles hitting targets within a country with jets still flying, still dropping, probably is only called one thing by those who must duck and cover, something close to hell.
