Right arm #20. Fwiw I get that it's better that he's not a disaster on all levels; maybe pretty decent in some ways. But man I wish he was flexible on the birth control issue - such a public health no-brainer.

You wrote " If we set aside the sexual hot-button issues like ordination of women, gay marriage, allowing Priests to marry--then he might turn out to be not such a bad guy."
Not gonna lash out, but listen to your language here - "sexual hot-button issues." What's sexual about ordination? And certainly marriage is mostly about other things too. Why file gay marriage and civil rights involving women under sex?
You might argue that the difference between "sexual" and "civil rights" (or whatever other sense you intended) in your sentence is semantics, but it's not. The fact that this is the expression to which you default is the product of a broader social pathology that as objective people we need to be aware of.
oh and go Atheism! Get out there and reproduce!

Sure but who does, with their papers, and nited States of America, and that rhyming with canoe thing. Oh, most of reasonable people? Never mind. An as I said, just more evidence of latter-day left Peronism in South American fake-idealist political rhetoric.

Wasn't he essentially a Left-Peronist populist grand-stander? At least Eva had a nice ass.
