Chronicles Magazine

Tom Fleming and his little mag are a delight, assuring me there's some wit left in the Catholic remnant. A pleasant change from the Remnant Newspaper, which is incapable of humor. In this month's Perspective column:

"Here in the United States, so-called liberals are really no revolutionary Marxists, while the people who call themselves conservatives are, at one extreme, libertarian capitalistsWho reject any principle or experience that cannot be sold at a profit or, at the other, monomaniacs engaged in a desperate search for a leader to tell them which cliff to jump off of."

Oh whats the matter? Not pro-Ron Paul enough for you? I for one am glad that there are still some "trad" Catholics who are not hacks for the Von Mises Institute.

The Remnant has done a huge service calling out libertarianism and constitution worship amongst so called Catholics.

No...they're just humorless. And if you think Chronicles is somehow in cahoots with the Von Mises institute, you obviously haven't read Chronicles. It's as paleo-con as you could want....but I guess that its anyone who sees through St. Santorum's warmongering evangelical neo-con shtick is a closet liberal, huh?

Arlen Specter doesn't read Chronicles, BTW

Did Fleming ever retract his statements on the Schiavo case?

I mean, if he did, then bless 'im, my apologies to the chap. I hope for his soul's sake he did.
