ATHOLIC ANARCHY urges us to Resist or subvert Thanksgiving, pointing out that the holiday is an idolatrous pagan feast of the sort our ancestors avoided (or died trying to avoid): Thanksgiving and other civil “holi-days” (holy days) are indeed not “secular” at all, but are intrinsically religious. More than that, they are idolatrous and pagan [...]

EALTH. Is it a privilege or a right? For many Americans, it is both. Ironically, many of them are considered “poor”. In the musical, 1776, the more-conservative forces in the Continental Congress rally in the absence of their more-radical members. They sing a song about being cool, conservative men, chanting, “to the right, ever to [...]

Christ is Risen! NCE AGAIN, it should be clear that neither the Stupid Party nor the Evil Party is going to lead this nation down any road towards freedom, liberty or justice. We are, essentially, going to hell in a hand-basket. But, for now, we have a president everyone likes: President Obama told human rights [...]

INALLY Figured out what I’ve been mulling over in my head about the whole bail-out thing since Bush started it last year: STOP THE F!@# GIVING AWAY MONEY TO COMPANIES. Reagan and Bush and Bush proved that voodoo economics do not work. Repeat: do not work. Let the bastards fail. Fall. close. shut down. If [...]

IRST Let’s take a look at some non-mythological history. Constantine was seeking a way to unify his empire. After the wars and division that plagued the collapse of the tetrarchy and his accession to the throne, a unified people was necessary. So he first decreed religious diversity, promising Freedom to everyone. His slow move to [...]

HE RICH usually imagine that, if they do not physically rob the poor, they are committing no sin. But the sin of the rich consists in not sharing their wealth with the poor. In fact, the rich person who keeps all his wealth for himself is committing a form of robbery. The reason is that [...]
