We cats want to say to Jeb! Bush and Rick Santorum and Marco Rubio and all those other self-righteous Republican Catholics:
When it comes to climate change, we're with the Pope.
(Wow! Did we just do that? Side with the guy who runs the big palace in Rome with all the old queens in long dresses? We did! There's no better measure of what a rockin' and rollin' pontiff ol' Frankie is than that.)
But back to the Republicans — specifically, Bush. He's just one day out of the official 2016 gate and has already said something hilarious. (Well, another thing that was hilarious.) Here's the latest: Bristling at the Pope's concern that humankind is abusing the planet God put them in charge of, Bush sniffed to Sean Hannity, "Religion ought to be about making us better as people, less about things [that] end up getting into the political realm."
HAHAHAHAHAHA, what a joke, Jeb!
Wait — it is a joke, right? After all, how can you take offense at somebody "politicizing religion" when your party began perfecting that strategy as far back as 1980? Do the names Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, James Dobson, Ralph Reed, Gary Bauer, Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, Tony Perkins, Judge Roy Moore, Fred Phelps, and Billy and Franklin Graham mean anything to you? (We cats are sure we've missed somebody, so please write us.) When you, Jeb!, personally cited your Catholic faith to justify interfering with a Florida family's personal medical decisions? We can't stop laughing.
It's so incredible that the guy who's considered the "establishment moderate" comes out with crap like this and nobody seems to call him on it but us feline bloggers. Our irritation is compounded by our concern that Bush will continue to be dubbed "the reasonable one" when nutcases like Donald Trump keep jumping into the race. Journalists, can we please order up some institutional memory? Until then, we cats HISS.
