Liberal Repercussion

Due to the nature of the blog, and my disorganized brain, the finer points turn up higher on the page than the seminal notions.

So, if you are wondering what my beef with Manuel A. Miranda is, let me recap.

Miranda, legal counsel to Republican Senate Majority Leader Frist is the guy who was taking information illicitly obtained from Senate Democrats' computers, through a security hole in the Congressional intranet and leaking it to the most rabid of right wing reactionary nutjobs. He managed to get private information out of the Dems' private directories and into the hands of the Scaife broads (the IWF), Robert "Treasonesque" Novak and the pathologically insane Federalist Society. The facts regarding this dissemination, along with some interesting bits about Miranda's career, follows.

Manuel A. Miranda, Esq., president of the Cardinal Newman Society, also argued that “personnel is policy.” He said that the most important and easiest step toward enforcing mission-centered personnel policies is to replace troublesome student affairs staff, who most often are responsible for “the problems of Catholic identity on our campuses and the scandals and harm to integrity they cause.”

Miranda was referring to problems such as excessive and underage drinking, sexual promiscuity and advocacy of activities not consistent with Catholic doctrine, such as abortion and homosexual activity. These were described in detail by Liz Fiore, who graduated from Georgetown University last May. Fiore and other students described numerous problems at their schools, including university-sanction condom distribution, hostility toward traditional Catholic devotions, policies mandating acceptance of homosexual conduct and a lack of appropriate Catholic retreat programs and liturgies.
