Candlemas



I'm tempted to reflect on the strange double standards of the age we live in. How it's not OK for Justice Kavanaugh to have an immature excerpt in his high school yearbook but it is OK for Governor Ralph Coonman Northam to go all Grand Wizard in his. 

Weirder still, it's apparently terrible to separate children from their parents at the border but it's a triumph to separate them from their lives at the moment of birth. Surely no one's benefiting from the sale of body parts. That's all too unthinkable, except that it isn't.

It's almost as though there's two different sets of laws or standards at work here. One for the Rainbow Moloch and another for everyone else. But let's not go there; here's the collect for Candlemas:

ALMIGHTY and everliving God, we humbly beseech thy Majesty, that, as thy only-begotten Son was this day presented in the temple in substance of our flesh, so we may be presented unto thee with pure and clean hearts, by the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Light up those candles and pray, it's needed.

God bless,

LSP

I'm surprised that anyone pays ANY attention to the rainbow warriors. Honestly, LSP, I am.

Fight the good fight, keep the faith and light a candle for me.

The post would be accurate if there were any coming to the defense of Northam. For double standard to apply.....there actually has to be two standards at play.

I am constantly dismayed by the overt double standard!

Will do, LL, and have.

Good point, CI. In fairness tome I was behind the news when I wrote that. Still, remember the murderous rage of the left in general and celebs in particular about the perceived racism of the Cov Catholic kids?

How many of our prog friends have suggested we throw Northam into a woodchipper. Double standard?
