That Wacky John Kerry

I didn't see his speech last night. (I watched a grand total of about five minutes of the Democratic National Convention.) Did he really say that the Fourth Commandment ("honor thy father and thy mother") prohibits privatizing Social Security? What a mind this guy has! Life begins at conception, but the Fifth Commandment doesn't require that we protect that life. But meddle, even on the margins, with the American system of old-age pensions devised in the 1930s, and you're on the fast-track to Hell.

Woe to all those good Christian princes now damned to fire and torment because they did not see, as John Kerry sees, the truth: no one comes to the Father except through Social Security.

(to put it differently.)
