Bloviating Zeppelin: Moonbat? Or Simply Insane?

Bloviating Zeppelin

(in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Moonbat? Or Simply Insane?

Another reason the Dutch aren't respected -- or don't even truly "factor" in terms of world events -- and are primarily ignorable:

Catholic churches in the Netherlands should use the name Allah for God to ease tensions between Muslims and Christians, says a Dutch bishop.

Tiny Muskens, the bishop of Breda, told the Dutch TV program "Network" Monday night he believes God doesn't mind what he is called, Radio Netherlands Worldwide reported.

The Almighty is above such "discussion and bickering," he insisted.

Muskens points to Indonesia, where he served 30 years ago, as an example for Dutch churches. Christians in the Middle East also use the term Allah for God.

"Someone like me has prayed to Allah yang maha kuasa (Almighty God) for eight years in Indonesia and other priests for 20 or 30 years," Muskens said. "In the heart of the Eucharist, God is called Allah over there, so why can't we start doing that together?"

Number One: "Tiny Muskens"? You're kiddin' me. . .

Number Two: Why stop there? Let's just get it over with and start praying to Mecca five times daily, eh?

So: Moonbat or insane?

I say: dangerously stupid; a nice triumvirate.

They've both murdered a few 100,000 people in the name of religion.

The Practicalist said...: When in Rome... (or in his case Indonesia)

But when in the Netherlands? It seems that would only serve to weaken your esteem in the eyes of another faith. The only relationship he could hope to foster would place him in a position of the party who will compromise his faith.; Thu Aug 16, 10:55:00 PM PDT

A former Democrat in my tender and ignorant youth, I am now a Conservative first and, these days, quite a distant Republican with a dash of Libertarian mixed in for good measure. I believe in God, the strength of America, the brilliance of our Founding Fathers, the valor of our military, and the need for Leadership in all forms and on every level. I am not an advocate of censorship as I believe everyone on the Far Left has a God-given right to be painfully stupid -- as I have a right to expose said stupidity.
