DR. MARIAN HORVAT recently reported on the “Nuns on the Bus,” who have begun another national tour:

Now, top on the list of issues for these sisters are immigration reform, health care, and economic justice, certainly not pro-life or anti-“gay marriage” issues. “Vote people first” – is the motto. That is to say, vote Socialism first, vote Catholic second or not at all. The agenda is pure and simply social justice.

The sisters are all aging with typical short hair cuts, many in the Nuns on the Bus signature blue t-shirts, all in secular dress, in short, the modern “sister.” “Vote people first! Vote people first!” shouted these sisters and folks all gathered together on Day One of Nuns on the Bus. This translates quite simply to “Vote Democratic,” which explains Joe Biden’s presence for the grand kick off.

Biden took the stage and addressed the crowd about the widening income gap and supposed “danger” this presents to democracy. He reminded everyone how the Nuns on the Bus in 2012 took to the road and “fought like the devil” for Obama’s health care. (A typical foot in the mouth metaphor for Biden.) Now, they are out again, fighting for respect for immigrants, protection of voting rights and social justice.

Biden stressed that Catholics especially should do what the sisters say. “You’re looking at a kid who had 12 years of Catholic education,” said Biden. “I woke up probably every morning saying: ‘Yes, Sister; no, Sister; yes, Sister; no, Sister.’ I just made it clear, I’m still obedient.”

First that’s not quite true, since the high school Biden attended was Archmere Academy in Claymont, Delaware, a Catholic all-boys establishment run by the Norbertine priests, not sisters.

This article just makes me so weary.  It seems such silliness and upside-down pushes for “reform” have been going on all my life.

I guess what always bothers me the most about such shallow slogans as “Vote People First,” is that they are followed by a proposed course of action that instead puts people last.

Our wonderful free, capitalist society has brought more liberty and “firstness” to more people around the world, as our ways have been copied, than ever in the history of the world.  Yet these “cool” nuns and their ilk seek to destroy it, by continuously touting this great socialism/communism that has never worked, but has instead caused the death and suffering of untold millions.
