One of the Pope’s perennial themes. PopeWatch assumes that he believes this, in which case the Pope is an idiot, completely unable to process the facts of the Ukrainian conflict. This suits of course his inherent anti-Americanism and his policy of sucking up to tyrants. Heckuva job Conclave of 2013, heckuva job.

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary. The destruction of the bourgeois democrats’ influence over the workers, and the enforcement of conditions which will compromise the rule of bourgeois democracy, which is for the moment inevitable, and make it as difficult as possible – these are the main points which the proletariat and therefore the League must keep in mind during and after the approaching uprising.”

BillR, and Samson cut quite a swath with the jawbone of an ass. And there are always tent pegs.

Humm.
Pass a law to ban all asses and jawbones thereof, and you’ve eliminated the party of death.
I blame most of ancient Israel’s problems on jawbone and sling manufacturers.
