...would have been King’s enemies in life pay lip service to his ideals, hijacking his rhetoric for their own purposes, it is imperative that the true custodians of his legacy see to it that the true King is not lost to the dustbin of history in favor of a whitewashed figment of the national imagination...
...answer was that liberation theology smacked too much of communism. But as time went on, it became clear John Paul was equally offended by a broad spectrum of doctrinal creativity and criticism. He dismantled the Jesuit leadership, presumably because of its perceived leftist sympathies. (In its place of papal favor, he raised the extremely conservative organization Opus Dei, elevating the once obscure group to the status of his "personal prelature.")

Even better, sometimes, if you look twice at a panel of a car driving in front a suburban home for example, you discover the toddler crossing the street, in possible mortal...
...guys renting a million tapes each," he told CBS News. Fishbein means that the phenomenon can't be simply a big-city, left-wing perversion; a good many of those renters, those consumers of hotel porn, have to be red-staters. Which is why, among all the cries in favor of traditional values and against naughty TV, you haven't seen many county sheriffs or G-men forcing the old smut peddler do a perp walk. Porn doesn't affront contemporary community standards. It is a contemporary community standard...
