A wonderful article by Jeffrey Toobin in the New Yorker Magazine online Oct. 17, 2019 with his comments about the most awful speech given by Barr Barr Black sheep (my alternative name for the AG) at the University of Notre Dame last Friday, (October
11, 2019). Toobin wrote: "Barr took “religious liberty” as his subject, and he portrayed his
fellow-believers as a beleaguered and oppressed minority. He was addressing, he
said, “the force, fervor, and comprehensiveness of the assault on religion we
are experiencing today. This is not decay; this is organized destruction.”
Barr Barr continued ranting about our country's moral decay - (mostly due to leftist Democrats?)
Toobin pointed out all the errors in Barr's words and then added this: "As Justice Hugo
Black put it in 1961, “Neither a State nor the Federal Government can
constitutionally force a person to profess a belief or disbelief in any
religion. Neither (State nor Fed) can constitutionally pass laws or impose requirements which
aid all religions as against nonbelievers, and neither can aid those religions
based on a belief in the existence of God as against those religions founded on
different beliefs.”
Toobin concluded: "Barr’s speech, under current circumstances, is its hymn to
the pious life. He denounces “moral chaos” and “irresponsible personal conduct”
as well as “licentiousness—the unbridled pursuit of personal appetites at the
expense of the common good.” By contrast, “religion helps teach, train, and
habituate people to want what is good.” Throughout this lecture, one can only
wonder if William Barr has ever actually met Donald Trump."
Whew! (Maybe Barr Barr attends services at the Orange King's Pussy Church of God ? Or maybe Barr's daddy introduced him to one of the faculty members at his private school for teens in NYC - the brilliant mathematician J. Epstein?)
