The only licit response to that tripe is GKC writing in “The Everlasting Man” regarding another profligate: ” Then we sat down in the meadow and gazed idly at the tree-tops and the spire of the village church; while the warm afternoon began to mellow into early evening and the song of a speck of a bird was faint far up in the sky and no more than a whisper of breeze soothed rather than stirred the ancient orchards of the garden of England. Then my companion said to me: ‘Do you know why the spire of that church goes up like that? I expressed a respectable agnosticism, and he answered in an off-hand way, ‘Oh, the same as the obelisks; the Phallic Worship of antiquity! Then I looked across at him suddenly as he lay there leering above his goat like beard; and for the moment I thought he was not Pan but the Devil. No mortal words can express the immense, the insane incongruity and unnatural perversion of thought involved in saying such a thing at such a moment and in such a place. For one moment was in the mood in which men burned witches; and then a sense of absurdity equally enormous seemed to open about like a dawn. ‘Why, of course,’ I said after a moment’s reflection, ‘if it hadn’t been for phallic worship, they would have built the spire pointing downwards and standing on its own apex!”

ROFLMAO!

Hard to believe an idiot flew the Dagger, but then lacking a better charge what else are the True Believers to come up with?

As far as Kerry, what got him in trouble was his badmouthing his brothers in arms, his work with VVAW against those still in combat, and his serial lies about his combat experience (anyone else remember the magic hat and his supposed trip to Cambodia?).
