This is most interesting. And like you, I couldn't care less about Petraeus's extramarital activities. I am concerned about Afghanistan and our part in what happens there. Excellent post!
if people are being advised to arm themselves to "protect" and "defend" against incidents like this, my local movie theaters have the real potential to become shooting galleries. "Oh, yeah, officer. I thought this guy was digging into his backpack for his automatic, so I capped him."
well, I'M boycotting it/them. Have been for a long time, and when I find others doing this, I applaud and urge them to continue. But I'm one old lady in tennis shoes. Who pays attention to them?
Just goes to show you....You can't argue with a Roman Catholic, Mr. Cole. They firmly believe they have the right answer to everything. And it's usually male Catholics who have the loudest voices when telling the rest of us how to live our lives. Meanwhile, 98% of Catholic women use birth control. And years ago, a nun contributed money from her convent's social services kitty to help my neighbor get an abortion. All the blather about the Church speaking with God's voice is nonsense. No church speaks with God's voice exclusively. Not a single one. Some churches are better than others at following the teachings of Jesus Christ--feed the hungry, etc. But that's not the same thing as speaking with God's voice. I'm sure God wishes, as many of the rest of us do, that Gingrich, Romney, Santorum, et al. would STFU.

thank you for posting this, Dr. Cole. The right wing continues to take my breath away with their lies and fantasies.
Ask me if I want to go to the movies.
