re: the aspiring reality-show couple who managed to crash the White House party, a former Secret Service man says that 'the Secret Service, in particular, should have been extra vigilant because threats against the president have increased by 400 percent since George W. Bush was president.'
That is really, really sad... no, sick.

“The Windsor report. It’s just a report. When did it become like the Bible? The Covenant. Why do we need another Covenant? We have the Baptismal Covenant. We have the Creeds. What else do we need?” Bishop Martín Barahona, former Primate of la Iglesia de la Región de Central América and Bishop of the Iglesia Anglicana Episcopal de El Salvador
About Me
- Caminante
- I am a life-long Episcopalian, who has been ordained since 1993. I was rector of a family-size congregation from 1994-2008 and and ended three years as priest in partnership at a pastoral-size congregation in Vermont's fourth-largest city (Rutland) in 2011. Now I am vicar of a tiny congregation in the Green Mountains of Vermont. I am involved in church governance at the diocesan, church-wide and international Anglican levels. I was a member of a CREDO faculty team working with the clergy and lay leaders of l'Eglise Episcopale d'Haiti. I also try to go to El Salvador a few times a year and am officially Canon Missioner of the Anglican Episcopal Church of El Salvador (since 2004). In 2007, I finished the 1570 km Chemin de Saint Jacques/Camino de Santiago de Compostela. I greatly enjoy hiking in the Vermont Greens and NH Whites and reflect on those hikes. In 2010 I also completed walking the 273 mile-long Long Trail in the Green Mountains of Vermont... maybe next the Appalachian Trail? Lastly but most important, I am a cat-fanatic. (N.B. Whatever I post here does not reflect either the opinions of my congregation or of The Episcopal Church but merely those of an individual.)

Sick is right. It reminds me of the hatred of JFK, or perhaps it's even worse for Obama.
It makes me feel despair. So sad.
There is a difference between us...I´ve always known there were angry feardriven wackos in the world (sometimes I´ve been one)...but the murdering extremists have always been lurking (if one is Gay, one knows)...it´s easy to pretend that people are far more well adjusted than they really are BUT these days/daze we´re seeing what happens when fear and hate strike to close to home...the bigots, religious or not, go crazy...all in the name of a God they´ve never really understood, because if they had, they wouldn´t lack TRUST...they would welcome honesty, wisdom and the opportunity to face REAL issues of corruption, sexual depravity and greed.
No, they´ve always been there (sometimes closer than other times) playing their insistand/demanding games of PRETEND!
Yes, there have always been sickos, and we do tend to put them out of our minds until something like this happens. The Secret Service should be ashamed and that couple needs to be put in jail for a few days (without cameras and makeup artists).
