Those who want to understand how Democrats manage to scare the hell out of vast sections of the country need look no further than the story of Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.), Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) and the Knights of Columbus.
In considering the confirmation of Brian Buescher to a federal judgeship last month, Harris and Hirono submitted written questions that raised alarms about his membership in an all-male society comprised primarily of Catholic men. Were you aware, Harris asked, that the Knights of Columbus opposed a womans right to choose when you joined the organization? And: Have you ever, in any way, assisted with or contributed to advocacy against womens reproductive rights? And: Were you aware that the Knights of Columbus opposed marriage equality when you joined the organization?
For those who know the Knights of Columbus, this is a bit like accusing your Aunt Harriets knitting circle of being a Mexican drug cartel. In most of the country, the Knights of Columbus is a respected fraternal organization consisting of men who hand out coats to needy children, promote devotion to the Virgin Mary, support crisis pregnancy shelters and protest doggedly each year in the March for Life.
Hirono regards the traditional moral views of the Knights as extreme positions. The difficulty with this line of reasoning is that they are exactly the same positions of the Catholic Church itself. So why wouldnt a judges membership in the Catholic Church with its all-male clergy, opposition to abortion and belief in traditional marriage be problematic as well?
