Ivins’ Latest Crime: He was a Catholic

The keystone cops at the FBI have come up with another explanation to Ivins’ motivation. Besides being obsessed with New Jersey sorority chicks, Ivins of all things was a Catholic. The horror. Not only was he a Catholic, he was one of those pesky pro-life Catholics, you know folks who are against violence in the womb aimed to destroy innocent life.

NPR reports:

There was some speculation that Ivins had targeted Daschle and Leahy because he saw them as holding up funding that would have helped pay for his research into an anthrax vaccine. Now, officials close to the investigation say another possible motive could have been that Ivins saw the senators as bad Catholics because of their votes in favor of abortion rights.

Ivins and his wife were both practicing Catholics, and their children had attended and graduated from a Catholic high school in Frederick, Md. His wife, Diane Ivins, according to an e-mail Ivins wrote in 2002, was president of the Frederick County Right to Life, and the couple had connections to many other anti-abortion groups. In a July 10, 2002, e-mail cited in the affidavit, Ivins wrote: “I’m not pro-abortion, I’m pro-life, but I want my position to be one consistent with a Christian.”

Call out the guards. Round up the usual suspects. There is no greater crime and conspiracy against the state than holding connections to anti-abortion groups and attempting to be a consistent Christian.

To the pro-lifers and Catholics who blindly trust the state and its minions, remember, they are not your friends. To them, you are useful idiots. To all those religious groups who pushed for Faith Based Initiatives and the Patriot Act, beware.

To the latest Ivins development, what say the Catholic neocons? Do they buy the drivel that Ivins was some kind of lone-nut, or might they think there is something else going on that they dare never admit in public, a conspiracy?
