Judie Brown: "Humpty Dumpty's Catholics"

Many who have read Lewis Carroll's beloved Alice Through the Looking-Glass http://www.amazon.com/Lewis-Carroll-Alice-Through-Looking-glass/dp/1858943299 remember the classic lines of dialogue between Alice and Humpty:http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/23101.html

    "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone. "It means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less."

    "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."

    "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master — that's all."

Humpty's words have developed a new meaning when discussing subjects such as Obamacare, Senator Ted Kennedy and what it means to be Catholic.

The ever-insidious (while always amusing) dissident Catholics United organization has taken a turn toward ugly with recent statements about American Life League's September 12th poster reading "Bury Obamacare with Kennedy."
