The American Catholic Patriotic Association.

We need a new term for the Pelosis, Ridges and Sr. Keehans of our country, their never-failing accommodation to the State, zeitgeist and advancement of newly-discovered "American" rights.

What better designation than the above?

Win, win, win, and bonus win!

I even have a motto for them: "Render Unto Caesar. Full stop."
