The Right's Silence on Ireland's Referendum

++Rude Pundit remarks this morning that American conservatives haven't revved up the outrage machine on Ireland's landslide support for same-sex marriage.

++Yes,the Vatican said it was a "defeat for humanity", which should have set off the Right in this country but maybe there are still sore at Pope Francis for slamming the defense industry,supply-side economics, and advocating strong measures on climate change.

++Mr. Domino Pizza Man ,who funded the "No" campaign, is silent. The Catholic League hadn't commented. NOM, which also funded the No campaign, lamely commented that it shows how secular Ireland has become. Tony Perkins said that we should have a national vote here.

++The magazine of Catholic conservatives, the National Review, hasn't chimed in yet.

++Overall,nothing has emerged yet from our Right.

++Notice the same on the normalization of relations with Cuba. Yes, the process is taking slower but Cuba and the United States keep holding productive meetings to eliminate the thorns in the way. There is even a bill facilitating travel for all Americans to the island in the Senate. 

++But again you haven't heard anything blasting the process.

++Instead we have Michelle Malkin attack Bernie Sanders for being a "socialist, hippie". 

++Meanwhile the Patriot Act wobbles because the Senate can't make up its mind. Good riddance.
