The post that was here has been moved to my personal/Catholic blog:

http://thecrawfordfamily.net/blog/?p=437

It’s not being moved because some people didn’t like it, as Doug suggested in the comments, I really don’t care. I don’t care that some didn’t like it. I don’t care that some don’t care what my thoughts are on the subject. I also don’t care that I got a fair amount of extremely bigoted hate mail by people accusing me of being intolerant (which I always find a great irony). I believe that my post was both important and reasonable and I have no regrets for having posted it in regards to those who didn’t like it or thought it was off topic. It was too important to ignore.

However, what I do care about is my co-blogger Jason Snell. I did not consult with Jason before posting, which was a mistake. I’ve apologized to him personally and I do so now publically for having not consulted him about the post. Jason is reasonably concerned about having his name attached to a blog that has any political content. He perfers to keep his political beliefs private and is worried that there will be some confusion as to whether any political posts would be assumed to speak for both of us, which is not the case. Particularly since his career is a fairly public one but not at all politically related, he would like to avoid any issues that may arise by being attached to political commentary on this blog.

So, out of respect for Jason, I have moved the post to my personal/Catholic blog even though I strongly stand behind both its content and the decision to post it on a Cal blog, had the blog been soley my own.
