A co-employee of mine, who is of that “persuasion” used that term (breeders) around me once.
Once.

Once.
Except all sheets must have a thread-count of at least 600.
So was my loser brother-in-law.
I grew up in Palm Springs, I got used to being called a ‘breeder’. One of my bosses (gay) at an antiquarian bookstore I worked at even bough me a t-shirt so I didn’t get hit on by the roving bands of lesbians as much.
One time this total golf bull-dyke hit on me, I tried to me polite, then finally told her I was married - thinking she would figure it out. She asked me what my wife’s name was - so I told her (Mr R’s name is very obviously male). She got this disgusted look and said “Oh you are one of THEM!” Hence the t-shirt.
As a matter of fact, the Klan was far more hostile toward the Church than toward Jews and blacks, since the Church was a rising power in the country. Indiana was the biggest center of the Klan, and in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, where many farmers from the Midwest had recently colonized the area, San Benito was a big Klan center. The battle of South Bend, where Catholics students from Notre Dame beat up on a large Klan contingent made news across the country. Until about 1925 the Klan had a lot of Middle-class WASP support, until a scandal involving the Indiana Klan leader served to discredit them. Margaret Sanger famously attended Klan meetings, and in Oregon, where the Klan was also strong, the state tried to abolish Catholic schools.
As to the Cardinal, I am afraid he is not a fighter.

I wish he had not backpedaled as well. At least he didn't totally give in; the problem is that the homosexual agenda's methods, goals and every one who supports it are the height of intolerance and tyranny. And that is a fact. I'd say more like Nazism than the KKK but really any perverted, bigoted and tyrannical group fits.
The original Klan started out as a resistance to Federal Occupation of the South. The modern Klan started around 1914, and was more or less an imitation based on the movie, Birth of a Nation.
Well, they hid the fact Ashley was a Klansman in the movie.
Why does the KKK hate Catholics?
The progressive movement revived and championed the KKK after the election of Woodrow Wilson and the Confederate democrats of the South celebrated in the streets. Around this time an alliance was born between the old school Confederate democrats, the populists of the Peoples party and the progressive democrats of the north. These were great days for the democrat party (after losing the Civil War) and it is telling that their success at the polls coincided with a revival of the KKK.
I have always thought that the anti-Catholic stance of the KKK went back to the days when the democrat party started boycotting religious ceremonies at the Capitol because Republicans were inviting black Americans. In the 1800s I believe. I also believe that this is what prompted the progressive movement stance and policy of separation of church and state. Hugo Black, the progressive lawyer of the KKK went on to become the Supreme Court justice who ushered in this policy from the bench.
This Bishop tends to see a similarity between the fascist homosexual rights movement and the KKK but in reality this similarity is there between all of the progressive movement and the KKK. Just as the KKK hated and attacked Catholics throughout their history we see progressives and democrats today continually attack the Catholic church and all of the Christian right.
It would seem though that you can really get the precise ideological view of the progressive movement through the actions of the ACLU (in my opinion) in that they continually fight to drive all religious expression behind closed doors while at the same time treating any and all sexual expression as being sacred and protected no matter how perverse or lewd and no matter what age group the expression is among.
By 1940, the Klan had dissolved into small cliques in places like West Virginia, where Robert Byrd was a member. Which is why John Kennedys victory in the 1960 West Virginia primary was taken as proof that a Catholic could win nationally. Of course, at that time, it was known how much money Joe Kennedy had spread around the state.
Thanks for the ping.
Thanks for the ping.
In an age where everyone seems to run around looking for something to get offended by, that term actually is offensive to me! LOL
Understandable, but for me getting hit on constantly by ugly women was more offensive.
