It doesn’t matter that the hikes may poll well. We need to take the moral high-ground position that it’s flat-out wrong for voters to vote themselves into the pocketbooks of people who have stolen nothing from them. The economic arguments against the minimum wage are valid, but they are not enough.

Interesting how the church is anxious to jump in bed with those who hate and ridicule anything religious and who seek to drive them into extinction.

Yes he did. It is out there. He did say it. You can defend all you want, but he said it.

You've been taken in by some bad reporting. If you're interested in what he really said, you might try tracking down the quotes.

You can go drag out all the company info to cover tracks, but many other agencies have reported it. I have read their reporting, not the home side’s covering up reports.

Even this page says that it created a firestorm and the NY Times was all in a tizzie that atheists could go to heaven!! It celebrated the leftist view that all go to heaven. But, quickly everyone was trying to cover the tracks and say he was misunderstood. Sounds exactly what the MSM does when Obama steps in it. Same exact cover the real saying with the lies.

Here:

This is the last I have to say about it. You ride with the coverup and I will go with what a BUNCH of agencies reported, including the leftist NY Slimes.

Live in Maryland near Baltimore If you don’t why not post it on your state board ? Circulate these in the cathedrals parking lot... watch bishop Dennis scream.....

The piece below is designed to be printed up and passed around your precinct and your friends and neighbors as a half sheet flyer. On the face (REVERSE SIDE)or below the slogan you can put the name of the candidate you favor and the election dates...EXCELLENT FOR SLIPPING UNDER WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON CARS PARKED IN KEY PARKING LOTS CHURCHES, RALLY SITES....

STUFF IT DENNIS.....

Did you know the Democrat party voted to remove any reference to God at their 2012 national convention ? And when they decided it was a mistake and unpolitical they rammed the change to put it back in like they voted for Obamacare.But delegates booed the decision. The Democrat is not the party of JFK or even FDR. It’s a queer hyphenated marriage between socialists and “progressives” They are now Demo-Coms.

DEMO-COMS ARE
GOD DENIERS AND PREDACIOUS LIARS
PREACH REDISTRIBUTE
YOUR WEALTH INCITERS/
FIRST YOUR MONEY THEN YOUR GUNS
ISSUING DECREES OF MANY COME
DEMAND SURRENDERING CHOICES ONE BY ONE
INTO REGIMENTATION YOU MUST RUN
AND NOW THEIR ROBOT YOU’VE BECOME

It’s time to get a government run by a lying Godless political party OUT

OUT of Our faces
Our religions and and Our pocketbooks

Why are Catholic leaders always standing up for this socialist crap, anyway?

IMO...this is an old “utopia” idea. The fact is, the gap will never be solved by raising the minimum wage.

Raise minimum wage; prices go up. The gap between what you make and what things will cost you will be “basically” the same.

I do agree that workers should get raises based on keeping up with rate of inflation.

As I said, I am finished with you on this. You have your opinions and I have mine based on true evidence.

If what you say is true, I’d like to be convinced by you. I would be a great benefit to be able to evaluate the evidence.

I wonder why so many of our priests and bishops are such stupid, arrogant assholes.

They don't have to work for a living.
The "Church" is merely thinking about the inceased amounts showing up in the donation baskets on Sundays.
