The democrats do care, it is why they changed the immigration laws and why they have been importing millions of Catholic voters.

For someone who isn’t interested you seem to be posting pretty obsessively on it, there are people who say one thing, but it is clear they aren’t being truthful, especially when they have to go to the trouble to write it out and post it to strangers on a political forum for days on end.

It makes them seem passionately, obsessively interested, especially if all they have to post, is a desperately hostile tone at simple facts about voting, on a site dedicated to voting and politics.

Wow, that's projection. I've basically only posted to you, with not a single hostile post in any way.

You've been angry with dozens of other posters, frothing at the keyboard, demanding things, generally acting psychotic.

Anyway, I wish you the best and will post no more to this thread. Don't let the world get you down. Protestants are fantastic! Just great!

Thank you, that is correct, it is me that you you have gone after for days, about something that doesn't even "interest" you.

I think it is called opinion. But you are right. Pointless for me to say “’tis” but also for you to say “’taint,” when neither of us can offer facts in rebuttal. As for myself, I am drawing on memory for monographs about voting of the post war elections, up to about 1965, and supposition thereafter. But you are in denial if you can’t see that the thinking of Catholics before, say. 1968, and afterwards was radically different. Who would have guessed, for instance, that a devout order of nuns in Southern California would turn into anabaptists as a result of their clash with the cardinal archbishop or that many others and many priests would be radicalized and the authority of the hierarchy virtually rejected by men determined to subvert that authority, including some of its members.

Catholics were 40% of combat Veterans during World War II. Ike got more Catholics than Dewey did in ’52, owing to the veterans vote.

This is crazy, you can't make up fake statistics like you did, post them as fact, start a song and dance when we request to see your source for the claim, claim that you didn't make them up, and then continue the song and dance, finally admit that you made them up, and now start challenge me to prove they are fake.

I am very sure now that you are the guy who has pulled this before with these fake statistics, and your dishonesty led to the same reaction that I am getting from you now.

The mods can require a source for things posted as fact, I hope they do that with you.

And why do you insist that they are “made up” when you offer nothing of your own? The 40% is quite consistent with the demographics of the time. Combat arms drew heavily on an urban population that was heavily Catholic, and a population that, relative to the Protestants and Jews was underschooled. It had little to do with any superior patriotism, and every thing to do with the draft which was straining to supply the 90 divisions that were required to fight a world war at the same time as huge industrial force. It seems that this threatens the nativism that you spout, a prejudice that can be traced back to the late 16th Century when Britain became a Protestant state, a prejudicr that survives the dechristianization of that country. The figure represents assertion like that of the undeniable one that notes the high representation of Southerners in the military in the voluntary army.

You really are not all there, you can’t just create fake statistics, and then BS them into factual reality.

You have proven that you are detached from reality.

You are just trolling now.
