voters can be pretty stupid as we all know,
And for whatever stupid reason Catholics, Jews, yut’s, latins, fags, unionists and of course blacks all are still going to vote majority for this marxist punk.

Why would a Christian vote for Muslim Barack Hussein Obama anyway? Or why would a Hindu, Jew or Buddhist? Muslims work to annihilate all others.

Catholics shifting away from evil?

They shouldn’t have gone in that direction in the first place.

52% of Catholic voters were dumbasses in 2008. I know this to be a fact — I met too many of them in my parish. Most of them are still a bunch of feel-good liberals.

I’m guessing the Catholics got the memo from the Cardinal.

Dolan is closing the dim convention the last night... he claims it is not an endorsement... but his actions of the past would call into question the veracity of that claim. I am very confused by some in the Catholic Church. I am also in awe of some in the Church.

It is a working-class Catholicism, he says, where the Mass and the rosary are part of the warp and woof of daily life in places such as Scranton, Pa., Biden’s boyhood town. As Biden said when he visited Scranton in 2008, “This is where my family values and my faith melded.”

Maybe 50 or 60 years ago. Since that time, that brand of Catholicism has devolved into a Dorothy-Day socialistic melange of 60's hippy-dippy communistic/socialistic feel-good government-fed dependency that the current DemocRAT party has been only too happy to accommodate.

I don’t know if it’s really accurate to say that younger Catholics are more conservative, it’s just that the older generations were never confronted with — nor could have imagined being confronted with — so many non-conservative issues. Abortion was so “out there” that “decent” people didn’t discuss it. Gay rights??? Even the most dedicated Democrat prior to 1970 or 1980 wouldn’t have dreamed of “marriage” or any other such nonsense. So many issues we think of today as conservative were simply “assumed to be true”.... back in the day.

“Think about John Kennedy’s famous ‘ask not’ lines here,” Schneck says. “For that generation of Catholics, it’s a recognition that government and civil society have a profoundly positive role to play.”

And sadly those older folks STAYED with the Democrats even though the changes in the party brought it directly into conflict with Catholic teachings. By that time, the voters were so wedded to the notion that the Democrats were for the 'little guy' that they never even listened when anyone tried to tell them something different.

I don't understand Catholicism and I do not understand the Pope.

It could be argued that Nancy Pelosi is the most powerful proponent of abortion and infanticide on the planet.

It could be argued that the Pope is the most powerful advocate against abortion on the planet.

He for whatever reasons agreed to meet with her.

And yet as defiant as she was to highest authority in the Catholic Church there were no marks on her hands that he repeatedly rapped her knuckles with a ruler for her insubordination.

If I be Pope, Nancy be excommuinicated in a New York minute, and I'd kick out Chwissy Mathews for good measure as well.

It is my understanding that in times past many were excommunicated for lesser acts of defiance.

Any Catholic who votes Democratic should be excommunicated.

Both are Catholics

Biden masquerades as a Catholic. Ryan is the real McCoy.

Any Catholic who vote for Obama is nuts.

Any Jew who votes for Obama is nuts.

Any white person who votes for Obama is nuts.

Let me simplify - any person who wants to remain free and who votes for Obama is nuts.

That’s the crew that’s gonna put you all in chains, the Democrats.

“We have a younger generation of Catholics who are more conservative, especially on moral and cultural issues,” he says.

&&&
Please, God, make it true. I don’t see how the pendulum can swing any farther toward evil than it has in recent years.
