2. I am not hostile to you at all and have been in recent regular agreement with you on matters political.
3. I am very arrogant but have tended to avoid conflict with Reformed Christians here since we ought to be allied against common political enemies.
4. Truth be known, I am something to behold. So are you.
5. You really ought to weigh and consider why many Catholics are Democrats. There are ancient issues on which the Democrats were right and the Republicans were wrong; i.e., "Rum, Romanism and Rebellion" and "Jobs Available: No Irish Need Apply." and that one's boss voted Republican while the Democrats resisted his efforts to dominate one's self and one's relatives and one's friends. In those days, labor was of the George Meany variety. He attended Mass and Communion every day of his life and refused endorsement of Comrade George McGovern and encouraged unions, just that once, to endorse Nixon though he would not. Those unions were private sector for the most part. Today, labor is run by the very different likes of Richard Trumka. It is a different world but that has not yet occurred to many of my co-religionists.
6. We Catholics do have a social hair trigger in our DNA but an increasing number of us are belatedly willing to concede that we have been well treated in what has always been the essentially Protestant USA.
7. Have you ever seen a comment from me (in recent years at least) on threads dealing with Reformed clergy (especially conservatively inclined ones) in embarrassing circumstances? It is simply none of my business. I privately encourage my Catholic friends that it is none of theirs either. If you are touchy about this sort of thing, so are many of us.
8. You also, IIRC, make the same mistake as the LSM in not distinguishing between apostates brought up to be Catholic (however poorly catechized) and those of us who attend Mass and receive the sacrament of Holy Eucharist at least weekly. The latter group is a lot more Republican and conservative group than you imagine but still equipped with a hair trigger.
All that, for what, I don’t know.
You seem to be interested in something from some other thread, some baggage that you drag around about individual posters, even though freerepublic asks members not to do that.
