Clinton Camp Emails are an Affront to Catholics (and all faiths)
Jewish World Review ^ | October 16, 2016 | Christine M. Flowers

Posted on 10/16/2016 3:17:53 PM PDT by Beautiful_Gracious_Skies

My father's mother was a diehard Democrat. If Ted Bundy and Charles Manson were running on a ticket touting women's rights, they'd have her vote as long as they weren't Republicans. Elsie was the kind of partisan who was incapable of seeing beyond the edges of her voter registration card. I'm sure she's still planning to support Hillary Clinton, assuming she can find the polling place nearest to her plot at Holy Cross Cemetery.

Elsie was not alone in her unique, single-minded devotion. Many people are incapable of deviating from lifelong loyalties and biases and go to their graves rejecting, anything the other side has to say on any topic of significance.....

I never thought I was that kind of voter. I was a registered Democrat.. until I changed my registration... to vote for John Kasich in the Pennsylvania primary.

But I recently realized that there is one thing that I cannot compromise, ... my dignity. I will not vote for someone who shows a lack of respect for my principles, my values, my most intimate beliefs. She doesn't need to share them, necessarily. But she cannot show, either through her own actions or by proxy through those who keep her counsel, that she treats them like gum at the bottom of an orthopedic shoe......

..... the emails were indicative of some very vile biases on the left that have been allowed to fester in the darkness, because bringing them into the open would lose the Democrats some key votes.... the support of those Catholics on the fence who were blue-collar, simple folk who loved both the social safety net and unborn babies.

Now, all bets are off.

Unless Clinton disavows the sentiment behind those emails, she is showing very clearly how much value she places on Catholic dignity: none.

Christine Flowers is an entertaining and clever writer. Disrespecting and ridiculing Catholic and other Christian values will hurt Clinton.

I’m not a Catholic, and her words were very offensive to me.

That woman has a lot of nerve judging other people.

I doubt it. Disrespecting and ridiculing Catholics and other Christian values will not hurt her because most of them are brainwashed and have a burning desire to vote the first “woman” for President even if she is Satan reincarnate!

Truly, when politicians start trying to undermine religious organizations, it’s the politicians that need to be underminded. Hats off to wikileaks. (And the Russians if they are really involved.)

Clinton trashed Catholics in one of her eMails.

She referred to them in a derogatory manner.

I was not addressing the writer of this article.

I was addressing Clinton.

Has the Pope responded to this? How about the Black and Hispanic Christians? I hope all Christians wake up and realize the danger we are in with the Democrats in power.

Someone asked to share this thought so here it is:

My friend and one-time fellow pastor, Dalton Douglas, shares some powerful thoughts concerning Donald Trump: "I've heard too many say lately that we, the American people have no choice in this November election! Do you really think that God would leave us with no choice? Come on people! Where's your faith? He has heard our cries!

In defense of Donald Trump: Try to keep this in mind,
Donald Trump did not steal your money.
Donald Trump did not raise your taxes.
Donald Trump did not quadruple the price of food.
Donald Trump is not starting a race war.
Donald Trump did not leave any US soldiers in Benghazi to be slaughtered and desecrated by Muslims.
Donald Trump did not send the US Navy to fight for Syrian Al-Qaeda.

Donald Trump did not arm ISIS and systematically exterminate Christians throughout the Middle East.
Donald Trump did not betray Israel.
Donald Trump did not provide financing and technology to Iran's nuclear weapons program.
Donald Trump did not give our military secrets to China.

Donald Trump did not remove our nuclear missile shield in Poland at the behest of Russia.
Donald Trump did not shrivel our military, and betray our veterans.

Donald Trump did not cripple our economy.
Donald Trump did not increase our debt to 20 trillion dollars.
Donald Trump did not ruin our credit, twice.
Donald Trump did not double African American unemployment.

Donald Trump did not increase welfare to a record level for eight years.
Donald Trump did not sign a law making it legal to execute and imprison Americans.
Donald Trump did not set free all of terrorists in Guantanamo bay.
Donald Trump did not steal your rights, violate US Constitutional law, or commit treason hundreds of times.

Yet Trump is being ripped apart in the news, nonstop. Barrack Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton and the criminals occupying our government, are not.
The media is the Democratic Party; save our culture. Stop listening to them! Please share!

They didn't notice in the last two elections.

Author seems superficial. Any Catholic who knows the faith knows that pro-life, pro-family and pro-religious freedom are non-negotiables and must be the first phase of analysis in forming a Catholic conscience about a candidate. Trump is so much better than Clinton on those issues, he is the only moral choice.

P.S. two masses this week at my parish
are being offered for Donald Trump. Other Catholics on FR should try to get this going all over the country.
