The mythical religious right that never seems to materialize at the polls is what I don't get. Time and again some people focus on the way Catholic voters split and claim some other group never splits and are always perfect Conservatives. The fact is, though, when half of a group doesn't bother to even vote, those who sit out elections are doing even more damage than Catholics who pretty much cancel one another out except for a small percentage gain for the democrat thugs.
When it's all said and done, it seems to me that all the singling out of Catholics and others serves to keep pro-life, pro-Christian values, voters from uniting to be a force within the GOP just as much if not more than it aids the democrat fascists.
Any collection of 64 million anything is not going to be a monolithic block, let alone Catholics. What they have done is to try to impose a Protestant value system on the Church and then bitch about the Church and Catholics not conforming to it. Catholics are Catholics first, Americans second and Republicans or Democrats a distant third. We serve our country best by serving God first and we are not beholding to any earthly power.
What to me is so disingenuous is the attempt to use bad statistical practices to paint the all Catholics as somehow culpable of the actions of those who are demonstrably not in communion with the Church. Making it even worse is the notion that a person who leaves the Church to become a member of a Protestant denomination loses their Catholic identity, but those who leave to become secular humanists do not. Those doing it are real life examples of the Pharisee and the Tax collector.
Peace be with you
Evangelicals voted republican by 79%, an astounding figure.
They aren’t the problem, the left wing voters are.
Where does this idea come from, that there is a "mythical Christian Right", out of which "half didn't bother to vote" in this election? I've heard this three or four times today.
