Thanks for answering, but I don’t buy your point for a minute. Not in the broad terms you are brushing people with. There simply isn’t the consistiency in your examples to sustain your theory. Sometimes true, sometimes not.

BTW, I am a “Hispanic Catholic” and I can attest to the opposite of your broad brush assertion about us.

Then you're not reading what I wrote. I didn't say Hispanic Catholics are uniformly liberals and caucasian Catholics are all conservative. What I said I was GENERALLY speaking, non-hispanic Catholics TEND to LEAN conservative, and hispanic-Catholics TEND to LEAN liberal. Their countries of origin and their voting patterns in the United States reflect this. Obviously, there are NUMEROUS exceptions to this general rule. Nobody would claim Ted Kennedy is right-wing or Augusto Pinochet was a socialist, for example.
