Thanks for the post.

Maybe it will calm down some folks.

What’s surprising is how surprised many of these people are who consistently vote for Democrats.

This is what I recall from the case. I agree they did it to themselves.

Hey, hey!
They’re the smartest people in the western hemisphere...!

If you don’t believe me, just ask ‘em.

You think Massachusetts Republicans are any better? Think again. The party apparatus will actively primary any conservative with the temerity to run and they're careful to blackball any conservative who shows an interest in becoming part of the state party apparatus.

40 years ago, the local Dems were at least anti-abortion (though too many to preserve their status within the party were sucked left), but the state GOP was only too happy with it. Northeast (a/k/a Rockefeller) Republicans have been social liberal probably since shortly after Coolidge was governor.

Your link goes to a hoax thread.

Moderator should have pulled the thread.
Eric Blair originally penned 1984 as fiction.

They could still require that non-Catholic teachers teach Catholic doctrine, on pain of being fired. The boss still is able to tell the employees what they have to do.

Details, details. Why include THAT "little" fact and tell TRUTHS?

:o)

There’s a difference between students and faculty, which apparently escapes some people.

You’re absolutely right! Many Republicans these days are nothing more than closet Democrats.

Here in NJ the state is driving the Catholic Church out of the public sphere using different methods. In healthcare the requirement to treat people in ERs regardless of means to pay, while constantly reducing the reimbursement for said care, has closed hospitals; burdening taxpayers with ridiculously high school taxes has deprived them of the means to afford a Catholic education, so the Catholic schools close.

When people think the Catholic hierarchy is in bed with government because of the money it receives, I don’t see that happening in NJ; the education and healthcare infrastructure built by our Catholic forefathers is disappearing quickly.

Having lived for a time in that part of the world, maryz is right -- voting Republican in Mass accomplishes nothing. It's de facto a one party state.

The best thing for a freedom loving Christian in Massachusetts to do is to hire a moving van.
