WHAT DID YOU EXPECT ? This address to the Irish might make it to the national scene but our media will sit on it.
The Democrat party after taking complete control even since losing the House had the word and any reference to GOD was removed at their 2012 national convention. A fact that went un-noticed and un-touched by the RINOS and GOPES (GOP elite snobs) who are running todays Republican party.

Even after reconsideration the decision was derided by the majority because it was re-installed over a majority voice vote supporting the removal.

If this were a political party in a parlimentary system it would be hyphenated and would (and should despite the difference) be refered to as the Demo-Com party. But the RINOS and GOPES can’t even call them “socialist”.

Any Catholic or Christian claiming to belong to this party is a hyprocrite and should be confronted with disgust and distain and isloated like the lepers they are.

No, religious schools (at least Christian religious schools) teach love for God and love for all of His created creatures.

You’re confusing Christian religious schools with your Muslim religious schools...

Ok, so basically he’s saying that Catholics stay all cloistered in their schools and don’t integrate with others.

Obama's main job is to travel around reading rabble-rousing speeches written by his racist speechwriters who display very little knowledge about their subject matter.
They load his speeches with half-truths, manufactured statistics, imaginary stereotypes, dog-whistles and racist dribble, calculated to keep the fires of resentment and hatred stoked and burning.

As the old adage goes: "It's not that Obama doesn't know anything, It's that everything he knows is wrong."

The irony is that in America, Catholic schools have increasingly accepted non-Catholic, minority and immigrant students, usually with reduced tuition or no tuition at all.

Today, the local Catholic school probably has almost as many blacks and non-catholic students as Caucasian catholics.

do ivy league prep schools also do the same Mr fairy pants as I seem to recall you stopped vouchers, you send your kids to a nice expensive school and you certainly did not go with out either based on your politics and being not all white.

Mr. Obama - does this reasoning apply to madrassas as well?

Presumably not.

According to the liberal mindset, Christianity is inherently divisive; whereas Islam is the religion of peace...

Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity — symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others — these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it. If towns remain divided — if Catholics have their schools and buildings, and Protestants have theirs — if we can’t see ourselves in one another, if fear or resentment are allowed to harden, that encourages division. It discourages cooperation.

The Founders had a different idea, Barack. They believed in free exercise of religion, in free speech, and government NON-involvement in that area at all. They wanted bitter, control freaks like you to just shut up.

They figured a nation of adults could remain far freer by just letting everyone speak their mind and listens just having to put up with it, than having a government come along and tell everyone how to think about and practice their religion.

It is Obama who is here advocating government telling Catholics and Protestants how to run their religion, and not Catholics and Protestants telling each other. And their problems come straight out of an era when the British government was the Big Brother insisting that religion be done their way.

What this means for us is what we already know: Obama doesn't have a clue what the first amendment means, and he really seems to have Christianity stuck in his craw.

"FROM THE MOST RECENT ARMY SLIDE PRESENTATION"

"Extremist Organizations: A group which advocates the use of force or violence"

As there are no qualifiers as to motivation or purpose that category, by definitiion, would include the US Government, most of its 3 letter bureaucracies (ATF, IRS etc.) the entire US military and every SWAT team in the nation.

Obama: Religious schools encourage division

And multiplication, and higher math, and reading and writing, and history, and all the other basics that public education used to encourage before the hippies took over.

RE: What group of shitheads put those slides together?

SOURCE:

http://www.christianpost.com/news/evangelical-christianity-catholicism-labeled-extremist-in-army-presentation-93353/

EXCERPT:

A U.S. Army Reserve Equal Opportunity training brief describes “Evangelical Christianity” and “Catholicism” as examples of “religious extremism,” according to the Archdiocese for the Military Services and the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty, who shared a copy of the documents with The Christian Post.

“The number of hate groups, extremists and anti-govt organizations in the U.S. has continued to grow over the past three years, according to reports by the Southern Poverty Law Center. They increased to 1,018 in 2011, up from 1,002 in 2010 and 602 in 2000,” reads the first page of the slide presentation labeled “Extremism & Extremist Organizations.”

Listed alongside “extremist” groups and organizations like the Klu Klux Klan and al-Qaida, the U.S. Army slideshow has “Evangelical Christianity” as the first bullet, followed by the Muslim Brotherhood, Ultra-Orthodox Judaism and farther down on the slide, Catholicism.

According to the training documents, “Extremism is a complex phenomenon” that is present in every religion due to “some followers that believe that their beliefs, customs and traditions are the only ‘right way’ and that all others are practicing their faith the ‘wrong way,’ seeing and believing that their faith/religion superior to all others.”

My jaw dropped when I read Obama’s comments about Catholic schools creating divisiveness. Does he even understand that one does not have to be Catholic to attend a Catholic school? The Catholic schools have saved numerous students from the urban decay called public education, and to want to throw these kids into the waste land created by the teachers’ unions in a misguided attempt to cleanse the culture of all religious differences is something I’d expect to hear out of Joseph Stalin or Pol Pot or Mao Tse-tung.

Obama never ceases to amaze me.
