we can’t ignore the INCREASE in the Hispanic population in the USA. This is a Demographic that everyone knows will occupy a significant percentage of our population ( both legal and illegal ). Our future will depend on the IDEOLOGY of this segment of our population.... will they become more conservative or liberal? The future of this nation is tied to the answer to this question.

The future will depend on their religion, on whether they become Protestant, or stay Catholic.

When they become Protestant, they also become conservative, and vote Republican.

Even in 2008 against the Obama, racial, anti-white, group identity, election Tsunami, the Protestant Hispanics still supported McCain/Palin by 48%, in 2004, they went 56% Republican.

I’m not sure if I see the connection between staying Catholic and being liberal.

The Roman Catholic church is opposed to a lot of liberal agendas — Abortion, Gay Marriage, Sex education for kids, etc.

The problem as I see it is these Catholics by birth IGNORE their church’s teachings.

Possibly because they become evangelical or pentacostal Protestants and those who make the converts have been conservative. Whether it will stay like that remains to be seen. Mainstream Protestants and younger Evangelicals don't always stay with the Republicans, and that may be true of the children of Hispanic converts to Protestantism as well.
