As a Catholic, who has Italian-heritage extended family I was trying to make a subtle point.
That is that as much as this administration seems to enjoy using mob/mafia/thug tactic there are those that are better at it than this crowd.
And the original mafia, as murderous and criminal as they were, honored the Church and kept their ‘business’ out of it. It was line rarely crossed.
This group from the Washington/Ayers political line and trained in Rev. Wrights Church and Bill Ayers home seem to want to a pick a fight where they probably should not. They obviously do not understand that they may be crossing a line never crossed before with such an overtly direct attack on the Church.
I guess I'm a little sensitive to the Mafia/Catholic/Italian references. I've seen them used too freely by people who had an agenda to denigrate religion or to denigrate the Roman Catholic Church specifically. Of course, I knew before writing that Freepers could be assumed not to have that agenda and I wasn't trying to accuse you of that.
