BizPac Review ^

Posted on 06/19/2013 11:58:57 AM PDT by Blue Turtle

One can only assume muslim schools do not divide?

These people have been killing each other for centuries simply because of the transition of historical leadership to be either one guy or his uncle.

Its a question of his innate stupidity vs his innate arrogance.

Does he actually think that the homosexual support he’s courting will outweigh the Catholics he’s infuriating?

Hey, Barry, you Do know that there are an awful lot more Catholics than there are atheist homosexuals, don’t you?

After five years of it, I’m not surprised by anything this idiot says.

Neither did I, and I don’t know any Catholics here who did-the parish priest even made disapproval clear...

Obama received 53 percent of the catholic vote in 08. I believe it was less in 2012. Hardly overwhelming.

Obama wants nothing less than the total destruction of the Catholic Church any which way it can be achieved....He may destroy the USA but he will not prevail against the church.

Yes, and if Protestants continue to attack us Catholics instead of standing together against the same foe, we will both lose.

I didn't vote for him either. He's an idiot who has no clue about Catholic education and its influence on western civilization.

I wonder if he'll say the same thing about Islam? I am guessing not.

He doesn’t dare say it here so he goes out of country to spew some venom. I’d love to hear him give that little speech in Belfast. :-)
