Obama vs. the Little Sisters: Waivers for Unions but not for the Nuns

National Review ^ | 01/07/2014 | Rich Lowry

I am on the side of the nuns.

However, I have one question to ask them and the voting Catholics in America.

How many of you voted for Obama at least twice and helped him by reelecting pro abortion $inators and Congre$$its like Pelosi and Reid?

Not enough coffee this morning I guess

Jesus aid it

It’s one of the Beatitudes

[stanne]

I have omre answer for you

You can hate catholics all you want and with bigotry common here not listen to what i have to say, but what I am going to say is true:

46% of Catholics did not vote for Obama. That’s a lot more than Freepers ever give credit to.

George Weigel says there is no Catholic vote. Catholics do not vote in a bloc. His view is that there is a practicing religious bloc. In that case, these nuns could use support, as 46% of Catholics who did not vote for Romney, including, likely, these practicing religious habit wearing nuns could use support and not anti catholic bigotry at the moment

And before you spread any more of it, why don’t you ask them directly. Their home base is in Denver

You are wasting your time asking Catholics who voted for Obama why they did it. You may as well ask them why they identify themselves as Catholic.

The answer is always the same: “I was born a Catholic, and I as born a Democrat” Amen.

Unfortunately they are not practicing Catholics and only know they were baptized. Since Democrats continue to give away goodies to them they think they are good Christians to vote for the Dems.

OK, OK! I actually do know an elderly couple at my parish who are daily Mass goes. They are staunch Democrats, and would “never think to vote for a Republican.” So, my above statement is only half true. I do stand by my belief that they are born Catholic and Democrat - and they think the two are the same.

In Christianity, the Beatitudes are the set of teachings by Jesus that begin "Blessed are...", and appear in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. The term beatitude comes from the Latin adjective beātitūdō which means "happy", "fortunate", or "blissful".[1][2][3] In the Vulgate (Latin), the book of Mathew titles this section Beatitudines, and "Beatitudes" was anglicized from that term. The Beatitudes describe eight blessings in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatitudes ______________________________________________________________ It's recorded in Matthew... but you're right, it's from the Sermon on the Mount... Thanks for the clarification.

I like Charlie Daniels - glad he’s with us.

Happy, fortunate and blissful are those nuns.

BO will continue to be baffled by them.

Baffled are the power hungry, I guess.
