Who would have ever dreamed that the pope would win a primary for Donald Trump â in South Carolina, of all places, the buckle of the Bible Belt.
Sure, Trump was probably going to prevail tomorrow anyway. But itâs over now, thanks to Pope Francis and his sanctimonious, tone-deaf statement that âa person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian.â Related Articles Pope Francis flap could boost Donald Trump in South Donald Trump blames Mexican govât for Pope Francisâ remarks Bernie Sanders goes on the defense while Hillary Clinton goes into attack mode
So much for 1 Corinthians 2:11: âOnly God knows the truth of a manâs heart.â
So much for James 4:12: âYou â who are you to judge your neighbor?â
Thereâs an old saying â Iâd rather be lucky than good. Donald Trump sure is lucky, and heâs even luckier in his choice of enemies. He now owes the pope a âMake America Great Again!â baseball cap. You could tell how happy Trump was yesterday morning as he announced the wonderful news to his first âtown hallâ of the day.
âThe pope?â he said, recounting his conversation with an aide. âOh good, did he say good things? ... No? ... I donât think youâre gonna like it so much.â
Yeah, right. Trump didnât like it, he loved it.
Letâs face it, a lot of born-agains still donât care all that much for the Catholic church. The popeâs PC harrumphing makes them think more kindly of Trump.
And even though there arenât all that many Catholics in the Palmetto State, Iâd bet most of them arenât all that crazy about this secular humanist who comes off like Al Gore whenever he starts spouting off about global warming, which is about three times a day.
Does the pope even understand that he lives in a community with 36-foot-high walls â walls built in the ninth century by Pope Leo IV to protect Vatican City from savage marauding Arabs who were raping, pillaging and looting their way across Europe. Sound familiar?
I’m sorry, Howie Carr is not a Conservative. He’s an entertainer. He does have a lot if influence but he’s been wrong for the last 15 years and he’s wrong again. Trump has the highest unfavorable ratings of any candidate. Those people will stay home on election day, write in another candidate or vote for the other party. Once again the so-called Conservative will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Mark my words.
Do you realize you just angered everyone in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with our profane insult? Be careful! Or you'll be excommunicated from the Holy Free Republic Church. |
So when someone asks the Pope about homosexuality he says famously “who am I to judge”. But when someone asks him about Donald Trump and illegal immigration, he does a good amount of judging. This guy the Pope ought to be tested for dementia.
