In death, Democrat causes a party stir ["Catholic" Texan leaves $1.9 MILLION to 'Rats]

At her Dallas church, Monsignor Donald Zimmerman said the records show that Hughes' funeral was at the church and that he administered last rites. The records list no next of kin.

As far as I can tell, Monsignor Donald Zimmerman is a priest at Christ the King Catholic Church in Dallas.

If there's any truth whatsoever to all this Christianity stuff, I guess Muss Hughes will discover what God thinks of people who finance the advocates of the murder of His children in the wombs of said childrens' mothers...

[SlickWillard]

"Muss Hughes" = "Miss Hughes".

[dead]

Hughes not only left nothing to heirs, but directed Carlock "to use every effort, and any of my estate, to see that this will is upheld."

"She, for whatever reason, had obviously become estranged through the years from her family and did not want them to know it,"

"I do not know why Ms. Hughes was so loyal to the Democratic Party

Unable to legally kill her own hated family, she wants to insure that others have the opportunity she lacked.

[anniegetyourgun]

I'm sure she now knows the error of her ways.

[ambrose]

So will people who donate money to the Republican Party also go to hell since that money is disbursed to pro-choice Republicans?

[SlickWillard]

Unable to legally kill her own hated family, she wants to insure that others have the opportunity she lacked.

As I read the article, I was thinking along the same lines. You can't understand socialism [in any of its incarnations - German Naziism, Russian Bolshevism, Chinese Maoism, American Roe-v-Wade-ism] without examining the hatred that fuels it.

People don't like to hear this, but the fundamental reason socialists support abortion is precisely because it is the murder of a human being. All that crap about "Womyn" and their educations and their careers and their sexual freedom is just a pile of socialist propaganda.

[SlickWillard]

So will people who donate money to the Republican Party also go to hell since that money is disbursed to pro-choice Republicans?

Excellent question. Of course, you're talking to someone who, for precisely that reason, hasn't voted for a Republican in many years, and is no longer registered to vote: I un-registered the day after Dubyah betrayed us on ESCR, and, prior to that, I didn't vote for him in 2000 because I knew he would betray us.

Scratch a Bush [Senior, Babs, Laura, now Dubyah himself], get a pro-abort.

[newgeezer]

ESCR

?

[HumanaeVitae]

Good point, although the GOP in general is pro-life and the DNC in general is pro-choice.

It's not surprising that a Catholic of her generation would be a die-hard Democrat. Not surprising at all...

[newgeezer]

OH, the fetal tissue research thing?

Half of $1.9 million would mean the state party is due another $500,000 or so, but lawyers handling the estate say the bottom line took a big hit from declining stock prices and Hughes' lack of interest in reducing the estate tax burden.

"Her attitude was that this country was good to her, and she didn't worry about paying taxes," said David Curtis, the Dallas lawyer who prepared the will. Curtis said the estate's bottom line wound up being "considerably" less than $1.9 million. Dallas lawyer David Carlock, the estate's executor, said that "the majority of it has been disbursed."

Carlock said the federal estate tax took $300,000 to $400,000.

The Rats got hoisted by their own petard on that one.

[ConservativeDude]

GOP majorities further, even if only marginally, policies that promote life. Sometimes those majorities include members of whatever body who are not pro life. This is an unfortunate reality of political life.

If you vote Democrat, even if you vote for a particular pro-life Democrat (can't think of any at the moment), you are furthering the cause of death, b/c the D's are squarely in that camp.

If you believe in life, you must vote Republican. In a general election, between pro-abortion GOP and pro-abortion D, you must still vote GOP.

[lone star annie]

This woman sounds like a typical miserable Democrat who wallowed in her misery. She did not do any great gestures IMHO. Notice she changed the will because those mean ol GOP were going to impeach her beloved.

[stevio]

How'd she make so much money working for a gas company? Or a better question, where do I apply?

[Texas_Jarhead]

old folks don't tend to know about the present state of the RAT party.

[SlickWillard]

It's not surprising that a Catholic of her generation would be a die-hard Democrat. Not surprising at all...

But why? The Democrats have been the party of irreligion since time immemorial, just as the GOP has been the party of religion since its inception [the two unifying planks of the original GOP were religion-based opposition to slavery and religion-based opposition to the Mormons' practice of polygamy]. She has to have known this.

Maybe the author of the story was mistaken, and she was given a Catholic funeral as an accident, something like this: The morgue found itself with a Jane Doe pauper on its hands, and it was the Catholics' turn to do the pauper funeral, only it turned out that Jane Doe wasn't such a pauper after all.

If there are any Dallas Freepers who are familiar with the case, I'd be interested to know.

[SlickWillard]

But for the entire twentieth century, and, depending on your view of Thomas Jefferson, going back to its founding, the Democrat Party has been the party of irreligion.

[stevio]

Notice she changed the will because those mean ol GOP were going to impeach her beloved.

Where does it say that?

[Texas_Jarhead]

Well I can can tell you coming from Southern & religious families whose older folks were/are all dimocRATs that they never perceived the party as such. I believe that rural party organs are still not that way.

[Teacher317]

the lawyers got at least that much
