Results! Evangelicals
It was high, but to be fair Palin was on the ticket. I know a lot of Protestants who are PINOs who voted for marxist slavery and the destruction of all religion.
It is those who value someone else’s money over human life.
It appears to be an epidemic.
They are stupid as well as immoral.
They vote in the very ones that make them POOR.
Catholics simply don’t listen to their pontiffs much and disregard their instructions
where i grew up Catholics were usually more liberal than Southern Baptists, Southern Methodists, Presbyterians and Pentecostals
they seemed to just be going thru the motions more.....communion and some litrugies and out the door
it’s hard to get away that easy in a serious Southern conservative nomination....consternation is an eveready shadow
Catholics were like UCC and Episcopalians
maybe it’s that easy forgiveness for doing bad things you guys have in the confessional we serious Prods lack
we both have shame though, the Christian flip side to Jewish guilt and angst
i’m not surprised but it may be more about the race and ethnicity of catholics....latinos for example...than the religion(?)
To be fair, the crash has been caused by a Republican administration that fell in love with the weak dollar, and a Fed which allowed it to happen. The blame properly belongs to the Chaimen, but most people don’t understand that the Chairman of the Fed has more power over the economy than he does. Still he appointed a virtual Democrat, a trader whose seems to know little about wealth creation.
Now what can happen is that Obama made decide not to follow the strong dollar path taken by the previous administration but to adopt some mix that would allow a liberal Congress to have the goodies it wants. He’s got to adopt a moderate economic policy or disappoint a lot of liberals.
It looks like you forgot one “small” thing...the stupid social engenenering...you know, Freddie and Fannie and all the give aways. That kinda..sorta had something to do with Dems, dontcha think?
What happened to Catholics?
Ot’s an open thread. I don’t understand.
I read your post. It is a valid point. (All the repetive postings amount to what is called “Catholic Bashing” by the moderators. Yes, it [catholicbashing] is a keyword! LOL!)
That’s why I said I didn’t understand why your post was removed since it was posted on an open thread.
Sadlt, some don’t even realize that they are not being good Catholics, or good Christians (for my former Catholic friends). My girlfriends are all pro-choice. Shocking. They don’t understand the Church’s view, nor do they care, because religion has been presented as just another lifestyle, not the Way and the Truth.
Are you the RM?
I think we are all sinners. You are just humble enough to know it and say it. God bless you abundantly, FRiend.
