The KKK was Democrat like the Catholics, making personal attacks on someone for making conservatives aware of the pro-life/pro-abortion vote is uncalled for, especially since this is a conservative political site.
Rather than defending Catholic abortion voters, and fighting nastily to keep their voting hidden from view of pro-lifers, try to figure out a way to change it, if you care.
The KKK and the GOP teamed up in Oregon to pass the ultimate anti Catholic law - banning Catholic schools.
In that election, voters also supported a Klan-endorsed initiative that effectively outlawed private and parochial schools.
In less than two years, the Klan recruited 14,000 members in Oregon, giving it perhaps the highest per-capita membership in the country. And in the 1922 election, it succeeded in unseating Congressman Clifton McArthur and Olcott, and electing a new governor, two Multnomah County commissioners and a slate of state legislators. It also helped pass a nationally notorious initiative aimed at putting Catholic schools out of business.Not ALL GOP types are bigots or supported the KKK, but the anti-immigrant, anti Catholic bigots tainted the GOP then - and now - to the point that many of us still view the GOP with suspicion.
” making personal attacks on someone for making conservatives aware of the pro-life/pro-abortion vote is uncalled for, especially since this is a conservative political site.”
Spewing bigotry and spamming Catholic threads with your one sided and false to fact bigotry is uncalled for, especially since this is a conservative political site.
Of course we're changing it -- but the ordinary guy on the street sees two choices -- one the GOP, which seems filled with folks like yours who keep saying "all caflicks bad, bad, bad." and the dims who actually DO believe this, but go coasting on their past attitudes (50s).
We are changing this, but if we keep having examples such as the many on FR who call catholics the worst kind of names, then the choice seems to be between a rock and a hard place
You want us to change this? Then stop being a bad advertisement for the democrat's demonisation of the GOP
the GOP is not racist, not Anti-Catholic, but the many freepers who portray it like so by their actions and words are damaging the party. Stop it.
