He is a conservative and his views were consistent with just war theory.
Is it his style that got him banned? Or are we forbidden to take issue with President Bush over the war plans involving Iraq and other nations?
I do not understand this banning at all, especially when other Freepers are allowed to roam the threads with endless anti-Catholic invective.
FWIW, I don't agree with his view of Pres. Bush, but I don't think someone should be banned for holding that view.
I am really against this war as well. I don't think it fits the bill as a "just" war, and, what's more, Bush's not closing the borders and expelling illegals tells me WE AREN'T IN IT TO WIN! (Just like Viet Nam)
Bush needs to be careful invoking God as he has. A country that sees abortion as a "civil right" has no claim to its essential goodness. We are warned against tempting God. And every day we are slipping more and more into godlessness--no, paganism.
After this last State of the Union address how can anyone call Bush a conservative? With one hand he called for tax cuts and with 10 others he called for spending increases. BTW, did you know that if Medicare picks up the tab for meds, that will include Viagra?
This man is a one-termer, and we are on the road to destruction.
We voted him in as the anti-Clinton, and in many ways he has turned out to be one and the same policy-wise.
This Forum as well as certain of its moderators (and possibly Jim Robinson himself?) have an unapologetic anti-Catholic bigoted bias.
CatholicGuy's banning is further proof of the same.
They will tolerate any sort of anti-Catholic bigotry, leave the most vile anti-Catholic reports in the News forum/Breaking News sections, and banish anything in which Catholicism is seen in a positive light to the Religion Forum ghetto, but they draw the line when us Papists get uppity.
There's a reason this Forum has such a bigoted anti-Catholic bias:
Jim Robinson permits it at best, and at worst actively fosters it by letting certain of his bigoted moderators get away with their anti-Catholic censorship.
I have consistently contributed to this Forum since I joined up, and I have consistently encouraged my Catholic peers here to do likewise.
I cannot however in good conscience continue to support, or encourage others to support, an organization with such an openly enforced bigoted anti-Catholic bias.
Jim Robinson, you should be ashamed of yourself for allowing this bigoted anti-Catholic censorship on your Forum. You're a good guy. You should know better. You should do better. Reign in your bigoted anti-Catholic moderators.
If they are simply doing your will in carrying out an active anti-Catholic bias and censorship, then just say so.
Pope John Paul II is opposed to this war.
If he was a FReeper and outlined his objections to Bush's plans here, Jim Robinson would ban him too.
Yes, we are forbidden. Especially if we're uppity Papists.
Mark my words: Bush engaging this war, wrapped in the mantle of the Christian nation with a mandate from God will be the destruction of this country.
There is no place in scriptural prophecy for America. It will either be annihilated or relegated to third world insignificance before the End Times. It has no role to play in the end.
This war will be the beginning of the transformation of America into third world insignificance.
And Bush's belief in his Divine Mandate, while running a country that is the greatest disseminator of the culture of death on the globe, will be the final sacrilege that leads to our destruction.
Frankly, let Bush go to it.
This country deserves its chastisement.
And it is coming.
And this Forum has fallen into irrelevancy by their censorship. The Catholic Caucus would do well in disengaging from it.
Comparing George W. Bush to Hitler, calling him a "Chiliastic cretin," "dumb," and questioning Bush's integrity and motives for going to war with Iraq will usually get somebody banned around here.
CG's vitriol towards Bush surprised me, as he has managed to keep a lid on his anger as far as the Church and trads are concerned. Apparently, he's a libertarian Buchananite peacenik who would have us sit back and get taken out by terrorists or dictators. Even the action to take out the Taliban was an "unjust war," in his opinion.
He doesn't belong here, at least not politically.

I like you Siobhan, but why does it usually have to come down to accusing people of anti-Catholicism?
