He’s fighting back.

To use a baseball analogy; do you try to hit a homerun every single time? Or do you bunt sometimes, try for a single, maybe steal a base here and there.

Incrementalism works. Conservatives need to stop criticizing and get on board before our country is completely destroyed.

I agree with you about incrementalism. The Constitution-ignoring Progressive Movement has used it very effectively.

But is Donohue's incrementalism calculated based on his knowledge of the Scriptures? Or is he approaching this issue emotionally as a consequence of his ignorance of key passages in the Scriptures, ultimately wasting everybody's time?

Thank you for your patience with this discussion.

Note this other thread where Catholics are fighting back concerning a different issue.

FR: Catholics mount legal challenge to Obamacare

The problem with their approach to fighting constitutionally indefensible Obamacare Democratcare, possibly reflecting Catholic Donohue's Don Quixote approach to fighting homosexuality in this thread, is the following.

Reflecting their ignorance of the federal government's constitutionally limited powers, Catholics are ineffectively fighting Democratcare by arguing federal government definitions of religious employer and also exemptions for the elite.

In other words, as a consequence of their parents not making sure that their children were taught about the federal government's constitutionally limited powers, you won't see them stopping Democratcare dead in its tracks by arguing the following single-line Supreme Court clarifications about the constitutionality of federal public healthcare programs.

Regardless what activist justices want everybody to think about the constitutionality of Democratcare, these official clarifications show that the states have never delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for public healthcare purposes.

”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. (emphases added)” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

Again, is Bill Donohue taking the Don Quixote approach to fighting homosexuality as a consequence of his possible ignorance of key scriptural passages, just like other Catholics are taking that approach, imo, to fighting Democratcare as a consequence of their likely ignorance of the federal government's constitutionally limited powers?
