Steve Bannon blasts the Catholic Church over its DACA position.

[pnwmom]

People like Bannon and the KKK have hated other waves of Catholic immigrants, too -- like the Irish.

But if he ever read the Bible he'd know that caring for the stranger and the alien is a basic tenet of Christianity and Judaism. There are many passages like this one, in the Old Testament and the New:

Leviticus 19:33-34
'When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. 'The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt; I am the LORD your God.

President Donald Trump's controversial former chief strategist Steve Bannon attacked the Catholic Church over a cardinal's criticism of the administration's plan to end the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which defers deportation of unauthorized residents who were brought to the United States as children.

In an interview with CBS' "60 Minutes," Bannon said Catholic bishops went public with their disapproval only because the church has an ulterior motive, which he described as encouraging illegal immigration.

"The Catholic Church has been terrible about this," he said in a clip of the interview that aired today on "CBS This Morning."

"They need illegal aliens to fill the churches. It's obvious on the face of it. That's what the entire Catholic bishops [are] condemning. They have an economic interest in unlimited immigration, unlimited illegal immigration."

His criticism follows a charge this week by Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York that terminating DACA "is certainly not Christian, and I would contend it's not American."

1. Bannon is practically the Antichrist.

This is no big surprise. He's an odious thing.

5. Practically the Antichrist?!

Bannon is Satan incarnate! In other words, he IS the Antichrist!

7. As awful as he is, I'm figuring there is someone worse,

like the people his vile crap enriches financially at the cost of desperate others.

2. Bannon does this crap for sport, who knows what his real feelings are about anything, or if he has

any actual feelings. I don't understand why anyone would pay attention to the bastard, or why this is news.

3. Typical RW radio or internet nonsense

4. Yeah, but he's he publisher of Breitbart. He has a large and influential platform. n/t

6. Bannon wants to take over Rump's angry populist base. He might.

After all, they, incredibly, bought Rump. And populists can be lead almost anywhere by the ring in their noses their resentment against "establishment" provides.

Give that type a necessarily charismatic demagogue spouting the resentful, anti-establishment noise they want to hear, and they will literally readjust their previous "ideology" to support whatever their new leader calls for. At this point he's claiming he will continue Rump's original dream. Uhuh.

It really wouldn't matter to them that Bannon has expressed admiration of many fascist and fascist leaning authors, or that he seems to love chaos and destruction and plans to build his new antisecular, antiliberal, nationalist authoritarian state on our republic's ruins.

He probably can't pull it off, hopefully will just divide the right more. But many on the right are perilously close to adopting and fighting to establish fascist government as it is. Most have no idea what it is but do know that it's a bad word and that we're the fascists who must be stopped. They may not know much, but they know that.
