1. There are a lot of ignorant, uninformed & misinformed people on the planet.
We seem to have more than our fair share, but we're kinda stuck with them. :shrug:

2. Hard to believe.
I've never ever been to a political Easter Mass and I'm 52.

4. Obama took 54% of the Catholic vote. More than Kerry.

It's good to go to these events armed.

6. It's very much like South Park. They think it's an insult.

Cartman: Kyle, you're not a Jew.

Kyle: Yes, yes I am.

Cartman: No! Don't be so hard on yourself.



Cartman thinks Jew is an insult, and has no idea what it really means.

Same thing with these idiots that think that Muslim (or gay) (or poor) (or...) is an insult.

It drives me crazy. This country is in the condition it's in because of people voting against their needs and voting for the wrong reasons.

23. This kind of thing happens to a country
when they start to celebrate ignorance. Look around at the countrified comedians that extol the virtue of being an ignorant redneck.

9. The Catholic Vote is not monolithic.Conservatives come in all
shapes and sizes and do not vote for Democrats as a rule.

All Catholics are not Conservative, thank God.

13. "And My Monsignor Agrees" - A Joke?
I'm not Catholic. I have studied the Catholic Church for a long time, although I defer to anyone who knows the inner workings better than me.

But isn't a monsignor just a supervising parish priest? Isn't that like saying "the senior pastor at my church thinks" Obama is a Muslim.

With all due respect, who cares a rat's behind what some loser middle-management priest thinks about Obama's religious affiliation? Most Catholics ignore the existence or occurrence of the Protestant Reformation, for God's sake.

14. so typical of her
to name drop a title that means nothing. She drives a fecking rolls and loves to do the McDonald's drive thru to get a reaction. Has to work now and took second on her mansion as no buyers and lost big time in stock market..but hates on Obama. I'm going to end up supporting her ass but not at that lifestyle. Think this is typical of the rich who lost their assets? Hating on anyone but themselves (she is real estate broker but blames Fannie and Freddie of course) grrrr.. sorry..venting again

15. She Sounds Like a Piece of Work
It's generally a sign of insecurity to try to "up the voltage" on one's own opinion by putting it into the mouth of someone with more status.

If one does not grant the Monsignor any more status than one would a senior minister in a Protestant Church, then sweetie's little potshot lacks both substance and credibility.

And Goodness! the Rolls? Sounds like goodness had nothin' to do with it.

18. I thought Newt converted so he could marry
his 3rd (or is it 4th) wife in the Catholic church

none of the other non-Catholic marriages "count"

17. To your mom-in-law: "Your monsignor is a douche-hat...
... and rational Americans agree. And your Pope is an ex-Hitler Youth, so nyaaa-nya-nya-nyaaa-nyaaah!"
