“Jimmy Carter = Blind Faithful Democrat” totally true, and the only other thing I can say here is, Hurray for John Lennon supporting Reagan over Carter in 1980! (In his later years, Lennon grew more conservative, to the point that he thought Carter was a schiester even as president and was frustrated that he couldn’t vote for Reagan because he still wasn’t a full US citizen. Lennon and Reagan did get to meet at a baseball game and had a heck of a time swapping jokes)

Off topic-I think that’s the book that mentions whining so much, that is actually what you become, one big whine. I can’t remember it exactly, but it made an impression on my husband and me to remember to count our blessings….love CS Lewis

You are actually one of a very small percentage of Democrats who profess to be pro-life, according to statistics. I happened to see Dr. Stephen Schneck, board member of Democrats for Life and director of
the Institute for Policy Research & Catholic Studies at Catholic
University of America, being interviewed by Raymond Orroyo on EWTN (that is a cable channel with Catholic programming if you are not familiar). Well, let me put it this way, poor Mr. Schneck had some talking points that didn’t quite hold up when the light of truth shone upon them. Especially the gem about how budget cuts will cause there to be even more abortions. He could present no evidence to uphold this claim, but, he kept right on pushing it even in the face of a persistent request for facts from Orroyo. You seem really serious about your outrage and your desire to “change the party’s outlook”, but where you may experience a bit of a problem is that your party has no desire to change their march toward a secular society with an absence of any Judeo-Christian values. Good luck.

Frank, you are so full of…rhetoric. But, in answer to your question “how long can a Church that opposes democracy coexist with a democratic state?”, annnnnddd the survey says,
OVER TWO THOUSAND YEARS. End story. PS – bah bah baaahhhhhh

As usual, Frank, you are pretending to be the objective person after having made an outrageous claim–in this case, that it is “oppression” to deny gay people (who already have the right to do everything to each other that same-sex marriage allegedly gives them) privileges like the tax break of “married, filing jointly” that the US Circuit Court of Appeal in Boston wanted to give them in a May decision.

Now that this article is no longer on the front page of Catholic Exchange, I will only add that your garbage about “bright line” and the “state’s compelling interest” is something you made up off the top of your head, without having any court decisions to back you up.

And both you and Frank think that both of those “places” are pure myths, and you even think that you KNOW it, and maybe Frank does too. Your red herring about those Biblical verses makes that clear.

Your “reminder” is rejected as a classic case of the logical fallacy of “begging the question.” [Do you know the REAL meaning of that expression?]

What’s more, you are playing “bad cop” to Frank’s “good cop.” He is a fellow atheist of yours, but he made some allegations about what the Bible CLAIMS, and I was addressing those.

Needless to say, you aren’t correcting HIM.
