Biden picks Kamala Harris as running mate

[YADA]

Harris is an anti-Catholic bigot and questioning judges about their Catholic faith has been more overt at times and there has been some push back … so the fact that a judge was a member of the KOCs gave Harris an opening to question him on the same beliefs that are primary for faithful active practicing Catholics covertly … she even couched the KOCs as being mostly Catholic men . when being Catholic is necessary - there are no non Catholic men in the KOC … The tact by Harris was just to avoid having the Church leadership come down on them and I guess - so people like you would be persuaded that the question was not tied to his faith but this one troubling men’s only club …

The Democratic party is decidedly anti-Catholic - unless of course - one is a dissident Catholic who espouses the right to abort babies and decries the concept of traditional marriage - Thus as long as you are a Catholic who ignores Church teaching - you are Golden - the Dems can trot you out to dance and prance and pronounce yourself a “devout Catholic” ala Nancy Pelosi et al … to get that Catholic vote …
For example here is an example

Democratic Senators Test Amy Barrett on Catholic Beliefs - The Atlantic

Catholic leaders decry Democrats’ questioning of judicial pick

Roman Catholic leaders are objecting to Democratic senators’ line of questioning for one of President Donald Trump’s judicial nominees, arguing the focus on her faith is misplaced and runs counter to the Constitution’s…

Should senators ask Alito about the role of his faith?

If confirmed, he would become the fifth Catholic among the nine justices on the Supreme Court.

Some claims don’t merit response. Never mind.

I will say Kamala Harris is my second favorite Kamala of all time. 3rd if you count the girl from the Riftwar Saga by Raymond Feist.

Who knew it would take the death of the Ugandan Headhunter to find common ground. Good stuff though.

Look up Kamala vs. Moon Dog Spot on the Youtube.

IIRC, that was the match in my young fandom that made me take notice of this 400 lb monster; I’ll have to rewatch it. From tag team champion to jobber to the stars in a few years. Thanks for playing Moondog.

I wonder if the USCCB will say anything against her criticism of the Knights of Columbus.

What did she say? I found this question. " Were you aware that the Knights of Columbus opposed a woman’s right to choose when you joined the organization?" But this is not a criticism. It is a description.

but also a compassionate person with a moral compass.

this should be in the joke thread

Looking at the quote (provided by Jharek) that’s not what she said

religious people who make excuses for her support of abortion, SSM, etc. won’t care about kav…

How can a Catholic support this religious bigot?

the same way they support the anti-religious policies of the DNC

Pagan? Next will Democrats throw women into the Grand Canyon in their rituals?

what do you think abortion is? it is a pagan sacrifice to the self. the democrats fully support this sacrifice.

Chattel slavery was NEVER the norm!

yet, it still exists today?

Yes, he will create a competent federal government.

any team joe puts together will push anti-catholic teachings, I don’t consider that a competent government.

Some claims don’t merit response. Never mind.

so which of these positions of harris’ party is catholic in teaching?

abortion, the entire LGBT agenda, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research, transgenderism, identity politics, the destruction of the family, contraception, socialism, breaking the seal of the confession, forced abortions in catholic hospitals, liberal judges who will uphold these policies, etc

Ahh. I knew Sally was Jefferson’s wife’s half-sister (which is pretty creepy, if you think about it), but I did not realize that Sally’s mom was also the daughter of a white man. It just goes to show how common sexual exploitation and rape was in the slave era.

While exploitation and rape may have been common, there seems to be an assumption be made here that if a slave was having relationships with a white man it could not be consensual.

 

[upant]

Then you must be missing that 167000 Americans have died of COVID.

which has nothing to do with a government that Biden will put in place that will support policies that are against Catholic teaching

 

[glencor63]

Slaves had no choice of whether to consent to sexual intercourse! Sally Hemmings, like all females during slavery were raped!

I like this idea. All loans forgiven and $2000 monthly. Sounds great. i can spend more time reading. There is a nice grassy area near the beach and a few trees which give great shade. It will be fabulous to be able to just lie there under the shade of the tree, and catch up on my reading while the listening to the sounds and having beautiful ocean waves nearby. And if my girlfriend has $2000 coming in every month, that will be $48 K per year between us. i have changed my mind about Kamahhla Harris. Perhaps after speaking with AOC, they can raise this stipend to $2500 per month and with free medical care, free university education, free food stamps, free no eviction housing, this can be paradise on earth. Even Trump is getting in on this by mandating no evictions. i like the part especially where the landlords have to cover all the costs of the water, gas, electricity, taxes, sewerage, and we tenants don’t have to pay a dime and the courts will not evict us. At least in California, where Kamahhla is from. The Courts have been refusing to take any eviction cases. So , see, there is someone on our side.

Supportive of marriage? Not by example in his own life. And he stated he had nothing against same-sex marriage. Policies favoring just wages for families? How so? You do realize Trump was a Democrat and supported, donated to, and praised Hillary Clinton before he became a Republican. He saw an opening among the 22 or so loony Republican contenders in 2016 and made the most of it. He could just as easily have run as a Democrat and supported abortion and SSM if the opening had presented itself. He is, above all else, an OPPORTUNIST with no moral or ethical code, and plays on the fears and prejudices of Americans. How is it that an intelligent man such as you does not realize that?

 

[meltzerboy2]

Consensual? Do you mean a slave would consensually have sexual relationships with her White master? If so, that would be similar to a Holocaust prisoner having consensual sex with a Nazi guard.

 

[meltzerboy2]

Come on now. Kamala Harris is more liberal than Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren?

We do not live in a Catholic theocracy … or any other theocracy for that matter. Thank the Lord! … and the Founding Fathers.

Deep down? Trump is an open book when he speaks. He is literally telling suburban women they do not have to fear lower-class people in their neighborhoods if they elect him. No dog whistles here, only fire alarms.

So she’s half- Tamil (ethnic group from South India).
Through her dad she will obviously have African and European ancestry)

And the term “suburban housewives” is out of a bygone era, anyway.

Oh, maybe that’s on purpose. So many things like that about Trump are features and not bugs.

While exploitation and rape may have been common, there seems to be an assumption be made here that if a slave was having relationships with a white man it could not be consensual.

It seems that Sally Hemings’ relationship with Jefferson was loving (or at least tender), and she staid in the relationship when she had an opportunity to escape it (when they lived together in France). I would not judge him (or her) by today’s standards. But I would also not pretend that the facts are other than they are. Jefferson started having sex with her when she was probably 14 (or maybe 15) and was legally his property. Its hard to call that consensual.

He’s also a compulsive liar and cheater. If he had shown some growth as a human being on these fronts while he has been president, I would consider forgiving him, but he hasn’t as far as I can see. Still up to his old tricks.
