Can Catholics be Democrats?

Catholics are supposed to consider five key issues (abortion, euthanasia, human cloning, embryonic stem cells and marriage), and I always add religious freedom.
You do realize that such a handy-dandy checklist was something written by the founder of the Catholic apologetics group who runs this board. While he is well intentioned, he does not speak for the US Bishops, the Magusterium or the Vatican.

 
Since the rules about mentioning parties by name seems not to apply on the new forum, I’ll take a chance.

Check out the American Solidarity Party. Look for the pelican!
 
Im not wishing anyone ill. Just worried that calling world leaders “Rocket man” is insane, unfitting of a President, and is going to get us all killed.
 
p.s. The above statement has nothing to do with either party. Talking about this specific president.
 
Paying protection money to the North Koreans for the last 20 years has been ineffective.

As the early American diplomats replied to similar demands, “Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute!”
 
Year 1860: “Well, we can’t be obsessed with slavery. Yeah, it’s bad and all, but I gots me to worries about the price of straw at the marketplace.”



The Bishops don’t always get it right either…
 
A lot of us who are more on the right or on the right wanted to see Obama succeed. He actually had the opportunity to be a pretty good president.
 
I prayed for Obama and did not wish him ill. I actually thought his first term was good and I was generally behind his health care initiative. I did not like the media portraying him as a saint as to me he and his wife seemed to be ordinary lawyers with good educations, and I thought he and some of his administration made some poor decisions in his second term. I have never wished that any President fail nor that the country be harmed as a result. I’d also advise you not to assume what a person’s political beliefs are as you seem to have done with me based on the fact that I prefer to do something positive rather than negative.

Be patient, my friend, it took W awhile to take the surplus economy that Clinton left him and turn it into the Wall Street chaos that Obama inherited. Republican mess it up and Democrats have to clean it up . . . I just hope there is something left for the Democrats to clean up. In the meantime, we have a 4 year old in the White House that a majority of Americans disapprove of.
You wouldn’t happen to own a parrot…would you? Because these words of yours sound identical to the tripe that HRC and the dems have regurgitated ad nauseam.

I have taken your comment under consideration
Doubt it.
Thank you for your time on this matter and good luck in future political bullying attempts.
Ah, yes the polite lead-up to an insult 😜
  1. If you think what I am doing on here is bullying, then I would suggest not participating in the forums. It suggest that one is not able to handle the conversation effectively.
  2. I will apologize for not responding in the manner I should have previously on our disagreements. However, I will be adding you to my ignore list. You have not demonstrated the inclination to engage in a mature enough conversation.
 
I will be adding you to my ignore list.
I agree, except I wouldn’t add anyone to my ignore list, since that just handicaps us. I just don’t respond anymore if I don’t feel like any further progress can be made and I’ve said what I’ve needed to say. It’s up to them to choose then.

God Bless You

I agree, when Obama first entered the presidency, I didn’t know enough about him before hand and his temperament seemed to come across as more contemplative which I thought was good, as he might become pretty good, but after a little into his presidency it started to become apparent where his heart was considering the people who surrounded him and the policies and things he supported, then I watched debates before he was elected, and could see his mind was already made up on these issues such as same sex marriage and abortion and it was just a deceptive tactic he was using.

Like those who pretend to be objective and contemplative in regards to the abortion and same sex marriage issues, but then later they come out with their real opinion they held all along.

And I really hate to say this, but either the media is reporting falsehoods about our Holy Father all the time (quite possible), or our Holy Father gives me a similar vibe considering some of the vague comments that play right into the hands of the enemies of the Church. I’ll continue to pray for him though as he is still our Holy Father.

God Bless You

Come on–he’s got the Senate, he’s got the House–but as usual it’s always everybody else’s fault.
Quite the contrary, this is a good sign, it means he respects the process, otherwise he wouldn’t complain about people who voted against him, rather he would just do it. The very fact that he is complaining about them is a good sign, means he knows he can’t just do whatever he wants.

God Bless

I would not have recommended that comment but I’m not concerned about it either because if a mild comment like ‘Rocket Man’ sets this guy off, then he was going to do it anyway, KJU was firing rockets over Japan before any ‘Rocket Man’ comment.

I also think the whole debacle with President Trump’s phone call to the widows of fallen soldiers was shameful in regards to the media and others, I have even more respect for Trump after that and I feel sorry for I think it was one of the widows who said bad things about Trump, because I can only imagine the uncertain financial prospect into the future and the amount of money that was offered her to bag out Trump.

Nobody takes the initiative to personally call the widow of a fallen soldier and then disrespect them or their husband, least of all the President, the very reaching out is a sign of great respect, appreciation and condolances.

God Bless

Thank you for reading.

But Trump, being both white and rich gets a much lower bar for criticism from his Republican colleagues.
Well that’s racist, your assuming I supported Trump because he is white? or because he somehow favors the rich? maybe you should take a look at which candidate the rich most contributed to.

I also supported Ben Carson at the start, then he merged with Trump. 😉

God Bless

I am quite sure when it comes to rich people’s support, the Republican Party has always been the winner.
Not this time, Clinton had the biggest $'s behind her campaign. Nor did she feel the need to campaign very hard since she had the mainstream media campaigning for her.

God Bless

Oh and Trump definitely favors the rich . . . wait till you see his tax cuts and how they are paid for.
There is a sickness with this whole tax cuts and raises thing, which Ben Carson exposed well, taxes should be even across the board whether your rich or poor. The biggest problem are things like deductions, since the wealthy can hire teams of accountants and lawyers to find and exploit any kind of loophole, and that’s when it becomes unfair. So the tax codes need to be simplified and even across the board whether your rich or poor.

You also mentioned the unemployed earlier, and I can tell you we much prefer someone like Trump, who stops companies moving overseas and taxing them out of business with hikes in electricity prices and regulations like here in Australia due to their foolish Climate goals that wont make a difference anyway even admitted by those who believe in it thus reducing the amount of jobs available, and stops open border policies which forces you to compete with slave labor for what’s left.

God Bless

Thank you for reading.
