You’ve made some really racist remarks in your post. And you’re putting all white men in the “landed” category. Some of the best people in the world have been white men, such as John Paul II, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Moore, etc. Granted, white people can be bad but so can people of color.
Don’t think that racism and sexism only go one way. You’ve demonstrated that in your above statements.

At drudge now, with the plunging DJIA, is the headline “own it”, liberals should own up that the Democrat party will be the only party that started the KKK, that lynched people. They need to own it. Some Liberals can only use this class warfare tactic. They need to own up to all the failures they put America through, IF ACA fails, if jobs continue to stagnate and people don’t work, thank the great generosity of the Obama supporters.

They wanted a tax cut. Can’t blame them for being upset.

Republicans learned a long time ago to promise tax cuts in order to get elected. GHW Bush did not do that, so he lost to Clinton. They also know from experience, that they need to promise spending cuts, but nobody in their party holds them to delivering the spending cuts, so they can make it freely, whether they mean it or not.

I merely stated a fact that Allen West lost his election and I am happy with the election results. That is a far cry from the definition of gloating. I am not dancing up and down. 🤷

I hadn’t heard that West lost…I’ll defer comment

Aren’t you the person who repeatedly used the :extrahappy: icon while discussing the election in earlier posts? Perhaps a 🙂 might have been sufficient. At least twice I’ve congratulated Obama partisans for their hard fought victory, though I have yet to see the sentiment reciprocated. Nor should Romney partisans resort to nasty insults regarding Obama and his supporters. I’ve chosen apathy over extreme partisanship. It only affects me in my tiny corner of the world.

If it was not you, I stand corrected. I do concur with your statement regarding the Cleveland Indians, who have not won a World Series in decades.

How many Catholics did so? I thought I saw someone on the thread said 50%?

Most Catholics vote exactly like the general population because most of them are the general population.

Catholics who actually attend Mass weekly are much more likely to identify with the Church’s ACTUAL teachings instead of their own pious fictions, and vote accordingly. However, only about 20% of Catholics actually attend Mass weekly, the actual figure depending on which study you consult.

You make a good point.

Is that why Paul Ryan ignored Sister Simone’s invitation to actually visit poor people - or did he just want to give speeches?

A group of Catholic nuns say they’re worried about the way GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney will approach poverty and safety-net programs, if elected. So the nuns have invited him, and his running mate Paul Ryan, to spend a day with them, helping the poor. npr.org/2012/08/17/158995048/nuns-ask-candidates-to-spend-a-day-with-the-poor

I was just thinking of the good work of Sister Simone and the nuns on the bus and I came across your post mentioning them. God bless the good work they do.

FEMA couldn’t even supply water. Apparently it never occured to them to have a couple trucks of it. Nor could they supply generators to gas stations. My basement is better prepared for something like this than FEMA.

FEMA is a joke. The president is in charge of FEMA.

Yeah they sit in those old folks homes pretty good, seeing as how the average age is now about 76 years old and getting older by the day.

Ah, then Chris Christie must be a little confused…I mean, he’s only on the ground in the place where it happened - how could he possibly know what the federal response was?

You’re asking God to bless an awful lot of questionable things here…I’d be careful with that kind of flippancy, or you just might get what you ask of Him.

They have to own it, like the Dow plunging,

Like Romney’s administration would have created jobs, Obama creates none, that’s the great charity of Obama and his supporters. They deny other Americans jobs.

They should own up to it, better to try to do something.

Who but God can change the “questionable” things in life which elude our puny human efforts?

Yup. Own it. And that goes for Catholics too. When the HHS mandate hits, you get no sympathy from me.
