I don’t like it when some right wing extremists constantly call Obama by the name ‘Barack Hussein Obama’. They do so to make a derogatory Muslim connection that I personally find offensive. I do not believe Obama is a Muslim (I think he is a secular humanist). I also believe he was born in Hawaii. I’m a staunch conservative and card-carrying Republican, but some of these guys go too far. I refuse to wear a tin foil hat.

How about when a teacher does so?

Is it ok then?

No need to give an apologia. You’re obviously not a World Net Daily type.

BTW, they’ve added homosexual to Barack Soetero, Kenyan-born Moslem Communist-trained Indonesian citizen. 🤷

Yes.

I see a party ideologue as an individual who when someone of their party does something objectively bad, like say, stealing candy from a baby, or stomping on puppies and they say “well, this might have gone to far BUT where is the media when party Y does THIS”.

It is the inability or unwillingness to step away from partisanship and see politics for what it is for even a moment. It is a complete lack of perspective in a purposeful and chosen way.

Do you find people saying Herbert Walker Bush, William Jefferson Clinton or George Dubya Bush offensive as well? Let’s not forget Romney was called a felon, even worse by the Obama supporters. I guess that’s different. Along with Obama’s crass statement last week to Rolling Stone.

Ann Coulter is the most entertaining political personality I’ve ever seen on TV.

One of the reasons I avoid conservative talk radio is my desire to not get worked up. They are usually preaching to the choir (in my case), so mere mention of the latest liberal outrages generally gets me irritated, if not outright angry. So, I listen to EWTN Radio (Son Rise Morning Show, Dr. Ray. Women of Grace, World Over Live, etc.) and focus on Catholic thoughts. Sounds goofy, eh?

World Over Live is clearly right leaning.

I don’t like Coulter or Mahar. Coulter “playing” with racist themes and Mahar’s anti-religiosity get my goat. They show contempt in their attempts at humor and that’s not funny in my book They are simply different sides of a nasty coin.

I do like Colbert!

I don’t even know how many younger Republicans know what a Rockefeller Republican is. My Great Uncle Bill, a staunch Democrat his entire life, was always clear to identify himself as a Truman Democrat. I make the same distinction as a Rockefeller Republican, even though guys like me and my Great Uncle are slowly becoming relics of the past.

I heard that Rockefeller smoked cigars rolled in hundred dollar bills Is this true or just an urban legend.

I do know that it is true that Ayn Rand had flower arrangements in the shape of $$ at her funeral.

See that. That is a partisan ideologue statement.

Maybe John D., but certainly not Nelson.

Right? Left? It is a Catholic program on a Catholic network. Catholic teaching goes beyond these political philosophies

I’m associated with Opus Dei. I attend Latin Mass. I take Holy Communion orally. I’m a conservative Catholic. Yeah, I like Raymond Arroyo’s show. But I also listen to Father Mitch Paqua, a Jesuit, who I’m guessing might be slightly liberal.

As for Coulter, all I can say is she is entertaining. Period. I xonsider Bill Maher beneath the low standards of the MSNBC nightly commentators.

Or who Rockefeller was, except maybe for John D., as one of the robber barons. 😃

I guess the question is- does World Over Live present Catholic thought without any baggage.

THe fact that you are so fast to defend it should show something about it’s leanings. 🙂

I much prefer BCTV for Catholic programming. No they don’t have the budget of EWTN, but they also don’t have all the baggage.

This reminds me of the statement many say, they did not leave the Democrat party, the Democrat party left them.

If you have one side calling for same sex marriage, expanding abortion and taking God out of their platform, that is pretty partisan.

With that said, I think the Constitution Platform is palatable.

I defend a Catholic host on a Catholic programe. I definitely am a right wing ideologue. Among years that show has been airing many Bishops and Priests have been on. If you disagree with the show so much do you disagree with they also?
