I did tell you my “real issue” with Obama in another thread (the HHS Contraceptive mandate), and you essentially mansplained to me why I should be submissive and not mind that my freedom of religion is being trampled.
Are we talking about every president from 1789 onwards or just the ones within living memory? Assuming that we are talking about the ones within living memory, I would suggest Lyndon Johnson as a possible candidate for an arrogant and self-important president. However, Johnson was reportedly arrogant and self-important in his private interactions with colleagues; from what I remember, he didn’t come across as arrogant and self-important in public appearances.
You cannot use the term “mansplain” every time a person who happens to be a man explains something. In fact I do not think that I was even explaining anything; I was merely giving my opinion.
To be quite honest, if the attitudes that I am seeing on CAF were typical of Americans and typical of Catholics, I should probably be happier being neither. Thankfully, I am aware of the fact that what I am seeing on here is not typical of Americans or Catholics or even of American Catholics.
When somebody makes unfounded allegations against an innocent person, I think that is my business, even if that person does not hold British or New Zealand citizenship. I hope that if somebody were to unfairly attack Boris Johnson or Jacinda Ardern you would do the same.
I just told you why Obama is not an innocent person.
No, the Bishops and Pope did not accept abortion. What you said is very offensive.
I remember one black co-worker telling me, “That man is so fine! I could just sit and stare at him!”
They no doubt support the peaceful transition of power from one U.S. President to the next, and that’s fine.
I suppose you think it’s seriously racist when U.S. companies ask black people (and white people and every other color of person!) for personal documents to prove that they are who they say they are and that they possess the qualification required for the job?
Well, it was started by Hillary Clinton, but to be honest, I didn’t follow it because I found it to be irrelevant to my decision on who to vote for.
No. It’s far more despicable that ridiculous. It is a slander.
So, when did Pope Francis endorse Vice President Biden? I missed it.
About half of Catholics? I’m not Catholic in communion with the pope, but I’ve always understood Catholic teaching to be derived From Scripture, Tradition and the Magisterium. I wasn’t aware majoritarianism was the fourth leg. Is this the Catholic version of personal interpretation?
I find it hard to believe the Catholic Church is moving toward supporting the “right” of someone to execute a human being in the womb.
You know?
So you think the Catholic Church will endorse execution in the womb?
The ones who push intersectionality and identity politics, the 1619 Project and the like certainly appear to be.
First, this is not a fair comparison. When somebody applies for a job almost anywhere, they usually have to provide evidence of being legally allowed to work in that country, e.g. a passport, ID card, work permit, visa, etc. That is a standard procedure required of most people seeking most jobs in most countries. It is absolutely not the norm for a candidate for the US presidency to be subjected to a conspiracy theory claiming that they were actually Kenyan or Indonesian. Surely you cannot be naïve enough to believe that it was mere coincidence that Obama was the first African American to run for the presidency and he also just happened to be the first presidential candidate to be subjected to allegations that he was born in Africa.
No, that was one of Trump’s lies:
Come on, you can’t see that the entire birther conspiracy was racist?
I do. But I like to read. Sometimes in languages that are not my first.
