Politics in relationships

[superamazingman]

Not that it is on topic or anything but I think what you are describing is rare. I think the media loves to find any example of that and broadcast it. I actually think some of the leftists get away with way worse things than what you are describing. Again, racism is ugly. Murder is worse.

I have also found it to be quite rare. The media is very selective on what it reports. It rarely covers the march for life, and it is one of the largest (or at least a larger) gatherings of people for a very controversial cause in America. I have personally seen any conservative use the n-word in refference to our president, and I am quite active in politics. There was a massive tea-party support for Herman Cain, and even for those for who he wasn’t “their guy” they certanly didn’t hate him or anything. If you want to see racism, look at the liberal’s comments to Cain. I hear several comments about him not being a “real black man” because he is conservative. Many other comments about being an inner white man. Absolutely sickening. Our president and his aids (see link below to a great blog post by a friend of mine) are also the ones who keep bringing up race, not the tea party people.

Since become Catholic, the political issue has been a difficult one for me to reconcile. I understand why a Catholic would be conservative on moral issues, as I am myself. However, regarding social justice, it seems the GOP really misses the mark. And leading up to the election, there have been some horrible comments made by candidates about minorities for example. There was the debacle with the Tea Party referring to President Obama as the N-word. Actually, there has been a fair bit of use of the N-word in the political arena since Obama’s election. That really disturbs me.

So while politics wouldn’t make or break my decision about whether or not to seriously date someone, I would want to know what he thought about those issues, particularly the social justice and racial stuff.

I could never date (or obviously marry) a liberal. I really couldn’t.

I’m see this girl, and the topic of politics came up. We’re both practicing Catholics, but have different political views. She’s center left, and I’m center right. She thinks this could be a problem down the line, especially given her career aspirations in social work. Also, she’s concerned how this may play out in the education of future children, if it gets to that. What are your opinions on this? Thank you in advance.

Enlighten her to the fact that liberals are intentionally feeding the themes of casual sex, drugs, and violence to the public, which makes individuals more selfish and less tolerant of marriage and responsible parenthood. As people become less tolerant of responsible parenthood, remind her that this is good for her future job security. The number of social workers needed to fill the role of the selfish absent father is only increasing due to liberalism. If the lightbulb goes on in her head, and she becomes a conservative, marry her. If she curses you for enlightening her to the cold hard truth, then she has chosen to be willfully ignorant of the truth, in which case you don’t want her anyway.

She isn’t a Catholic if she’s a Democrat. I’m sorry but you can’t give lip service to your faith and morality and the Church and then turn around and through your actions support evil. It just doesn’t work.

It’s true. There’s the explicit things, such as gay “marriage,” abortion, and public sex ed but there’s also many other problems such as their outward mission to get more on foodstamps and dependent on the government, the gun control that they themselves admit is not truly about safety, but about completely banning guns, which are used for self-defense (the safety is just their excuse, because otherwise, they’d get nowhere).

I don’t see anything wrong with that because you probably wouldn’t agree with a liberal on core issues. You quoted my post so I don’t know if you’re calling me a liberal but I don’t consider myself liberal at all. I’m probably closer to an independent. I think both parties are messed up TBH.

No, I wasn’t really talking about you, your post just made that thought come to mind, so I used it as a jumping off point.

No problem.
