I’ll also not give up on Michelle easily. ;o)

I have lost a lot of respect for this place and Republican “conservatives”. The fact that all of the hate filled, anti-Catholic, anti-Pope comments are still here (and over at the “Catholic elite” post) says a lot about this blog.

A secret Vatican immigration plot unearthed….

Please take the Pope out of the discussion and insert like I have anyone responsible for the continued invasion from our southern border.

Fine by me!

I’m amongst those who know it is the businesses who illegally hire Illegal Aliens that are our biggest problem. I’m amongst those who know that when the jobs dry up most of the Illegals will return to their homelands. I’m amongst those who realize that a vote for Juan McAmnesty is a vote for Illegal Alien Amnesty.

I’m also amongst those who realize that there was no reason to play the politically correct game of Poke A Pope concerning this topic. I’m certain that Bennedict did not a thing to bring those people to America, but the potential of wealth certainly did.

I’ll also not give up on Michelle easily. ;o)

greenfarie, in post 159 had stated that an e-mail was sent to Michelle about some of the comments being made towards the Pope. My response in post 160 was, to paraphrase, assuring greenfarie that Catholicism, Christianity, and Jesus have been around a long, long, long time and are able to withstand any criticism the posters on this blog would like to aim towards it.

You seem to wish my comments offensive, but I assure you that if I desire to offend you it will be quite blatant.

I apologize. I misread your original post.

My contention had to do with the phrasing. By seperating Catholic from Christian it came across as yet another put-down in a whole slew of them.

This statement is either historically ignorant or intentionally dishonest.

I’m not sure which I think is worse.

Hmm…How about instead of getting upset over that sentence let’s look at the context that sentence was in.

“Born here, you’re a citizen”. Brilliant idea.

IIRC this amendment was added to ensure ex-slaves wouldn’t be denied US citizenship after the US Civil War.

Now it is being twisted to give illegals a foothold towards US citizenship.

Harris, are you sure that came out right? Jesus, our Saviour, the Christ IS Christianity. And His apostle, St. Peter, was the 1st Pope of the CHRISTIAN Church.

NBF quoting Michelle: “If the Vatican had its way, we’d be paying for every last organ transplant for every last illegal alien patient in the world.”

Yes, that one really hurt us all.

Lastly, from Rush Limbaugh today, Monday April 21st:

Pope Benedict XVI drew huge crowds during his visit to America and moved us with his profound words. The pope is a man who understands American Exceptionalism and the meaning of freedom. (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen Here)

I guess there are some Republican who do not hate the Pope.

You sure bent over backward to give the most uncharitable spin of the Pope’s words and actions. Lies like this sure make me lose a great deal of respect for you.

I sure hope a hacker hijacked your computer. If not, I’ll do what any self-repsecting conservative should do: walk away.

They could probably afford to send more than that home. When the work crews came through Kansas they lived 12-20 to a trailor home and had no expenses that I could see. They may have a portion of their wages held to pay the rent but with the numbers in the trailors that would not be a large sum for any of them. Nice racket if you can get it.
