    I disagree. Democrats want whitey dead, and they want whitey dead now.

    You actually did get lost? Maybe you shouldn't outsource your argumentation to other posters. That seems to have confused you more than it should have.

    So you DO think that they should have to drink every drop. Because otherwise "hypocrisy". So by your logic, if a person has some left wing ideas, enough so that they call themselves a "left winger", they must have ONLY left wing ideas. Because accepting certain ideas from a belief system, while rejecting others, is hypocrisy.

    Yeah, your argument sounds like a variation of this:

    The real scandal here is that you actually give a tinker's damn about someone else's head gear, when it is none of your damn business.

    I don't. I give a damn about living under a President who was excommunicated and was elected by morons who didn't know it. And who, now that they know, put love for their "idol" even ahead of even their own religious beliefs.

    Even to an atheist like me... that's scary.

    As an athiest myself, I must admit that I find this perplexing.

    Why would this supposed excommunication be of any import?

    Using students as political pawns is a bit weird to me.

    In your first post you say that Trump was excommunicated by the Pope. Whatever the Latin handle that applies to such an act by the pope this would be public knowledge and Trump would be on the list of the excommunicated, were it a fact.

    But don't you really mean the pseudo-nihilist pope Bob Englehart has excommunicated Trump?

    Just lime every pros abortion Catholic in the country, because you espouse a certain version of a religion doesn't mean you have to accept every thing some over valued twit within your religion says. By the way insulting people because you hate who they voted for is really lame and pretty damn childish into the bargain, but then the Democratic Party as currently constituted is the Party of the small minded, hateful religious bigot.

    The scandal of Catholic school kids wearing MAGA hats pales down to trivia compared to the brazenly bad reporting by the media and the massive threats sent to the students of Covington.

    You were almost onto something ... Catholics have always defied the Vatican ... overwhelmingly by voting (D). Ignoring the Vatican edicts on abortion & birth control isn't "new" ... supporting the GOP is. Trump excommunicated by the sexually abusive Catholic hierarchy? :roflol:

    Are you so sure? You created a bogus thread by attempting to make a calculated criticism that flatly isn't credible. The assumption being that this was only to further the conversation to cover over the fact that the general reaction of the left was unhinged and that their interpretation of events that they didn't take time enough to critically evaluate was the trigger over their unbelievably racist, misandry and flat out vile behavior directed at a bunch of HS kids. And here you are, again, attempting to shift the conversation about your own version of horror because those HS kids wore clothing with the MAGA logo on them. So, in your estimation, catholic kids shouldn't have a right to express themselves because you want them not to? And your bogus assertion is that the Catholic church, itself is against this? I suppose, as a Catholic, I am both offended by, and horrified by your assertion that you have a legitimate claim, or that your packaging of messaging here is somehow representative of my Church or faith.

    So, I inject what I actually think the reason folks, like you, continue to need to drive the false narratives, to continue to try to vilify a group of HS kids. To bully them endlessly on the internet. I think, it's because you think you can. And this thread supports the idea that your willingness to bully complete strangers is something that we should what? Applaud? Unlikely dude.

    Total bullshit. Canon law doesn't say that you can only follow Catholic leaders.

    I don't know what it is you're drinking, but this is the second time in a row you confuse me with somebody else. Nothing I have written has anything whatsoever to do with separating church and state or not.

    To a non-Catholic, none. To a Catholic, it's paramount. To an atheist who got Catholic Dogma hammered down his throat for all of High School, it's a curiosity.

    The quote was mine. It was the part of my post that you evaded, instead responding with nonsense about the hats.
