    It has nothing to do with China. That was a Bush family project.

    The US doesn't get may Italian or Irish immigrants these days. Polish immigrants yes. Irish & Italian ethnic enclaves in the NY area are diminished.

    The Catholic Church receives much of its oxygen from Latin American & Philippine immigrants, the Church here is changing. Churches all have altars to The Virgin of Guadaoupe.

    Our Church is not rah rah like others. nobody takes attendance.

    Previously, when the Pope spoke of abortion or gays, we might feel free to ignore him while the Media was in a frenzy about his old fashioned ideas.

    Now the Media is all in love with The Pope, yet we can chose to ignore this Pope too.

    Prattling on about global warming or sticking his nose into the American election, espousing trendy ideas.

    The Papacy condemned Ireland to centuries of British-Protestant conquest. people had to worship in a field because Catholicism was illegal.

    We are used to the contempt thrown at us. They say we worship rocks and Idols. Yet I embrace these relics of primitive culture. These relics would have been erased by a strong Papacy.

    Hey, just in case anyone is interested in what Trumpy has to say: At the close of a speech today, he said that he wants to take 50 bullets and dip them in pig blood and kill some Muslims. The crowd cheered him!

    Yes, I do have, and most likely more education than most who post on here. I can make my own money, don't have to rely on uncle Sam from my short comings!

    Yep, ya didn'tskip a beat, it was bush (s) family fault! LMFAO!

    But as usual, bullshit lies will spew on here favoring handouts!

    Best thing is, trumps #'s keep on rising! Handout train will soon be over!

    He took what he was given and multiplied it and recoovered everything he lost, not many can honestly say they did such, let alone do such. Can you honetsly do the same thing, or say the same thing without lying?

    But it was Clinton who chose not to veto NAFTA, don't forget that bit of inconvience, he(Clinton) had to pay back the Teamsters and their lobbyists for remaining loyal.

    Clinton and NAFTA is one of the biggest reasons the Clintons leave a bad taste in my mouth. I don't care about partisanship, free trade has screwed over America and I'm glad people on both ends of the political spectrum are finally talking about it this election cycle.

    But please, let's not pretend like it was single handedly the fault of Clinton. Free trade had been supported on both sides of the aisle.

    Do you know any Muslims? I'm guessing not. The world isn't a walking stereotype dude.

    Because someone who can make others cheer for the violent death of a huge group of people, the majority of whom have never hurt another person, is the root of some dark shit for mankind.

    Mary = goddess in disguise. In Roman times she replaced Diana as a popular figure of devotion. Protestantism has no female figures at all. God evidently is a man. Even a bit misogynistic.

    I wonder how those anti-alcohol folks square that with Jesus depicted as drinking wine and even turning water into wine. They can't say it symbolizes something else, because they think it's all literal truth in the Bible.

    Half my family are Catholic, so I do have some sympathy I suppose. And some of them came over from Ireland.

    Myself I don't see why the Pope shouldn't speak out on anything he chooses. It's up to people how they react to it. I do think Francis is an improvement on what went before. But still, I won't be off to mass anytime soon.

    It has nothing to do with China.

    Look around Wal-Mart sometime. Compare the number of Made in Mexico labels to the number of Made in China labels. NAFTA covered Mexico and Canada.

    OMG, they've piled layer upon layer of distortions and rationalizations onto that those stories to make them whatever they want them to be. I've heard half a dozen different versions, all of them absurd. One of them is that part of the miracle he did at the wedding was that the alcohol had no intoxicating properties. Another line is that ancient people got a moral free pass on wine because the water was bad, and we have no such excuse or exemption. A third one has to do with the day of Pentecost. Until the Holy Spirit arrived on earth that day, believers had not been given enough moral discernment to comprehend that all drinking is evil. No comment from them on why Jesus never mentioned any of these points.

    If you think that's bad, you should hear some of their rationalizations on racism. Or maybe not. You would surely get angry.

    The Tea Party membership does not belong in western civilization. If fact, I would like to see them removed from this planet. I would like to see the Oregon Standoff crowd sent with the Tea Party membership, to some other planet.

    I drove past the Trump Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City today, its still there, even though four other casinos have closed down.

    The remaining eight casinos have won a property tax appeal in court, The City of Atlantic City has to refund $150million of back taxes from several years to the casinos.

    Atlantic City doesn't have the money and may go bankrupt.

    The Borgota Hotel & Casino has a $7.5million annual tax bill. The Judge said: You will not get your tax refund; so you are excused from paying your 2016 tax bill.

    Atlantic City has 40,000. residents and a budget of $250,000,000.00 The NJ State Gvmt. is attempting to take-over the City, in the way Detroit was taken over.

    Drove past the municipal airport (closed) and the minor league baseball stadium (vacated)

    The Ocean is still beautiful tho.

    SC ranks 45 in "quality of education in grades 1 - 12" and WHO IS SURPRISED that Trump came out winner here. lol

    This is one of those times I laugh to keep from crying. I find it very sad that so many of the people I come across that are SO VERBAL about how they LOVE Trump don't own a thing, not even their cars. They seem to think they will get money and good jobs through osmosis from him.

    NOT that they know what osmosis means.
