Chalk up the list of minority groups on whose votes the Minnesota DFL party believes they can count, no matter how brazenly they abuse them; blacks, women, gays, asians, latinos…
This is a mailer the DFL sent out:
… a picture of a priest wearing a button that says “Ignore the Poor”. The picture takes up the entire side of the postcard!
How low has the DFL party sunk that they would mail out pictures of a priest urging people to ignore the poor?
In their haste to try to run from the Democrat agenda of Higher Taxes and ever more Inefficient, Ineffective and Expensive Government programs, the DFL has gone too far.
The other side of the postcard talks about Government Health Care. Government run health care means the end of Catholic Hospitals. I guess the Democrats have to demonize Catholics in order to justify their stand on Government Run Health Care
I’ve long since given up on Minnesota Catholics following their church’s direction on, say, abortion; apparently those that convenience doesn’t win over, ideology trumps.
But Catholic Charities is not only among Minnesota’s largest charities – it’s among its most efficient, in terms of dollars reaching the actual poor.
Are Minnesota’s catholics satisfied being yet another kick toy for the DFL to demonize with impunity?
CORRECTION: I inadvertently credited the postcard to the DFL Central Committee. It’s actually the DFL State Committee. I have corrected the error, and regret any confusion caused by my mistake.
I didn’t need another reason to vote against Democrats. Yet, there it is…
It’s easy to pick on U.S. Catholics because we don’t fight back very well. And Archbishop Nienstedt makes a great Emmanuel Goldstein.
Or, for that matter, any Protestant or Orthodox denomination which uses clerical collars. It’s not just Catholic priests.
I’m not Catholic, but yes, this is another reason to vote against the DFL.
The DFL uses the word “Preacher Hall SIX times in their postcard. Do this…change the wording to “The Jew Hall” and reread the letter sent by the DFL.
Catholic charities charges at 10% admin fee on it’s charitable work (basically what the office staff retain to do the work). The govenment is around 35%. Possibly much higher when you consider interest on the debt that the gov’t borrows. And guess which one is far more effective.
And the point of the postcard is?
Bizarre, even by DFL standards.
This won’t leave a good taste in the Catholic hierarchy’s mouth. With the exception of abortion the hierarchy is pretty leftist. Can you say, “Create long term ill feelings?” I knew you could.
Or, for that matter, any Protestant or Orthodox denomination which uses clerical collars. It’s not just Catholic priests.
True, but the practice is not universal among Protestant clerics. All diocesan priests wear the collar and for most people the collar calls to mind a priest. To me, that’s what makes it simultaneously dumb and offensive.
