Nihil Obstat Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 [quote name='Freedom' timestamp='1351281138' post='2498064'] This election is all about voting against Obama and the only one who can do that is Mitt Romney. You want to ignore that, then know that you are wrong. As simple as that. [/quote] I have this weird, apparently radical idea that political processes, broadly speaking, should be used to actually make positive change, to protect freedom and promote justice and morality. Funny how we are approaching this differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freedom Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 I think you should change your name to Obama Militant... You are certainly not the church's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[img]http://agoratelegraph.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/murray-rothbard-enemy-state.jpg[/img] But hey, if we want to go down that route, I suggest a competition. Let us both find a nice spiffy altar, then we will both stand in front of it and recite our favourite prayers. The winner is the one who looks most pious and devout. The winner will be entitled to say: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican. I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent Vega Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 [quote name='Freedom' timestamp='1351273835' post='2497999'] I know who I'm voting for and I know who is best for this country and for the Catholic church, Mitt Romney. [/quote] Wait, so are you voting because you think Obama is terrible (which I agree with) or because Romney is great (which I do not agree with)? Because earlier in the thread the cut of your gib was different. Talk about waffling convictions. I'd bet dollars to donuts that if we had asked you a year ago who would be best for this country, Santorum (or insert other more socially conservative candidate here) or Romney, you would have talked about what a liberal Romney is (and I wouldn't have disagreed).

Aloysius Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Freedom, the type of conflation of politics with religion I'm witnessing you display here is poisonous and evil. to accuse people of not being okay with God or the Church because they don't want to support your political candidate... that is evil and it's a sin against our common Catholic Faith. Accuse us of being wrong or stupid or not pragmatic enough, fine, you have the right to that opinion; but calling into question our Catholicism because we don't support Mitt Romney? I would kindly ask you to retract those types of statements and apologize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anomaly Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) [quote name='Lil Red' timestamp='1351283209' post='2498099'] don't hold your breath. [/quote] Exactly. I've only seen 37 apologies, and 103 retractions on PM in the 309,000+ posts on the Debate Table. I probably should have doubled those stats, considering my own posts, but it'll never happen.

Freedom Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Why are you hiding? Are you trying to wear me down by being on several accounts under different names? I may be young but not stupid. Still, to answer your question, compared to Obama, Romney is a Saint. Gotta go, I have other things to do besides answering all of youz.

[/quote] I'm sure everyone can recall me a year ago talking about what a liberal Romney is and how much greater Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum were. My tune changed as soon as he was the clear victor. This is my first election so I don't know, but I'm sure this is probably how it goes every time there is a presidential election. I'm glad I was swayed from the devoted Republican side before I was eaten up by typical American politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having multiple accounts is against the rules. These people have been here for years. A lot of them have met each other in real life. We've even had a Phatmass meet-up. Insult us all you want, but I'm tired of you accusing us of being one person. We are all different people. Not one of us has two accounts. But wait, key word there. "I may be young but not stupid". According to your nasty private message you sent me you are twice my age, which on a quick mathematical thought is 32. Are you young or are you an adult in your thirties?
