If all you two can do is insult each other I'll ban both of you forever. I'm just kidding about the last part, but can you both just stop? Thanks! I think you are going to have to ban me first since I am the worst offender when it comes to insults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also went on and on here how Trayvon had it coming. I know where you stand. I've known for a long time. And your an atheist. Ugly combination. Never respond or address me on here again. Have a nice life. I say let them wear it. Not everyone is naturally blessed with high levels of melanin like myself, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack4 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Here, if you criticise a specific policy of the Prime Minister, his supporters will accuse you of lacking patriotism. Without trying to understand, they make a caricature that is exaggerated. That is a poor way of dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little2add Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 The Catholic News Agency is reporting that Nathan Phillips, the man who confronted a group of Catholic high school students at the Lincoln Memorial last Friday, attempted to disrupt Mass at the nation’s largest Catholic Church on Saturday. While chanting and playing ceremonial drums, a group of Native American rights activists reportedly led by Nathan Phillips attempted Jan. 19 to enter Washington, D.C.’s Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception during a Saturday evening Mass. The group of 20 demonstrators was stopped by shrine security as it tried to enter the church during its 5:15 pm Vigil Mass, according to a shrine security guard on duty during the Mass… The guard told CNA the situation was “tense.” “I’m just really grateful that nothing too bad happened, they were really angry.” There is more evidence that Nathan Phillips is someone who looks to create confrontations, not someone who is the victim of one. His initial story about being surrounded by Catholic High students wasn’t true. His story about being blocked from proceeding wasn’t true. What is true is that he walked into the crowd followed by a cameraman and a guy telling the kids to go back to Europe. And it appears his stunt the next night at the Basilica was more of the same.

little2add Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) Just another brazen attempt to disparage Catholics and the right to life annual March on Washington to protest the practice of abortion. I think that it’s quite odd and disingenuous that this little insignificant incident is receiving so much attention by the media, When over 200,000 law abiding citizens, peacefully participated in the actual RTL March there was virtually no media coverage.

Anomaly Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 The big agenda is to discredit anti-abortion efforts. Catholics are an easy target. They are easily riled up to attack themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack4 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Quote Evil talks a lot about “tolerance” when it’s weak. When evil is strong, real tolerance gets pushed out the door. And the reason is simple. Evil cannot bear the counter-witness of truth. It will not coexist peacefully with goodness, because evil insists on being seen as right, and worshiped as being right. Therefore, the good must be made to seem hateful and wrong. The very existence of people, in the March for Life and elsewhere, who refuse to accept evil and who seek to act virtuously burns the conscience of those who don’t. And so, quite logically, people who march and lobby and speak out to defend the unborn child will be — and are — reviled by leaders and media and abortion activists that turn the right to kill an unborn child into a shrine to personal choice. - Archbishop Chaput, Native American, dated 17th January (before this story broke) http://archphila.org/archbishop-chaputs-weekly-column-marching-for-life-2019/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little2add Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 I don’t think Catholics are exclusive to being easily riled up in a attack I thought the young man 16 years old behaved decently in the video of the incident. If someone was in my face, pounding a drum and yelling I might not of been so cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't understand is this: Why is it newsworthy and vitriol-worthy that Sandmann (a white teen) abused a Native American, while it is not newsworthy and vitriol-worthy that a group of African-Americans were abusing him.
