    Only an idiot would say she didn’t vote against him because he was a Catholic, based on what she said. Are you really that clueless? Apparently.

    still no quote of her saying that, I think we all know the real reason, he was against a women's choice and equal marriage rights

    no reason for the personal attacks, that just shows your argument doesn't hold water and stand on it's own

    Harris repeatedly focused on his Catholicism. Some of us can make the logical conclusion his religion had something to do with her “no” vote. For some reason, libs in this thread are unable to do that.

    she focused on the group he was a part of, his religion had nothing to do with it, it was the views of the group being against the right to choose and same sex marriage

    for example:
    the kkk is a Christian group, questioning someone on there membership to that group is not an attack on Christians, it's a question if their views are the same as the group they belong too

    We are already way down that slope. And it's a left hand slope.

    As another example of where "equal treatment under the law" is debatable, consider government-mandated handicap parking spaces. Obviously, allowing some to park in those spaces yet fining others for parking in those spaces is decidedly not "equal treatment under the law."

    Wouldn't equal treatment under the law demand that everyone has an equal right to park in those spaces? Can you see that there would be two logical viewpoints on this?

    The EC has nothing to do with this.

    handicap parking is available to everyone if they become handicapped

    now if you only allowed white male handicapped people to use those spaces, then that would be discrimination

    oh I agree, republicans have already stacked the SC, and when dems take over they will do the same

    requiring 60 votes made it hard to seat far right or left judges, that is no more

    Oh, they think it's only white Catholics that are allowed to join? Nope. Lots of white Catholics can't get in. They don't want to, either. Unless we go to Africa or some other majority black nation, I've never seen very many black Catholics. If I'm not mistaken, most in my area of the U. S. are protestants of some sort or another... or muslim. I don't think the pope has anything to do with that. He'd rather all convert to Catholicism.

    The Founding Fathers did not establish a religious nation.

    You're right they used their predominantly Christian background and morality to create a nation where everyone was free to worship according to their own conventions. Or to not worship at all, which is a faulty notion but that's a different discussion.

    It's not faulty. It's human nature. Secular humanists attack believers when and where they can in an effort to right the 'wrongs' they believe have been committed against them. That's the same as shaming secular humanists for their lack of belief. None of that was in the Constitution. It wasn't implied, either.

    The Constitution made an attempt to thwart the efforts of folks like that, both believers and non. However, forcing one to do something is not a part of the founding fathers idea of liberty.

    Not really. The Founding Fathers were largely anti-Christian. Morality is the result of reason and biological impulses.

    Republicans said that JFK shouldn't be president because he was Catholic, and all catholics are loyal to the Pope and the Church first, and that he would take orders from the church over what was best for the US.

    They weren't anti-Christian. In fact, many of them, including Washington, Jefferson, and other leading voices considered themselves to be Christian, even if they didn't believe in Christian dogma. They simply believed in the freedom of religion.

    Jefferson was devoutly Christian in that he based his own moral code on the one that Jesus preached. He simply didn't consider Jesus to be a god.

    I didn't know Harris was the figurehead of the dems so I'm not sure how this has anything to do with catholic support of the dems. Besides Harris was absolutely destroyed in the second dem debate by Tulsi. I hope her popularity continues to drop.

    I guess I can understand why horizontal Harris would not like a Christian.

    Contemporary liberal ideology is hostile to the Catholic Church.
