President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (Cardinal Dolan) has harsh words for GOP

Monday, May 7th, 2012

I’m not a member of the Catholic Church but Cardinal Dolan has my vote in having a shot at being the first American Pope based on what he said in below video.

Looks like we are seeing continued strong Catholic leadership on the immigration issue.  And, if they continue with strong pro legal immigration reform efforts … I’m confident they will see a spike in new Latin members (fastest growing demographic in the U.S.).  Latinos are not happy with Mitt Romney since he received advice from Kris Kobach (legal arm of FAIR), and we simply do not trust him.  It’s too bad Sen. Marco Rubio will not offer the same compassion that is afforded to Cuban immigrants.  Rubio’s plan does not offer citizenship to my people even though it is offered to his people.

From the President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. I am happy with the Catholics strong pro immigrant legislative efforts.

Indiana Hoosier Latino Members of Catholic Church Stumping for Senator Lugar

Sunday, May 6th, 2012

Now that we know nativist and extremist Joe Arpaio is helping Richard Mourdock, we are keeping an eye on Indiana race.  Why is Indiana allowing “outsiders” to influence their Senate elections?

We hope we are sending a message to the Catholic Church leaders of Indiana … loud and clear that Latino members of the Catholic Church want Senator Lugar.  Joe Donnelly voted against our children in 2010.

Cartoon: New face of the ‘so-called’ pro life Republican

The New Face of the GOP

This cartoon depicting Republican Nebraska Governor Heineman as a pro life hypocrite is on point. Talk about politicians who beat up on ‘girls’ — the Nebraska Governor takes the cake and makes the Democratic Ben Nelson look good.

Apparently the Governor of Nebraska thinks it is safe to pick on undocumented women who choose to keep their babies since he really does not have to worry about their votes in the immediate sense- and this seems to be the path Republicans are now willing to embrace.  The Nebraska Gov is placing a safe bet going against those who don’t have a right to vote.

The new face of the Republican Party now consists of Kris Kobach (architect of voter suppression and anti-immigrant laws), FAIR, NumbersUSA, Russell Pearce, Joe Arpaio, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, Andrew Thomas, Tom Tancredo, Steve King, Lamar Smith and etc.    Kris Kobach is the architect of anti-immigrant and anti-Latino legislation via FAIR.  Kris Kobach is advising GOP Candidate Mitt Romney.  FAIR began with the likes of John Tanton — a man who is on the record for stating he is anti-Catholic and has contributed to the Pioneer Fund.  It’s no wonder Moderate Republicans are fleeing the Republican Party in droves due to unreasonable tea party extremism.

Latinos will not put their faith in anti-Latino immigrant legislators in 2012.  I have money on it.

Board members of FAIR actively promote the sterilization of Third World women for the purposes of reducing U.S. immigration prospects. And if anything disturbs the good doctor more than those Latin American hordes crossing the Rio Grande, it’s the likelihood that most of them are Catholic, or so he once told a Reuters reporter.
