    Lee Lofaso is a proud member of the Knights of Columbus
    in Louisiana. Here's how some of his friends who are
    similarly proud of Columbus behaved recently in Philadelphia:

    How would you know? Right Wingers have no religion other
    than hatred. They are certainly not "Christians" of any
    sort.

    Hello Aaron,

    [Everyman] is a proud member of the Knights of Columbus

    Nice try but Democrats aren't Catholic!

    -=begin quote=-

    Gregory Smigielski
    Howell, Michigan 48843

    Is Joe Biden a Sir Knight? I know that he is a Catholic and pro-life.

    Carl Anderson:
    Generally, we don't comment upon membership status, but Sen. Biden
    is not a member of the Knights of Columbus, and in terms of pro-life
    matters, the National Right to Life Committee has rated him as 0.

    -=end quote=-

    This quote was from 2008.

    Carl Anderson is/was Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus.
    I presume the same policy remains today.

    Jeb Bush has publicly stated he is a member
    of the Knights of Columbus. So has John Kerry.
    And a number of other politicians.

    All are pro-life.

    The Knights of Columbus is a religious organization, open to
    men who are practicing Catholics. Makes no difference what their
    political affiliation may be.

    Of course, it could be Joe Biden has become a member since 2008.
    And it could also be that Joe Biden is very much pro life, as every
    person has his/her own opinion as to what qualifies as being pro life.

    So what the hell does anybody know who is, and who is not, a member
    of the Knights of Columbus? And why should anybody care?

    "First, do no harm."

    Perhaps Mr. Anderson (and his National Right to Life Committee) can
    remind those prisoners on life row how much he loves the death penalty.
    And then maybe, just maybe, he can figure out what being pro-life is
    all about, and really means.

    -Lee

    Who hates who? I don't hate you or any of the other Democrat voters. I have hard feelings against Obama, and Joe was his wingman. I have hard feelings against Andrew Cuomo even worse. And US Rep Anthony Brindisi is the cherry on top of a shitty ice cream sundae.

    Go ahead and throw Trump under the bus; I don't care. I like him as a president, but if he's got to go, then so be it. Just help me get rid of
    Cuomo - he is a lunatic, a threat to my family, and the biggest douche in the history of NYS - Can you at least be with me on that??

    Catholic values teach us to forgive people. ("Turn the other cheek.") That means I forgive Joe for manipulating & potentially enslaving black Americans
    - but this also means that I can not vote for him.

    All are pro-life.

    Are you Catholic? I know you're not pro-life. (We've had that discussion before.)

    men who are practicing Catholics. Makes no difference what their
    political affiliation may be.

    I get what you're saying sorta but if you're Catholic you totally can't vote for Democrats - that would be like telling God "I'm knowingly voting for corruption, sex-trafficking, and abortion."

    Kenny who? McCormick or Rogers? lol I don't know who you mean.

    And many of my family are Catholic and Democrats as well.

    Abortion, human-trafficking, drug-smuggling, those are not Catholic values. These family members must be quite busy on reconciliation day. Are they aware of alternatives like Islam, Satanism, or paganism? Nobody should live their life in sin only to be a slave to reconciliation.

    I can't speak to that. That's between them and their faith.

    Hello Aaron,

    Catholic values teach us to forgive people. ("Turn the other cheek.") That
    means I forgive Joe for manipulating & potentially enslaving black
    Americans - but this also means that I can not vote for him.

    Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi are both practicing Catholics and
    can well tell you they live their faith in accordance to the
    teachings of the Catholic Church. In fact, they have already
    done so. Publicly. To the entire country, and the world.

    John Kerry is also a practicing Catholic. And came with a hair of
    winning election to the presidency against an incumbent Republican.
    Had he won, he would have become the first Catholic president since
    JFK.

    Jeb Bush is a practicing Catholic. Many people thought he would
    be elected president in 2016. But Donald Trump came along and put
    an end to that.

    Point is, regardless of political affiliation, these are men who
    practiced their faith, same as those in their community.

    All are pro-life.

    Are you Catholic? I know you're not pro-life. (We've had that discussion
    before.)

    Catholics and non-Catholics, Christians and non-Christians, are
    pro-life. Most of them, anyway. Only a small handful of people are
    anti-life. I mean, most folks want to live, and want others to live.
    Not many wanting or wishing others to die.

    I believe in the fundamental worth, dignity, and equality of the
    human person. Of all people, throughout the world. I believe the
    protection of human life is the very foundation of human rights.
    Starting from conception to natural death.

    Is the pope Catholic? I dare say he considers himself as being
    pro-life. Hard to imagine himself not to be.

    Without protection of human life, there can be no human rights,
    authentic freedom, or good government.

    men who are practicing Catholics. Makes no difference what their >LL>political affiliation may be.

    I get what you're saying sorta but if you're Catholic you totally can't vote
    for Democrats - that would be like telling God "I'm knowingly voting for corruption, sex-trafficking, and abortion."

    Everyone, regardless of party affiliation, should be a pro-life
    democrat (little d).

    It should also make no difference as to what religion, if any,
    one subscribes to. Being pro-life is about living, not dying.

    Of course, all Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Greens, etc.
    should be pro-life. That goes without saying.

    What has happened is not all politicians who claim to be pro-life
    are actually pro-life. IOW, they can talk the talk, but refuse to
    walk the walk.

    Like most people, I do not use a single issue as a "litmus test"
    to exclude those who would otherwise seek common good on the expansion
    of human rights.

    Look at the massive crowds who are protesting the actions of a small
    number of police officers. You know as well as I do that most police
    are good officers, and do their best to serve and protect us. They
    do not do this because we are one party or another. They have been
    sworn to serve and protect we the people, even if none belong to any
    party.

    I encourage all people who are committed to the common good to work
    together to protect human life - at all of its stages. Even those who
    are atheist.

    are atheist.

    That's good advice, but some Democrats (Cuomo, Northam) can't lead profitable corrupt political careers if they aren't brutal enough on the unborn; green-haired terrorists simply won't vote for compassion, and neither will
    the deceased.

    I pray for defenseless people; the disabled, crime victims, abused children.
    My compassion for people in those categories is why I pray for Republican victories in elections. Other Catholics would argue that I should also pray
    for the Democrats to overcome their deficiencies in compassion, but it's exhausting enough just praying for the safety of their victims.

    neither will the deceased.

    Like Biden, Cuomo is also Catholic. Like most Catholics, both Biden
    and Cuomo are pro-life, including programs and policies that respect
    and promote life in regards to the issue of abortion.

    Like all pro-life advocates, the politicians you mentioned have
    expressed their own beliefs in regards to their own opposition
    to abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment, embryonic stem cell
    research, and many other matters. And have acted upon those
    beliefs.

    It would be nice if all politicians, regardless of party affiliation,
    were pro-life. But as it stands to day, none truly are. However, it
    appears that most Democrats are more pro-life than Republicans, due
    to the positions they take on economic and social matters/policies.

    I pray for defenseless people; the disabled, crime victims, abused children.

    Talk is cheap. So is praying. However, walking the walk is far
    different than talking the talk.

    My compassion for people in those categories is why I pray for Republican
    victories in elections.

    Donald Trump refuses to wear a mask in public. Donald Trump refuses
    to encourage others to wear a mask in public. Donald Trump will be
    holding a campaign event in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Saturday, with 20,000+
    fans of his not wearing a mask, inside of a closed building.

    That is one of the most irresponsible things I can imagine any
    president doing. Putting not only his own health on the line, but
    also others.

    A truly pro-death president is what we have. Or anti-life.

    Other Catholics would argue that I should also pray for the Democrats to
    overcome their deficiencies in compassion, but it's exhausting enough just praying for the safety of their victims.

    People (regardless of their faith) should argue that everyone
    should pray for all politicians (regardless of party) to overcome
    their own deficiencies in compassion.

    People (regardless of their faith or political affiliation)
    should also do whatever is in their own power to overcome their
    own deficiencies in compassion. Prayer is not enough.

    There are definitely different types of Catholics. Being pro-life is a
    Catholic value. Both Andrew Cuomo and Ralph Northam have sold their souls in favor of not only murder of the unborn, but also murder of newborns shortly after their births. Disgusted? You should be! It's no longer about letting a woman do what she wants with her own body, they're allowing mothers to murder their children minutes after birth!

    Hello Aaron,

    Like Biden, Cuomo is also Catholic. Like most Catholics, both Biden
    and Cuomo are pro-life, including programs and policies that respect

    There are definitely different types of Catholics.

    Both Biden and Cuomo are practicing Catholics. And neither man
    has been excommunicated. Not that there would be any reason.

    Being pro-life is a Catholic value.

    Perhaps the term "whole life" is a better description, as life
    from the moment of conception to natural death is what should be
    considered - not just until the time a life enters this world
    apart from his/her mother. This "whole life" value should be the
    basis of what all believe, not just Catholics.

    Both Andrew Cuomo and Ralph Northam have sold their souls in favor of not
    only murder of the unborn, but also murder of newborns shortly
    after their births.

    Like most politicians (regardless of party) Cuomo and Northam
    are in favor of strong restrictions on abortion, neither being
    in favor of abortion on demand.

    And what gives you the silly idea of both men being in favor of
    infanticide? As far as I know, both men love children. And being
    a single guy, Andrew Cuomo is, well, you know how it is with
    Italian stallions ...

    Disgusted? You should be!

    Why should I be disgusted? Biden and Cuomo are both practicing
    Catholics, and Northram attends a black Baptist church. All of them
    love children, and believe having restrictive laws on abortion is
    the answer rather than abortion on demand.

    It's no longer about letting a woman do what she wants with her own body,
    they're allowing mothers to murder their children minutes after birth!

    There may be groups (such as Planned Parenthood) that advocate
    for abortion on demand and infanticide, but any Catholic politician
    who does so would be excommunicated by his/her own faith. That in
    and of itself should tell you something.

    Talk is cheap. So is praying. However, walking the walk is far >LL>different than talking the talk.

    Praying is exhausting for me, but I do it, and I get results. It works
    better than dishonesty.

    All them folks protesting in the streets are praying the entire
    time. Praying for justice. But the orange one refuses to listen,
    resulting in continued injustice everywhere.

    Donald Trump refuses to wear a mask in public. Donald Trump refuses
    to encourage others to wear a mask in public. Donald Trump will be

    You're asking for a PC president!

    The American people want a president who will actually listen
    to the will of the people and do what they want, rather than doing
    what he wants regardless of what anybody else wants.

    You're not getting one!

    We'll be getting a new one on January 20, 2021.

    When I have a Democrat president, I want minimum damage to the USA - and
    that's an example of me not getting what I want.

    President Joe Biden - a different type of Catholic.

    Feel better?

    After eight years of Bidenisms, you'll be ready for AOC.

    I don't know if you're digging that info up on wikipedia or something, but
    both governors have signed legislation that allows abortion at any stage of pregnancy, including the day the child is born, which is infanticide.

    Andrew Cuomo was re-elected in 2018, after he signed this legislation.
    Democrat voters in NY are in favor of infanticide, or else they're not paying attention.

    Democrat Andrew Cuomo has since expanded his murder rampage from killing infants on their birthdays to killing entire nursing homes with Covid-19. And what about people in-between birth & nursing homes? How does he kill us? Bail reform.

    Total BS. Perhaps you should check the facts, rather than believe
    made-up tales and downright lies your man in orange tells you.

    https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/428873-democrats-are-not-the -party-of-infanticide


    Andrew Cuomo was re-elected in 2018, after he signed this legislation. >Democrat voters in NY are in favor of infanticide, or else they're not

    Cuomo does not see things that way, the people of New York do not
    see things that way, most if not all Democrats do not see things that
    way, and almost all medical professionals do not see things that way.
    What does that tell you?

    Democrat Andrew Cuomo has since expanded his murder rampage from killing
    infants on their birthdays to killing entire nursing homes with Covid-19.
    And what about people in-between birth & nursing homes? How does he kill
    us? Bail reform.

    Yeah. Right. All he needs is a violin to play while New York burns.
    Pay attention to what the facts are, rather than listening to the tales
    of madmen. There is absolutely nothing backing up what Trump & Co.
    claim as being their version of "the truth". Maybe that is why he had
    such a low turnout for his opening campaign event in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
