The real reason US Republicans really, really hate this Pope.

[rdean]

Three Supreme Court Justices didn't even want to know what this Pope had to say.

The Pope talked about helping the poor, why greed is evil, feeding the poor, helping sick people and so on. And he talked about climate change.

It was as if he took a list of everything the GOP is proud of and stands for and then stood up for the opposite. He even talked about immigrants.

Jesus would of helped the poor, sick and would of railed against greed.

And why should the justices have been there if they are not catholic? 6 of the nine are catholic and three of them attended the mass.

Scalia, Thomas, and Alito skip the speech and Ginsberg fell asleep

Alito and Breyer were out of town on prescheduled engagements

Scalia I think might be opus dei. Kagan is pro-choice

op quote: "The Pope talked about helping the poor"

How many times do I have to say this:
Sometimes what seems good is not what's best. Sometimes people with ego and hate for opposing views are arrogantly boasting about their doing good but it's never what is best and their arrogance blinds them from noticing or learning why.

In trying to help the poor the people thinking they are helping have caused them dependancy and opposite our created purpose to be all we could and should be, thus keeping us from being whole (Shalem). They are anti existance while thinking they are pro existance.
By being socially just they are taking away the drive and Essence that developes and fuels motivation and self worth and that takes away from the abundance that allows jobs, greater incoming taxes=spuring grwater ability to assist, growth, investment returns, food, commodities, supplies & convenience. You end up poorer for your social awareness creating more volumes and depths of poor and starvation.
See Russia and China and Cuba as examples.
Hence doing good is not always what's best. Dems don't think deeply, they only react while using the few brain cell that's left after smoking all that weed.
Damn Hippies.

It's been pretty amusing watching the hardcore partisan ideologues from both sides react to this guy.

The hardcore right wing partisan ideologues have been stumbling all over themselves trying to deal with this Pope's anti-GOP positions.

The hardcore left wing partisan ideologues like you have been so aggressive in suddenly quoting the biggest figure in Christianity, a religion they attack so regularly.

And the funniest part of all has been the reinforcement of how similar the two ridiculous ends of our political spectrum are. And you guys don't even see it.

The real reason anyone hates the Pope is he's saying everything Jesus used to and is arguably the most influential person alive.

Until this Pope, religion was getting used as a scam to rip people off and control them wholely ignoring everything Jesus actually taught. Now comes a Pope who's morein-line wiht Jesus and that pisses everybody off who was simply using religious faith as a means to influence people and take their money.

Although I'm not religious, I empathize with the humanistic issues Pope Francis addresses.

So, just ignore the cycle of poverty patterns?
That's easy ... if you really don't care.

This has become the conservative way of viewing and talking about the world, dishonesty. Pretend to not understand the premise or purposely ignore and obfuscate it and substitute an outright lie and say it as if it were always true. This is THE bedrock principle on which con-media and Faux News are built.

Conservatism has lost the debate in the public square so has willingly and gleefully given up on using truth, fact, and their honest worldview and instead use innuendo, lies, Strawmen, and Red Herrings as the go to source for public discourse.

It reveals a fatalistic mentality. Conservatives have lost and they know they have lost, so all options are now viable to try to win ANYTHING.

Either rub two brain cells together and find a truthful argument or move on to something else. Stop with this mealy-mouthed mush-ball faint at a lie and trying to carry it as fact.

You are only fooling yourselves and each other.

Not really. Republicans think giving money to their local church which gives money to people they know is such good "charity".

Democrats give money for scholarships and give to colleges and universities. That is not really considered "charity". Republicans think education is for snobs but want people to take "free stuff". They rail against free stuff but that's the only way they know how to give. And I suspect many Republicans give away clothes and shoes with holes.
Democrats want to help people to earn a degree so they can make good money. Republicans fight for minimum wage jobs against unskilled immigrants.

so you think going with the more popular leftist ideals isn't an attempt to regain power and money.

churches are not counted as charity

and dems keep people poor, mostly minorities, if this wasn't true fewer ghettos would be filled with minorities.


look at reality, if you can.

Even if everything you said wasnt nonsense, it doesn't change the fact that he didn't mention Christ is his speech. Why you think it does, I don't know.
