The Democrats are working very hard to lose Catholic votes in the Rust Belt.

Catholic farmer posts explanation for his opposition to gay marriage and is banned by City of East Lansing from selling farm products at City's farmer's market.

There is an excellent Section 1983 case here.

They are doing their best.

Democrats give away the Rust Belt by alienating Catholics

//OHIO VALLEY — A clip of Martha Plimpton's exuberance over the "best" abortion she ever had played out on the television overhead of a gas-station counter somewhere along U.S. Route 422 between Ohio and Pennsylvania.

A woman with a name tag noting her as the manager rolled her eyes and said to no one in particular as she went about stacking the shelves behind the counter, "And they wonder why people don't vote for Democrats around here anymore."

Plimpton, 46, is best known for her role in the 1980's Steven Spielberg classic kid adventure movie "The Goonies." She made her remark in an interview with Dr. Willie Parker at a #ShoutYourAbortion event in Seattle in June.

After saying Seattle was the home of some of her family, she went on to cheer what she did in her teens: "I also had my first abortion at the Seattle Planned Parenthood. Yay!"

With equal exuberance, she also revealed her Seattle abortion wasn't her last.

Actions like Plimpton's do not help the Democratic cause in achieving power and influence back in Washington, D.C. At least not with Main Street voters. Nor does it help Democrats win local races.

"Democrats used to debate the legal right to have one, and that was a point of view that was shared by most voters," said Michael Wear, a theologically conservative evangelical Christian and Democrat who served in Barack Obama's faith outreach office in the White House.

"I don't understand why, 14 months before a midterm election, why would you push 20 percent of voters who would love to support Democrats out the door? Better yet, why would you speak of pro-life Democrats as though they were some extraterrestrial who just landed on earth?" he said.//

Catholics....you are a hate group.

And you will be crushed....If the Southern Poverty Law Center and the tolerant Left has its way.

//One more small but significant step in making it hard for orthodox Christians to buy and sell in America:

Vanco Payment Solutions has cut off services from a Louisiana-based Christian ministry, citing the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Hate Map,” which accuses the ministry of promoting “hate, violence, harassment and/or abuse.”

Jennifer Roback Morse, founder and president of the Ruth Institute, told The Christian Post on Friday that her organization received a message Thursday around 2 p.m. that the online payment processing company had opted to discontinue their relationship.

The Ruth Institute is a Catholic nonprofit based in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and was “flagged by Card Brands as being affiliated with a product/service that promotes hate, violence, harassment and/or abuse,” Morse explained to CP.

“Merchants that display such attributes are against Vanco and Wells Fargo processing policies,” Vanco’s correspondence read.

Morse commented, “The Ruth Institute’s primary focus is family breakdown and its impact on children: understanding it, healing it, ending it. If this makes us a ‘hate group,’ so be it.”

Here’s a link to the Ruth Institute’s “About” page. It’s basically about advocating for traditional marriage, family, and sexual standards. That’s now hate? Why, yes, according to the despicable Southern Poverty Law Center, which says, in part:

Roback Morse … has used Catholic doctrine to assert that LGBT people are “intrinsically disordered” and that they should remain celibate (or leave the “gay lifestyle”) and not act on their attractions.

The woman believes what her church, the Roman Catholic Church, teaches about homosexuality. That makes her a hater. That makes the Roman Catholic Church a hate organization, according to SPLC’s expansive definition.//

Leftism's War on History.

You didn't think that fourth graders wouldn't get away without learning to despise Catholicism, did you?

//The fourth-grade tradition of building a California mission out of Popsicle sticks and sugar cubes is being pushed aside by the state as history lessons change to reflect all cultures and more accurately depict the past.

A new framework for the curriculum at K-12 public schools means less research into the floor plans of the mission at say San Juan Capistrano, and more time looking at what life was like for both the missionaries and the native people of California.

"What are students learning by building model missions?" asks Nancy McTygue, executive director of California History-Social Science Project and one of the lead writers of the new framework. "I don't think the mission project has taught students about a very difficult time in our nation's history."

McTygue adds: "Building a mission doesn't really teach anything of substance about the period and it's offensive to many. Attention should focus on the daily experience of missions rather than the building structures themselves."//

Body language maven channels her inner bigot.

I don't know what to make of this, but the commentary is ungracious and ignorant.  Apparently, a billion of Catholic worship the pope, Catholic women are submissive, and they weirdly wear lace and look like they are at a funeral.

All very significant.

The Swiss Guard are clowns and the Catholic entourage are the "Klan."



Apparently, it wasn't weird to wear black lace prior to 2017.

At least the vblogger admits that she is coming from a place of bigotry.

One just never knows when this kind of ingrained prejudice is going to crop up.

Want more Trump?

Want worse than Trump?

This is how you do it.

Practicing Catholics banned from City facilities because of adherence to Catholic beliefs.

//Michigan farmer Steve Tennes and his family have been told that they can't sell their crops at a local farmers market due to their views on same-sex marriage, and now they're suing the city of East Lansing.

Last year, someone posted a message on Country Mill Farm’s Facebook page inquiring about whether they hosted same-sex weddings at the farm.

Tennes, a devout Catholic, told the individual that they did not because of their religious beliefs.

City officials later discovered the Facebook post and began immediate action to remove Country Mill from the farmers market, alleging a violation of the city’s discrimination ordinance.

On "The Story" tonight, Tennes, accompanied by his lawyer Kristen Waggoner, explained that the city changed the wording of the ordinance specifically to bar his farm.//
