Misquoting there, Ben. Sorry, your a second class Catholic and always shall be.


Actually, not sorry. You fool!

Really Ben. You're no different than those Indian babies you're so happy were killed.

The 'common opinion' is that Henry VIII was a bastard who seized property and executed a number of Catholics. Elizabeth was considerably more moderate and managed to not spill huge amounts of blood despite living in incredibly dangerous and unsettled times.

Which is why the common opinion is often wrong.

The thing is though, none of this matters. The actions of long dead monarchs don't affect you

To which I argue, I follow a religion founded 2000 years ago, not 500. Perhaps to you it doesn't matter, but history matters to me.

don't affect your beliefs or your church.

Being told that the founder of your religion executed faithful Catholics, going through the evidence and finding that to be true, doesn't leave you much to go on. I left when I was 19. Never looked back. Eventually found myself in Catholicism 5 years later.

The church themselves don't even try and defend the violence of those days, because it's indefensible.

What, the COE? No, they simply claim that the Catholic church didn't exist at that point in time! That therefore, there was no one to execute because they weren't there.

You ask why this pisses me off so - this is why. Yes, the Catholic church in England existed prior to Mary.

For a 'historian' perhaps you should actually pay some damn attention to dates now and again.

What about it? The fact that they chose not to disclose the party memberships was very telling. Most textbooks on this are silent, if they aren't too busy getting LBJ's dick out of their mouths.

I assume you actually know when the Civil Rights bill passed?

I assume you know it was passed by Republicans?

Stop being a damn idiot. The result of the Southern Strategy was that over 90% of blacks left the Republican party. Gosh, why do you imagine that might be?

Because LBJ offered them money through the 'War on Poverty'?

That second troll was actually kind of clever. These are just dumb.

Dear god, you're pathetic. I give up, enjoy everyone hating your guts and keep telling yourself it's all because you're a poor innocent victim. I'm done.

Denial is a funny thing.

Internet forums are a funny thing.

Democrat perceived support for minorities is contrary to their support for abortion rights and for Planned Parenthood, which disproportionately targets minorities and black people. Abortion ratios bare this out, and it is part of the reason that black people are only 10 percent of the population, and their share is declining.

What the hell? Blacks as a share of the population have been increasing since the 1930's.

Blacks were 12.6% of the American population in 2010. In, say, 1970 blacks were 11.1% of the population.
The ONLY way you could have posted such misinformation is if you just pulled it out of your ass without bothering to even check, or simply lied knowing full well it was wrong. No wonder almost everyone is tired of your bull****.

But yeah, I'm sure the Democrats are conspiring to kill off a demographic that solidly supports Democrats......

Ben is my friend. I don't agree with him on anything of course, but it's more fun to have friends like that.
