    There oughta be a poll:

    1. On a scale of 1-5 with 5 being most favorable, please rate Obamacare.
    2. On a scale of 1-5 with 5 being most favorable, please rate the ACA.
    3. Did you know that Obmacare and the ACA are the same thing?

    No changing of answers to 1 and 2.

      A majority of US Catholics are Hispanic. The prejudiced answer is that a majority of the majority are here in less than legal circumstances.

      December 12 is a huge day in the Catholic Church particularly on those of Hispanic/Mexican decent. The processions are YUGE!!

        If you are going to assert your ridiculously dumb-a s s false equivalencies, find some actual facts to back up your claim you steaming bigoted moron. As of 2015 the Pew Research Center estimates approximately 34% of US Catholics identify as Latin/Hispanic and 59% identify as non-Hispanic White. Bannon's statement was anti-Catholic, anti-Hispanic and highly bigoted. That you can find any measure of defense of it worth posting tells me you suffer from the same weaknesses and sickness that Bannon suffers from.

          He probably should have said that "a majority of Hispanics in the US identify as Catholic." I have no idea if that is true, but I would guess it's closer to the truth than what he actually said.

            He did not so I take his post at face value. While true that the majority of US Hispanics identify as Catholic, even that likely won't be true in a few more years. As recently as a decade ago, 2/3rds claimed Catholicism as their religion but recent polls put the number at 55%.

              My bad, I should have said a plurality of American Catholics identify as Hispanic, I've seen #s as high as 38% and growing.

              Meanwhile, the blatant anti-Catholic questioning by Sens. Feinstein and Durbin of judicial nominee Amy Barrett was left unreported. The quote of the day comes from Sen. Feinstein who said, "The dogma lives loudly within you."

              I seem to recall that religious tests to hold public office are just a bit unconstitutional.

                Not unreported if you know about it. I saw it in a number of places.

                Why do people post things are not reported when they wouldn't know about them unless they were reported? That drives me crazy. Who decided it was unreported? Obviously someone telling you it hasn't been reported and they are reporting it now so you can be outraged. People falling for that BS make me nuts. /end rant.

                  Which is still inaccurate, since 59% > 38%, so the 38% is a minority, not a plurality. A plurality is something that is under 50% but still the largest group.

                    It's not anti-Catholic when the nominee herself has stated that judges should make some decisions based on their faith, and not the Constitution or the laws of the country. She's the one who invited the Senate to make an issue of her faith, and how it would play into her decisions as a judge.

                            Maybe you should try reading news sites that are a bit more mainstream...I know for a fact it was covered.

                            But of course you only care because the poor Catholic had to face questions about it...if it had been anything else you wouldnt even bat an eye.

                              So some groups can only care about colored folks? But joe can't care about Catholic folks?

                                joe doesnt care...the Constitution only matters when it protects the things he cares about. For everything else God has the only say. Personally I think any judge who even hints they rely on the Bible for their rulings should be disqualified.

                                Brings p an interesting question though...can you claim persecution when you are screaming at the top of your lungs "Hey persecute me!"
