For Catholics who have labored long and hard to convince themselves that the really bad people live to the right of the dividing line

For Catholics who have labored long and hard to convince themselves that the really bad people live to the right of the dividing line November 10, 2016

I give you this.  Again, I’m fine with the protests.  Free country.  I love the fact that people can peacefully protest without fear of government retribution.  Nonetheless, there are bad apples in every barrel, and that includes the Left.  To illustrate, observe the tweets at the bottom of the linked article.

This is not to say that people who are liberal or Democrats are really the nasty people.  No.  It’s to say that suggesting your politics defines your righteousness is not only borderline heresy, but it’s also damn stupid.  When it comes to sin, we people have a nasty habit of manifesting it no matter what policies we support and what politicians we vote for.

Again, this is a fringe, and no more represents those on the left who oppose Trump than the worst, most vile racist and hateful tweets in support of Trump represented those on the right.  If you’ve based your support for one side based upon one group of people just being better than the other, then you might want to try again.

Oh, one more thing.  It’s from Social Media.  I get that some could argue that these are fake or were really Trump supporters trying to make liberals look bad.  But since that was smacked down as a lame defense for bigotry and hatred whenever it was suggested about the worst pro-Trump tweets, I’ll take the tweets at face value as I was told to do.
