    I think its fantastic that after he addresses Congress , he is going to go feed and eat with the homeless in DC. Instead of have lunch with the party leaders from both sides of the aisle as well as both chambers.

    righties will say he is just posturing because the world is watching.

    isn't cognitive dissonance great??

    Yes, some will say that, despite the fact that for many years he has primarily ministered to the poor rather than the privileged.

    I wonder how right wing catholics reconcile their beliefs with the Pope's message? There has to be a lot of conflict there.

    I'm hoping a turning point for many.

    I would hope there would be a lot of conflict for any American Catholic who is living in the current century. How do left wing Catholics reconcile their beliefs with the church's doctrines (gay marriage, reproductive rights, gender equality, etc...)?

    same as any other christian sect. they don't follow the parts of the bible that they don't like.

    I am of the faith to not argue.
    My religion is called "God"
    It has a nice ring, people in general seem to like it and its catchy.
    Please don't argue with me as I am god.

    Welp, Boehner resigning. Things are about to get a lot more crazy.

    Cliffy, my husband just told me about that. I asked him why and he said "because he's a dick".

    I would love to see Boehner actually say those words.

    Maybe he had a revelation of conscious after meeting the Pope yesterday. He did look really moved by it.

    If he was, I would rather him stay and try and be a force for good.

    funny how the republicans have turned on the pope.


    They would actually be the group screaming in favor of the crucifixion of Jesus. Funny how they have literally become the modern day Pharisees...

    social conservatives sure care a lot about what other people are doing...and they sure believe that EVERYTHING in the world has more control over their kids behavior than they do...I guess if you, yourself, can't behave with any semblance of consistency how on earth can you trust your kids to behave when you are their model?

    Meanwhile, there has to be at least one person in the group who uses puppets as sex toys during gay orgies. These groups are full of pathetic hypocrites who are trying to "cure" what they consider their own sexual deviances (I am not suggesting that being gay is deviant, of course). Same thing with priests.

    See??! You guys can't help but tarnish the good name that is Jesus h Christ!

    The h is for holiness
    you know what people should be offended by?

    your avatar.

    seriously, has anybody here clicked on your name and looked at it up close?

    if not, it contains cosby wearing a confederate flag dress, jared from subway, obama, guns, planned parenthood logo, and a lion holding a massive double headed marital aid.

    jesus would probably be ashamed. embarrassed at least.

    they have done just that mike. i completely agree with you.

    i am actually sad to see it happen.

    good to see you around here. the train has sorely missed your contributions.

    hope all is well with you, man.

    i agree with this too. i have never, ever, liked boehner. i do respect him for standing up to the crazies in his party. i think he saw the writing on the wall that the tea party was going to take over the house and he could not stop them. to be honest, i am kind of surprised he made it this long. but at the same time, he should finish out his elected term, otherwise he is the new sarah palin. i would rather not run again, rather than be forced out by the moron faction of my own party.

    maybe he saw the writing on the electoral wall that the gop is going to lose in 2016 and he did not want to be the man responsible for it. maybe he would rather hand his successor the knife and let them cut their own wrist.

    Good grief! Almost thought it was The Onion for a minute. Seems like a lot of the world is Onion like these days. Sometime not sure whether to laugh or puke. Craziness!
