As polling continues to show minority Catholics strongly favoring Senator Barack Obama and white Catholics closely divided between McCain and Obama (Palin has not helped McCain with Catholics the way she has with white Protestants), one other part of the Catholic community should be noted for its support for the Obama - Biden campaign.
While the McCain campaign as targeted its Catholic outreach exclusively on conservative Catholics, Obama continues to reach out to Catholics of all sorts. A particular success has been on Catholic college campuses. One large Catholic university with a student body that probably leans slightly conservative has an active and engaged campus group for Obama. There has been practically no outreach from the McCain campaign.
Kings College, a Catholic school in Wilkes-Barre (PA), have had a student group for Obama since last February. Student leaders say their classmates are opposed to the Bush-McCain policies in Iraq and that with Obama "we have a man that has been honest, he has integrity and promises that he is going to change things.”
The University of Notre Dame has one of the most active student groups for Obama and recent polling shows Obama only a few points behind in Indiana, usually a rock-ribbed Republican state.
St. Joseph's University (PA) Obama supporters can be reached at http://us.mc559.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=SJUforBarack@gmail.com

Mercy College (IA), St. Ambrose (IA), DePaul (IA), Loyola (IL), Benedictine College (KS), Loyola (LA), Loyola (OH), Assumption (MA), Boston College, College of Holy Cross (MA), Loyola College (MD), St. Joseph's College (ME), St. Thomas University (MN), St. Louis University (MO), Carroll College (MT), Creighton University (NE), St. Anselm College (NH), Seton Hall (NJ -- see link to left), Fordham, Iona College, Mt.

How do any of these groups on college campuses really represent Catholic values when once again, they advocate a pro-abortion stance. None of these schools follow Catholic teaching and doctrine.
I go to St. Ambrose IA and I know that we don't really teach Catholic Social Teaching, but we take what we want and use it, and thats perfectly ok. I don't think ND, Georgetown, St. Louis, or any of these other schools listed at Catholic Schools, but Catholic In Name Only.
McCain-Palin have great organizations at other Catholic schools, which of course are failed to me mentioned on this blog.

They don't. And check this out:
"The University of Notre Dame has one of the most active student groups for Obama.... "
Does that suprise anyone? Notre Dame has long been known more for it's Marxist philosophy than for anything that represents Catholicism.
I am confused.....is this something to be proud of????
"I am confused.....is this something to be proud of????"
Yes, it is. They're being taught to think critically and independently, and that's what they're doing. Most parents, I would think, would be very proud of that.
DEMO SAID: "Yes, it is. They're being taught to think critically and independently, and that's what they're doing."
Now how would you know since you don't think critically nor independently. You are a political "science" major. Remember? You were programmed to think and act like a Marxist and that's exactly how you think and act.
There is no such thing as political science. It's not scientific. It doesn't follow any kind of scientific model. It's based only on socialism. I have worked with hundreds of political "science" majors as my students. They have been indoctrinated to believe in a certain way just like you Demo. They all have beleived the propaganda that was spoon fed to them and they have learned to speak with the same rhetoric as any other communist. Like you they have no clue as to who Aristotle is nor do they know why democracy is evil. They all believe that Marxism is a valid system.
Politics is merely a system of brown nosing into higher positions of power by fraud, deception, and manipulation. It is also built on methods of coercion, propaganda, and indoctrination. It is systematic not scientific. It is a fraud in and of itself.
You also believe in evolution don't you? It's another non science being touted as science. It's all fraud, but Marxism, atheism, and socialism cannot exist without it. It's all propaganda. I can prove it.
"I have worked with hundreds of political "science" majors as my students."
With ever-failing memory like yours, how is it possible you have students?
"With ever-failing memory like yours, how is it possible you have students?"
I have forgotten more than you will ever know.
Now answer my questions you ignoramus.
"I have forgotten more than you will ever know."
Probably. You can't even remember a conversation we had two days ago. Keep on forgetting.
"Probably."
Not probably.
"You can't even remember a conversation we had two days ago. Keep on forgetting."
Well you keep forgetting the conversation we just had. Now tell me about your position on evolution since you can't comment on what I have said about your nitwit degree.

Sorry, those who invoke "Intelligent Design Theory" will have to find another in, besides me, to enter conversation in this forum.
I have my hands full handling retards. I'm not also handling cultists.
