(26,314 posts)Closely followed by intolerance for warmongering imperialism but maybe I have that backward.
There is no comparison to the priority and level of progress on fairness versus poverty and workers rights.
I hear what you are saying and no doubt there is merit but there is a level of stridently that almost feels like all other issues must be made secondary to the point of exclusion.
We are losing huge in the arena where this Pope is speaking out, far beyond where even most Democrats are willing to go, this isn't any infighting between conservatives, we are talking about the gulf between the haves and have not here. Who starves, who is homeless, who is sick and is left to sufrer, who has dreams never fulfilled, who has opportunity, who knows safety.
It is about will the many have choices and opportunities, not just theoretical legal standing regardless of race, orientation, gender, religious background or what have you.
Economics is not a check on an issues sheet, it is nearly all pervasive and impacts all types of folks.
To be blunt, I also think it is possible you aren't being fair and forthright because I bet you'd take, encourage, and cheer help for your priorities from the most right wing corners.
