On second thought, the K of C is mostly made up of old white men

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

and that's the demographic that typically votes republican (not exclusively, of course)

1. The K of C ?

What does it mean? The Kingdom of Crapistan?

[vi5]

2. What prompted this?

I'm assuming you are referring to the Knights of Columbus?

My dad used to belong there, although strangely enough it was when he was in his twenties (He's in his mid 50's now). I don't remember when or why he stopped being a member.

3. Bush made a speech at the Knights of Columbus conventuion in Dallas

Though they claim to be non-partisan it was a fucking political rally with chants of "4 more years" and everything. :puke:

4. You ought to know by now

that Bush only plays to enthusiastic, supportive audiences.

5. If I'm not mistaken they are ver pro-life.....

I'm stretching the catacombs of my memory here, but I think that my dad's friends who are still involved in K of C are extremely pro-life. I'm sure that also factors into it. It may have even factored into why he stopped digging on that scene as well.

7. If I'm not mistaken, Knights of Columbus is a Catholica organization

I've heard Bush is going hard-core after the Catholic vote. Particularly since Kerry is Catholic.

8. they are also the assholes who pushed "Under God" into the Pledge

They hate our freedom.

[spooked]

6. check out theses pics of his K of C visit...sickening

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

9. UGH!!!!

:puke: :puke: :puke:

10. Ask yourself one key question, Chavez:

Would you be seen in public in a hat only Horatio Hornblower could love? ;-)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

12. I always wanted to be in a parade

and the swords are cool. However, my principles are cooler.

13. OK that first one, is straight out of The Omen pt. 3.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

14. Agreed!

:scared:

11. He fits right in

Doesn't he look the same ugly but comfortable

15. the other thread disappeared

so i'll repost my comments here:

I heard about Bu$hler speaking to the K of C on NPR this morning. My stomach literally dropped when I heard Bush introduced as having "restored morality" to our country, and the place erupted into cheers. What planet do these people live on where uneccessary murder and lying about absolutely everything is considered moral as long as you're against choice and gays?

I say find a more all-encompassing org. to give your time, energy and money to. The Knights of Columbus sound like they're to the right of the Baptists. If many of their members take a stand against what they are promoting with their pro-Bu$h rhetoric, they will hopefully take another look at what they're espousing.
