KELLY OCONNELL SHOW: Why Catholics Chose Trump

Obama continues to hemorrhage his failed ideas out upon the once-trusting American populace and betray this great land with more inane socialism and AGW. Now he demands we not drill in the arctic. Of course, most Americans want cheaper fuel and energy independence. Further, we rate GW the least important issue in poll after poll, despite the fact the easily mislead Barack says it’s a greater threat than ISIS or radical Islam.

Further evidence why Americans preferred Trump -- Catholics chose him. Here's why:

First off, the church is catholic in the small-c sense, meaning universal and composed of just about every ethnic group. James Joyce saw this, and thought the church’s motto should be “Here comes everybody.” That was Trump’s motto, too. Indeed, it was the Democrats who practiced the politics of division. In private comments, leading Democrats ridiculed Catholics, and in an exchange with SCt J Samuel Alito, President Obama’s solicitor general suggested faithful Catholic and religious colleges lose federal funds

Hillary Clinton herself said our legal system must reform “deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases” to ensure ready access to abortion. Then when the choice was put to the Democratic presidential candidates, they all picked BLM over All Lives Matter, with the exception of Jim Webb

Second, like Trump supporters, Catholics are patriotic and strongly attracted to the call to “make America great again.” They don’t think they need apologize to anyone for their country, and they don’t like what’s happened to American history as it’s taught in our schools and universities. Third, lay Catholics, at least the nonintellectuals, aren’t the prisoners of political ideology. They’re looking for policies that speak to the concerns of ordinary Americans, things that work, not abstract theories
