Skolnick Posted July 15, 2018 at 07:12 PM Share Posted July 15, 2018 at 07:12 PM Calling him Fr Flakey IS disrespectful and intended to be so... it would be good if we, as a community, kept with proper names rather than being disrespectful of those we disagreed with ... For those of you old enough to remember, Mike Royko's constant use of "Governor Moonbeam" and "Jesse Jetstream" was disrespectful and intended to be so. Should Royko have been restricted to using proper names? How about Trump's use of "Pocahontas"? Is name calling the last refuge of a mental midget with no rational position to espouse or defend, or can it be the product of a political mastermind capable of reducing a tedious concept into a memorable word, or two?

Tango7 Posted July 15, 2018 at 10:33 PM Share Posted July 15, 2018 at 10:33 PM FWIW I was always respectful in my tone when I discussed - and countered - supporters of President Obama's policies. Since 1/20/18 I cannot say the same about them today. As far as referring to Pfleger with respect, when a member of the clergy grandstands in the political arena he has left the pulpit for the podium. When a "priest" calls for murder for people conducting a business he dislikes he has abandoned the tenets of (essentially all) Christian doctrine, and any respect that should be rendered to someone in his position. And that's not even addressing Pfleger, Cupich and the other USCCB/AUSCP types demanding that we be rendered helpless victims, unable to protect the G-d given gift that is our lives in accordance with Catechism.

I totally appreciate your restraint on Obama, Tango. The same could never be said of many Trump supporters or even plain old Obama haters for 8 years. I'm just saying that backroom names lead to a slip of the tongue on TV.That makes our side look bad.We don't need that distraction. Is name calling the last refuge of a mental midget with no rational position to espouse or defend... Name calling, even in private is bad practice.

tricolor Posted July 16, 2018 at 03:03 PM Share Posted July 16, 2018 at 03:03 PM We should give The Good Father Pfleger as much respect as he gives the NRA and firearms owners. Agreed. Why are we concerned about respecting someone that has publicly called for violence against us, specifically that we be "snuffed out?" Why are we concerned about respecting someone who advocates criminalizing us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chargermick Posted July 17, 2018 at 12:28 AM Share Posted July 17, 2018 at 12:28 AM Being a catholic it pains me to speak disrespectfully about a priest, but Father Pfleger is truly a grand stander. It also pains me to see a priest lie. I would be ok with the grandstanding if it actually acclomplished something other than getting his face on t.v. If he really wants affect change, he should be standing at the pulpit every Sunday, telling his congregation how THEY can make their neighborhood safer. Start with, many people in the pews know exactly who was involved in the shootings on the street, it's time to start calling the police and getting these criminals and GUNS off the street. This would be far more productive than any march could ever be. This is what happens in the so called safe neighborhoods! Tell your congregation to stop viewing the police as the enemy and start helping them to make YOUR neighborhood safer. This is how he and his congregation can really make things change.

DonP Posted July 17, 2018 at 04:10 PM Share Posted July 17, 2018 at 04:10 PM to me it is obvious that flakey is out of touch with reality.i think he might be mentally ill. Aren't all Christians mentally ill? Probably not the Lutheran church groups I just finished qualifying for the carry permits.
