Governor Plain Speaks Out On Immigration Reform (Catholic Social Justice Double Standard)

Pro Ecclesia has the link at Gov. Palin Supports Path to Citizenship for Undocumented Aliens .

Yes I know this will make certain heads explode in the GOP. Oh well according to gop exit polls in the primary about 50 percent of us are jut fine with it.

Pro - Ecclesia points out

This will lose her some support from some Catholics on the right (take it up with the Bishops, folks), but kudos to Gov. Palin. By the way, don't look for her to get any credit for her stance from the Usual Suspects on the Catholic left, either.

Yep that is true. In fact on all the Catholic Progressive sites and where the issue of Catholic Social Justice issue are discussed immigration is rarely mentioned. Why is that? Is it because McCain led the fight on it? Is it not sort of relevant since besides abortion it was the leading Catholic Social Justice Issue of the decade? Is it because if we get to far into the weeds of this debate we find out that Obama at the request of Unions killed it with a Poison pill.

The immigration issue has opened my eyes to how much many Catholic Social Justice Advocates are in the Democrat weeds. When the leading Republican that has been fighting this battle in the House ( and also fighting some extreme forces that have other agendas besides the illegals) Chris Cannon goes down there is a hardly a peep. How is Senator Graham in SC doing that led the fight too? They don't care. He is not on their radar. Senator Brownback isn't either. I could go on and on.


It was largely this issue that told me what I was hearing from the Catholic Left was often just a much of balderdash.

By the way Mitt Romney in the primary hit John McCain over the head with this issue in a million places. It was part of the discussion. It should be noted that Prof Kmiec (now well noted Obama Catholic hack) that is always talking about Catholic Social Justice Issues and how we should vote for Obama supported ROMNEY!! Again what is up with that!!

SO despite being lectured for the 1,000,000 time how we Republicans that are Catholics are doing something wrong and that we are PUTTING ALL OUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET (this is really not true)we see Catholic Social Justice Catholics in the political square doing what they are pontificiating against.

Again a case of not walking the talk.

Palin on the blogs and in the conservative pres will get hammered on this. However in the Catholic press there will be sadly little discussion
