Okay, anguish is maybe a bit harsh. Whenever a political race, presidential in particular, rolls around those of us who identify as devoutly Catholic have a problem. As said in a previous post I classify myself as a Social Justice Catholic. Most of your run-of-the-mill Orthodox Catholics would say I was going to hell because I "vote pro-abortion".
The deal is that you must vote for the person who is Pro-Life because proportionally more people have died from abortions since legalization in 1973 (43 million) than any other reason (read Iraq War, Death Penalty, Poverty (hmmm), etc.) (will write more about Pro-Life another time).....
And so....according to many people I associate with (some because I like and some because of work) there is no reasonable reason that I should support Obama (my democrat of choice this year). So for the most part I keep my opinion to myself (I'm sure people who really know me know my choice). I've grown to resent the fact that I'm for all intents and purposes not able to be political but more conservative people can be. My train of thought is de-railing...I'll continue later.
