    Imagine investing your life savings to open a grocery store, only to be told by an elitist that you're gonna either 1) pull an all-nighter
    every night or 2) trust employees with millions of dollars worth of
    your merchandise while you sleep.

    That wasn't the "close" I was referring to.

    It's closer to:
    Imagine investing your life savings to open a grocery store. Only to be robbed every day by "customers" and employees. The paying customers stay away because of the crime. So you reach a point where the store is now a money pit and you are going to close the business and move elsewhere, only to have the mayor dictate that you can't do that and you have to keep the store open and keep losing money.

    Leftoids cannot comprehend Reality.

    We've got to fight for our freedom every day.

    That's always been the case. We forgot that and that's how the situation today came about.

    Not allow them to permanently close their store? That's even more awful. It always seemed like a smart idea to run a business in a big city, but not anymore.

    I was agreeing with Joe that churches need to stay out of politics. In
    my case it's the Catholic church. They get a large group of us together for mass, and they con us into praying for illegal immigrants.


    You can still pray... Pray that the ILLEGALS accept the $1,000.00 and the ticket to go home.

    When they go home their family can bring them in to the country legally...

    BTW, TODAY I helped an other Canadian file to bring their son into the US. I love Legal Immigration.

    Pray that the Illegal thugs get caught before they rape any more women and children.

    Pray that the Illegal thugs that bring in and sell Fentanyl that kills 100s or thousands of Americans each year get arrested and are forced to have anal sex with other inmates in prison get caught...

    Pray that ICE finds these thugs and deports them all without any of the Agents getting hurt.

    Pray that these Illegals go home and fight for the right to have a wonderful and free government like we have in the west.

    I can go on and on... Pray for President Trump!!!


    This is in addition to them taking our donations and spending some of
    the money on attorneys for illegal immigrants.


    @Aarron, the Catholic Church has been kept alive for decades and decades. They went from preaching ideas that you could find helpful in life to opening NGOs that helped Illegal Immigration activities to a nice fat check from the federal government for Billions and Billions.

    There was someone from the Vatican complaining about Trump's Immigration policies... He should Shut the FU ... keep their nose out of things ... start preaching useful stuff and get your money from donations and not NGOs.

    Nope. A long time ago it was a smart idea. All that traffic. If only 10% buys something from your
    store, you are going to do good.

    But now cities are Blue crime areas. If you sell alcohol, you'll have an islam yelling at you. You have to keep everything locked down or you'll be robbed. And now the Elitists want to control your business (which, interesting, is the very definition of "fascism" that they like to labels others with).

    Let's not get too comfortable! We need to pack our cars full of smart people every election.

    More. We need to train our kids on how to recognize the infiltration and stop it before it starts.

    The Catholic Church was always about power. They are one of the founding Elitist groups.

    But they knew that pushing too hard would cause people to rise up against them, so they did the longer term, softly pushing.

    But then other Elitist groups came up, took away their flocks, and the Church had to start playing the game too. In some cases, working with the other Elitist groups.

    Organized religion is the creation of Man for controlling Man.
    Churches get away with it for the most part, because many in the church actually do want to help others selflessly. But the church itself exists to control others.

    Yea, they are nuts. If they have enough money to pay the electric bill, the water bill, and the priest's salary, then any surplus should be returned to the parishioners; not wasted on things that are hazardous to our health like illegal immigrant attorneys.

    Anyone can talk to the priests but they don't seek our input. They get some money from us, but I think most of their money comes from the Vatican, and officials from the Vatican tell the priest to spend it however he sees fit, which is part of the ridiculousness. (Have you ever had a job like that?)

    Praying is excellent, praying in groups is great too, but pooling money without a clear expectation of where it's going is bad.
