What ' s Keith Ellison ' s past ? <| sep |> I mean racism is fucking terrible but it ' s more complicated than skin color it ' s different culture , beliefs , xenophobia , etc . <| sep |> A good example but what does conservative mean and what does liberal mean ? For example I am a Roman Catholic who attends a regular mass just like I assume most American Catholics do . I also would say that I follow the church ' s teaching to the letter , especially on abortion and euthanasia and state sanctioned gay marriage as well as things like the church ' s rules on divorce and remarriage . However I also am someone who understands things can be messy and at times we need to judge people according to their situations . For example , it would be kind of unfair to fire a person with an intellectual disability for stealing if they are unaware that all forms of stealing are wrong and can ' t grasp the concept , where as it would also be unfair for a mentally normal man to say Well so and so stole so why can ' t I . Anyway back to main point . To most , I may be a conservative , but some would argue with my last statement or the fact that I attend that wretched mass of the people that i ' m a liberal or not a real Catholic . Also where does the line get drawn ? Is a TLM attending man who decides the death penalty is wrong along with abortion and other social issues a liberal since he thinks it is wrong to kill no matter what ? Does a Novus Ordo attendee who has doubts about Francis as pope become a conservative ? I guess I just need more clarification . The divorce thing with Francis is troubling in my opinion but being wrong on one thing doesn ' t make you some evil satanic antipope , nor does being Pope make everything you do right . I will say the best thing he could do would be to answer the dubia , but instead we will get liberals defending him and those considered conservative painting him as Frank the Hippie pope
