Yes, wingnuts [I think Brits call them "nutters"] like message boards and talk radio! My point is that these folks are a relatively small minority with the RCC, albeit a vocal minority. The political boards of OBOB and the CF generally are the home of the right wing delusional folk.
Again, I'm not saying most Catholics are Republican. I'm saying that online posters and the hardcore fundamentalist Catholics tend to be. I don't think that's an inaccurate or exaggerated statement at all. If you go to any Catholic forum, yes, you'll find a few liberal Catholics, but overall on online forums, the vast, vast majority are the hardcore Republicans, borderline tea partiers. Go to OBOB on here and see the demographics. Go in their political section and tell me what you see.
I'm not sure why you mention the leftie definition. That definition is not an overall American sentiment but rather the reaction of a Tea Party conservative, which I am certainly not. Wanting to tax people who make over $250,000 is fine by me. Problem is, it wasn't for the President; he decided to re-authorize the Bush tax cuts along with the Patriot Act, while continuing the two wars and escalating the Afghan War. There has been more torture under Obama's administration and more terrorists expatriated to be tortured oversees than under Bush oddly enough. I can't figure out why the GOP is so angry at Obama. He's done just about everything they've wanted him to do and has nothing to show for it. I'd vote him out in a New York minute if it weren't for the fact that the Republicans are far, far more dangerous and scary than Obama!
