Pope's Visit to New York Offensive to Main Street Americans

Time for Pope and Illegal Aliens To Go Home

Pope Francis continues to tell us Legal Americans that he is the child of an immigrant, much as many of us are children and grand children of immigrants.   Question is, is he the child of legal or illegal immigrants, and as a learned man, DOES HE KNOW THE DIFFERENCE?  His visit to America would suggest he does not, or that he chooses (more than likely) to ignore the difference, wanting in some fashion to have Americans view illegal aliens who have stolen our jobs in the same light as we view those who obeyed our laws and immigrated to America legally.  That is offensive to all Main Street middle class Americans, and all those who abide'd by our laws in coming to America for a better life.

Stop trying to humanize common criminals Pope Francis, and show some respect to those here in America that are being hurt by the presence in our nation of over 11 million criminals who are stealing our American Dream so they can live their own.

While we are on the subject...you are also being hypocritical in your concern for Global Warming, as your church's stand on birth control, abortion and "Planned Parenthood" run contrary to trying to solve the global emergency that is Global Warming.   Fact...the out of control explosion of human beings is causing Global Warming, and the only real solution to Global Warming is to SHRINK, not EXPAND the world wide population of humans to a manageable human population base of 2-3 billion souls.   Only in reining in our human population can we reverse Global Warming and live on a self sustaining planet.   So instead of preaching large families the church needs to preach to its congregation that the time has come to plan for small families, and time to embrace birth control and abortions in an attempt to save our planet. 

Separation of Church and State....Why Are Tax Dollars Being Spent On Pope

Let Catholics Pay For His Visit!

The pope seems like a nice enough fellow, and I get why Catholics are all wet in the panties over his visit to America.   I understand that about 20 percent of our population claims some allegiance to the Catholic Church, even if only attending church on Easter Sunday and Christmas Eve.   What I object to is the other 80 percent of us being extremely inconvenienced and having our tax dollars spent because he decides to pop in for a visit.

Let's be clear here, we are not talking CHUMP CHANGE...the city of New York has spent over 16 Million dollars just renting bike racks to be used in crowd control. Police officers, sniper teams, equipment deployment, and every Secret Service member available for duty from here to Nebraska has been pulled in for this religious extravaganza!  Six days, three cities, and probably a total price tag of over $50 MILLION DOLLARS!  Shouldn't the Catholics be paying for this?

Furthermore, isn't the whole thing more than a bit hypocritical?   The "People's Pope" who is all about helping the poor and oppressed...how many poor people could be given a helping hand with $50 MILLION DOLLARS spread around?   The homeless, food pantries, health clinics...a lot of these places could receive some much needed assistance if our tax dollars were going to them instead of protecting the Catholic Pope for a few days.   Really Pope Francis...get a clue...the hypocrisy of you having us waste over $50 million dollars so you can waive at your congregation and deliver a few speeches is astounding. 

There are about 69 million Catholics here in America...how about all of you sending the United States Treasury a buck instead of expecting the rest of us heathens to pick up your tab!  Furthermore, if this man sees himself as the "Peoples Pope" he should not be inconveniencing millions of commuters who need to earn our daily bread...do you know what traffic is going to be like because he wants to come to New York?   Stay home Pope Francis, we do not need the headache.   Does this supposed man of God know how much money he is going to cost many of the common people who will lose work time because of his visit?
