American Thinker: There’s a bus full of Catholic nuns tootling around the country – final destination: Mar-a-Lago and a “Fiesta for the Common Good” – spreading the social justice gospel that individualism is “an unpatriotic lie.” Detroit News columnist Bankole Thompson reports that “NETWORK, the Catholic social justice group in Washington, D.C., led by Sister Simone Campbell, has long been answering the call of prophet Amos” about the widening gap between rich and poor. Sister Simone’s Nuns on the Bus tour is now making its way through 21 states, calling attention “to policies that are hurting the poor including tax cuts that end up benefiting the wealthiest, not the neediest in our nation.” In other words, it’s a Democrat publicity stunt.
Sister Simone had this to say to Thompson about Nuns on the Bus’s stop in Detroit on Saturday: “At a time when partisanship and anger are running rampant in our nation, Nuns on the Bus is taking to the road to challenge the unpatriotic lie that our nation is based on individualism and to lift up the truth that we are best as a nation when we act on the Constitutional obligation to be ‘We the People.'”
Sister Simone’s anguish over “partisanship and anger” rings awfully hollow, the way she limits all her criticisms to Republicans, and can she really be unaware of how Democrats (the party she’s clearly rooting for with extreme partisanship) have been the living embodiment of the word “anger” ever since November 2016? Not much “We the People” togetherness being offered by congressional Democrats or leftist flash mobs. Nor do her comments on taxes and the economy suggest she’s bothered to update her opinions since she first acquired them during LBJ’s Great Society. As she sees things, Republicans “do not see the connection between the tax law and the issues of poverty … our families need federal programs to survive.” (My emphasis.)
True, Republicans don’t see the connection between high taxes and reducing poverty, because there is none. Republicans see different connections, like the one between lower taxes and a healthy economy, which increases the number of families sustained by employment rather than federal programs. But like those Japanese soldiers marooned on remote Pacific islands, the ones still fighting World War II decades after V-J Day, Sister Simone’s still fighting the War on Poverty, invincibly ignorant of how that war was long ago catastrophically lost. In Sister Simone’s childlike eyes, there’s no reason high taxes can’t still be redistributed through federal programs to “cure” poverty. read more
After Ann Barnhardt’s rant yesterday, all I can picture is a busload of those…creatures.

I’ve seen the movie…she had two mules and wasn’t a nun…he kept his hat on fer a minute or two..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw6ZgK656wk
These dykes are not actually Catholic. They apostatized and excommunicated themselves decades ago. Giving them any credence puts both your intellect and your immortal soul in grave peril.
When the part these Trojan nuns played in the infiltration of homosexual predators into The Church and their subsequent protection is going to come as a surprise to a lot of people, not me. I have been onto their crap for decades.
There are quite a few orders that are nothing but fronts for covens of pure unadulterated Marxist filth.

Absolutely spot on!
In case you’re interested in her bus tour and wish to pelt her with rotten tomatoes or just insults, here’s the schedule.

Real nuns don’t do social justice ever. They do love and peace, grace and mercy, healing, forgiveness etc. These are not real nuns but a bunch of phonies who are more concerned with pleasing man and not God.
Now why doesn’t this whistle stop surprise me!
St. Sabina Catholic Church

I have been around more than a few of these harridans and they are fountains of spite and hate and there isn’t anything remotely resembling authentic Christianity or the Catholic faith
WHO’S paying for the bus? 🙄
The two best Nun movies ever, Nuns On the Run with Eric Idle and Robbie Coltrane and The Trouble With Angels with Hayley Mills. My late wife loved both of them as she was a Catholic and almost became a Nun. She would’ve made a very good but mischievious Nun but thankfully she didn’t.
And I thought Episcopalians were disgusting…
Didn’t they read the book? The poor will always be with us.
We call them none’s.
“And Methodists!”
Oh dear! Are there folk wandering off the IOTW plantation again, thinking A Bit Differently?
Perhaps they should be subjected to A *Mild* Public Stoning?
That might bring ’em around, eh? …..Lady in Red
