its been said so many times its just the first thing people want to say about obama as a talking point against him.
Well that would be ironic because I believe this poster would think that the Catholic Church is socialist if he actually listened to what the pope says. For example, here are excerpts from the ass whipping the Pope gave to the banking industry:
*Condemned the "Idolatry of the Market"
*decried global inequalities in wealth
*Criticized economic liberalism (free market economy. Please don't be a dolt and confuse that with our "liberal" vs "Conservative")
*Warned that the market was insufficiently looking out for the common good and denounced decision-making without ethical considerations
*warned that continued injustice would bring violence and undermine democracy (shoutout to the global OWS protestors)
*compared the global financial system to the Tower of Babel
*called for a global banking authority
