catholics for pizza

whoops, i mean 'catholics for brownback'. ewwwwwwwwwwwww

first monaghan is trying to build his ALL catholic city, now he's going to try to build his ALL catholic president. monaghan and brownback are NO ordinary catholics by the way. they are THE chosen ones

oh, i have nothing against catholics (i was raised one). well nothing more than i have against most (if not all) organized 'religions'. i DO have a thing against people forcing their beliefs upon ME (and others) as the RIGHT AND ONLY WAY.

i don't know much about brownback. i DO know he's a big old fan of censorship though. i know he is BEYOND conservative.


Domino's Pizza founder tosses money, influence to Sen. Brownback

By Matt Stearns
McClatchy Newspapers
WASHINGTON - The passion of Tom Monaghan: Pizza. God. Sam Brownback.
The Domino's pizza founder, one of the nation's richest and most controversial Roman Catholic philanthropists, is putting his money and influence into making Brownback, the Republican Kansas senator, the next president of the United States.
The former pizza magnate is advising the 2008 presidential exploratory committee for Brownback, a longtime social conservative who converted to Catholicism a few years ago. Monaghan, who declined an interview request, is expected to play a lead role in "Catholics for Brownback."
More important, his support is likely to be a big help to Brownback's fundraising, which is currently regarded as the weakest part of Brownback's candidacy.
"He brings to the table recognition in the Catholic community," said Marlene Elwell, a Michigan political activist who used to work for Monaghan. "It's always positive to have a leader in a community endorse you."
But the extent of Monaghan's religious fervor could raise eyebrows among more secular voters.
"In the Catholic community, he's looked upon as kind of on the fringes," said the Rev. Robert Drinan, a liberal Roman Catholic priest and former Democratic congressman who teaches at Georgetown University. "The worldview is, `We have to get back to a Catholic civilization'. They want to go back to a Christian society imposed from above. ... It's just another world they want to build." ..............

and here's a little something something from rolling stone on senator brownback:
