Just when you think San Francisco politicians could not sink any lower, they prove you wrong.
On Monday, May 5, David Campos, who represents the San Francisco district on the city/county board of supervisors, will hold a fundraiser at the Kink.com porn studio. The studio is located in what used to be the National Guard Armory of San Francisco.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported: “San Francisco Supervisor David Campos was planning a ‘kinky’ fundraiser Monday night at a place that bills itself ‘the largest fetish porn company in the world’ to raise money for his race to represent San Francisco in the state assembly.
Most candidates raise campaign cash at upscale eateries, casual coffeehouses or the homes of the well-to-do. Campos’ fundraiser was going to feature tours of Kink.com’s ‘edgy’ pornography studio at the Armory, a huge Moorish-style brick castle that celebrates an erotic subculture involving dominance, submission, role-playing and lots of restraining devices.”
The Chronicle reported “(Dennis) Kelly, the president of the San Francisco Unified School District teachers union, which endorsed Campos, said the event didn’t raise his eyebrows. The California Teachers Association also is endorsing Campos.”
‘You have to remember this is San Francisco,’ Kelly said. ‘I don’t think it’s something we would invite our members to, but David Campos is a well-rounded man with many constituents and many interests.
This past January the openly homosexual Campos introduced a resolution to the board of supervisors condemning the Abortion Hurts Women banners hung along the city’s Market Street in preparation for the Walk for Life West Coast. The resolution made national news, and was opposed by editorials in both the Chronicle and KGO-TV, San Francisco’s ABC affiliate.
State Senator Mark “Kiddie Porn King” Leno is the heir apparent to both CHINO Nancy Pelosi in Congress & the Larry Brinkin Posse in Frisco – and if Larry gets out in time he can campaign amongst the ‘tolerant’ for him – here’s why:
CALIFORNIA’S FIGHT OVER JESSICA’S LAW By: Chuck Devore
The last week of legislative action — or inaction — in Sacramento’s lower house was very intense. It was made especially so due to the heated debate on how our state will deal with child molesters. Would the Assembly approve Democrat Mark Leno’s AB 50 or the more sensible Jessica’s Law?
Mr. Leno’s Assembly Bill 50 started out early last year as a measure to weaken California’s highly effective and voter-approved Three Strikes Law.
AB 50, as it appeared on the Assembly floor last week, would have allowed 100 items of knowingly possessed child pornography before triggering penalties. “Items” might include CD-ROMs, capable of containing tens of thousands of pornographic images. The bill would not have instituted a statewide GPS tracking system for all molesters. And it only slightly increased prison time for felons…

OK so let’s just call out racism when it stares us in the face. Catholic In Name Only, being subverted to CHINO, a clear reference to Chinese people, is utterly obnoxious from the get-go.
Better include my husband in that…he lives in chinos! I’ve been told that because I have a few Chinese porcelain pieces mixed w/antiques that it’s all very chinesoire so you’d better call me a racist too. We mustn’t eat in china either! So denigrating to China! And don’t even think of liking b&w film…talk about segregation! Can I use the term Indian summer next fall? I’d better run all my incorrect phrases by you before I hurt someone’s feelings! Gee whiz. We even have Indian mounds here… Should we call them indigenous lumps? Good grief! Where will it all end? And now I see there are California high schools that don’t let them fly the American flag on May 5. Why don’t we put all these special people in a bubble so they can live out the dream?
You forgot the fine strainer known in the restaurant industry as a chinois, after a classic Chinese hat, derived from the French version of the word “Chinese”. I own a chinois and use it often in my cooking, and it makes the resulting sauces AMAZING! The difference, however, is that terms like these, while often based on stereotypes, are not used as a way to denigrate a set of people, as McDermott did here when he created the term “CHINO” meaning Catholic (HHHHHHH) In Name Only. He had to add the HHHHHH into CHINO in order to create a racist slur.
Yes, and the article and posts and even YFC’s posts are written in English which show a clear bias toward a particular language – one of Anglo descent. Oh, my word!
Call out the pod-people so he can be assimilated!
The racism displayed by the creation and use of the word CHINO is so transparent that those of you defending it can only be described the the racist moniker itself. Ugly ugly ugly.
I have never heard the word Chino used as a racial epithet. I looked online and the closest thing I could find is that it is Spanish for Chinese. It did not say it was derogatory. I speak only English and did not know that. There were some English slang epithets for Chinese people but hopefully they have gone the way of “cat’s meow.”
It becomes a racial epithet because he took a term CINO (catholic in name only) and made it about being chinese (CHINO). If you take a negative term and transform it into a word used to refer to a class of people completely unrelated to the conversation, you are harkening to their stereotypes about the race of people you are referring to. So somehow, mcDermott transforms CINO into CHINO, so that we all think “chinese” and any negative stereotypes we may have about Chinese people. Is this a difficult concept? I doubt it. Every commentator here gets the relationship to Chinese people. But Chinese people have nothing whatsoever to do with the concept of catholic in name only. So the author is inviting us to supply our own stereotypes about Chinese people to add to whatever we might think about catholics in name only. Not rocket science. Why do you think he offerred this term in the very first place???
What negative stereotypes do people have of Chinese people? I thought they were hard-working, family-oriented people. Exceptionally polite and deferential as well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aenFyKYTeM
Here’s a ‘home video’ of some friendly Chinese who can’t wait to come and visit you! Sorry, but they might take offense at some of your attitudes but it’ll all work out in the end. They’ll just put you in a delightful commune where people of like minds will be given new insights and views you never would have thought you’d think. They’ve had a lot of practice! Christians sure get alot of attention in China and are never forgotten. Hope you enjoy the video! I’m sure it’s coming to a neighborhood near you…eventually.
Lol Ann, I guess you enjoy drawing false comparisons so as to distract from real racism? It’s unfortunate and unChristian.
Real racism? An ‘h’ added to CINO. Perhaps you were offended, Anonymous, because you don’t like your name misspelled. No, that MUST be it.
And if you think I’m attempting to put words in your mouth (a favorite of YFC) or putting a spin on anything, I’m just following your hop, skip and leap around the world in castigating Michael McDermott with such a transparent bandwagon cry of racism – whatever it takes to get off topic and gain a sympathy vote.
Rampant filth in San Francisco is the issue and how true it is, brother. Keep on with the stellar reporting, Michael McDermott.
So Ann Malley, instead of going after ME, why don’t you ask McDermott what he hoped to accomplish by adding the H to CINO? He’s the one who added the letter, ask him why!!!
He was the one who added the letter, and he did it for a very specific purpose, so that you and I would think about every negative stereotype we have ever heard about Chinese people and mix it into catholic with name only.
It was a racist tactic through and through and the fact that he and you cannot supply any possible purpose for adding the H except to add a reference to Chinese people speaks for itself.
You call bull only because you feel proprietary about it, YFC. But nobody is threatening your exclusive right to sling it. That said, if you believe that there is something wrong with being Chinese, that is your issue. There is no other charitable interpretation of your off-the-wall charge of racism. So, please, seek help for your anxiety offline and stop deflecting from the real issue of rot in San Francisco of which you give ample support.
Brainflash, YFC. Michael McDermott could have subconsciously added the infamous ‘H’ to CINO to indicate the following:
Catholic Hypocrites In Name Only!
That said, I believe Michael wins the prize for adding much needed clarity on exactly what being a CINO really is. I’m all for propagating the new acronym. Still, it is too bad your attention was so easily diverted to Chinese people. I wonder why that is….
Ann Malley, yes my posts are in English as are yours. What my posts do not contain are mishmashes of letters that become something racist.
And neither do any of the other posts here contain racism, YFC. Get your mind out of the gutter. But oh – the topic again is the filth in San Francisco! Thank you again for proving the reality of life on the ground.
Ann Malley, converting CINO into CHINO is racist. Face it. There is no other possible interpreteation of mcDermott’s addition of the H to CINO. He clearly added it only so that everyone reading will think of Chinese people. Is there any other interpretation possible? If so, I’m open to hearing it. So far, nothing has been proferred, except “oh no it’s not racist, there is nothing racist here on CCD”. I call bull when I hear it.
You call bull only because you feel proprietary about it, YFC. But nobody is threatening your exclusive right to sling it. That said, if you believe that there is something wrong with being Chinese, that is your issue. There is no other charitable interpretation of your off-the-wall charge of racism. So, please, seek help for your anxiety offline and stop deflecting from the real issue of rot in San Francisco of which you give ample support.
What nonsense. CHINO is obviously a typo for CINO.
Speaking of San Francisco got me thinking about the endtimes and I thought you might all enjoy these two videos that came my way today!! What a coincidence as they’re rather related. What a small world!
Here’s the first one…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az4dzdS79jU#t=592
and here was a news video…https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2624817/How-Putins-walking-Six-years-ago-EDWARD-LUCAS-branded-scaremonger-warning-danger-posed-West-today-threats-alarming-ever.html
We’re all called to holiness and thinking of the last four things. We need to get serious about what we really believe. Do we think we’re pleasing Jesus with our lives?
The former City of Saint Francis, now better known as Sodom by the Sea, is still the nexus for worldwide spread of ever newer / treatment resistant strains of STDs (Aids, Syph, Gono, MRSA…) – with politicos like Tommy ‘TP’ Ammiano scolding the media for reporting on it – not the diseases themselves, but the fact that they still vector from the Castro – after 3 decades of ‘education’.
But this behavior is just part of the Frisco scene – exported to Sacramento with former mayor (now Gov. Lt. – with no real opposition on the gaydar for the next election) Gravid Nuisance…
Who pretty much got a free pass from the press The ‘Gov. Lt.’ when it came out he was having it off with a Female Subordinate (with a “substance Abuse problem), who was married to his campaign manager, and still got elected – because of his great ssm ‘tolerance’ pogrom.

BTW – Anyone Remember the Jack Davis 49’rs Birthday Party and ‘Satanic Priest’ show – attended by all the Demicrat Elite in Frisco?
https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/matier-ross/article/Jack-Davis-Offers-To-Quit-In-Party-Flap-49ers-2841164.php#ixzz23ZJGoZmw
Anyone remember the ‘good ole days’ – when naivety ruled & people thought that even Leeland Yee (Anti-NRA Gun Running Senator) could be ‘Shocked’ by the types of depravity & “bloodletting” that was featured at Demicrat Fundraisers in Frisco?
Political ‘Party’ Goes So Far, Even San Francisco Is Aghast
There is no shocking the citizens of San Francisco, it has been argued; it takes some doing just to entertain them.
Or so they apparently thought at a party last weekend where the Mayor, the District Attorney, the President of the Board of Supervisors and dozens of other local notables gathered to celebrate the 50th birthday of the city’s most powerful political consultant, Jack Davis.
Then the ”entertainment” got under way: dancers from a local strip club, male and female, gyrated in the smoke of a fog machine. A topless, mustachioed woman clad in parts of a cowboy outfit wandered merrily through the crowd. Inflatable plastic p-nses bobbed here and there.
Yet almost since the sadomasochistic finale (something about a dominatrix with a razor blade and a whisky bottle urinating on the prostrate body of a satanic priest), San Franciscans have been asking all kinds of new questions about what is appropriate private behavior for their public officials.
”When I walked in, everyone had their clothes on,” said a city Supervisor, Leland Y. Yee, one of many public officials who have been protesting their innocence.
Mr. Yee, a new member of the board, said he had concluded that there were indeed limits, even to the tolerance of this famously tolerant city.
https://www.nytimes.com/1997/05/10/us/political-party-goes-so-far-even-san-francisco-is-aghast.html
Lest anyone think that the Frisco Demicrat machine is the only that celebrates satanic rituals as entertainment (like the Jack Davis Party – attended by the top tier of said machine) – the story about Havad and their ‘tolerance’ of satanic mockery of the Catholic Church provides great background…
– On the background of POTUS Down Low Soetoro’s pick for the supreme court – Havad’s own leader of the tolerance klan Ms. Kagan & Hyr ‘wife’ (although they have yet to tie the knot officially) – and the legacy they helped create and still embrace – as shown by the attack on Real Marriage.
BTW – I have heard about the controversy over delivering Communion in the hand (which is supposed to be consumed immediately, but can be stolen by the types of Trolls that roost here), as opposed to on the tongue – but hadn’t really realized the ‘value’ of a Consecrated Host to the ‘tolerance gaystapo’ – until the story Denying that the satanists at Havad School were using such in their rituals.
Seems that Sodom by the Sea Does have east coast rivals for ritual degradation:
“Harvard student group says no consecrated host at black mass reenactment…
The Archdiocese of Boston fired back with this response, “The Catholic community in the Archdiocese of Boston expresses its deep sadness and strong opposition to the plan to stage a black mass on the campus of Harvard University in Cambridge.”

After reading all of this, my soul is in anguish and I believe my hair caught on fire. :( Thanks for sharing Michael. It’s really hard to hear about the dirt and the filth.
If God doesn’t destroy San Francisco, He should apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.
Wow, the San Francisco Unified School District teachers union will be well represented. S/
As I wrote yesterday, we ARE worse than pagan Rome, because we HAVE abandoned truth for insanity, and have replaced GOD with immoral and illicit mores. Sodom by the Sea, by its sinful and outrageous behavior, is making ancient Rome seem quite tame.
Father Karl,
How about non loyal Loyola near the Sea?
Charles, go to any Demoncrat sponsored demonstration on behalf of illegals and chances are you will find him there, can’t be bothered with rebellion against Our Lord, His Mother, and their Church, more important issues to address! Do I sound bitter, YES I am bitter, pray for his compromised soul.
I remember when he first came here and I tried to warn people about his record at his prior assignment, I was attacked for revealing the truth. I wish I could say that I have the last laugh, but this is hardly a laughing matter.
May God have mercy on an amoral Amerika!
Viva Cristo Rey!
Yours in Their Hearts,
Kenneth M. Fisher
I agree Father Karl especially now with the internet.
Whose we?
Let’s be clear what they do at this place. They take girls, some of whom are still teenagers, shove ball gags in their mouths, and then beat and sodomize them. And we’re the ones waging a “war on women” because we don’t want to provide free contraceptives? (Hint: Maybe the cheapening of sex caused by contraception is why we have places like this.) These people are as bad as the Boko Haram who are about to sell 200 girls into sex slavery. And Supervisor Campos is right there. My family has been in SF since before the Gold Rush on both sides, and I can tell you this is not what the City of St. Francis used to be. Whatever problems it had when it was full of miners, it was a conservative place by the 50s. It was only when the rest of the country started sending us their trash that this sort of thing became commonplace.
Yes, JM, this is not the SF way: it was a Catholic city and very welcoming – think evil has used the welcoming tradition as a weapon. Many SF natives are saddened by this situation. We have paid a heavy price for the many that moved here with ideas that would not be tolerated by their own home towns – we started to see it begin to unravel in the mid-50’s and it exploded in the late 60’s. Please pray for San Francisco. Extremism of any kind will not help – we need Truth abiding leaders who have the leadership abilities of Pope Francis.
Does that include Catholic extremists? I read a lot of extremism on this page.
Please define “Catholic extremists”.
“These people are as bad as the Boko Haram”–you said it all JM. Thank you to all who post the real “news”. I would never have know since I don’t “troll” amongst those that do such evil things. God help us!
The majority of people, and voters, in SF are likely still good, and in some fashion, God-fearing people. This man should never hold elective office. Someone needs to bring this kind of associative perversion out to these voters so that he might be defeated. At the very least, a basis needs to be established upon which to make people aware of the truly questionable people that are being elected to represent them. Do like homosexual sexual advocates do: get donor lists and, if they are corporations, publicly bring their financial support to the attention of consumers (and share holders). Also, this should be raised with the Teachers Union; surely they are not supporting the kind of people, like Mr. Campos, that gives credibility to perverted organizations like this one (and to the entire porn industry). Enough good people that vote, and consume, can change things. Just look at how sodomites, people that engage in outrageous and morally condemned sexual conduct, have made a sizable dent in public opinion by masking their perversion under a “I just like anothe flavor” philosophy. Use examples, like that suggested by “JM,” to do this successfully. And, where is the Catholic Church in all of this? Why is there no outrage against politicians, and their fawning and uncritical media, treating the porn industry like the Rotary Club?
St Christopher,
You have got to be incredibly naive to believe: “Also, this should be raised with the Teachers Union; surely they are not supporting the kind of people, like Mr. Campos, that gives credibility to perverted organizations like this one (and to the entire porn industry). Or you are a complete denier!
What is left of the Catholic Church is going underground to avoid the rotten bishops’ dictates!
Had I not already joined the underground Church, todays “Another Day in San(Sad) Francisco” would possibly drive me to despair.
May God have mercy on an amoral Amerika!
Viva Cristo Rey!
Yours in Their Hearts,
Kenneth M. Fisher
“Kenneth M. Fisher”: You are correct, but we need to continue to fight for the Faith until it is over. Despair is a constant problem. Perhaps fighting for the canonization of Pius XII is a reachable goal (with Paul VI on the near-term horizon). As for San Francisco, there is some hope, there must be. Remember Lepanto, when our Holy Mother sent the wind that changed everything.
First – I want to applaud California Catholic Daily as one of the bravest and most insightful websites on the net today. Not only are they willing to turn over various rocks – exposing the ugliness paved over by the bought and paid for ‘free press’ – but they also allow a wide range of discussion that is ultimately beneficial to Catholics everywhere.
Not that it is nice, or fun to read about such issues as CCD exposes, but rather that they arm the Faithful with the Facts needed to remain knowledgable about what is really going on (as opposed to the lamesteam media’s carefully managed propaganda) – and thus able to recognize and stand up to Evil, even though it is a decidedly unpleasant task.
The various Trolls on this board even add their bit – although mostly it is via Ad-Hominem Personal Attacks on other posters, designed to derail the discussion and turn the board in to an endless (and unreadable) series of ‘nyah nyah’ flame wars. In Germany back then, as in Frisco today, both know that their propaganda only works if nobody else is allowed to offer rational reasonable fact based intellectually and morally valid counterpoints.
CCD thus provides a service to the entire population (even beyond the Catholic Church) by serving as a repository for information that would otherwise be buried (like the Larry Brinkin Racist Toddler Rape-Porn ring run out of the ‘in-human-rights’ commission in Frisco) under the jackboots of the ‘leather alley’ Censors the rest of the state is so afraid of.
Are you aware of Argumentum Ad-Hominem?
Likewise: Name calling is not valid rhetoric. It is a propaganda technique.

Siollan, good job listing some of McDermott’s issues. But you did forget one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection
“But he who dissents even in one point from divinely revealed truth absolutely rejects all faith, since he thereby refuses to honor God as the supreme truth and the formal motive of faith. ‘In many things they are with me, in a few things not with me; but in those few things in which they are not with me the many things in which they are will not profit them’ (S. Augustinus in Psal. liv., n. 19). And this indeed most deservedly; for they, who take from Christian doctrine what they please, lean on their own judgments, not on faith; and not ‘bringing into captivity every understanding unto the obedience of Christ’ (2 Cor. x., 5), they more truly obey themselves than God. ‘You, who believe what you like, believe yourselves rather than the gospel’ (S. Augustinus, lib. xvii., Contra Faustum Manichaeum, cap. 3).” (Pope Leo XIII, “Satis Cognitum”, 1896 A.D.)
I’m sure Mr. McDermott will see this as a personal attack, but some amount of moderating is necessary. The tone is so offensive in a lot of his posts (though not all). Declaring the validity of statements on a page filled with fallacious ones is a little much. Especially considering that I’m pretty sure he mentioned he’s an attorney, so obviously knows what fallacies he’s using.
Amen, Michael. Thank you CCD. Everyone “pony” up some $ for this important venue.
Well said Michael.
Kink.com isn’t long for the world in SF. The company announced earlier in the year that it’s moving to operations to Nevada.
It’s truly bizarre that a small company like that ended up owning the Armory… Kink bought all 100,000 square feet of it for $14.5 million in 2007, after various failed proposals to convert it into residential/office space. It’s probably worth 10 times that, even in its current state. But it appears that the plan all along was to hold it and cash out big time on the real estate after going through regulatory hurdles of convert it.
That neighborhood has gentrified immensely. In a couple of years it will be $2 million condos and office/event space, most likely.
Alread is, Siollan. There is a new apartment building very close to the Armory renting 2 bedroom apartments for $10 K a month.
So – this is a bit of a tangent, granted – a gay group buys property nobody wanted in a neighborhood that “good” people avoided, builds a company that employs willing workers (unionized?) and produces a legal professional product for a (growing?) customer base, exercises its corporate-personhood right to engage in politics, preserves the property until the “money” suddenly discovers the neighborhood potential, sells out at a profit and moves (to yet another shunned location?) to start over. If it had been a strip mining or a fracking or a food-adulterating or a right-wing lobbying operation or a corporate raider that had done the same, would there have been any outcry from this site?
SFO – Sodom or Gomorrah ?
Catholics for the good of your own Souls and the Souls of your Children –
“….. let us ask ourselves if we have actually taken a few steps to get to know Christ and the truths of faith more, by
reading and meditating on the Scriptures,
studying the Catechism,
steadily approaching the Sacraments.” – Pope Francis, May 15, 2013.
.
“….the CATECHISM has raised throughout the world, even among non-Christians, and confirms its purpose of being presented as a full, complete exposition of Catholic doctrine, enabling everyone to know what the Church professes, celebrates, lives, and prays in her daily life.” – Pope John Paul II (CCC pg xiv)
Read what Jesus said about the ‘Narrow Door” Lk 13:23-28 & Mt 7:13-14.
CCC: ” 1791 This ignorance can often be imputed to personal responsibility.
This is the case when a man takes little trouble to find out what is true and good, or when conscience is by degrees almost blinded through the habit of committing sin. In such cases, the person is culpable for the evil he commits.”
CCC: ” 1783 Conscience must be informed and moral judgment enlightened. A well-formed conscience is upright and truthful. It formulates its judgments according to reason, in conformity with the true good willed by the wisdom of the Creator. The education of conscience is indispensable for human beings who are subjected to negative influences and tempted by sin to prefer their own judgment and to reject authoritative teachings. “
It is very difficult to have children in SF and protect them. We need religious back in the Catholic schools. It is stunning to hear what is going on in the Catholic schools in SF. I hope the DSMME or Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia in Nashville are permitted to take over some of the SF Catholic schools so we can rebuild our Church and the morality.
They have to be invited by the bishop.
We need the help of Truth abiding religious as educators to form our children. We need courageous priests to speak the Truth – may our new Pope saints help us.
Ann Malley
Haven’t I warned you about feeding the Trolls, particularly the fan club desperately pushing for Total Censorship of Icon Larry Brinkin’s Racist Toddler Rape-Porn Ring?
FYI RINO$ are republican$ in name only, more interested in money than values.
Similarly, CINO & CHINO are both terms for similar frauds (pretend Catholics)- I use CHINO as CatHolic in Name Only to emphasize the CatHolic nature of the scam, which never had anything to do with race.
However – the Pervasive Stench of the Rank Raw Racism of Larry Brinkin’s Pederast Toddler Rape-Porn Ring has really gotten the Trolls in a Tizzy, and they are desperately trying to fan a flame war to divert attention away from the Reality of their Revered Icon.
Brinkin had a wall full of handshake / grope hug photos with every big time Demicrat in the city & state – and would be an even bigger embarrassment if media outside of Frisco reported on it (even once) – which they refused to.
Hence if CCD is one of the few places where Icon Brinkin’s Racism is compared to big time stories (like basketball bozos) – that is where the mau mauing is the most frenzied.
So Please – for Decency Sake – Don’t Feed the CHINO Trolls.
SEE https://www.wnd.com/2013/03/website-tracking-californias-gender-insanity/
Ah yes, Michael McDermott, you have advised me not to feed the trolls. But much like a freshly dipped chocolate cruller, I often cannot resist. But I’ll try.
God bless :)
Ann, in my experience, when our opposition takes issue with one word or sentence out of an otherwise important and informative post or makes a personal attack on the messenger, their sole purpose is to change the narrative and divert thoughtful dialogue from the IMPORTANT message. Why do you think you are so often called out and dismissed by them for attending traditional chapels? They would rather have the dialogue go there than to stay with the immediate truth of what you or someone else may have posted.
So what I think that Michael is warning you to avoid being pulled into THE ENEMIES narrative. They know that THEY WIN if they can KEEP US on the defensive!
Very truly stated, Tracy. Thanks again for the lesson in bringing it back to center.
God bless !
Ann another truism is a quote by the late Andrew Breitbart; “The left does not win its battles in debate…The left wins because it controls the narrative.”
How many of us can sadly admit to tuning in to the Leftist main stream media day after day in order to hear the latest information about a missing aircraft or an elderly basketball team owner, etc. etc., all the while being oblivious to the news which will really affect our lives?!
So thank you Mr. McDermott for comfirming that the addition of “H” was not a mistake. It was quite intentional on your part. Now, you say you added it because it is an abbreviation for what I believe is a new term from you “CatHolic”. Whatever does that mean? So introduce the racist term CHINO, then backtrack and make up a new word? “CatHolic”? Really? Exactly how many people would have recognized your word “CHINO” to refer to your other word “CatHolic”. NONE. And I say again that using the term CHINO was intended as a racist slur against Asian Americans.
I’m no fan of Mr. McDermott, but I don’t get where you’re seeing racism in that. He doesn’t even vaguely appear to reference Chinese people at all.
However, I did notice that the editor edited his comment that I responded to on this page, and also my response, so it doesn’t really make sense. Maybe something in it was deleted?
The only racist thing I’ve heard him say is calling Obama “Down Low Barry Soetoro”, which presumably means he’s an Indonesian Citizen/Muslim (or whatever ridiculous brand of Birther nonsense he’s referencing…) then throwing some pointed, snide reference to the black gay community. But it’s all in the interest of being as snide and obnoxious as possible.
Xenophobe? Absolutely. Bitter, angry, sanctimonious, hateful person? It would seem so.
Racist? Probably not.
heh heh. You have it all wrapped up and tied with a bow, dear. I’m sure Mr. McDermott is so relieved now to know just what he’s about. It reminds me of summing up someone by their horoscope…do you read palms as well? What am I going to have for lunch tomorrow? Should Ann Malley go on a diet? Does Kenneth Fisher need bifocals? And I haven’t even mentioned all our phobias, passions and favorite books! We’re all agog at your impressive insights into the nature of things. ;o)
I don’t need to read palms, only words. There are more than enough of them in each heavy-handed, non-sequitur/conspiracy/persecution complex/pejorative-filled screeds that he posts to make an ample assessment.
Cal-Caltholic Daily does a good job of giving sanctuary to everything that is morally bankrupt and corrupted about Catholicism.
Enjoy your culture war. (hint: you’ve already lost it).
Okay, you got me, no donuts, Dana :)
It’s true we’re losing battles, Siollan, but the war was already won 2000 yrs. ago. It saddens me that the battle for hearts and minds in this country is being lost. On that we can agree. We’re definitely past the point of no return when schools, churches and communnities no longer honor God or fear consequences for sin. With God, all things are possible, as we know. But if we fail to feel remorse and there is no repentence…we’ll just continue on the downward slide to paganism and mediocrity. May Mary and all the saints pray for us to the Lord our God. Sorry for the sarcasm earlier, but I just wanted to give you an idea of how you sound in your patronizing responses. God bless you. ;o)
He who pursues righteousness and kindness will find life and honor.
Proverbs 21:21
I should probably even qualify that. Xenophobia in its most basic form is simply ‘fear of other’ but the connotation is generally synonymous with racism. Bad choice of words. Homophobe is more apt.
Ah, yes, naturally…homophobe. Clever girl. Well, be sure to include all the Old Testament prophets, kings and all twelve tribes of Israel in that category, along with all the Apostles, Popes, Saints, believing Christians and most civilized people throughout history. Gee, but you modernists are sure clever…you know more than anybody!! Hello, operator? Get me Heaven on the line…yesereeee Bob, have we got a live wire here! She’s going to tell God just where He went wrong! We’re all homophobes! Who knew!?
Siollan, Chino means Chinese in Spanish, especially Mexican Spanish. I think there can be no other explanation than he meant to cast one of his typical snide obnoxious and what he may think is smart slight of linguistic hand to equate Cinos (cathlics in name only) with Chinese people, because he knows that folks will recall their negative stereotypes about both types and combine them. The word chino itself has been used by others to denigrate, as it can be used colloquially to refer to something that is curled or kinky or not straight. It is used in Mexico to refer to those parts of town you wouldn’t want your daughter to go. All racist uses of the root meaning of the word, Chinese.
You may not believe that was his intentions, and that is fine, but I can’t figure out any other possible reason for obscuring his obvious disdain for CINOs with a reference to CHINOs, a reference that he most certainly gets. Why, after all, would you confuse your reader with an offhanded reference to Chinese people if you were really talking about Catholics (or CatHolics if you prefer) in name only. And if anyone buys his explanation about CatHolics, well, then I’ve got a cure for addictions to felines to sell you.
That’s quite a lot to infer from one letter, with no context, particularly from someone who coins random, cute pejoratives (SSAdly). The vicious ones are pretty consistent in theme; anti-gay, or perceived threat to gender as a rigid binary. Even with the down-low one, the racial subtext is probably incidental to just being an available anti-gay slur, and one of many Obama conspiracies to throw in there.
In that one, he’s merely accusing Democrats and SF politicians (in general, I guess) of bearing collective guilt for a provision in the first draft of Mark Leno’s AB50 (which was subsequently lowered from 100 pieces to 1. The story in the link is from 2006), and Larry Birkin’s crimes, of which no one had knowledge until he was charged.
But this is an obvious attempt to further the narrative that gays are child predators, or at least sympathetic to them. Just more propaganda.
I don’t think he’s a racist. But whatever. Is that much better?
Don’t be fooled by the sodomites … https://tinyurl.com/SodomiteMyths
Three more fallacies:
Argumentum ad Nauseam, Argumentum ad Infinitum, Proof by Assertion.
That is exactly why all Catholics must use the Bible and the CCC for accuracy.
If active sodomists would not print on this blog site there would be no need to keep correcting them.
What Juegensen is posting here (ad nauseam) is only vaguely rooted in the bible, and being that it’s disseminated by a fundamentalist evangelical group, the CCC has no bearing at all.
It’s faux-scientific propaganda put out by a lobbying group.
Appealing to the authority of dogma is valid. Appealing to the authority of pseudoscience disguised as objective fact is not.
Anonymous, some serious issues have arisen since the publication of the CCC. One needs to find the Vatican paper which addresses it. Most things can be inferred by knowing the Bible and the CCC. There may be some points made in the Vatican releases that will aid understanding.
Without the H, CINO would be pronounced “sino” which IS a direct reference to China.
Nice job changing the subject, though…
One goes from faithful to sinner:
When one calls another a derogatory term.
When one infers an evil motivation to another’s words or deeds.
When one uses one’s words to hurt or degrade another.
Loreto, did you make this up or are you quoting from someone?
When Jesus called his enemies “you broad of vipers” or “you are the descendants of your father the devil”, did HE go from “faithful to sinner”?
Do you prefer Scripture, Tradition, Magisterium, writings of the Saints or of other holy men and women?
Jesus NEVER sinned.
Tracy, I am sure that you know that Jesus was sinless, as was his Mother. I have never seen it recommended that we imitate Christ in his admonishments to the Pharisees. We are supposed to place ourselves in the position of the Pharisees and realize that Jesus is talking to us as well.
Read about the lives of St.Catherine of Sienna, St.Padre Pio or St.John Vianay, loreto. They had plenty of very hurtful things to say to sinners that came into their orbit. …it sounds nice on the surface, all nonjudgmental and warm and fuzzy, but what you’re describing is like a voice from the planet Camazotz.
That is not what the Lord desires for you to emulate in the Saints.
The political future shown by San Francisco is obvious, and repulsive, enough. It is a future where politicians openly celebrate with the pornographers who commit, record, and exploit the bondage of the young. Liberalism, which in the heady days of John Mill was to mean more individual freedom, now means the granting the rich and powerful the power to not only exploit the vulnerable in the basest ways but to profit from, and buy political influence, from its public exhibition.
