Obama accused the Republicans of not wanting the bill to pass because it will prove how innocuous the government takeover of medicine was all along.The next 24 hours are "armageddon" because the health care bill proposed by Democrats will "ruin our country," House Minority Leader John Boehner said Saturday, a day before a crucial vote on the bill in the House.
We're on the cliff.
The USCCB circulated a letter to lawmakers last night, telling them to vote "no" if fixes aren't made to the bill.
"The Senate bill extends abortion coverage, allows federal funds to pay for elective abortions (for example, through a new appropriation for services at Community Health Centers that bypasses the Hyde amendment), and denies adequate conscience protection to individuals and institutions," the letters states in explaining the reasons for the bishops' opposition.
I don't mean to undermine the effort because at least they did something but this is the moment to grab your testosterone by the bootstraps and man up.
The letter should have said this is the line in the sand and Catholic Hospitals will be shutting down as soon as we can transfer patients to secular hospitals if this bill passes; that this bill threatens takes away life-giving medical treatment to seniors and the poorest of the poor; the effective elimination of trickle up poverty and eradication of the middle class is such a threat to the sanctity and dignity of human life that anyone who votes "yes" will be publicly excommunicated on Monday.
I am really sick to death of wimpy "letters" from prelates about the raping and killing of our children at the hands of sociopaths and selfish narcissists.
They don't fool those of us on the ground in hand-to-hand battles. The dozen or so of us here in Boston who worked tirelessly to stop Cardinal O'Malley from making money for his hospitals by signing abortion contracts saw exactly how "sorry" the Bishops, Cardinals and prelates are all the way to the top. They are not sorry enough to take the murdering of children for money seriously. They simply permitted the Cardinal to cover up what is really going on by rearranging Partnership and Operating Agreements and providing the media with falsehoods that he ended the arrangement. It was a lie and is a lie that is being covered up by the American Bishops and the highest levels at the Vatican.
Further, these Bishops used the opportunity to break the backs of the American workforce buckling with trying to stretch our dollar to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table to provide for illegal aliens in the bill:
"The Senate bill would not only continue current law that denies legal immigrants access to Medicaid for five years, but also prohibit undocumented immigrants from buying insurance for their families in the exchanges using their own money," the letter adds. "These provisions could leave immigrants and their families worse off, and also hurt the public health of our nation."
Perhaps these benefits should be paid for out of the Bishop's Appeal?
Who do they think can afford this?
We are killing ourselves out here trying to make ends meet while their endless supply of money simply keeps refilling their coffers. They have no idea what the middle class working slobs are up against.
Several weeks back the apostates at America Magazine initiated a discussion about how the cause of abortion is not moral decay but a matter of economics. Their answer was to give mothers 800 dollars per child. I tried to ask who they think can live on 800 dollars a month but the editor there, Tim Riedy, would not permit the questions to be posted. (They deliberately keep logic and factual information from their readers) Living expenses for single parents is a minimum of 62,000 dollars a year just to get by. I tried to post the breakdown of these expenses, which came from many secular sources - but again, Riedy would not let the breakdown post. Truly creepy what is going on over there but then again, should not be surprising as they deliberately twist the authentic path to salvation, the most offensive crime against humanity.
We're crossing the rubicon of people into the slavery of sin and poverty and the kicker is it's being sold as a virtue.
He was a liar and a murderer from the beginning.

We are witnessing the beginning of our true demise as a once great nation. Stupack has folded. We are now Diogenes looking for one honest man. We have been rolled, robbed and thugged, as you say, in the name of virtue. And who is at the helm, heralding Pelosi's cause? America Magazine, the Popes' girls, of course.
Stupak held his press conference. Is is now official. God save us.
