False Catholic Groups Welcome Abortion Language in Senate Bill

(Source: New York Times )
"The Senate bill, approved Thursday morning, allows any state to bar the use of federal subsidies for insurance plans that cover abortion and requires insurers in other states to divide subsidy money into separate accounts so that only dollars from private premiums would be used to pay for abortions.  Just days before the bill passed, the Catholic Health Association, which represents hundreds of Catholic hospitals across the country, said in a statement that it was “encouraged” and “increasingly confident” that such a compromise “can achieve the objective of no federal funding for abortion.” An umbrella group for nuns followed its lead.  The same day, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops called the proposed compromise “morally unacceptable.” 


First of all, this group is a private association and does not represent the Church in any way - other than by name or CINO, Catholic In Name Only.  In this matter where it comes in direct opposition to the bishops' stance, it has even become a distraction, a source of confusion that misleads others.  The Church really needs to manage it's brand.


But in addition to the bishops' statement, the fact that the bishops are ready to close the Church's hospitals if forced to perform abortions is the clearest sign of where it stands.

The Broken Promises:
1. Make Government Open and Transparent
2. Make it "Impossible" for Congressmen to slip in Pork Barrel Projects
3. Meetings where laws are written will be more open to the public (republicans shut out)
4. No more secrecy
5. Public will have 5 days to look at a Bill
6. You'll know what's in it (Republican Senators didnt know)

7. We will put every pork barrel project online

The result:  Ed Morrissey points out that strong disapproval now exceeds overall approval, 46% to 44% among likely voters.

Democrats Will Continue to Bribe and Buy Votes


Democrats Voted to Continue Vote Buying

Those Who Got a Sweet Deal


Sen. DeMint introduced an amendment to prohibit bribery but it was dismissed by the Democratic senators who voted against it.  So, vote buying will continue and the healthcare reform bill will advance almost inevitably to become the law of the land.

Clearly there is something terribly wrong here as a tyrannical majority tramples over the rights of half the country.  And people know this and are hoping that the lawmakers will stop this travesty.  But with the Democrats in-charge, the opposition can do little or nothing except throw their hands in the air.  They need to throw their shoes in the air instead as the American public gets robbed in broad daylight.  If the parliamentary procedures do not work then they must do things outside the box and try alternative ways to stop this.  If you see your son being mugged,  you don't raise your hand and say, "Point of order Mr. Chairman.", you pull a tire rod out and come out swinging.  And the scary reality is this, if the folks on the hill don't do this, then the people on the streets will.

Video: Obama's Safe Schools Czar Org's Question to 14 Year Olds: "Spit vs. Swallow?... Is it Rude?"


source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXaEoD6jJtw
Video Description:  Barack Obama's Safe Schools Czar Kevin Jennings founded the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). Recently he was appointed by the Obama administration to run the Office of Safe & Drug Free Schools in the US Department of Education.

In 2000 GLSEN held a conference that was not so much about tolerance as it was about teaching children about sex. In this clip one of the activists asks 14 year olds, "Spit or swallow?... Is it rude?"

This conference was fully supported by the Massachusetts Department of Education, the Safe Schools Program, the Governor's Commission on Gay & Lesbian Youth, and some of the presenters even received federal money.



My 2 cents: with a czar like that, our safe schools are neither.
