Senate Blocks Hell-Care Repeal

As expected, the US Senate voted contrary to the House of Representatives and they blocked the repeal of the Obamascare Hell Bill - for now.  There are a few things to ponder here.

• Last week it was ruled unconstitutional.
• The vote was strictly along party lines.  Look at the margin: 51 - 47!  That's only a 4-vote lead!  So what will it be in 2014?
• So much for "pro-life Democrats".  Ben Nelson, Bob Casey Jr, and Joe Manchin all voted for the retention of the Hell Bill.

We have all received a lesson that elections do matter!  We the people must remain engaged and must remain vigilant.

US Bishops Support Three Pro-Life Bills

From Lifesite News we read that Cardinal DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, chairman of the Committee on Pro-Life Activities of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), announced the bishops' support of:

• Protect Life Act, H.R. 358
• Abortion Non-Discrimination Act, H.R. 361
• No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, H.R. 3

While we are pleased with this support, we also call on the nation's bishops to lend support for H.R. 2, Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act.  It cannot be fixed.  Socialized medicine is inherently dangerous to innocent life.  It is completely at odds with the principle of subsidiarity and furthers the encroachment of socialism in our culture.  H.R. 2 passed the House and now is awaiting a vote by the U.S. Senate.  Your Eminences and Excellencies, please support the complete dismantling of the ACA monstrosity.

House Votes To Repeal Obama Hell Scare Bill

As announced yesterday, the House of Representatives held the vote.  I am happy to report that they voted to repeal it.  The 245-189 vote was mainly along party lines; when the roll call is available, I'll post it.  My congratulations to Speaker Boehner and all who worked to bring this repeal bill to the floor.

Now all eyes are on the Senate.  Conventional wisdom holds that they will scuttle the bill or vote it down.  However, there are Democrats who are up for reelection in 2012.  Not all of them are stupid; they realize why many of their colleagues are not included in the 112th Congress.  Perhaps they aren't prepared to seal their own professional fates, the whining of Obama and Reid notwithstanding.

This will be interesting to watch.  Moreover, this gives us reason for prayer.

Prayers are also needed for one group of individuals who are not entirely happy with the prospect of the Hell Bill being finally overturned?  Who might that group be?  The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops!  Insisting that "health care is a basic human right",  they want to "improve and correct serious moral problems in the current law".  They don't accept the truth that socialized medicine is a serious moral problem!  When will they learn?

Obamacare Repeal Vote Scheduled For TOMORROW!!!

From Lifesite News, we read that the GOP-controlled House will hold the debate and vote tomorrow regarding H.R. 2, a bill that will fully repeal the so-called "Affordable Care Act".  Now guess what?  H.R. 2 is online and is downloadable.  Before you peek, guess how many pages it is?  Answer?  Two entire pages!  Not 2000+ pages, as is the monstrosity that will be put into the dung heap of history, but just plain 2!  Eric Cantor is the author of this, and has given to it the short title of "Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act".  Of course we all know that under Obamacare many innocent people will be killed - rather murdered.

After this vote, all eyes will be on the Senate.  While it still remains in control of the Democrats, that control was significantly weakend in November.  Moreover, many Senators who voted for the Obamamess will be up for reelection in two years.  Knowing the fate of some of their colleagues, they may see the errors of their ways, arm-twisting by Reid notwithstanding.

Warning!  The whining, kvetching and just plain hysteria over the removal of Obama Hell Care has already commenced.  Progressive pundit Bill Maher has gone so far as to blame lack of socialized medicine for the Tuscon shootings.  I'm not kidding; watch for yourselves.  Click here if you can't see embedded video.



Bill, if you're watching this, fret not!  It isn't hard for a crazy person to get a job or health care.  If you want proof, just look in the closest mirror.  Do you  have a job and health care?  I rest my case!
