Paralysis By Analysis - Is That Just An Act?

Last week I wrote why it's a moral imperative to defund Obamacare in its entirety.  The US Bishops are so keen to act on lesser matters such ad immigration, but delight in dragging their feet when it comes to that menace to humanity called Obamacare.

Not to worry!  Cardinal Dolan assures us that "efforts are proceeding apace".  What he doesn't tell us is that "apace" means "the pace of a snail".  And guess what?  "Further discussion will take place" at the USCCB meeting in Baltimore this November.  Oh, yippee!  With all that yap and yammer, all will be sweetness and sunshine once again!

Boys and girls, can we all say, "too little too late"?  When the Baltimore meeting convenes, the decision to fund (or hopefully defund) Obamacare will already have occurred.  Those November discussions will be akin to the Titanic crew debating on the deck flower arrangements while the ship is sinking.  Does it not occur to you that if they're putting this on their November agenda, that they fully expect Obamacare to be in place?

I would say that they're inept and stupid, but that would be too charitable.  I'm serious.  If Obamacare is funded, the US bishops and their puppet-string pullers will bear moral culpability for every baby that's aborted thanks to Obamacare and every ill person victimized by the death panels.  Far too many of them actually yearn for socialized medicine but know that flies in the face of Magisterial teaching.  To appease faithful Catholics, they put up this "dumb but lovable little bumpkins" act so that they can pretend that they tried to stop it.    We are not falling for it any more, and we will call them out on their duplicity and deceit.

Defunding Of Obamacare - Moral Imperative For US Bishops

A piece by Terry Jeffrey was posted in today's online edition of Townhall.com.  It is entitled, "A Vote to Fund Obamacare Will Fund Deliberate Destruction of Life".  He's right.  There's no getting around it.  He is focused on the bill that Congress must vote upon to fund the US government past September 30th.  That funding measure will contain funding for Obamacare and all its immoral ramifications.

I'll quote a succinct sentence of his: "If the bill permits funding for implementation of Obamacare and a member votes for it, that member will be voting to allow the administration to send tax dollars to health care providers who perform abortions."  While I'm not a moral theologian by any stretch, I cannot see how such a vote would not constitute formal and material cooperation with grave moral evil.  Therefore I cannot see how any faithful Catholic can support Obamacare.  To my progressive/liberal readers: don't even try to invoke the Principle of Double Effect; the funneling of tax dollars to fund the murders of countless babies far outweighs any benefit that might come from Obamacare - and such benefits probably don't exist anyway.

No faithful Catholic in Congress can vote for any funding resolution as it currently stands.  No other decent Catholic can support it.  That means you, Your Eminences and Your Excellencies!

Yes, let's focus on the pathetic stance taken by the US bishops so far.  And truly it has been pathetic, wimpy and downright wimpy.  All we've heard from them is pleas to be exempted from the HHS contraception mandate (as if the rights of other decent people don't matter).  Nowhere have I read that the bishops were calling for the defunding of the Obamacare monstrosity.  The tweaks for the bill they did propose amount to putting lipstick on a rattlesnake.

The bishops and priests of this nation have a solemn duty to demand that Obamacare be defunded.  If the progressives rattle the saber of "shutting down the government", let that be on their heads.  It's way past time that our shepherds found the clarity and courage to cry out "NO!" to the grave moral evil that is called Obamacare.

Don't Liberals Say The Darndest Things?

The latest plop of nonsense came from the former (thank God!) Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.   The GOP is backing a bill (the Protect Life Act, HR 358) in the House that will cut federal funds from those parts of the Obama Hell bill that would pay for baby-murder.  The drying up of funds to her favorite campaign contributers is just throwing poor old Nancy into a royal hissy-snit-fit!  According to her, a yes vote on this bill will "say that women can die on the floor and health care providers do not have to intervene".   Got that, ladies?  If those mean, ole' conservatives stop the funding of baby-murder, we'll be dropping dead all over the place!  Better make sure your wills are written and that you've gone to Confession (especially you, Nancy!).

Come to think of it, Nancy, how can you be so certain?  After all, we have to pass the bill to see what's in it, right?  That's what you said when that 2000-page monstrosity of a Hell Bill was up for a vote!  She goes on to say, "I can’t even describe to you the logic of what it is that they are doing."  I believe her, for I don't think she can describe any logic whatsoever. 

I'm so glad she's no longer 3rd in line for the Presidency.

Obamacare To Ban Asthma Inhalers

So much for "thinking of the children".  Primatene Mist inhalers will soon be discontinued because they "damage the environment".   Forget about people with asthma simply trying to breathe.  Bowing to his envirowhacko task-masters, the Messiah Most Miserable and his Minions Most Mindless values polar bears and ozone layers above human beings.

None of this is surprising, though.  To see what Real Catholic TV has learned about environmentalism, click here.  For additional information, go to the search box at the top left, and search for terms such as "environmnentalism", "global warming", "climate change".  It will be eye-opening.

Sister Carol Keehan!  Are you paying attention?  Do you care?  Is the Pen of Perfidy worth it?  Thanks for nothing!

Chuck Schumer Directing Partisan Smear During Budget Battle

On Tuesday evening, Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was giving "talking point directions" to fellow Democrats, instructing them to call GOP "extreme".  The poor guy!  He was unaware that reporters were on the line, recording his, uh, "words of wisdom".  You will hear them yourself in the following clip.  That's how the progressive lemmings are trying to funnel our hard-earned dollars into Obamacare, Planned Parenthood, Cowboy Poetry Festivals, and Lord only knows what other pork-barrell junk.

So Chuckie-Boy got caught with both feet in mouth.  For those of you who scoff at the notion that the progressives are willing to engage in smear tactics while claiming to be pure as the driven snow, the irrefutable evidence is below.  Chuckie-Boy has had quite the chequered career when it comes to hard-balling pro-life people and the Constitution.

• He co-authored the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.  This act renders feloneous the blocking of entrances to abortion mills - but only abortion mills.  That means the union thugs of Wisconsin who blockaded the Wisconsin state house a few weeks ago got off scott free.  It's an act targeted at those of a specific view point, but that doesn't concern Chuckie!  Oh, by the way - the other author was none other than Montgomery County's own Connie Morella.
• He doesn't know diddly-squat about the United States Constitution.  Read why in one of my previous posts.  No doubt this sort of ignorance impelled him to conduct his FACE caper.

So now here's the clip, along with Michele Bachmann putting him and the other progressives in their places.  Click here if you can't see embedded video.

Just Say "NO!!" To ANY Budget, Short-Term Or Permanent, That Gives One More Red Penny To Planned Parenthood

Much of this information comes from Jill Stanek's blog; I commend Family Research Council and other groups who are monitoring the votes.  The post relayed the dismal news that last evening, the GOP-controlled House Appropriations Committee released another proposed short-term Continuing Resolution to kick in when the current one expires next week.  It continues the Planned Parenthood funding to the tune of:

$950,000 each DAY

That is unacceptable, to say the least.
