Mama Winger's Kitchen Table

The nation’s Catholic bishops at the USCCB and individual bishops from across the country are speaking out in opposition to the pro-abortion health care bill. They say they would appreciate a bill to improve the nation’s health care system but they can’t support one that includes abortion funding and promotion.

Late Monday, Cardinal Francis George released a new statement titled “The Cost is too High; the Loss is too Great.”

“The Catholic Bishops of the United States have long and consistently advocated for the reform of the American health care system,” he said.

But they have also “urged that all who are sick, injured or in need receive necessary and appropriate medical assistance, and that no one be deliberately killed through an expansion of federal funding of abortion itself or of insurance plans that cover abortion.”

Cardinal George complained the Senate measure “expands federal funding and the role of the federal government in the provision of abortion procedures. In so doing, it forces all of us to become involved in an act that profoundly violates the conscience of many, the deliberate destruction of unwanted members of the human family still waiting to be born.”

There are a number of Democrats holding the line here – make sure they hear from you and let them know you have their support.

This entire thing is a disgrace.

“>Paul Ryan, (R-WI) writing today in the Washington Post:

If this debate had actually been about health care, we could have worked together to get a grip on costs, make quality care more accessible, address exclusions for preexisting conditions and realign the incentives of insurance companies with those of patients and doctors. Yet this process — including its embarrassing conclusion — demonstrates that the debate has never been about health-care policy but, instead, paternalistic ideology.

Take a look at Paul Ryan’s own roadmap to prosperity and common sense here.

Remember the other evening when President Obama addressed Congress with his eleventy-th speech on health care? He was telling the nation that OF COURSE his proposed bill would not cover illegal aliens and undocumented workers.

Pshaw you say? Well, so did Congressman Joe Wilson, who in a ‘had it up to here’ moment shouted out to the President in the Chamber : “YOU LIE!”

People were aghast. Poor Joe had to end up apologizing to Obama.

Well, it turns out that Obama may be the one needing to issue an apology. “Upon Further Review” it appears that, oh shock!, the bill would INDEED cover illegals.

“The White House tonight is providing the below clarification on what the president’s health-care proposals would mean when it comes to the issue of illegal immigrants.

The question, as we all know, arises from the Wilson “You lie” outburst, and the core claim that notwithstanding specific bill language barring illegal immigrants from participating in the “exchange,” as a practical matter, there is no way of verifying the citizenship of applicants — which is the current state of play. Republicans say that then means illegal immigrants would end up being enrolled in plans — bill language or no bill language.

Today, for the first time as far as we know, the administration is backing a provision that would require proof of citizenship before someone could enroll in a plan selected on the exchange.

Here, the administration also concedes that hospitals would be compensated with public funds for the care of undocumented immigrants.”

In honor of those parents who are vigilant about protecting their school children from the left-wing agenda, I’ve created this T shirt:

Parents simply do not trust this man with their kids. Look at who he surrounds himself with from the world of ‘education’. Some school districts are doing the right thing and saying they will opt out of this. Is your school district one of them?

A new wave of anti-Obama memorabilia is hitting the shelves — from T-shirts to bumper stickers to buttons — as the president’s economic and health care policies divide the nation.

Popular slogans such as “Mama for Obama” have been retooled to “To the Mama for Obama — thanks for the tax hike.”

“Yes, we can” has become “No, he can’t.”

“The Audacity of Hype” has replaced the title of Obama’s popular book, “The Audacity of Hope.”

“It really started peaking about a month ago,” Amy Maniatis, vice president of marketing at the online seller Cafepress.com, told The Washington Times.

“You see it as a direct response to some of the promising messages that happened a year ago. Whereas we had the campaign of Obama centered around hope, and it was a very optimistic message, now they’re asking: ‘How’s that hopey-changey thing going?’”

“I STILL HATE YOU, SARAH PALIN!”

My son who is serving in Iraq emailed this gem to me this morning.
Don’t let the title fool you ………

This is a deadly serious attempt to realize the vision of the 1960s and to fundamentally transform the United States of America. This is the fusion of Communist dogma, high ideals, gangster tactics, and a stunning amount of self-loathing. For the first time in history, the patrician class is deliberately selling its own country down the river just to prove a point: that, yes, we can! This country stinks and we won’t be happy until we’ve forced you to admit it.

In other words, stop thinking of the Democratic Party as merely a political party, because it’s much more than that. We’re not just the party of slavery, segregation, secularism, and sedition. Not just the party of Aaron Burr, Boss Tweed, Richard J. Croker, Bull Connor, Chris Dodd, Richard Daley, Bill Ayers, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and Emperor Barack Hussein Obama II. Not just the party of Kendall “Agent 202” Myers, the State Department official recruited as a Cuban spy along with his wife during the Carter administration. Rather, think of the Democratic Party as what it really is: a criminal organization masquerading as a political party.
