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.”

Remember when ‘Friend of Obama’ Bill Ayers declared that education is “the motor-force of revolution”?

Well, it seems the President was listening and taking copious notes….

“Dig a little deeper into President Obama’s September 8 speech to schoolchildren. The school guides now featured front and center on the www.ed.gov website were developed by the White House Teaching Fellows — a group which includes several activist educators as you’ll see here.

Downplaying academic achievement in favor of left-wing radical activism in the public schools is rooted in old neighborhood pal and Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers’ pedagogical philosophy. It was the Chicago Annenberg Challenge way when the two served as board members of the educational foundation — and it is the Washington Obama way now.”

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?’”

An item from the Canadian Press: Will America be celebrating DEPENDENCE Day from now on?

Dear JB,

I am a professional military man, retired but still ready, willing and able to honor my oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies…” – The bunch of traitors, terrorists and conquistadors that presently hold “elected” and appointed office in our nation’s capitol have no intention of honoring the U.S. Constitution. Their intent is the destruction of the republic, the oppression of liberty, the crushing of all resistance and the establishment of a global government.

When Cap and Trade is passed by the Senate and signed into law by Obama, the destruction of our nation will progress rapidly. Millions will be out of work. The cost of living will skyrocket and as this process progresses, violence will fill this country. This will be the excuse for new powers for the government and for United Nations troops to patrol our streets.

The people will be disarmed door to door by troops that hate Americans. The U.S. armed forces will be down sized and those that remain, kept out of the country to protect the usurpers who are destroying this nation. The blood of liberty lovers will flow in the streets. Civil war will erupt as parents see the destruction of their families and millions of “domestic terrorists” who refuse to renounce their belief in God, Liberty and our Republic, finally resort to armed rebellion to save what they can, much too late. Once again, a dark age will fall upon the world and it will be darkest in what was once the free republic known as the United States of America.

In the name of “change” we have sold our nation, our liberty, our future and the soul of America to the forces of evil. We have sewed the wind and we will reap the whirlwind.

I do not believe any longer that this Republic can be saved. Those of us who care are not yet ready to do what needs to be done, to pay the price to retain our liberty and cage our government. Our enemies know this truth better than we. It will take force to drive this evil government from power just as it took force to establish our republic.

For those of us who swore allegiance to the Constitution, this act is not yet feasible. We just can’t admit what we know in our hearts. To even think this, is treason under the new “hate crimes” laws. The forces of Global dominion have planned well and have captured the media, education and now our government is fully in their control.

The last hope for this Republic, short of Divine intervention, is the United States Military and as long as the high command remains in the pocket of the oppressors, there is no hope.

My advice, – get right with God, do whatever you can to protect and preserve your family, keep yourself informed, keep a low profile. When the opportunity arises, defend the Republic to the best of your ability. Do not expect mercy from the oppressors and finally, live free and die hard. God save the Republic.

Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this. We don’t care. Political parties are meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution and that is all that matters to us now. We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back. We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired. Did you hear? We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them. Because we will get you fired and they will not save you. If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know who you are. If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one. We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent? What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming. We the people are coming.

An open letter to our nation’s leaders, from a concerned citizen who sees what we have lost, and what we must do to regain it. We the People are coming!

What’s “Dis-orderly?”

While state Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen perhaps has the letter of the law on his side, we are pleased to hear that Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn would have his officers question anyone carrying a gun openly in public.

Flynn’s response follows Van Hollen’s opinion that carrying a gun in the open does not necessarily violate disorderly conduct laws.

That may be true, but it doesn’t mean there aren’t or shouldn’t be limits.

Umm, the ‘limits’ are spelled out in the Constitution and the laws of the State of Wisconsin. What part of ‘right to bear arms’ eludes you, asshat? In the absence of any other unlawful activity, the carrying of a firearm is legal, and is not subject to search and seizure.

The Constitution: read it. Learn it. Embrace it.

In the next week or so, Democrats will make sweeping changes to American health care using “budget reconciliation,” an arcane process that allows Congress to minimize debate, prevent amendments, and circumvent filibusters in the Senate, a top Republican budgeteer predicts.

“You would do the same thing, too,” said Rep. Paul Ryan (R, Wisc.), the ranking Republican on the House Budget Committee and the author of the Republicans’ alternative budget. “It’s basically an insurance policy to get their agenda passed. Why would they take this tool off the table when they don’t need to?”

Reconciliation, originally designed in the 1974 Budget Act as a means for helping the government save money and keep federal budgets closer to balance, allows for certain legislation to pass both houses of Congress on an expedited basis — and perhaps most importantly, to pass the Senate with a bare majority. Despite Republican threats of retribution in the Senate, the GOP is virtually powerless to prevent this from happening.

Monday morning, March 30th, I  was listening to my favorite radio station – WISN, NewsTalk Radio 1130 from Milwaukee Wisconsin.  One of the best hosts they have is Vicki McKenna, a smart and sassy host with a great conservative point of view.  She was talking about the upcoming Tea Party rallies – the groundswell movement against Big Government – and was talking about how eachone of us as individual citizens need to take a stand and fight back against creeping socialism under this administration.

I was inspired to create some “Fight Back” T-shirts and bumper stickers in my Zazzle store. Mama Winger’s Potluck on Zazzle.com, which I proceeded to email to Vicki at the radio station.

That’s when things got interesting.

Ms. McKenna forwarded my email to the “Fight Back Wisconsin!” organization, a group instrumental in organizing these Citizen Tea Party rallies around our state. This group is part of  Americans for Prosperity .  AFP is an organization of grassroots leaders who engage citizens in the name of limited government and free markets on the local, state and federal levels. The grassroots members of AFP advocate for public policies that champion the principles of entrepreneurship and fiscal and regulatory restraint.

Mark Block, the Wisconsin State Director of AFP, then contacted me and asked me to design T shirts incorporating the AFP logo into my “Fight Back” shirts, which I was very excited to do .   In my own small way, I feel as if I too am making a change here in Wisconsin, one T-shirt at a time.  Here are some of the results from my Zazzle gallery, featuring the new “Americans for Prosperity – Fight Back Wisconsin!” T shirts .  I  hope to see many of you wearing them at the Tea Party Rally in Madison on April 15th!
