Our Uninspired U.S. Catholic Bishops
If you ever donated or volunteered at one of the Catholic or other religious affiliated hospitals, or worked there at lower salary than you might command elsewhere, for the sake of assisting a non profit institution that serves the poor…….. The US Conference of Catholic Bishops doesn’t think you exist. You and your service and your generosity are NOTHING to them, and they collectively appear to feel that the corrupt, liberal run government, can allocate care so much better.
It’s all right here, in one of their too little, too late letters which Obama and his lefties are likely throwing into the dumpster, after using it for personal hygiene, (recycling being of paramount importance).
This particular letter states that the issue of providing health care for all has gone unaddressed in this country. Unaddressed by all of you who put your time and money toward the effort, or to those who dedicated your careers to this end. Your efforts go unrecognized as insignificant. You see, to our USCCB, things will only be right when everyone has the same miserably poor care, under government mismanagement, as exists in other socialized countries. This letter addresses the abortion issue, but utterly ignores the looming death-panel issue of government controlled rationing. In their left-bent dementia, the bishops opine that only the government can manage such an undertaking as health care for all, and until pressure from the Vatican, and Catholics cutting their funding to the USCCB set this organization to its impotent letter writing effort, they were content to support a complete economic takeover by the socialists.
The bishops’ last half hearted effort to forestall the abortion problem in Obamacare was distributed to parishes, but there was apparently no mandatory directive for the priests to promote it. Many churchgoers remain unaware of the effort.
The USCCB has been teaching, contrary to the Catholic Church, and its authority, that we should allocate our personal, charitable responsibilities to the state. Allegiance to these misguided bishops is a grievous error which will become more apparent as the state proceeds to strip the rest of our freedoms away.
Now is the time to let the U.S. Bishops understand that their leftist, socialist teachings regarding health care and control by the state are not welcome in our lives. Reallocate your charitable contributions away from USCCB interests and towards the numerous direct charities, which feed the hungry and provide medical assistance without abortions. Ask your Pastors and parish leaders to act similarly. Money talks. All of us Catholics can increase our efforts to adhere to Church Teaching. A transformation of the U.S. Catholic Church is needed.
This can be accomplished from the grassroots, as it will be done with respect to the U.S. government.
Sharpton Accidentally Correct –
Americans voted for socialism when they voted for Obama
Pharmfolk were Never Impressed with Stupak
because he never was going to hold up the health care bill MERELY over abortion.
The most attentive prolifers have always been aware of this.

Another Blast to UK Healthcare fromThe Daily Mail
Pharmer is NOT a fan of allowing patients to die of dehydration, when it can be helped, because it’s a very uncomfortable way to go.
That appears to be the way 22 year old Kane Gorney, suffering from brain cancer, left this world, and the the Westminster Coroner’s Court has referred the case to the Police Serious Crimes Decision.
It appears from the sketchy medical description that the brain tumor had an effect on the patient’s hypothalamic and pituitary function, to regulate hormone production, fluid and electrolyte balance. A significant portion of the staff appears to have lacked sufficient familiarity with the patient’s history to understand this, and administer the meds and fluids to address this problem.
Nearing the end, the bedridden Mr. Gorny called the police to request a drink.
St George’s Hospital of Tooting South London is now under investigation, as it appears to be a case of severe medical neglect.
From the Pharm, it appears that the severe burnout inherent in the socialized medical system has induced pervasive hopelessness and helplessness among health care providers, as well as their patients. The UK is now caught in an downward spiralling “whack a mole” cycle.
No Hair Splitting Here
Thanks to Christian Hartsock for dredging up a commentary on James O’Keefe from the underbelly of Busted Halo, and shining a light on it.
Among many lay theologians is the need for the intellectual exercise of moral hair splitting, which diverts attention away from huge chunks of bad judgment expressed in their own lives. At the Busted Halo, for example, one may find support for Obamacare, with little thought of the carnage of elderly and disabled people designed within this plan.
About half of US “Catholics” are congenital democrats, and through the practice of idolatry, which is NOT condoned by the religion, remain obligate democrats. This statement will hurt some feelings, but many people, who claim to adhere to the same religion as this Pharmer, are helping to destroy civilization through their erroneous political practices.
There exists ancestor worship gone wild (again not condoned by the Church) with some “Catholics” stating a feeling of disloyalty to their parents if they would vote other than democrat , even though the Washington wing of that party has morphed into a freakshow.
The proper practice of Catholicism would preclude rigid party loyalty, and instead demand that we vote for the candidates who most closely support a respect for the human rights bestowed by the Creator (which does not include a free ride using STOLEN resources). Sometimes there might be a call not to vote, in a particular circumstance, if there are no good alternatives.
The virtue of Charity is attenuated once the responsibility is allocated to the government.
The most egregious error of the US Catholic Conference of Bishops has been to allocate to the Corrupt government, the responsibility to determine who lives and who dies, by ignoring the abortion problem for decades, and by supporting socialized medicine. Only under outside pressure has come a too little, too late effort by the USCCB to address the abortion problem in Obamacare, while ignoring the reality of the “death panels” inherent in the plan.
The Pharmer is careful not to diss those who feel called to do the “dirty work” which protects us while we cogitate on religious idealisms, and dream of a world without killing, stealing and rape. One may find long term support and admiration for the non-violent work of James OKeefe Down on the Pharm, starting with his project to expose the racist based genocide by planned parenthood.
“I did not sign away my right to get the best possible health care for myself when I entered politics.”
Did Labrador and Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams say RIGHT!!! to the BEST HEALTH CARE….. NOT to be found in CANADA!
via The Canadian Press: ‘My heart, my choice,’ Williams says, defending decision for U.S. heart surgery.
Yes he did, and the insane incongruity of it all is absolutely hilarious.
News Flash for Canadians, Obama is trashing your right to pursue the best health care. Hope Ya’ll don’t mind.
Rahm Apology Misses the Mark
Rahm Emmanuel is falling all over himself apologizing for calling certain liberals Retarded.
The politically correct posturing misses the mark as it always does, and deflects our attention away from the leftist Emanuel brothers programs for KILLING the disabled.
If you recall, the Obama administration contains two crazy Emanuel brothers, Rahm and Ezekiel. Ezekiel is the Rationer of Health Care Resources, who would exclude the disabled from the government’s favored list of beneficiaries. From deep within the memory division of the Pharm comes his article in Lancet, and this video, so that we don’t forget the true attitude of these leftists towards those with disabilities.
The Politico is following Rahm’s diversionary tactics, but down on the Pharm, we keep our eye on the ball.
Rather than pandering to people with political correctness of language, we should stop insulting people with slow mental processing ability by using the word ‘retarded’ to describe liberals. Retardation is slowness, and does not imply the bad judgment, immorality, lack of ethics which plague our lefties.
We should also demand that the leftists stop their programs of killing people with disabilities prior to birth, excluding those who survive this culling from health care access, and euthanizing them.
In this blog is a treasure trove of links to the leftists own words regarding their intentions for our health care system. Searching obamacare will dredge up quite a bit. One example quotes Palin on DEATH PANELS, with numerous corroborating references appended.

Michael Moore Would have Survived because He’s Well Insulated
But this is a sad story concerning Cuban socialized medicine. A group of at least 24 mental patients died of hypothermia at the Psychiatric Hospital of Havana.
They simply were not equipped to care for the patients during the recent cold snap that brought temps down to 38 degrees. Algore’s global warming has turned deadly cold, and is more than this socialist government seems to be able to handle.
