'Tis a Puzzlement:
Michelle Boorstein can't get her head around the fact that the Vatican seems totally lost when it comes to the misdeeds of its priests. Her Washington Post article, "Lack of Vatican communications strategy on scandal baffles pope's U. S. defenders," reflects some of the issues on The See's seemingly witless response to the pedophilia that is starting to feel endemic within the church. It isn't until the end of the article that Boorstein finally begins to address some of the real issues. The church relishes suffering. It's a central part of the philosophy, the tradition. It's all about Adam and that woman.

The truth about Obama's liberalfascist healthcare sham -
Obama's health care reform bill is not really reform but corporate socialism that will bilk Americans out of more of their money for premiums and force them to pay more of their money to corporate health giants. Not only this it will curtail our civil liberties and lead us into socialist despotism.
In fact the bill is like Massachusetts health care but far far worse. Liberal elitists in the media and elsewhere have been fighting to keep down the facts of Obama's evil health care insurance plan and how it will not only raise your taxes, siphon money to illegal aliens and lazy bums, deny you your right to choose and force you to buy insurance that is unaffordable and ineffective but cost you your civil liberties and human rights.
Despite the best efforts, members of the far left have spoken out in condemnation of the health care bill. This ranges from Community activists to groups that aid the very poor and the homeless. The truth is starting to come out and many are beginning to regret their unconditional support for the one. The bill in fact does more to hurt the poor, the very people that liberals claim to support the most.
Consider the following facts:
1. The bill would require that you either enroll with government health care or purchase your own health care plan even if you cannot afford it or be faced with a heavy fine.
2. Mandating health insurance will have a similar effect to when car insurance was mandated, it will destroy free market incentives for insurance companies to lower costs and premiums and provide better services meaning that your prices will go up, and up and up and up.
3. The new taxes and regulations WILL NOT REDUCE COSTS AND PREVENT FRAUD! Instead it will drive up premiums forcing you to pay even more!
4. The bill will provides skimpy coverage and does not force insurance to protect you from serious ailments. This means that if you or your child suffer a severe injury or illness you could find yourself bankrupt!
5. The bill prevents you from leaving ineffective health plans that are offered by your employer or choosing your doctors.
6. The bill requires businesses to have insurance for all employees. This means they will either go out of business or lay off workers, cut salaries and benefits and increase costs to compensate. They will also have to offer them for their slacker kids as well.
7. Insurance companies WILL be prevented from offering coverage policies that will lower costs such as life time or annual limits.
8. All those who regardless of how much they make will be required to pay an addition 0.5% payroll tax that will eventually rise to 3% in several years.
9. The bill takes 25 million dollars away from homeless and indignant medical services as well as cut spending on medicare.
And this is just the tip of the ice berg... In fact consider the following:
Democrats such as Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton and John Edwards are calling for not just mandatory coverage but that ALL AMERICANS RECEIVE MANDATORY MENTAL HEALTH EXAMINATIONS AND TREATMENT! This means that you will be forced to see a psychiatrist (The vast majority of whom are socialist Nazis) Who will dictate how to run your affairs, force you to take powerful brain damaging drugs and has the power to take away your liberty or your child's liberty!!! Many of These psychiatrists consider liberty and freedom to be dangerous concepts and a form of mental illness. Refusal to comply with their demands can lead to indefinite incarceration in institutions
THIS GUY SHOULD BE IMPEACHED FOR SEVERAL REASONS.

Feel free to respond to the stupid, racist rant above. The health care bill is, in fact, the same bill that the Republicans offered in 1994 to counter the Clinton bill, and it is far more conservative than the health care bill offered up by Richard Nixon.
In truth, we would be better off with socialized medicine, like the Canadians and the British.
