Am copying the part of Sis's news letter that doesn't have all the local news that wouldn't pertain..
Our health care in America is amazing, but after the vote taken in the US House this Sunday it’s going to change, but not for the better. I agree with what the US House Deputy Minority Whip Rep. Marsha Blackburn said after the vote Sunday, “Freedom died a little bit today!” This is, in my opinion, an unconstitutional takeover of one-sixth of the US economy and a rapid slide down the slippery slope toward socialism.
This excerpt from an internet news site is revealing: “Prominent racist and anti-Semite, Rev. Al Sharpton, in an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier made an interesting admission Sunday night. Following the historic House vote to dismantle our republic Baier commented to Sharpton that some would consider this vote to be a major move toward socialism in America.
Sharpton, in mock surprise, responded, “That’s what America voted for!” He explained that Obama was “overwhelmingly elected on the promise to transform America,” with nationalized health care the first item on his agenda. Sharpton reiterated the point at least three times saying that apparently Americans want socialism because we voted “overwhelmingly” for a man who promised just that. He made no attempt to deny that this health care bill is indeed a huge leap toward a socialist America.”
All those back room deals, closed door meetings and legislative arm twisting by Speaker Nancy Pelosi to buy the votes needed to pass the federal takeover of America’s health care were both maddening and disgusting, if not illegal. Unfortunately, these tactics have been typical of the Obama administration. Kelly Lorge sent me a story to help me celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day this week and I’ll share it with you because it fits both the Irish holiday and this Democrat administration.
Father O’Malley rose from his bed. It was a fine spring day in his new Washington DC parish. He walked to the window of his bedroom to get a deep breath of air and to see the beautiful day outside. He then noticed there was a jack-azz lying dead in the middle of his front lawn. He promptly called the US House of Representatives for assistance.
The conversation went like this: "Good morning. This is Speaker Pelosi. How might I help you?"
"And the best of the day te yerself. This is Father O'Malley at St. Brigid's. There's a jack-azz lying dead in me front lawn. Would ye be so kind as to send a couple o' yer lads to take care of the matter?"
Speaker Pelosi, considering herself to be quite a wit, replied with a smirk, "Well now father, it was always my impression that you people took care of last rites!" There was dead silence on the line for a long moment.
Father O'Malley then replied: "Aye, that's certainly true, but we are also obliged to first notify the next of kin."
