House Passes GOP Budget

House Passes GOP Budget

"WASHINGTON (AP) — The House has passed a GOP budget blueprint that promises a balanced federal ledger in 10 years through sweeping cuts across the federal budget and eliminating health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act."

My favorite reader comment from the above article:

"Republicans once again take from the poor and give it to the rich in Ryan's budget.  I think that is a Reverse Robin Hood philosophy.

In America today, 6 in 10 Adults go to bed hungry at night and 4 in 10 Children go to bed hungry.  Yet Republicans want to cut food stamps which would only make these numbers increase, not decrease.

Ryan's budget will cut taxes for the very rich in this country and raise taxes on the poor in this country.  Republicans are against raising the minimum wage in this country that could help people who work 40 hours a week and still live in poverty feed their family.

Republicans want to repeal the ACA, but they want to keep the tax cuts that are in the ACA,  just take away the health coverage that 10 million Americans are now enrolled in.

Jesus tells us to feed the hungry and care for the sick.  He tells us what we do to the least among us, we do to Him.  But Republicans have undoubtedly skipped Matthew 25 while they were thumping their Bibles.

Our church has a backpack program where we fill backpacks with food for children that are on reduced or free lunches at school so that they can have food on the weekends.  But we're just one church in one city in one state.  

It breaks my heart to think that Magnolia eats better than some children in this country and that Republicans pass a bill like this."

Mormon Leader Outlines Opposition To Gay Marriage

I'm inclined to believe that the word "Hypocrite" originated with the Prophet J. Smith and his Mormon Religion! "Apes Created Man, Man Created God." Man created the "Mormon Cult." Polygamy was included and accepted in the Mormon Church, the Christian Bible. Leave Gay people alone!!--ABratt

The issue here is women reverting back to back-alley abortions that were common before Roe-Wade. Roe-wade is the LAW, abortion is Legal. And, religious fanatics and GOPER Politicians in America should leave well-enough alone.The Founding Fathers knew ahead of time that America should be under a Secular Government, not a Christian government. They had already seen the historical effects of (Christian Inquisitions). They wanted a "Secular" American Government to be the guiding-light of a Great Nation! Keep Church & State "separate" no matter what the cost for the continuation of this "secular" society! Jehovah did not create America. Man created it!

Conservative Media Freak Out Over Coat Hanger Abortion Symbol

Conservative Media Freak Out Over Coat Hanger Abortion Symbol

"The DC Abortion Fund, a non-profit group that helps local low-income women afford abortion care, has been giving out coat hanger pendants to its donors for the past four years as a symbol of the dangerous methods women resort to when they are denied access to safe and legal abortion."

This is very typical of the CONservatives of today.  They live in a world where truth, honesty and direct actions are disparaged and denigrated.  These CONservatives who desire to have their and the Government's nose up every woman's uterus deserved to be "Shocked and Appalled" at the truth of what their vile bigoted and self-serving actions create in other women's lives.

These CONservatives view the denial of women's health and reproductive care as a success and it's long past time that they finally wake up and grasp the reality that shutting down clinics only drives women into back-alleys and across borders.

Coat-hangers are excellent statements of what these vile and ill creatures create in life for women daily.

Where are any of these CONservatives in the care and development of the fetus they crow about preventing the abortion?  They are sitting in their coffee clatch congratulating themselves for inflicting their will upon others when the Supreme Court ruled in 1973 that a woman has the right to own her body.

Thank you very much DC Abortion Fund for the clear icon of what these flat-earth, Cults of Jeebus Inc, anti-woman creatures from the CONservative movement have created.  I would think they would take pride in their accomplishments of forcing women into back alleys and less than ideal conditions for obtaining care for their bodies.
