The Serpent Beguiled Me And I Did Eat

Senator Gregg got a letter from some “religious leaders” whose purpose was clearly to connote a state wide overreaching feeling from people of religion; that there is a majority interest in current so-called health care reform and debate as contained in the Senate Bill currently in play.   But a cursory view of the list of signatories and their affiliations demonstrates a liberal self interest from a cabal of  theologians with left leaning agendas and connections.  Wanting the Senate (or House) Health Care bill to pass is as natural to them as it is to pocket-sized socialists Paul Hodes or Carol She-Porter.  This letter is not so much a plea for debate as it is an apple from the serpent.

Most of these “leaders” are Unitarians, Congregationalists, Methodists, and Liberal Episcopalians.  The majority of the signers or their faiths support environmental justice, reproductive freedom, and social justice.  And they are not against using your tax dollars to advance their interests including federal funding for abortions.   

My research shows that some of them are registered democrats and or Obama supporters. (I have not yet searched the entire list).   Some appear to be long time environmental activists.  Another is a fan of "The Golden Compass," by author Philip Pullman the avowed atheist committed to the end of organized religion as we know it.  Something he should know and not promote without reason.  Others openly advocate forms of "justice" that fit the left wing democrat/Obama narrative.

So what is my point?  They are pro democrat advocates and their call for open debtate on matters of reform is fraudulent.   There is no record of them supporting, advocating, or defending any of the dozens of Republican efforts at Health Care reform, or of any objection to those efforts having been abruptly shot down (including amendments) by a partisan democrat majority in both chambers. (Stupak was accepted as a parlimentary vote-getting trick and is of no consequence until reconciliation)

Calling for "open debate" is just a smoke screen for their individual and denomiational support for the democrat agenda.  This is a partisan wolf cloaked in sheep's clothing.  Senator Gregg should see it for what it is and act accordingly.

These "leaders" who affirm that all human life is sacred and state that their moral values compel them to promote and advocate this particular reform, support or condone by association, reproductive rights and death with dignity. That’s killing babies and old people for those not familiar with the argot; things which a majority of Americans are against.  Their values also promote social and environmental justice, which is code for a redistribution of wealth and resource management that invariably shifts decision making power away from you to Washington DC.  That makes them big government socialists.

So they would happily allow the government to use the rule of law to tithe you to advance their values.   

In short, they just want Gregg to get out of the way so that this train wreck of a bill can get passed into law.  And they are using their religious trappings as cover.  They don't want open debate and they never did.  If Gregg wont swallow the Kool aid or take a bite at their apple, they want him to sit down and shut up.

Girls Night Out

Never actually connected to the people millionaire Jeanne Shaheen got elected to the US Senate to some degree on the coat tails of the change rhetoric that ushered in Mr. Obama.  But much like BHO we are discovering that the sales pitch was nothing but a sales pitch.  It was a hook to make a sale after which actual service would come based on terms buried in fine print.   The terms were “more of the same,” and in some cases, with  amplification. 

Obama is still campaigning on how we went to the polls a year ago and cast ballots for the future we wanted to see.  But a year later we have not seen it, as he has yet to govern based on the future he promised.   In somewhat similar fashion, Millionaire Jeanne Shaheen railed against her then opponent Senator John Sununu for being disconnected from the rest of us, and presenting a culture of insider corruption where a privileged few get access and influence over ‘our’ representatives and their votes in the US Senate.

Shaheen promised to approach the swamp with a goal of being a man (figuratively) of the people who elected her.  If you believed her then, while beholden to abortion PAC’s and Trial Lawyers, you might not care about this.  She recently attended a ‘dinner’ at the house of millionaires Heather and Tony Podesta.  It was something of a girls night out, with Heather hosting five female Senators in her two million dollar home. A seat at the table cost $30,400.00.   

That amount of grease always comes with some expectations of future reciprocation.  Let’s call it privileged  insider influence, shall we?
