Catholic League president Bill Donohue
It certainly isn't only Catholics who are fed up with the ilk of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and others in Congress, but Catholic League president Bill Donohue has been one of the more outspoken people on the issue of the both the House and Senate healthcare bills.
He says: In New York City, swindlers play a card game on the sidewalks called "Three Card Monte." The card dealer, using a cardboard box as his table, identifies three cards, stating that one of them, e.g., the Queen of Hearts, is the winning card: the cards are placed face down and are then quickly scrambled. The dealer works with a confederate, another con man, who plays the game only to lose. But he is actually the bait to lure some tourist who thinks he can outsmart the dealer. With sleight of hand, the dealer winds up cheating the tourist.
This is what Sen. Harry Reid's health care bill resembles--"Three Card Monte." The dealer is the federal government with its "opt out" and "firewall" illusions regarding abortion coverage; the confederate is the insurance companies with its "segregation of funds" illusions; and the loser is the taxpayers, especially those who are pro-life.
The central difference between the card game and the health care bill is that the former doesn't wind up subsidizing the killing of innocents.
Comments
He certainly does not speak for the Bishops. It sounds like he and NRLC speak more for the Republican Party than the Catholic Church.
Hey, Bill, what about all the closet homosexuals in your church? What about your ex-Hitler youth pope? What about the child abusers your church has harbored and protected? What about the millions of AIDS cases your church is responsible for? Bill, you and your church know all about deception, don't you.
