Paul Ryan thinks We don't need government, we already have our rights from God!!

You came into this world naked, and loaded up with God given rights. That's all you need...okay, maybe a few clothes too.

But government can't do anything more, and according to Paul Ryan, that's just fine with him. Life saving health care coverage...forget it.
TPM: House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) said Sunday that ‘Obamacare’ should be repealed because the rights of individuals come from God.

“I think this at the end of the day is a big philosophy difference,” Ryan told ABC’s “This Week.”

“We disagree with the notion that our rights come from government, that the government can now grant us and define our rights. Those are ours, they come from nature and God, according to the Declaration of Independence – a huge difference in philosophy.”
I've seen a number of interviews with Sister Simone, the Nun on a Bus, and I'd have to say this was her best comment. With Lawrence O'Donnell:

Pistol Whipping the Nuns on the Bus...isn't that funny?

Isn't it fun to have an authoritarian leader like Paul Ryan to show us how his policies influence our public debate? Check this out:


Raw Story: “There’s a bus full of nuns headed towards Washington to lobby against the Ryan plan,” radio host Jan Mickelson told Rep. Tom Latham (R-IA) last week. “Do you guys, do you have any power to pull the nuns on the bus over and pistol whip them?”

“They say he is evil, they say he is fake Catholic,” he added. “They’re the ones that threw the first punch.”

Listen to this audio from WHO’s Mickelson in the Morning, broadcast June 22, 2012.

Radical Communist Nuns on a Bus? The Genius flowing out of Talk Radio....

Upside down, inside out, black is white, down the rabbit hole of life, Vicki McKenna knows no bounds or limits on how low she'll go. The blathering talk host actually said,
Vicki: "I find it so amusing that the left wing, they love the Catholic Church today, because a bunch of radical communist nuns..."
That's odd; aren't the Republicans loving the Catholic Bishops right now, standing with them to oppose contraception in health care?  The word hypocrite is sounding a bit mild these days, ya think?

And that's only the beginning. In Vicki's mind, downsizing food stamps and Medicaid, kicking millions off the programs, will save the programs for those who "really need it"...like themselves, those hard working conservatives displaced by their own failed policies. Their dumb, but they're not that dumb. Here's the audio...it's short:

You'll Pay More Out of Pocket under Ryan's Plan. That's freedom?

No matter how Paul Ryan likes to package it, the Catholic Bishops and Nunns are completely against his plan. It's not a matter of debate, perspective or belief, it's a noticeably bad economic plan pummeled by non partisan critics and watch dogs. Simply put, you'll be paying more out of pocket then you ever did before.

The Nuns on a Bus tour stopped today in Janesville, and actually got the press it deserved. According to one brainwashed Republican voter,
"I'm embarrassed, that my fellow religious sisters are doing this. I totally support Paul Ryan, he may not be 100 percent, but I think he's the best we have on the foreground, that we have now, and he's making cuts in our budget that has to be."  
Funny thing though, all of this was cause by the bad behavior of banks and Wall Street, not retirees and public workers. And yet...oh well, I'll let the Nuns do the talking. WKOW:



Here's Ed Schultz with Sister Simone Campbell telling it like it is about Ryan. Devastating stuff. I loved her comments.
