Sister Campbell: "We've got 47 million people that don't have access to health care."
BOR: "No they do, they walk into any emergency room in the country, they have access to health care FREE."
Sister Campbell: "Oh but then, please, please, then consider what that then does to those of us that have insurance, how it escalates OUR costs!"

O'Reilly interviews Sister Simone Campbell, who immediately cites Benedict XVI saying that when the market fails govt must step in.
They then explore what Jesus would do or say here. BOR is all over the place, says the federal govt should provide free health care clinics for the poor in every possible county.
But he says "...but if the country goes bankrupt in the process, which might happen, more people will be harmed, including the poor."
At 3:08 it gets ridiculous. Sister Campbell totally mauls the commandment against lying. "We've got 47 million people that don't have access to health care."
BOR: "No they do, they walk into any emergency room in the country, they have access to health care FREE."
Non sequitur Campbell: "Oh but then, please, please, then consider what that then does to those of us that have insurance, how it escalates OUR costs!"
What on earth does she think will happen if the govt gives these "47 million" all the free health care their hearts desire? That won't escalate her costs?
Well, it sounds like what she wants is to "distribute," i.e. shift, those costs from her business to everyone else's.
"I run a small business...and paying for health insurance for our employees is getting more and more difficult! We've got to find a way to rein in costs and not distribute -- [she catches herself here] -- not inappropriately use..."
Unfortunately BOR cut her off just as she was stepping in a deep pile. Distributing costs is exactly what she wants. He brought her on to tell us that morality requires us to provide health care to the poor, but she ends up calling for shifting her business burden onto the taxpayers.

Rules for Radicals
4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity”
The health care market hasn’t failed. Letting illegals go to emergency rooms and getting free health care is like allowing the shoplifters go unmolested at the grocery store and having the government step in the name of food for all.
Didn’t Obama declare sometime in the recent past that America was not a Christian nation? I find it amusing that he is now turning to spiritual leaders in the US to promote his health care reform on ‘moral’ grounds.
Regarding that silly “If Jesus (were) here...” nonsense—
***sigh*** If Jesus were here, He’d say “repent and put your faith in Me, otherwise perish.” Just like He was saying when He was here. He didn’t handle the inequities or persecutions of the Romans against the Jews while He was here. That was not His purpose and wouldn’t be if He came the first time today.
And if Jesus were here today, He’d be ruling with a rod of iron just as described in the Book of Revelation.
The best quote I’ve heard on this”
Render unto Ceasar what is Ceasar’s
Render unto God what is God’s
But never make Ceasar into a God. (Thou shalt not commit idolatry)
Only a ‘Progressive’ would take a virtue (charity) and turn it into a ‘right’!
For those liberals who advocate the government forcibly take money from you for charitable acts, I have two questions:
May I deduct the % of my taxes I pay which go toward what you consider charitable government acts? I can deduct donations to the charities of MY choice (at least, for now), then why can’t I deduct donations from the charities of YOUR choice?
If Jesus were here today, he’d probably want people to stop putting words in his mouth.
Sister Campbell: “We’ve got 47 million people that don’t have access to health care.”
BOR: “No they do, they walk into any emergency room in the country, they have access to health care FREE.”
Sister Campbell: “Oh but then, please, please, then consider what that then does to those of us that have insurance, how it escalates OUR costs!”
~~RIGHT THERE!!! THAT is the crux of it!
So, Sister C., the uninsured ARE escalating OUR costs now??? So, how does it make ANY sense to FORCE us into a NEW government healthcare system where we’ll pay even MORE???
These people have NOOOOO brains!
Ping for later
...And if Jesus WERE here today, he’d be throwing up.
At the risk of sounding like Seymour, It is DISPICABLE how these socialists clowns use God and Jesus ONLY when they have NO other alternative to ram their garbage down the throats of most of America.
At ANY other time, the names Jesus and God are offenses that need to be scorned, ridiculed and punished if used in public according to them.
Their day to answer for this will come soon enough.
How far the intelligence of nuns has fallen! This one wouldn’t be fit to sweep the convent compared to the nuns that taught me.
Exactly!
And yes, these people have no brains.
She certainly wouldn't! The long beads around her neck could tangle the broomstick. When did nuns start wearing necklaces?
Ah, this nun is crazy. Where in the Bible does Jesus say its societies responsibility to take care of people?
“May I deduct the % of my taxes I pay which go toward what you consider charitable government acts? I can deduct donations to the charities of MY choice (at least, for now), then why can’t I deduct donations from the charities of YOUR choice?”
Obama will probably nix all deductions to charity so you won’t be able to deduct anything.
Beats me. I'm Catholic, and my understanding is that Jesus calls each of us individually, addresses each of us personally. And if I'm not mistaken, that's also the Protestant take on it.
He is the Word. And that Word is the Scriptures. No one puts Words in the Words of Christ.
She cites him out of context like any other opportunist.
I thought the bird was the word? Don’t you know about the bird? Well, everybody knows that the bird is the word!
“Render unto Ceasar what is Ceasar’s
Render unto God what is God’s
But never make Ceasar into a God. (Thou shalt not commit idolatry)
Only a ‘Progressive’ would take a virtue (charity) and turn it into a ‘right’!”
We have a WINNER!
Hey Sister, the market failed because the gov’t caused the failure!
Get thee to a nunnery go!!
So hilarious...
“Where in the Bible does Jesus say its societies “responsibility to take care of people?”
Everyone is missing the point and it has to start being stated!!! WE DO TAKE CARE OF OUR PEOPLE! Every person who works is working for the government until September of every year. We give “donations” with every pay check earned. It is time that the “UNINSURED” starts asking their government what they are doing with the money we give them. If they managed our money with respect, they wouldn’t have to ask for more.
This is exactly how Christian Socialists are born- injecting their personal political/societal views into scripture. UGH.
Thank you, I try.
It is for the sola scriptura ones, anyway.
It all goes back to what my High School Government teacher said, “Conservatives think liberals have bad ideas, Liberals think Conservative are bad people”.
However, with Obamacare, that same person could have the same amount taken from his paycheck and used to support the uninsured/poor. He may still believe in the cause, but because he did not give voluntarily and in secret, he will not earn an eternal reward.
Conclusion: Obama is costing us our eternal reward.
There is no charity in forced taxation.
Render unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar. Your own obligation to your fellow man is apart from any government program.
The leftist mantra is that Republicans are “mean” because they don’t share “enough”.
However, Democrats are evil because they are dead set in their socialist agenda yet they deny deny deny their goals and smear smear smear the opposition.
The days of true debate on the issues right & left are over. The Left is intellectually dishonest (they lie) and they won’t ever concede to a superior argument.
Obama is now citing Jesus in commanding us to pay taxes for socialized medicine.
Do non-Christians also have to pay this tax?
He’s clearly acting in an unconstitutional manner.
Did Jesus expect the Roman Empire to provide free health care to all subjects of Rome, or just Roman citizens? (sarc)
