Letting the sCHIPS fall where they may as I bite my tongue... Perhaps it is because I have come to view Catholic Charities as a classic oxymoron. What sticks in my craw is their great success in resettling Islamist Somalians into Lewiston, Maine, just miles away from where I write. I see the results of that instauration daily.
The Catholic Health Association (CHA) called into question Bush's pro-life credentials as a result of the SCHIP veto. "The Catholic Health Association condemns this denial of health insurance for children," said Sister Carol Keehan, president and chief executive officer, in a press release shortly after the veto. "Reauthorizing SCHIP represents a humane and pro-life opportunity: ensuring that millions of children-born and unborn-receive the health care they need and deserve. The President's decision stands in the way of this opportunity." The CHA has become known in recent months for its championing of nutrition and hydration in patients in a persistent vegetative state, issues that were supported by Republicans in the Terry Schiavo case. The CHA has also called on Congress to override Bush's veto.

Take off the “ckabee” from the HU and replace it with “nter”. Spell it out. Hunter. Duncan Hunter, our best president to come along since President Reagan. Check his record. If you need more, check out this one. ~Snip~ Where I part with the Texas legislator is his views that issues like Terri Schiavo, civil unions and abortion (otherwise an excellent read) are states’ rights issues in line with the 10th Amendment. I am very pro-states rights as much as Paul is. However, I do not see these moral issues as he does. I understand his position and on areas not dealing with these pressing moral issues of our day, I would fully concur with him. But the thought of, for example, abortion being legal in New York but illegal in Georgia is a problem for me. The same goes, for example, of same sex marriage being legal in Massachusetts but illegal in South Carolina.

Re: SCHIP. A 25 year old is not a minor. It has been widely reported that already, adults are abusing the current SCHIP program with no oversight. SCHIP is not going anywhere. It’s not going to be expanded by a new bill, that’s all. The media always leaves that part out.
