Too many evils in Congress. To hell with America.

I can’t speak for Rockitz, but tactically I think it’s better for the funding to go through for now, under certain assumptions.

Those being that the Federal funding, provides entre into a full up Congressional investigation, using subponea power, into PPs operations. From the top down. At the same time we’re up to three of the allegdly dozen or so videos that are being released in a drip-drip-drip escalating fashion. Eventually there’s a tipping point where only the most nutcase extremist Proggies will be trying to defend PP. Just like with ACORN.

PP seems to function as an organized crime operation. Al Capone went to prison on tax evasion charges and if you really want to get rid of PP figuing out how to justify a RICO prosecution is the best way to go. AND a RICO prosecution is going to sweep up a lot of the other Progressive orgs that feed PP.

Of course the big assumption is that the GOPe leadership would do that. Which, given their ongoing faithless behavior. is where this really starts to break down

House Speaker John Boehner told reporters late last week he wants “facts first” before voting to defund Planned Parenthood, …
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Let me get this straight. Not only has the RINO-controlled House read the Constitution, including Congress’s Article I, Section 8-limited powers, out loud at the starts of the last three legislative sessions, but a previous generation of state-sovereignty respecting justices had clarified that Congress is prohibited from laying taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue which Congress cannot justify under its Section 8-limited powers.

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

So there’s under 30 seconds worth of facts that actually puts a constitutionally mandated stop to vote-winning federal Planned Parenthood funding.

Put Trey Gowdy on the case, Boner.

I’m sure he’ll get you at least one fact sometime over the next 2,000 years.

Boner won’t defund Planned Atrocities and give up those plain brown envelope$ that come over the transom at regular intervals. IMHO.

One of these days God is going to put this world out of it’s misery.

Considering the recent actions of Obama and Kerry and their minions with Iran, it looks like it's going to be sooner, rather than later.

This practice has been going on for decades. Until the electorate fully grasps the depravity of PP (only a few videos have been released so far), a quick reaction by politicians, will only embolden the leftists in their attacks on politicians, make them a boat load of money to “fight” the “War on Women,” and give the democrat nominee an issue to crush the Republican nominee in the 2016 presidential election. As I suggested, “Be still and pray for changed hearts and minds in the electorate.” That will win the war against this abomination, because God is still on His throne.

“...because God is still on His throne.”

Indeed He is, Rockitz. Indeed He is.

One of the challenges is to be able to trust God, even in the face of turmoil. Where have we heard this before? Luke 8: 24-25.

Thanks for your post.

Lila Rose is being very clever in how the videos are being released. The members of congress are going home and the videos will keep coming. Enough pressure will be applied by their constituents to force some type of action when they return after Labor Day.
