Paul Ryan invites Little Sisters of the Poor to State of the Union
Washington Examiner ^ | 1/12/16 | W. James Antle III

House Speaker Paul Ryan announced Monday that he has invited two representatives of Little Sisters of the Poor to join him at President Obama's last State of the Union address Tuesday night.

Little Sisters of the Poor is an order of Catholic nuns who serve the elderly poor. It's also the group that sought protection from Obamacare's mandate to offer birth control and other drugs in violation of their religious beliefs.

Ryan was part of a friend-of-the-court brief filed in support of a case filed with the Supreme Court by the Sisters...

Gotta give credit where credit's due.

I doubt that this will get any Democrat media attention. The sight of the sisters should scare the hell out of Obola. I hope they sprinkle some holy water on him. 8-)

The Little Sisters of the Poor DO serve the elderly.

They also go out EVERY DAY and beg for their food. That is what they do.

Our local grocers and butchers quietly give them food. Those folks know that SOMEDAY they might need the services of those good sisters themselves. "What goes around..."

I love your posts, and it is good gesture.

i REAL tangible gesture would have been to defund “Murder, Inc.” otherwise known as planned parenthood.

they make the Gambinos and russian mob look like saints.

and after that video of that WITCH chomping on salad and drinking wine while chatting about dismemberment, i think some of them could be hitwomen.

real life video of a serial killer.

notice she likes to eat healthy so she can live a long and prosperous life.

that @#$@#$ @#$@# @#$@#$.

sorry.

Obola hates them but loves the Mohammedans. It’s impossible to understand.

"Choice" makes it all possible.

The debate is settled in one word.

We need to reject their vocabulary and replace it with our own.

I like to ask, "freedom to choose, what?"

Followed by, "just say it, freedom to cut babies into little pieces."

Kind puts things in a different light.

Considering the source, who cares?
Muslims, unfortunately, were given more petroleum and natural gas than can be imagined. Too bad that so many countries are dependent on it.

The LARGEST Muslim country is the world is INDONESIA...no Arabs there, only Oriental Asians.

Indonesia REQUIRES that all immigrants take on an Indonesian name. Mary Wong became Mary Chidmat.

Abortion is one of the most terrible sins against God. Imagine the punishment for those abortion doctors and those murdering would-be mothers.
Won't be pretty.

I don’t give Paul any credit. The GOP are masters of symbolism like this. He fully funded Obama’s persecution of these people.

poignant post.

and heartbreaking.

and they actually use even CRUELLER methods than that sometimes. you know them so i wont go visual.

you know, even when i was going through troubles with my faith, i NEVER was pro abortion.

it just seemed to me to be so UNNATURAL. aren’t dems always talking about how we are animals and no better than any other animal?

where’s the animal that tries to kill its baby inside.

i know, they dont have coat hangers and abortion clinnics, but if it was so natural, i assume they would ram their bellies into a rock or tree.

sounds sick and silly?

so does killing your OWN BABY!!

The Little Sisters of the Poor DO serve the elderly.

I wish I could find it again, but many years ago I read a story about the group's founder, Jeanne Jugan. She was begging in the streets for money to help the elderly under her care.

A man passing by slapped her. Jugan said something along the lines of, "You have given me something. Now please give something for the poor." The man was so moved that he became a patron of the organization.

So, yeah, the Sisters are a great group. I'm not Catholic, but they are on my charitable giving list.

If they could, they would give him the finger.

But that does not stop you and I.

I do it everyday.

Buckeye I disagree with you.

I hope he doesn’t melt.

Watch Code Pink try and grab that empty chair by Moochelle.. and why isn’t Cirque D’Soleil invited? DC is nothing but a 3 ring circus these days. It would be a good fit theme-wise, imho.
