They need to go after these fake Christians like Lyin Ryan and Boner. They use their faith so they can steal from the poor to give to the rich. That is the Republicon wet dream.
None but the Nuns could articulate the case of the people to the profit-all powerful. Glory to the Nuns. Keep the pressure on- to the politicians and to the Vatican.
Democrats are for helping the poor while Republicans want to take everything away. Which party is always claiming to be more Christian? Oh the irony...
I LOVE the nuns on the bus. I hope they'll take up permanent residence (with regular demonstrations) at Paul Ryan's offices in both Janesville and Washington.
Ryan says his "budget" is "in accordance with his faith." As the nuns might point out, his "budget" may be in accordance with his faith in Ayn Rand, but it's NOT in accordance with the New Testament.
I don't have an argument with their message exactly, but aren't they supposed to be Catholic? I get semper fi femdom, but why these particular ones making the charge? I guess I just have mixed feelings. I guess that's obvious. If they win it's the end of the Catholic church as we know it. Maybe not a bad thing, but they are Nuns. See where I have multiple asterisks? What would be more important to Nuns than next years American Budget? Why would next year's budget be more important than the continuation of the Catholic religion? Missing pieces bother me.
No, RTC, I don't see any asterisks at all in your post. And it seems to me that the message of the "nuns on the bus" -- with which, by the way, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops agrees, though the bishops might not approve of the nuns' bus activism -- is very much in line with an ancient piece of advice: "Whatsoever you do unto these, the least of My brethren, so also you do it unto Me."
I read this in another article: These nuns were organized by Network, a Washington-based Catholic social justice group recently criticized by Pope Benedict XVI — aka "The Vatican" — for focusing too much on economic injustice and not enough on abortion and same-sex marriage protests. This is the same pope who recently told Irish Catholics in a videotaped message that the cause of decades of child abuse in parishes, schools and other church-run institutions was a "mystery." Shame on "The Vatican". God BLESS these NUN on their mission because it is God's mission.

George Soros?
Ryan is as big a threat to the middle class and the poor as Boehner.
Ryan says his "budget" is "in accordance with his faith." As the nuns might point out, his "budget" may be in accordance with his faith in Ayn Rand, but it's NOT in accordance with the New Testament.
