#1 She can kiss my Catholic rear.

We have a right to be heard, same as any other citizen. The Catholic Church does not endorse politicians, but it certainly does endorse stands on moral issues -- that's its job. Speaking out on moral issues? That's something the First Amendment protects.

And its not "bullying" to point out to them the largest Christian denomination in the US will not support policies that are counter to our morals -- and is morally obligated to speak out to the public and to government.

#2 I think we should investigate labor union exemption from taxes.

Any organization that gives so much cash to one party should not be exempt from taxes. Particularly one that represents government workers and then turns over millions to political campaigns of one part over the other by a massive amount.

Democrats have a vested interest in growing government bureaucracy. Increasing government union members directly increases their campaign contributions. It is a kickback.

#3 Of course criminal organizations who have vowed to destroy the United States like CAIR are perfectly ok with Rep. Woolsey right?

I'm finding more and more to respect about he Catholic Church.

#4 of course if you do it for the Catholics then you will need to do it for the Mormons too. That will destroy the bottom line for Marriott and several foodstore chains. That destruction will be then nail in Harry Reid's coffin and likely upset him enough for a heart attack. Is Lynn ready to loose her Senate Leader?

#5 I'd love to get rid of all the damn deductions, starting with chartiable. If your gawd tellz you to give, give. If your account sez give then fuck off I'd don't want to subzidizxe your priests and smoke.

#6 As a catholic ex-marine I echo Old Spook.

You cross us on Abortion you wont get a pass.

And there are millions of us. Try it and see what happens to 'ya.

Its not being a "bully" when you are the only one standing when its over. Its the end of the game.

#7 Go ahead, Democrats, pick a fight with the Bishops. Smart. Real smart coming into the 2010 elections. It's not like voters have a reason to flock to the polls for you ...

#8 We have a right to be heard,...

But for how long, OldSpook, how long?

#9 I would support a Constitutional amendment providing for constituents to RECALL sitting Congressmen for misfeasance, malfeasance, nonfeasance and DUMBfeasance. Way better than term limits, since the process could be activated at any point. Oh, and no benefits of any kind payable to a recalled Congressperson.

#10 I for one welcome this. Attack the very core of our constitution. Turn this PC standoff into a full blown firefight. Remember its "God and Country" and in that order. As far as stupid moves go, this is a keeper. Every Christian believer will have had enough and take action, the Jews who understand where this is going better than most will come unhinged. She will open the pandora's box she did not want to touch.... You go Lynn!

#11 She's just trying to get more votes in her home district (Marin/Sonoma counties), and she'll probably get them. After all, it's not like she is suggesting going after some weird New-Agey cult, or saying gerbil worming doesn't exist.

#12 How many divisions does the Pope have?

I think the Soviets found out.

#13 How many divisions does the Pope have?

Not sure, but it was around 60,000 men at Second Manassas, but Bobby Lee whipped him anyway.

#15 Ms. Woolsey, y'all may not want to 'poke' that old bear too much. He's got a good set of teeth on 'im and he's got a lot of family hereabouts. He's also got a lot o' kinfolk in the other valleys that may feel the same way he does about that particular subject.

#17 the Jews who understand where this is going better than most will come unhinged

How many among American Jews fall into that category, I wonder?

Joe Lieberman, our TW and how many others? At least 80 or 90% of those I know don't ... and that includes those in uniform.

#18 M' thinks Cornsilk Blondie has it right. As a resident of Sonoma County, I don't see a serious challenge to Dimwit Lynn, but I think she's seeing the coming tidal wave that's coming for the Donks and she's scared. She really is an idiot, but then 90% of our locals are idiots. Serious. Try driving around this county. Jeebus, these folks are freekin' brain dead - especially those with a Prius (Pious). They don't have to follow rules of the road, ya know.
