Religion and Moral Obligation to Healthcare Reform

[NancyGray1]

Ed you have no morals! How many abortions has you daughter had? Or woman in your life? So sad that liberals have no appreciation for human life. It is a HEALTH ISSUE AFTER WOMEN HAVE ABORTIONS! LOOK IT UP! Also it is not called "abortion" it is called killing a child!

I thought liberals believe in a separation of church and state at all costs. They don't want God on our moeny but they want God to be a key issue in Healthcare. Whenver liberals pretend to believe in God you know their motives are dubious.

Ed, like so many people, doesn't seem to get that there is no such thing as the "right to life", meaning the sustenance of my life at your expense.  I do not have the right to reach into your pocket over your objections to pay for my health care. Period. The notion, therefore, of socialized medicine being a "moral obligation" is fallacious. I don't give a flying flip what system other countries have; this is America, we do things differently, and I'm darned proud of it!

Great interview!

Let's see: it's OK for the government to prevent a same-sex couple from marrying because some religion doesn't like it, but those same religions want the government to stay out of their own lives...

They can quote scripture to get what they personally want, but it's not OK to quote scripture when it means it might cost them money. What hypocrites!

This is why I am no longer a Christian, and no longer a Republican.

The Family Research Council does nothing but lie, lie, lie. Not surprising since many of them are preachers, whose vocation is lying.

The inconvenient truth of morality is overlooked concerning abortion issue.

How interesting that liberals now exercise the moral imperative as they attempt imposition of mandatory healthcare for all!

The US Constitution is a twenty + page limiting political compact which lists what the government cant do to you. Contrast that with HR3200. A one thousand + page proposed social compact that enables government bureaucrats to shackle citizens in the name of supposed moral fairness

Us liberals just enjoy pointing out to you Lemmings on the right what a bunch of hippocrites you are. Life begins at conception and ends a birth. PLEASE don't tell me you're a compassionate conservative Christian.

I'll sign off with a quote from the most famous member of the Hindu faith - Mohandas Gandhi.

"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."

Right wing christians love the bible but hate the teachings of christ. They love the old testament (waging war and the suffering OF your enemies) and hate the new testament (preaching peace and suffering FOR your enemies). They love the fetus (anti-abortion) but hate the baby (anti-WIC, anti-SCHIP, anti-welfare for children). They say they love christ ('Whatever you do unto the least of these, you do unto me.') then they do nothing for the poor but blame them...

Tony Perkins is totally right.

Tony Perkins=huge,, huge hypocrite.

[deadmeat343]

Ed sucked balls, the guy was talking about "scripture" when he was ranting and raving about gay marriage being an abomination. He a Christian called the bible and the teachings of Jesus as mere scripture and Ed did not call him out on that.

Tony Perkins / Religious Nut Bag of the "worst kind". The hypocrisy of these group's is more than proven, Tony Perkins personally-by this interview. I absolutely must maintain these groups are essentially cults,-Doomsday Cults! "God is Love", not religionism. Maybe we should teach religion in school,-but teach the Truth about it, the savage history! Every other civilized country in the world has Health Care, thanks to these "fruit cakes"-potentially, no public option for us. Evil Jerks!

The democratic party has a majority of seats in both houses,,ask yourself why?

Because a majority of the electorate voted for them based on progressive ideas including healthcare ,including a public option,this was a cornerstone of the obama campaign and was no secret,,,democrats had and have a popular mandate

It is how they represent the majority who sent them to washington
