Tattoo Removing Nuns Are Pork?

When Fox News called the omnibus spending bill currently before the U.S. Congress "the President's $410 billion omnibus spending bill," I didn't think it was quite fair nor did I think it was fair the way Fox News presented one of the earmarks in that bill as I explain in this video.

The Fox News clip in this video comes from "Studio B With Shepard Smith" (with Gregg Jarrett substituting for Shepard Smith) broadcast on March 4, 2009.

The two images I fairly used from the Providence Tattoo Removal Program website are available at http://www.providence.org/resources/losangeles/tattoo/media/LAT_nunerase.pdf

And at http://www.providence.org/losangeles/services/tattooremoval/default.htm

And, finally, as always, you can find DOZENS and DOZENS more examples of Fox News bias on my Fox News bias playlist on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D

I would think that i f you want to change your life for the better and get away from crime, NOT having a huge swatiska tattooed on your face would be a plus.

I agree prevention is the goal but this not about prevention these are people who have already been involved in gangs. I think its a good program and a worth wild charity but my only issue is when Federal Tax Dollars are used for it. I also agree with the person posting the video that FOX really does not explain the program well but when it comes to cable news channels I think it is not realy fair to single out FOX when anyone looking at it objectively would say most news organizations all do it

@frankiegmh I think if it can help criminals turn their lives around, it makes people safer, and in a way, isn't that what we're spending our money on already? (police for example, the end result hopefully being safer streets, less in prisons = less federal money too)

Prevention is better than a cure, and an early cure is better than a late one :)

If removing gang-related tattoos will help keep people out of prison (a very costly thing in itself), then yes, it's a good use of funds.

And no, as usual FOX did not give anything resembling information. All it did was campaign.

[frankiegmh]

I don't think the question is if the program is good one the question is if the government should be using Federal tax dollars to pay for it. I am sure that it is a good program but I don't think it is right to force people to give to charity by giving tax dollars to these types of organizations.

[conservativesaiyan]

I have tattoos and does that make me one of them? You decide.

Answer: Yes it is a waste of taxpayer money.

Why should we help pay for another persons misfortunes? Or ordeals? While I appreciate is run by a Catholic(I'm one), it is in my opinion unconstitutional to provide our own money for the forsaken of another. Let em go private and all churches pretty much are.

No money for god. His kook followers shill up enough cash.
