Nearly all of the media commentary focus on the ideology claims of church brass and not on the health and freedom of religion and conscience claims of the vast numbers of Catholics and non-Catholics employed and/or served by church-related hospitals, colleges and social service agencies. And exceedingly rare (except for my numerous blog postings) is mention of the fact that these church-related institutions are generously funded by taxes extracted from citizens of all religious persuasions.<br /><br />I will have more on this and Humanist Priorities and Strategies in an Election Year when I address the WASH meeting in Wheaton on March 3.<br /><br />Since Gary brought up Rep Darrell Issa (R-CA), if you have watched this guy on Bil Maher's show, you will notice what a slick operator he is. If you ever shake hands with this guy, you will want to count your fingers. By the way, isn't Issa the Arabic word for Jesus? Issa is of Lebanese extraction.Edd.Doerrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823666641589127370noreply@blogger.com
