Rep. Lynn Woolsey, a California Democrat dismayed by the House vote over the weekend to prohibit taxpayer subsidies for insurance policies that cover abortion in the healthcare overhaul, is saying maybe the IRS should investigate the tax-exempt status of the Catholic Church following its lobbying effort for the restriction.
I expect political hardball on any legislation as important as the health care bill, Woolsey writes in Politico. I just didnt expect it from the United States Council of Catholic Bishops
Who elected them to Congress?

Catholics, regardless of any position within the church that they may have, retain the right to freedom of speech whether that speech is conveyed individually or under any group banner.

Watch out Woolsley.
You may get what you wish for.
Every church that spouts your leftist Commie vomit will get the same treatment.

FU, you POS. Who made you and other congressmen our rulers rather than public servants? Who elected ACORN? Who elected all the lobbyists that the "most transparent administration EV-ah" was going to do away with? I am steaming at the arrogance of this POS and her arrogant statement.

Wonder if someone wrote Woolsey’s opinion. Had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting her more than once. She is not the sharpest pencil in the pencil-box. Not even sure she can qualify as being a pencil.

Now we know who got the 0bama Chicagoland Contract to hit the Catholic Church.
Next, coming to any church that disagrees with the messiah.
