A mushrooming political battle over ObamaCare involving the White House, two incumbent Pennsylvania congressmen, three Catholic hospitals and a nun has just exploded in, of all places, Scranton, Pennsylvania. Charges from the Scranton medical community of intimidation by the Obama White House and its allies are filling the air.

All of this just as Vice President Joe Biden arrives in Scranton today to raise money for one of the participants.

That disobedient nun and the others who signed that letter to the Bishops (the head nun of the order who taught at my high school in Dallas) is the chief reason that the order who taught me will never see a dollar for the retired sisters.

I hope this goes viral all over!

Mercy Hospitals are wonderful hospitals. This sister is a loose cannon that needs to be removed from her position.

The religous folks in general - in this case the nun in particular - are just as corrupt as politicians.

No wonder. In either case it’s all about setting yourself up in a position of power to control people and their money.

Period.

Anyone who can’t see that clearly, isn’t playing with a full deck.

And an odd name it is, for a nun. Sister Carol. (Ou sont les Maries d'antan?)

SCRANTON, Pa.

Joe Biden was born at Mercy Hospital, went to school at St. Paul’s, played baseball at Maloney Field, scrapped with local toughs, skinned his knees on the dirt roads. When he returns to his old Green Ridge neighborhood, where he spent the first 10 years of his life, he likes to pick up a “regular hoagie,” the one with the special sauce, at Hank’s Hoagies.

He was born in Mercy Hospital. His family lived in the city’s Green Ridge section and left for Delaware when he was 10, but he often returned for summer vacations and family visits.
