Radio host: ‘Pistol whip’ the nuns who are protesting Paul Ryan

A conservative radio host says that the Catholic nuns who have embarked on a nine-state bus tour to protest the injustice of Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) proposed budget deserve to be beaten with a handgun because they “threw the first punch.”

“There’s a bus full of nuns headed towards Washington to lobby against the Ryan plan,” radio host Jan Mickelson told Rep. Tom Latham (R-IA) last week. “Do you guys, do you have any power to pull the nuns on the bus over and pistol whip them?”

“They say he is evil, they say he is fake Catholic,” he added. “They’re the ones that threw the first punch.”

Quote:

The nuns are not the only Catholic group to have criticized Ryan’s budget. Referencing Matthew 25, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops have claimed that budget cuts in Ryan’s budget plan are “unjustified and wrong.” But Ryan has insisted that his budget plan is consistent with his Catholic faith, claiming he was trying to prevent “big government” from “crowd[ing] out civic society.”

Quote:

The non-partisan Center for Budget and Policy Priorities found that nearly two-thirds of the cuts proposed in Ryan’s budget would be to programs serving low-income Americans, while the his tax cuts would largely benefit millionaires. People making more than $1 million a year would see a 12.5 percent increase in after-tax income but those making less than $20,000 would see an decrease of 0.2 percent or less.

Quote:

The proposed budget is meant to prevent a 10 percent cut in defense spending and 8 percent cut in non-defense discretionary spending from taking effect. The automatic cuts were part of the debt ceiling deal signed into law last year, and will take effect in 2013 unless Congress passes a budget that provides $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction measures.

Ryan’s plan would cut programs for low- and moderate-income people while allowing defense funding to remain well above the automatic 10 percent cut, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

What pisses me off about the Catholics, and really any organized religion, is they want to impose their views on society, no matter the cost, but then want their tax breaks too.

If these Catholics nuns and their bishops were truly about the poor they would forgo their tax breaks and ask that their taxes be used for social programs.

As far as the pistol whipping comment goes the guys a putz.

Shame on him.

I hope these faux Christians that delight in insulting nuns for fighting for poor people will judge themselves to be faux Christians before it's too late for them..........and Someone Else judges them.

They are all "putzes".

It was intentional. Have you read the nun thread in the religion section?

You were totally unconvincing.

Only faux Christians would diss nuns for trying to help the poor...however they have to do it. If they have to wade into the muck and mire that is our political system to help poor people, then they obviously will take that journey.

To question the nuns motives is indeed, in my opinion, non-Christian.

The truth hurts...maybe a little soul searching would be a salve for your soul.
