The great Donald Sensing does it again, with his long memory and talent for stylishly telling the simple truth.
It has now, alas too late, dawned upon the great-and-good of the United Methodist Church that their cries for universal health care for all were heeded by their hero, Barack Obama. As a consequence, they and their clergy and church employees are about to get hammered by Obamacare.
The hypocrisy of the UMC's leadership on this issue is breathtaking. The UMC supported and lobbied for passage of Obamacare hammer and tongs, so much that then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi specifically thanked the UMC for its work in getting the legislation through Congress.
But now, as Obama's own minister once said, the chickens are coming home to roost. Unless amended, Obamacare will make health insurance unaffordable for Conferences to fund. Wow, who could have seen that coming!?!?
Now, they want their own special deal. You know, like those evil corporate interests against whom they rail.
Just toooo rich. The best outcome will be that no deal is forthcoming, and the laity get to see first-hand where their clergy have led them, i.e. over the cliff.
When that happens, OS predicts he will hear the sound of checkbooks snapping shut in every pew of Methodism. Then, real change will come, just not the transformation envisioned by all those leftists who decided to hide out in pulpits for the past forty years or so...
