Miracles really do happen’: Rep. Steve Scalise returns to Congress, 15 weeks after shooting
Washington Post, Sep 28, 2017

House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, who was at “imminent risk of death” when he was rushed to the hospital with a gunshot wound 15 weeks ago, made a dramatic return to the U.S. Capitol Thursday.

Scalise entered the House chamber on crutches to a roar of bipartisan applause, embraced several of his colleagues, and delivered his first floor remarks since the June 14 shooting.

“You have no idea how do this feels, to be back at work in the people’s House,” Scalise said, adding, “I’m definitely a living example that miracles really do happen.”

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Needs to be stated clearly and often, he was shot by a violent leftist Bernie/Hillary type supporter.

Thank goodness he had an excellent health plan.    Now maybe he can work to make a similar plan available to all Americans.
