Healthcare Reform 2010 ... the legislation that could destroy the United States of America as we know it!

"Truth will ultimately prevail where there are pains to bring it to light" - George Washington

With the recent government takeover of healthcare and the future of our Republic in jeopardy; I felt the need to voice my concerns regarding this matter. Now, more than ever, we are at a crossroads as a nation. Our heritage is at stake, our identity as American(s) is being threatened and the Constitution that has guided this country for more than 200 years is being tossed out like the garbage. Government control of our lives is increasing exponentially each day and it is time for concerned citizens to get in the game and stop standing on the sideline .. the future of our children and grandchildren are at stake!

There are many people in this nation and around the world that feel the Constitution is obsolete; how post-modern of them, but that is another discussion for another time. I think it is important to underscore one of the many reasons the Founding Fathers crafted this inspired document. They knew that the human condition, which is fatally flawed, would fail to provide proper leadership and become abusive if not restrained by some type of mechanism. Keep in mind, “absolute power corrupts absolutely” and the Founders knew this from their own experience(s) across the pond. That is why they fled to America, but may I remind all of your readers .. there is not anywhere else to sail to!

Our individual rights and liberties are guaranteed to all citizens within the Bill of Rights. Those rights are endowed to us by our Creator and are not to be violated by the Federal Government. We all studied the Constitution and the Bill of Rights in school, but correct me if I am wrong .. I do not remember the right to healthcare cracking the top 10? Maybe it is in there now considering the historical revisionism that is taking place within our textbooks. Healthcare is a good/product that we purchase, not a right granted to us by God .. isn’t that why it is called a “benefit” from our employers? Don’t misunderstand me, the system is not working well and needs to be fixed, but allowing the government to take over 1/6 of our economy in the name of healthcare reform is insane and unconstitutional. It is noteworthy to mention that the government now has its hand, or should I say fist, in the banking industry, the automotive industry, healthcare and student-loans. Yes, student-loans were part of the largest healthcare reform in the history of our nation! Does anyone else see a problem in all of this government control of private industry?

We need to stop and reflect on our history as a country and really ask ourselves if this is what we want? We need to look at this progressive course we are on as a country and shout at the top of our lungs .. STOP! Review history and carefully consider what the ramifications of this legislation could be for our country. I could not care less if you are a Republican or Democrat .. both parties have been infected by the ideology of the progressive movement. And before we start “digging-in” for our respective parties; May I remind you that a progressive Republican “progresses” towards Nazism and a progressive Democrat “progresses” towards Communism. Those two government philosophies gave the world a death toll that was over 10 million, but before we, as Americans, take pride that we would never end up like Germany or Russia .. let us not forget that we have eliminated over 50 million of our own through the practice of abortion, which now has the possibility of being funded by your tax dollars. And while we are on the subject of a woman’s right to choose, may I pose a question? Why is it that so many progressive liberals invoke the Roe v. Wade decision, citing that government has no right to tell a woman what to do with her body, but now it is okay for the government to tell us all what we must do regarding healthcare?

It is time that we put the brakes on this government machine. If we do not, history has already told us what the result could be for our nation. We are embracing the destructive philosophies of Marx, Keynes, Sanger, Mao and Alinsky while rejecting the philosophies of Washington, Madison, Franklin and Jefferson. More importantly, we have forgotten about God! We have turned our backs on Him, and we are foolish to think that the decision(s) we have made as a country and as individuals will not have consequences. Stand up America and let your voices be heard!

Sincerely,

Liberal Church Becoming Mainstream

Leftist Church Leaders vs. Free Speech

by Michelle Malkin

The war on conservative speech has moved from the White House to your neighborhood pews. Left-wing church leaders want the Federal Communications Commission to crack down on “hate speech” over cable TV and right-leaning talk-radio airwaves. President Obama’s speech-stifling bureaucrats seem all too happy to oblige.
Over the last week, an outfit called “So We Might See” has conducted a nationwide fast to protest “media violence” — specifically, “anti-immigrant hate speech, which employs flawed arguments to appeal to fears rather than facts.” Their ire is currently aimed at Fox News and conservative talk-show giants. But how long before they target ordinary citizens who call in to complain about the government’s systemic refusal to enforce federal sanctions against illegal alien employers or the bloody consequences of lax deportation policies?

The “interfaith coalition for media justice” is led by the United Church of Christ. Yes, that’s the same church of Obama’s race-baiting, Jew-bashing ex-pastor Jeremiah Wright. Other members include the Presbyterian News Service, the Evangelical Lutheran Church and the National Council of Churches. These religious liberals have partnered with the National Hispanic Media Coalition, which filed a petition in January demanding that the FCC collect data, seek public comment and “explore options” for combating “hate speech” from staunch critics of illegal immigration.

Open-borders groups have sought to marginalize, criminalize and demonize those of us who have raised our voices for years about lax immigration enforcement — and to impose an Orwellian Fairness Doctrine-style policy on illegal alien amnesty opponents. During the presidential campaign, the National Council of La Raza launched a “We Can Stop the Hate” project to redefine tough policy criticism from the right as “hate.” La Raza President Janet Murguia called for TV networks to keep immigration enforcement proponents off the airwaves and argued that hate speech should not be tolerated, “even if such censorship were a violation of First Amendment rights,” according to Broadcasting and Cable News.

Now the gag-wielders have a friend in the White House — and they won’t let him forget it.
Their FCC petition calling for a crackdown on illegal immigration critics cites Obama’s own words in a fall 2008 speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Obama told his amnesty-supporting audience that he knew they were “counting on us to stop the hateful rhetoric filling our airwaves.”

Unsurprisingly, far-left billionaire George Soros’ money is backing the So We Might See/National Hispanic Media Coalition effort. And remember that the Soros-funded Center for American Progress has provided the Obama White House with its Fairness Doctrine-embracing “diversity czar,” Mark Lloyd.

Last week, United Church of Christ officials met privately with FCC Commissioner Michael J. Copps in advance of the So We Might See campaign. Copps then delivered a lecture at the UCC’s Riverside Church in New York City, expressing solidarity with the liberal church leaders’ goals and egging the congregants to take action on “media reform: “We are taking huge risks with our democracy. We need to change that, and we need to do it now. We need to get a grip on what’s happening, and we need to fix it.”
