Before getting into this discussion let us first take a look at this word, Agape.  It is a Greek word that most church goers have heard countless sermons with this word as the subject.  The word Agape is translated in our English New Testament texts as simply “love”.

Agape love is an unconditional love; a God like love.  There are also two other Greek words that are translated into English simply as love in our New Testament.  The other two Greek words that are translated as “love” in the New Testament are, Eros and Philos.  Eros is an erotic or sensual love.  Philos is a love like that between dear friends.

The reason that this is important is because many Christian leaders and so-called Christian leaders seem to be confused about the differences in the types of love that are found in scripture, as well as to whom these apply.  This is incorrect or sloppy understanding of love is tainting their views and teachings concerning Illegal Aliens.

One verse that is often quoted by proponents of Illegal Aliens being granted easy access to citizenship is the last portion of Matthew 19:19 which says, “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself”.  Even without looking at the Greek text, one can ascertain easily that this is referring to Agape love.  It is not natural for humans to love others, even those they truly love, the same as they love themselves.  This kind of love demands help from God Himself for we humans cannot exhibit this kind of love with the Almighty’s help.  A quick look at the Greek text also reveals that yes indeed; the verse is referring to Agape love.

I have two questions for liberals now that use this particular verse, Matthew 19:19 to prove that we should throw open the borders to everyone because after all we are commanded to love our neighbors, Mexican citizens, as ourselves.

1.)  Was Jesus commanding this to the government of the day or to His followers who we call Christians today?

2.)  Do you leftists really want the government to attempt to display a God kind of love toward everyone?

If you’re a leftist and you answered “Yes” to the second question, doesn’t it go against the separation of church and state, that you hold dear, for the government to display a God kind of love toward people?  By the way Mr. or Mrs. Liberal, find for me the wording or concept in the constitution of this separation of church and state other then the 1st Amendment which tells the government to keep its grubby hands off of the church and its matters.  The constitution never tells the church to stay out of politics or the government’s business.

Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church said,

The role of the prophetic tradition is to challenge laws and structures that appear to be unjust. . . . We are meant to see every human being as our neighbor.

So the government is meant to see every human being as our neighbor, or the government is supposed to have UNCONDITIONAL LOVE for EVERY human being?  This is so ludicrous that only a mind numbed robot of leftist propaganda would buy into it.

Just as an aside, the book of 1Timothy 3:2 says, “A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife”.  One wife?  I’m guessing that the Episcopal Church is abiding by scripture and that Mr. Katherine Jefferts Schori has a lady like name for a man.

Exit Question: Why all the debate about this in the first place when you leftist Democrat socialists will vote before a bill is written, lie about what will be in it and then never read it?

At one time Joseph “Big F’n Deal” Biden was known as the dumbest senator in office. Now he’s the dumbest VP our country has ever had. He keeps reminding us of this by saying stupid things.

The latest stupid statement coming from our lowly esteemed VP is an email appeal for cash in which “Big F’n Deal” Biden compares the GOP to Nazis saying the GOP will “blitzkrieg” the Allied Forces which are the peace loving, tolerant, kind worded, and intellectual Democrat Party. In this email beg for cash “Big F’n Deal” said,

As things heat up, you can expect House Democrats will be hit with a GOP blitzkrieg of vicious Swift-Boat-style attack ads, Karl Rove-inspired knockout tactics, thinly veiled attempts at character assassination and tea party disruptions.

Our Democratic allies in the House need your help, and the President and I hope we can count on you to come to their defense so we can hold onto our Democratic Majority and continue moving American forward in a new direction.

Mr. “Big F’n Deal”, by swift-boat style attack adds do you mean adds that tell the truth about Democrats?  Of course we know that any add that tells of a Democrat’s voting record is regarded as an attack simply because the Democrats legislate far to the left of the way the American people live their lives.

The “tea party disruptions” remark is evidently preparing the Democrats who will face angry people as they conduct town hall meetings and as they campaign.  The Democrats, including the dunce of a VP, don’t seem to realize that the majority of Americans want fiscal accountability from our elected officials.  The Tea Party assemblies simply give these Americans a voice.

As to Biden’s comment about “Karl Rove-inspired knockout tactics”, I have no idea what he is referring to there.  Not knowing what “Big F’n Deal” is talking about is no bother to me as he quite often makes no sense, sometimes for entire speeches.  As an aside, his best speeches seem to be those that he “borrowed” from others.

“GOP blitzkrieg” is a rather unfortunate term for any Democrat to use these days.  Of course Mr. “Big F’n Deal” didn’t mean this as a thinly veiled attempt at character assassination, as Democrats are above such uses of language.  Obviously this was meant as a compliment.

The use of the term “GOP blitzkrieg” by the VP is unfortunate because it shines a bright light once again on the lack of knowledge and understanding of history that has become a hallmark of the lefist statists in America.

Anyone with half a brain knows, this leaves out most Democrats, that the Democrat party of today is much more aligned with the Nazis than is the Republican party.  Hitler ushered in Nazism or National Socialism.  Hitler’s National Socialism was of course a racist form of socialism, but socialism just the same.

Socialism, while not always racist, does, in its promise of equal results, intrinsically need a target group that consists of people who cannot help themselves and cannot achieve equal results without the help of a kind and loving government.  Socialism always tries to appeal to the “little guy” or the “working class”.

The other target of socialists are those whose money the government will take, or “spread the wealth around”, to give to the former target group of less fortunates.  These groups are small business owners and the middle class.

So while socialism may not always be racist in nature as that of Nazi Germany, it is always a force for class warfare as it pits one group against another or one group against many.

Socialistic Nazism pitted the German super Aryan race against all others, particularly against the Jews.  Socialistic Democrats pit the poor, downtrodden, and minorities against the middle class, upper class, and conservatives even if these people happen to also be from a minority group.

Obama and his statist brothers and sisters have done a masterful job of defining conservatives as the enemy of those lower on the socioeconomic scale, meanwhile the statist looks down on the very people it promises to help.

The statist looks down on these people through programs that tell them that they cannot achieve success on their own and the statist is more than happy to make the decisions of life for them with the promise of success in life.  This success never materializes as the promise of utopia turns into a reality of shared poverty.

Programs that involve quotas instead of taking the brightest and best teach minority children that they aren’t as smart as other people.  This is a travesty foisted upon the minority population by the very people that talk the most about “helping” them.

So we see that even though Obama’s socialism is not considered to be racist, it has race at the forefront of its being.  Let’s make no mistake about it, Democrat socialists are as racist as racists come.

The parallels between Nazi socialism and Obama socialism don’t end there.  The other parallel of the Nazi regime to the Obama socialist is that they both have a holocaust.

Nazi Germany under the control of Adolf Hitler slaughtered over six million human beings.  There is no way to say that and make it as gruesome as it was.

Having said that, the Democrat socialist, with the help of some so-called conservatives are fighting to keep the American Holocaust in business.  This holocaust has killed nearly sixty million human beings before they are even born and the vast majority of these being slaughtered are minority babies.

These babies are not slaughtered by doctors for doctors take the Hippocratic oath where they vow to, “Do no harm”.  Doctors would not perform such a miserable deed on a fellow human being.  These are murderous barbarians who take innocent life and tear it limb for limb.

Make no mistake that it is wrong to take an abortionists life also.  The taking of an abortionist’s life gives no chance for this person to repent and accept Christ as Savior.

The act of taking an abortionist’s life decides the fate of the person’s soul and is playing God just as much as the abortionist does.  Such a cowardly act also decides the fate of the abortionist’s murderer because the Bible says, “You shall commit no murder”.

Exit Question: When will the American people realize that the parallels exist, not between conservatism and the Nazi, but the parallels are squarely with the socialistic nature of the Democrat Party and Nazism.

Socialism cannot spring from conservatism as conservatives believe in a government with the limited power drawn up in the Declaration of Independence, Federalist Papers, and the Constitution of America.  These documents, followed by elected officials and the Supreme Court, would keep Americans as freemen until Jesus comes for His own.  If we lose the ability to follow these documents due to tyrannical statism, our country will slip further and further toward fascism and tyranny.

Usually with the left their intolerance is exhibited in the attempt to squelch free speech that does not fit into their agenda through political and judicial means.  The hope of the statist to put an end to talk radio rests in the hands of the FCC and Obama’s Diversity Czar, Mark Lloyd.  The strategy of the left, and Obama in particular, is to eradicate any discussion that does not agree with the socialist agenda of the Democrat party.

Representative Bob Etheridge, Democrat, 2nd district of North Carolina, however, got physical with a student on a sidewalk in Washington.

This student must have been way out of line for this good hearted leftist to grab him by the wrist and then by the nape of the neck.  To make a level headed leftist leaning Democrat Representative angry enough to commit assault, the student must have used some vulgar and profain language in addressing the congressman. This was not the case though.

What made the leftist Democrat mad as an old wet hen?  The representative of the good people of second district of North Carolina was asked, “Do you fully support the Obama agenda.”  The statist of course is above being asked questions by the lowly serfs.  This is a simple question requiring a simple yes or no answer.  This question is not even so pointed as to even be a partisan verbal attack.  It is not out of the question to think that a left leaning student might want to know if this schmuck fully supports the Obama agenda.

Even if this had been a politically charged, partisan missive, an elected official should have the brains and the self control to just answer the question without demanding to know, “Who are you!” and qualifying that question with, “I have a right to know who you are”.  EVERYTHING is a right to the left these days.  Now if a citizen asks an innocuous question of these jerks on the left they demand to know who is asking the question.  Maybe this representative of the people, don’t make me laugh, would rather be asked questions by an illegal alien instead of by an actual citizen of the US?

As can be seen on the video a crime was committed by this so called representative.

Exit Questions:  Will the DC police pick him up and charge him with assault?  Will Nancy Pelosi show she has one inkling of honor left and have this pompous idiot removed from office?

One of the things that was talked about on a daily basis at my parent’s house was American Exceptionalism.  The term American Exceptionalism was never used, but the concept of how great this country is and how special it is were spoken of and explained to me at an early age.

My father loves America and he instilled this in me as far back as I can remember.  He taught me about our founders and how they were mostly Bible believing Christians, not Deists as so many on the left have claimed.

(A great resource for information on the religion of our founding fathers can be found here http://www.wallbuilders.com/LIBissuesArticles.asp?id=8755.)

I understand that the left leaning statist cringes at the thought that this is a Christian nation with these roots going deep into our founding.  History is what it is though and cannot be changed to fit our own ideology.  History can be misconstrued by revisionist historians, but history stands unchanged.  History cannot be taken as is by the anti-christ left.  The very founding of this country and her founding documents stands in the way of what the leftist, statist wishes to accomplish.

American Exceptionalism has everything to do with our founding.  We weren’t founded by one or more narcissists who just wanted to make a big splash, be well known, and have total power over other human beings.

Our founders risked their lives for their beliefs both concerning freedom of religion and freedom of the individual.  Everything that America is, every advantage that is ours because we are American citizens, we owe to the founding fathers.

We also owe a debt of gratitude to the generations who have preceded us and have handed over to us this great nation.

My father, who had already decided to be a minister at age 17, lied about his age to enlist to go to into the military during WWII.  He was unable to serve due to an appendectomy he had when he was 14.  Hi appendix had burst and was still sore when a doctor pushed his fingers into the incision scar.  When Dad picked himself off the floor, the doctor informed him that he would not pass the physical and could not serve.

That’s what our previous generation was made of and that is the legacy of our great land.

Only in America does every boy and girl have the chance to do great things.  Not everyone comes from the same social or economic situation, but even the poorest among us can achieve great things in life.  We all get a chance.

Only in America is it understood that it is more important for everyone to have a chance than for there to be equality in results.  Equality in results takes away the chance for EVERYONE.  We all have forced mediocrity when results are equally enforced.  The person with all the talent in the world will only be as good as the person with no talent.  Also, the person with no talent will have no reason to strive to be better.

Only in America are the laws written so that government cannot legitimately overreach into the individual’s life.  The constitution is brilliant in telling the government what it cannot do.  No other country has ever had a document like it.

Only in America do we enjoy the freedoms bestowed by Almighty God, spelled out for us by Revolutionists, not who sought power, but who sought refuge from tyranny for themselves and for those who would follow them.

Only in America can we look into the eyes of our children and say, “You can be ANYTHING you want to be and that God wills you to be”.

Only in America is there true religious freedom.  There is religious freedom because we are a Christian nation.  Other religions call for the sword to be used or at least for other religions to be stopped.  Christians are confident that if the truth and light are shown beside untruth and darkness that the light of the gospel will draw all men toward Christ.  John 12:32

American Exceptionalism needs to be taught to our children and grandchildren.  The clarion call is for each of us to be vigilant in teaching others, and also in defending this nation upon which God has certainly spread His grace.

Only In America

Obama will tell you when you have.

In a speech about financial reform, given in Quincy, IL, Obama said,

“Now, what we’re doing — I want to be clear, we’re not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that’s fairly earned. I mean, I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money.”

The exact reason that Obama is pushing financial reform is because he does begrudge success.  He wants to spread the wealth around just like he told Joe the Plumber.  He wants to put a cap on success.  This cap won’t be conscious of whether the success is fairly acquired or not.  He will punish success in any way that he can do so.

This is unadulterated Marxism being mouthed by the President of the United States of America.  If you read or listened to this speech and said, “Yes, Mr. President, you are right, some people do make too much money and this needs to stop”, please remember that you could be in his cross hairs as well.  How much money is enough or how much money is too much?  Only Obama knows the amount.

Only the Marxist elitist will know when you and I have made enough money and need to be cut off or give the rest of our income to his regime so that it can be spread to those who are less fortunate.

This is NOT how an American loving, patriotic, and red white and blue waving president of the United States speaks about private individual’s income.  This is the empty headed ramblings of our Marxist regime leader, Barrack Hussein Obama.  This regime must be resisted at every level to slow down the damage that they are doing to the very fabric of our society.

Now is not the time for compromise.  If you compromise with the Devil he will promise you a cooler place in Hell, and even if he could deliver on this promise, you’ll still be in Hell.  Just as there can be no compromise with the Devil, there can be no compromise with the Marxists in our country who are lead by Barrack Hussein Obama.  Now is the time for peaceful, but very vocal resistance of everything this regime is trying to do to our great nation.

Our founding fathers wrote the greatest document ever written by man without direct inspiration from the Holy Spirit of God.  We are allowing men who lack the moral character, wisdom, and goodness that were possessed by our founders, to re-make this incredible document into something of which Karl Marx and Mao would be proud.  The Constitution of the United States of America is NOT a living, breathing document.  It says what it says and what it means doesn’t change with every whim of leftist fanatics and dictatorial zealots.  This document is to be protected by all who hold this country dear.

Exit Question: Are conservatives ready for a battle royal where we find out who the true conservative patriots are?

The Army has withdrawn an invitation to evangelist Franklin Graham to speak at a special Pentagon prayer service next month because of his controversial views on Islam, said Col. Thomas Collins, spokesman for the U.S. Army.

That is a quote from the Washington Post.  This is the mentality that allowed the shooter at Fort Hood to slip through the cracks even though there was plenty of evidence that there would be trouble ahead.  In forcing the military to accept social engineering, the government has done the military and the American people a grave disservice.

The fact that Franklin Graham will not speak at the Pentagon’s prayer service will not cause the United States of America to lose the War on Terrorism.  The mentality behind the decision is forcing our military men and women to fight this war with one hand behind their backs.

Truth should always be in fashion.  Truth about our enemy is very important.  If we cannot be truthful about Islam and what women are subjected to under sharia law, then we are well under way in giving up our first amendment rights, and all in the name of liberalism, statism, and political correctness.  Husbands are allowed under sharia law to hit or beat their wives even if they fear highhandedness.    The following is a quote from the Quran.

4:34 . . . If you fear highhandedness from your wives, remind them [of the teaching of God], then ignore them when you go to bed, then hit them. If they obey you, you have no right to act against them. God is most high and great. (MAS Abdel Haleem, the Qur’an, Oxford UP, 2004)

Of course the wife could just jump in the car to get away from the husband until he cools off a bit.  Not so fast there female property of your husband, under sharia law you, a woman, cannot drive a car.  Also, under sharia law a woman’s testimony in court accounts for 1/2 of a man’s testimony.  More information on this can be found on the American Thinker web site where you can find this article.

In the United States of America, Franklin Graham has the right to speak.  He spoke the truth and is being castigated for it by the left.  He is even lightly ridiculed by the female interviewer on CNN who obviously would not like to live under sharia law, but is so obviously blinded by her PC stupidity that she can’t see the truth.

Islam is NOT a religion of peace.  The Quran is not a book that explains a peaceful religion.  It is a book that explains a religion where the infidel looses his or her head.  It is a religion where the apostate is killed by his or her own family.  The peaceful Islamist is a radical Islamist in that he or she is not following the book of the faith of Islam.

It is time the truth were told and it is time our government and our military accepted the truth about this horrid religion and its sharia law.  Franklin Graham is to be commended for telling the truth and not backing down from that truth to appease those who don’t want to have the truth told.

It is time the government figured out who the enemy is.  First clue: It is not Franklin Graham and Christians.

What We Can do to Take Back Our Country

1. We conservatives need to remain active and vigilant to slow down the damage Obama can do until we kick Democrat butts out of office chairs in 2011.

2. Conservatives must run on REPEALING the entirety of ObamaCare and Cap and Trade.  If they do not run on repealing these monstrosities, they will not feel mandated to repeal them once we have majorities and the presidency is once again filled, in 2012, by a person who loves America again.

3. We must not rest once we have won back the majority in both houses.  We must remain vocal to let the statist know that their days of government control are OVER.  We must also encourage fellow conservatives and those on the fence to govern in the right way.

4. Conservatives must oppose EVERY new spending bill proposed by the leftists that remain in both houses and in the white house.

5. Conservatives must de-fund groups who have grown so large and important that they write law without being elected and without the law even being passed by Congress.  EPA, NEA, etc.

6. Conservatives must lower taxes on corporations as well as individuals.  When corporations pay lower taxes it frees up money to hire people, their products can be sold cheaper, and with more people working, more people can buy the products they provide.

7. Conservatives must reign in government spending on non essentials.  It’s the people’s money, not Washington’s.  We’re letting them use it and they WILL be held accountable.

8. We must accomplish 1 – 8 and then the American people will trust us once again to elect a conservative patriot as president in 2012.

9. The President and members of both houses of congress will need to immediately get to work on a complete repeal of ObamaCare and Cap and Trade.  If you fail to do this the country is doomed and history will not look kindly on you or us.

Let’s get to the work of restoring this Great Nation to it’s wonderful and great roots.

Anytime Democrats, liberals, and/or statists want to rape the American People, they use children as political shields to protect them from the light of truth.  Meanwhile, they seemingly cannot wait for the next opportunity to make murdering children more easily accessible to anyone who might be inconvenienced by pregnancy or the birth of a child.

The latest piece of (Demo)crap who played the, “It’s for the children”, card is Rep. Phil Hare, D-Ill.  In the course of defending his position on ObamaCare as something he voted for because his heart is for the children, he told the truth about what he thinks of the constitution of the United States.  He admits to not knowing, or even caring, where the constitution gives the government the power to force people to buy ANYTHING.

Rep. Hare does quote a portion of the constitution though when he says, “I believe that it says that we have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”.  Nice quote from the constitution Rep. Hare, the only problem is that you quoted from the Declaration of Independence when you were telling your constituents what the constitution said.

He then makes it very clear that he does not care what the constitution says.  We would have never guessed that this dunderhead and the rest of the pieces of (Demo)craps that voted for this bill had no regard for the constitution.  It is obvious in the way these pieces of refuge vote that they don’t give on wit for our countries founding.  This guy is just stupid enough to actually say it. Or maybe he is just that honest.

Before you make that leap of faith in this moron, he also makes a claim to have read the ObamaCare three times which would have taken him about five and a half days.  He will then not answer how many days it took him to read the bill.  Also, he will not answer, as he makes a run for it for it like a little girl, where in the constitution we are required to purchase health insurance.

Also, his heart being pure in this matter of caring so deeply for children as being the overriding force that drove him to vote for ObamaCare is empty rhetoric when this donkey’s voting record is examined.  The information below is found on http://www.ontheissues.org/il/Phil_Hare.htm.  This website offers voting records for all congressmen and senators. 

Abortions always legal, except some partial birth abortions

Indicate which principles you support regarding abortion.
Abortions should always be legal.
Hare adds, “I oppose partial birth abortions unless the life of the mother is at stake.”

Source: 2006 Congressional National Political Awareness Test Nov 7, 2006

Voted YES on expanding research to more embryonic stem cell lines.

Allows federal funding for research that utilizes human embryonic stem cells, regardless of the date on which the stem cells were derived from a human embryo, provided such embryos:

have been donated from in vitro fertilization clinics;
were created for the purposes of fertility treatment;
were in excess of the needs of the individuals seeking such treatment and would otherwise be discarded; and
were donated by such individuals with written informed consent and without any financial or other inducements.

This man has an appalling voting record on children’s issues for someone so concerned with their health.  Of course ObamaCare is not about health, it is about controlling as many aspects of American’s lives as these 3rd World legislators, pieces of (Demo)crap jerks, can possibly control.

Could any district be proud to have this jerk representing them?  Does he REALLY reflect the moral values, mental capacity, and lack of caring of our county’s founding of his constituents?  Hopefully his views and lack of understanding of the constitution do not reflect his constituency and he will be voted out as quickly as possible.  He recently kicked off his re-election campaign, so please people of Illinois, get rid of this guy and vote someone in who gives a flying flip about America.

That is what one knucklehead said after Obamacare was signed by our Marxist in Chief, Barack Hussein Obama.  I use his middle name to further endear him to the two bit dictators and terrorist nation leaders to which he has a propensity to bow.

This typical Obama voter thinks it is just fantastic that he no longer has worries about paying the bills.  Yeah, of course you have no worries about paying your bills.  You have no pride and are more than happy to have the taxpayers of this country pay your way.

I would feel sorry for Flythe if he had to go into debt to pay for a hospital bill.  Having said that, I have kids of my own and none of them are named Mr. Flythe.  Pay your own freaking bills Mr. Flythe and leave my pocket book alone!!!

No where in the United States Constitution does it say that Marty Griffith or any other tax payer should pay for this dead beat’s family to have a healthcare Christmas.

Mr. Flythe you should be ashamed that your mindset is the very illogical thinking that has our great country teetering toward despotism.  What you need for Christmas sir is a swift kick to the backside to get you jumpstarted on taking care of your own darn family and let me keep my hard earned money so that I can provide for my family.  How dare you think that you are entitled to other people’s money.

Mr. Flythe is being singled out here in a way because of his stupid remarks on the video above.  He, however, represents the mind set of the statist who would demand a spreading of the wealth from people who have earned their money to those who are happy to have Christmas presents brought to them in the form of one entitlement after another.  The statist is never satisfied just as the recipient is never satisfied.

Meanwhile Obama thinks he has a mandate to steal my hard earned income.  If a robber points a gun at you and says, “Give me all of your money”, is that right?  Of course not, anyone’s moral compass can find due North on that scenario.  Now suppose you tell him, “No, I’m not handing my money over and I have my own gun which I will shoot you with”.

Most would agree that you have the right to defend yourself and your property from this perpetrator.  At this point a crowd of 10 people have gathered and the robber asks for a show of hands for those that think that he should have your money.  After all, he is out of work, his wife left him, his car is broke down and his dog growls at him.

7 out of the 10 support his right to your money because obviously you are wealthier than the robber is.  Does having a consensus make it right for this man to take your money?  Of course it doesn’t give him the right to your hard earned property.

This is EXACTLY what the government does and is doing in such a big way with ObamaCare.  They have a consensus and a mandate to steal our hard earned money, only to turn it over to someone who has not earned it and therefore will not even appreciate it.

It is immoral for Obama to claim a mandate makes it OK to steal our property.  It is immoral for Obama to take an oath to uphold and protect the constitution and then dismantle it piece by piece.  It is just as immoral for Obama to steal our money as it is for a robber to steal it at gun point.  In fact it is worse for Obama to steal for a person in leadership is held to a higher standard.  Luke 12:48 says, “For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required”.

Exit Question:  Will we conservatives win this political war that has been waged by the statists?

We have to win this war for our children and grandchildren.  We will win this war!!!

Today I started a new project.  The new project was to start an account on Organizing For, really it is against, America and posting my first blog there.  The intention is to see how long these Obamaites will allow my anti-Obama blog entries to stay up on their site.  Another intention of course is to poke these silly Obama fool-aid, not a misspelling,  drinkers with a sharp stick.   Obama followers crack me up and I understand their delicate, tightly wound psyche must be handled with kid gloves.  I’ll try my best to not drive them over the edge of the cliff to which they are teetering so closely.  I’m expecting to see much tolerance from the oh, so tolerant left.

Below is the content of my first blog post on the Organizing For America site.  Please enjoy.

The Bottom Line Concerning Health Care

By Marty Griffith – Mar 1st, 2010 at 4:49 pm EST

A lot has been said about health care during this nearly yearlong debate.  We have heard many anecdotes about people that have not received adequate health care and stories of some who have received no health care.  Two things that statists have never answered for us though are:

1.)  Where in the constitution is the government given the power to take over our individual health care decisions?

2.)  How in the world are we going to pay for this massive extension of Medicare and Medicaid?

If an answer cannot be given to question #1, then question #2 really does not need an answer.  Government should NOT be in the business of taking for itself power that it grabs from the people.  More importantly, the government should NEVER take for itself powers that the constitution does not grant to it.  Power grabs outside of the constitution give the government illegitimate power.

For the sake of argument, let’s move on to question two even though the power grab by the government would be unconstitutional.

Medicare and Medicaid are both highly responsible for the financial ruins we find our nation getting closer to every day.   Obamacare would expand Medicare to cover the 14,000,000 people who are uninsured in the country, and wish to have insurance.  So Obama and the Democrats are going to mortgage or children’s and grandchildren’s futures by expanding an entitlement program that is a disaster financially for America’s taxpayers.

Exit Question:  Do we have the fortitude and moral character to say “No” to this governmental power grab and put what is right ahead of anecdotal fairy tales?
