Statement on the Current Health Care Debate
August 7, 2009
As more Americans delve into the disturbing details of the nationalized health care plan that the current administration is rushing through Congress, our collective jaw is dropping, and we’re saying not just no, but hell no!
The Democrats promise that a government health care system will reduce the cost of health care, but as the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s “death panel” so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their “level of productivity in society,” whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.
Health care by definition involves life and death decisions. Human rights and human dignity must be at the center of any health care discussion.
Rep. Michele Bachmann highlighted the Orwellian thinking of the president’s health care advisor, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of the White House chief of staff, in a floor speech to the House of Representatives. I commend her for being a voice for the most precious members of our society, our children and our seniors.
We must step up and engage in this most crucial debate. Nationalizing our health care system is a point of no return for government interference in the lives of its citizens. If we go down this path, there will be no turning back. Ronald Reagan once wrote, “Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we’ll ever see on this earth.” Let’s stop and think and make our voices heard before it’s too late.

The epidemic of persecution against the unborn citizens of the United States
ReplyDeleteTrampling the human rights of the unborn is much bigger than abortion and has been going on much longer than Roe v Wade, and in fact Roe v Wade is only the surface of our nation's systematic persecution and oppression of our nation's unborn citizens.
Here are just some of the other many ways that our government persecutes the unborn, and some of them make abortion look tame in comparison, so here they are...
STATE-SANCTIONED GOVERNMENT OPPRESSION
Number of unborn citizens who voted in the last election? ZERO!
(And think, every Republican we've ever had run could have won hands down if the government didn't oppress the unborn!)
Number of unborn citizens who were counted in the last census? ZERO!
(Even slaves counted for three fifths of a person. Our unborn citizens? Zero fifths of a person!)
Number of unborn citizens who own property? ZERO!
(The government and the abortionist state within a state won't even allow them to own property!)
Number of unborn citizens who are in any political office in any level of government? ZERO!
(Not even on any city councils!)
Number of unborn citizens who are in the police force, fire department, etc.? ZERO!
(The government and the abortionist state within a state won't even allow them to work in the government!)
Number of unborn citizens who are in lobbying groups that the government responds to? ZERO!
(Why won't the government listen to our unborn?)
Number of unborn citizens who can obtain correspondences with our government? ZERO!
(The government refuses to listen to them! Why?)
CONCLUSION
Abortion and contraceptives are just a symptom in our nation's campaign of genocide against the unborn. Until the pro-life movement has a leader that can address the concerns listed above as well, then we will truly never win.
