This seems to be my response lately to all Obama news. The President is seeking support from the pulpit to push his health care reform.
Thousands of religious leaders got a call from on high Wednesday when Obama reached out to Jewish and Christian clergy, urging them to push health care reform from the pulpit.
Obama spoke to about 140,000 people of faith in a conference call and webcast Wednesday evening. He and a White House official discussed the moral dimension of health care, telling the mostly Christian audience that "this debate over health care goes to the heart of who we are as a people." He and a White House official discussed the moral dimension of health care, telling the mostly Christian audience that "this debate over health care goes to the heart of who we are as a people." (from Fox News)
Obama told the rabbis that "we are God's partners in matters of life and death" and asked them to "tell the stories of health care dilemmas to illustrate what is a stake" in their sermons. And asked them to 'preach' it on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year -- one of the holiest days of the year.
WHAT???
So now Obama is in partnership with God to push his health care bill on America?
“I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” (2 Timothy 4:1-5 ESV)
Angry Mobs??? People passionately voicing their concerns which is a constitutional right are now consider unamerican and called "angry mobs". Something that has always been an important part of our history, freedom of speech, is now being demonized.
Do not let this be lost on you. This is critical to what is happening in our country; the left is redefining those rights that are basic to our way of government. Rights that are a part of our great constitution. Your rights are being redefined in a way that makes you look unamerican.
Town Hall meetings in many cases are not true town hall meetings that sprouted centuries ago in New England. They are just forums for the Democrats to get out their agenda. In our Presidents case there is little to no crowd participation. More of a press conference.
In an orderly fashion, selected members of the audience pose brief questions, and the president elaborates.
And elaborates. And elaborates.
A look at President Obama's health care "town hall" Tuesday in Portsmouth, N.H., shows the president out-spoke his audience by a ratio of nearly 9-to-1.
Here's the scorecard.
Obama: 8,619 words.
Audience: 1,186 words.
That's hardly the kind of even-handed exchange of ideas that marked the town meetings of colonial America.
Come to think of it, angry mobs, at one time, changed the course of governments that were treating its people poorly. hmmm
On Tuesday, the White House posted a blog that asked supporters to report "fishy" information they come across about the health insurance debate. The appeal was made at the end of the blog, which showed a video that countered a set of online clips that made it look like Obama wanted to eliminate private coverage.
"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there," the blog concludes. "Since we can't keep track of all of them here at the White House, we're asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov."
WHAT???
Does this make anyone else mad? Can you say Communism, because I think we skipped right over Socialism. Wake up America.

Concerning opposition:
Top White House officials counseled Democratic senators Thursday on coping with disruptions at public events on health care this summer, officials said, and promised the party and allies would respond with twice the force if any individual lawmaker is criticized in television advertising.
President Obama has only been in office for three months. Now we have HR 1388. The Bill was sponsored by Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) with 37 others. The Bill was introduced to the floor of the House of Representatives where both Republicans and Democrats voted 321-105 in favor. It passed the Senate on March 26th.
(Cost: 6 billion dollars by 2014)
This bill’s title is called “Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education” (GIVE). It forms what some are calling “Obama’s Youth Brigade.” Obama’s plan is require anyone receiving school loans and others to serve at least three months as part of the brigade. His goal is one million youth by 2014! This has serious Nazi Germany overtones to it. (think Hitler's 'brown shirts')
Also Obama's plan requires all middle and high school students to work 50 hours a year.MANDATORY! College students, 100 hours a year.
Many, however, are raising concerns that the program is the beginning of what President Obama called his "National Civilian Security Force" in a a speech last year in which he urged creating an organization as big and well-funded as the U.S. military. He has declined since then to elaborate.
The Hitler Youth were started in the 1920s, and by 1933 numbered more than 100,000. Hitler said his goal was a strong Germany. In 1934, he told a crowd at a Nuremberg Rally, "regardless of whatever we create and do, we shall pass away, but in you, Germany will live on and when nothing is left to us, you will have to hold up the banner which some time ago we lifted out of nothingness.
In 1939, membership was compulsory for children over 17. Its membership comprised 90% of the country’s young. In 1941, membership was mandatory for any child over ten.
The Give Act puts tow-headed school children and silver-haired seniors in the official uniform of the new State, (yeah, there is a uniform) and encompasses every walk of life in main-street America. "Whether you are young or old, or firmly believe that volunteering means you are offering your time to the good of community work, you will be pressed into Obama's National Civilian Community Corps."
The Bill would forbid any student in the brigade to participate in “engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization.” That means no church attendance or witnessing.
Again, is this what America voted for? Here is part of the HR1388 Bill’s wording:
SEC. 1304. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES AND INELIGIBLE ORGANIZATIONS.
Section 125 (42 U.S.C. 12575) is amended to read as follows:
SEC. 125. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES AND INELIGIBLE ORGANIZATIONS.
(a) Prohibited Activities- A participant in an approved national service position under this subtitle may not engage in the following activities:
(1) Attempting to influence legislation.
(2) Organizing or engaging in protests, petitions, boycotts, or strikes. …
(7) Engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization.
AND:
(10) Such other activities as the Corporation may prohibit.
Quote from Hitler: "The Youth of today is ever the people of tomorrow. For this reason we have set before ourselves the task of innoculating our youth with the spirit of this community of the people at a very early age, at an age when human beings are still unperverted and therefore unspoiled.
Really think about the wording of this bill. This will absolutely control what you can say or do concerning the government. Our children and grandchildren will 'learn' to not question their government. Our children and grandchildren will 'learn' blind service to their government. Our children and grandchildren will not get to choose 'volunteer' service.
Oh and the video at the beginning of this post; they used all this historical figures that have done great things to inspire the youth. Here is the difference; they did them because they CHOSE to, not because a government said they had to.
PLEASE pass this on!
I am not a conspiracy theorist or a fear monger. I have always felt that our country was a great place. I have always been proud to be an American. These feelings are all new to me, but I will not ignore what I see is happening in Washington and to our precious nation.
I do not even know where to begin, but President Obama evidently wants to begin indoctrinating our children at birth. I guess waiting 5 years is just too long for our government; get them before they can talk. The enemey wants nothing more than to get our precious children out of the hands of their loving mothers from birth.
Early Childhood Education
Zero to Five Plan: The Obama-Biden comprehensive "Zero to Five" plan will provide critical support to young children and their parents. Unlike other early childhood education plans, the Obama-Biden plan places key emphasis at early care and education for infants, which is essential for children to be ready to enter kindergarten. Obama and Biden will create Early Learning Challenge Grants to promote state Zero to Five efforts and help states move toward voluntary, universal pre-school.
Expand Early Head Start and Head Start: Obama and Biden will quadruple Early Head Start, increase Head Start funding, and improve quality for both.
Provide affordable, High-Quality Child Care: Obama and Biden will also increase access to affordable and high-quality child care to ease the burden on working families.
Whitehouse.gov is a interesting site to puruse if you want to see what is going on in the Executive branch of our government. You will want to read the changes President Obama desires to make concerning hate crimes, gay rights, adoption, AIDS, etc. We are seeing a clear socialist agenda and we must be prepared to pay a price for standing on the truth before it is all over.
Though they know God’s decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.” (Romans 1:32) Lord help us as the leader of our country gives his approval to sinful practices.
As Christians our allegiance isn't to a political party, but to the Kingdom of God. We must continue to stand on the Word of God and speak the truth whenever the opportunity arises. We can not wavier or shrink from the fight.
President Obama signed an executive order Friday striking down a rule prohibiting U.S. money from funding international family planning groups that promote abortion or provide information, counseling or referrals about abortion services.
I do not believe that taxpayer funds should not be used to pay for abortion or actively promote abortion. I do not believe in abortion. I do believe that President Obama has made it clear what we can expect from him. What a statement to make as the new sitting President.
