How to Pray:

·         That the heartless and arrogant attitudes of Obama and ObamaWorld will be increasingly evident to the common people whom they scorn (Job 12:22a; Mk 3:5; 4:22).

·         That God’s WHIRLWIND will swirl amidst the agendas (Health and others) of the Elites and “scatter”, “confuse” and “nullify” them (Job 5:12-14; 12:17-25; Jer 23:19).

·         That The Church will understand and “hate” ObamaWorld’s determination to have ABORTION included as an “essential mandate” (Est 9:1-6)

·         That the two “life” issues – ABORTION and EUTHANASIA (i.e., “Death Panels”, etc.) will destroy the Obama, Pelosi, etc proposals (Ps 5:5-6)

Commentary:

Obviously, there is national outrage about the ongoing attempt by President Obama and ObamaWorld to forcibly takeover management of our lives – manifested most succinctly by the so-called Health Care “Reform”.

Obama’s response (and that of Speaker Pelosi, Senate and House leaders and the Elites in general) has been to ignore the common people and carry on with imposing their socialist agenda using arcane parliamentary tactics. 

In the words of Marie Antoinette, “Let them eat cake!”

They have an agenda and nothing or no one can be permitted to stand in its way! 

Brethren, the Obama agenda is to weave government-backed ABORTION into the health care program. This is after promising the Pope he will reduce the number of abortions.

Brethren, God HATES this and so should we! Please PRAY and ACT to defeat this evil agenda.

Limbaugh Takes on White House for VA 'Death Book' by Connie Hair

“[R]adio talk show king Rush Limbaugh was on fire over the content of the Veterans’ Administration ‘Death Book’ (pdf), the ‘end of life counseling’ the VA now inflicts on our veterans.” 

“The Obama cabinet was all over the Sunday talk shows yesterday trying to explain this away. They failed.”

“Rep. Brian Baird (D-Wash.) held a town hall meeting last week after calling some of his constituents ‘brownshirts’ in early August. Video out on Saturday shows Baird being confronted by a fed-up Marine veteran, David William Hendrick. In the video, Baird at first denied calling his constituents brownshirts, then he said he apologized.”

“Democrats are really struggling to justify their highly-unpopular plan for the government takeover of America’s health care system.” 

The Death Book for Veterans by Jim Towery

“If President Obama wants to better understand why America's discomfort with end-of-life discussions threatens to derail his health-care reform, he might begin with his own Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). He will quickly discover how government bureaucrats are greasing the slippery slope that can start with cost containment but quickly become a systematic denial of care.” 

“When the government can steer vulnerable individuals to conclude for themselves that life is not worth living, who needs a death panel?”

'Death panels' exist already by Robert W. Painter

 “Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who says President Obama's heath care reform would result in ‘death panels,’ needs to look no further than Texas to see a slippery slope like the one she envisions.” 

'Death Panels' Just A Rumor? Go Ask Ezekiel by Thomas Sowell

“The current ‘health care’ bill threatens to take life-and-death decisions out of the hands of individuals and their doctors, transferring those decisions to Washington bureaucrats. People are taking that personally — as they should. Your life and death, and that of your loved ones, is as personal as it gets.” 

“Americans also have more of what the article calls ‘amenities’ with their medical care. ‘Hospital rooms in the United States offer more privacy, comfort and auxiliary services than do hospital rooms in most other countries.’”

Death Panels are Inevitable Once Government Takes over Health Care by Andrew Klavan

“The drug of power has been sugared over in their mouths with a flavoring of righteousness. Someone has to make these decisions, they tell their friends at dinner parties. It's all very difficult for us. But you can see it in their eyes: It isn't really difficult at all. It feels good to them to be the ones who decide.” 

“It begins to occur to you that this is how you are going to die: by the fiat of fatuous ideologues—that is to say, by the considered judgment of a government committee. They are going to snuff you out and never lose a minute's sleep over it, because it's only fair, after all.”

Watching A Bad Idea Implode IBD Op-Ed 

“[A]ccording to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, co-ops would be the same as a public option. They too would apparently have a federal government board dictating policies.” 

ObamaCare Is All About Rationing by Martin Feldstein

“Although administration officials are eager to deny it, rationing health care is central to President Barack Obama's health plan.”

“The Obama strategy is to reduce health costs by rationing the services that we and future generations of patients will receive.”

Finally, Change We Can Believe In by Tony Blankley

“The current American public's roar certainly is being heard around the globe.” 

“‘One day God is going to stand before you, and he's going to judge you and the rest of your damn cronies,’ bellowed the senator’s grey-bearded adversary in an encounter replayed countless times on American television. ‘Then you will get your just desserts.’” 

“But it is very possible that something much bigger is afoot. As the lady said at the town hall: ‘I don't believe this is just health care.’” 

“Maybe the national roar is a cri de coeur from the heartland to the Capitol; just the beginning of a national vomiting of alien ideas being shoved down the national throat by a left-wing Congress.” 

Crackpot Co-Ops IBD Op-Ed

“The White House has suggested it would settle for health care cooperatives instead of the public option. Don't drink the Kool-Aid. This arrangement will be nothing more than the public option in disguise.”

“The White House is betting that when voters hear about plans to replace the public option with co-ops, their minds will drift to idyllic dairy cooperatives with white picket fences out front.” 

“In reality, there would be little difference between Washington’s co-ops and the public option.” 

“[T]he health care 'co-op' approach now embraced by the Obama administration will still give the federal government control over one-sixth of the U.S. economy, with a government-appointed board, taxpayer funding, and with bureaucrats setting premiums, benefits and operating rules.”

National Health vs. USA by Cal Thomas

“Last week, a London Times story began: ‘Hospitals Creaking Under the Strain as NHS Vacancies Are Left Unfilled.’”  

“The story reported that socialized medicine has created a shortage of doctors, nurses and other clinical staff.”

  “Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD has gone forth in fury—
      A violent whirlwind!
      It will fall violently on the head of the wicked.” (Jer 23:19) 

“You shall winnow them, the wind shall carry them away,
      And the whirlwind shall scatter them;
      You shall rejoice in the LORD,
      And glory in the Holy One of Israel.” (Is 41:16)                                  

“When the whirlwind passes by, the wicked is no more,
      But the righteous has an everlasting foundation.” (Prov 10:25) 

How to Pray:

·        EXPOSE the wicked lies and manipulations of deceiving speakers (Ps 43:1; Prov 6:19);  

·        God, please save us! Give us the precious gift of REPENTANCE (2 Chron 6:36-40).

Commentary:

The massive REVOLT taking place at the town hall meetings and “tea parties” has been stimulated by The Lord! Praise His Powerful Name! 

Thus, He has heard your CRY! He is “Whirling Out” this evil. Soon (2010 and 2012) He will also “Whirl out” the evil politicians behind it!

The Health Care Bill: What HR 3200 Saysby John David Lewis (Highly Recommended)

“We may answer one question up front: How will the government pay for all this? Higher taxes, more borrowing, printing money, cutting payments, or rationing services—there are no other options.  We will all pay for this, enrolled in the government ‘option’ or not.”

Beginnings of a Revoltby Donald Lambro

“Angry ‘tea party’ patriots who launched a nationwide grass-roots rebellion against big, intrusive government, punitive taxes and reckless spending are rallying their troops once again.”

Research Effectiveness Warningsby Kristine Iverson 

“[I]t is surprising there has not been more attention paid to the idea of a government-sponsored Center for Comparative Effectiveness Research (CCER)”

 “[L]et's stop to think about it before our race to reform health care causes us to create a Frankenstein's monster of health care bureaucracy and cost control.” 

“Treating patients ‘by the book’ is the only way a physician can be sure of reimbursement as well as a way to mitigate malpractice liability.”

 ‘Good Innings’ and Living Beyond All Care by Mark Steyn

“To retreat behind a wall of overly drooling sycophants does not help Mr. Obama at this stage in the game.”

“Anyway, there he was reassuring the crowd that provision for mandatory ‘end-of-life counseling’ has ‘gotten spun into this idea of death panels. I am not in favor of that.’ Well, that's good to know. So good that a grateful audience applauded the president's pledge not to kill them.”

“Mr. Obama has wondered if this is a ‘sustainable model.’ But, from your point of view, what counts is not whether the model is sustainable but whether you are.”

ObamaCare: It's Even Worse Than You Think by James C. Capretta & Yuval Levin

“President Obama's strategy to pass sweeping health care legislation rested on stealth and speed.”

“Legislation, meanwhile, would be composed behind closed doors”

“As details have emerged, an extraordinary wave of public concern has washed over the debate and left the plan's champions reeling.”

“[T]he details of the plan reveal that its two most serious drawbacks--its cost and the prospect of government rationing--are worse than even most of their critics have grasped.”

“So, now, at the eleventh hour, the president is hailing a new approach--vast new powers for a board of experts in Washington to set rules and calibrate fees”

“Doctors know better than anyone that efforts at such control constrain their ability to respond to the needs of the unique patient in front of their nose--and they are growing increasingly uneasy with this element of the Obama plan”

“The Democrats have some serious political muscle to flex, and they may still be able to force their plans through.”

Sarah Palin on Health Care (from facebook)

“[N]ationalized health care inevitably leads to rationing. There is simply no way to cover everyone and hold down the costs at the same time. The rationing system proposed by one of President Obama’s key health care advisors is particularly disturbing. I’m speaking of the ‘Complete Lives System’ advocated by Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of the president’s chief of staff.”

“Why the silence from the president on this aspect of his nationalization of health care? Does he agree with the ‘Complete Lives System’? If not, then why is Dr. Emanuel his policy advisor? What is he advising the president on?” 

“The public option in the Democratic health care plan will crowd out private insurers, and that’s what it’s intended to do. A single payer health care plan has been President Obama’s agenda all along”

Arrogant and Outrageous in Britain by Cal Thomas

 “What is it about politicians? Do they suffer from a genetic fault that produces such arrogance toward the public and ignorance about who they are supposed to serve?”

'Let them eat cake' Democrats by Monica Crowley

“The majority Democrats, intoxicated with power, are brimming with a haughty self-righteousness that is now veering into a prideful arrogance and self-destructive narcissism… [T]hey are now stunned by opposition to their radical plans. To them, the depth and intensity of the dissent is unexpected and shocking.”

“So the masters of the organized protest hate it when protesters organize against them.” 

“History tends to treat such arrogance unkindly. The people, pushed to their limits of patience and understanding, reach a breaking point. Meanwhile, the soulless leaders carry on self-indulgently until they are finally swept away.”  

Life is confusing beyond the Bubble by Wesley Pruden

“The congressional entitlement to privilege, wrought not by talent or inheritance but by legislation, explains the typical congressman's blindness to tint and deafness to tone, revealed in the angry ‘town hall’ confrontations over health care legislation.”

“Instead of reassuring frightened constituents, Democratic congressmen (and women) denounce the voters who sent them to Washington as Nazis, Brown Shirts and the ‘un-American.’ Harry Reid, the leader of the Senate Democrats, calls the critics ‘evil-mongers.’ Congress is dead to anything outside the bubble it has created for itself.”

“The rage at the town halls is particularly irksome because congressmen are not accustomed to anyone talking back to them.”

“When their constituents raise concerns about what's in the thousand pages of the House health care legislation… the reaction is often irritation bordering on anger, anger crossing over into rage”

Dems Unglued Meltdown on health-care criticsby Jonah Goldberg

“It's difficult for mere mortals like us to fully grasp the enormity of the Democrats' hypocrisy.”

“The reason for the panic is simple. Obama and the Democrats feel entitled to have their way on health care. This sense of entitlement is understandable. They won the election and control everything.”

“This administration believes it knows best. It feels it is the only legitimate beneficiary of ‘people power.’ It thinks it has a monopoly on democratic organizing. And it is terrified that it will be hobbled if it loses this fight.”
