Obama using "Spiritual Language" to push health care reform

This healthcare reform bill has something for everyone and there is an equal opportunity hatred for this bill, depending on who you are and what is most important to you. Maybe you're a senior concerned about some of the end of life provisions. Maybe you're a veteran concerned about VA benefits. Maybe you're a parent concerned about home invasions and someone telling you how to raise your children. But one of the most frightening parts of this bill deals with abortion.

Many women have walked down this path. I myself struggled with this in my youth. I was faced with a pregnancy at a difficult time in my life and wondered if I should just "end it," with "it" being the pregnancy and not thinking about the child. I chose not to go through with an abortion and am grateful now that I made that choice. Sarah Palin herself, nervous about an uncertain future, ultimately made the right decision. She has such a beautiful family and they all have such a love for Trig. She is such a wonderful example of how fear can be turned into good and purpose.

A people who willingly choose to end a human life, and a government who chooses to fund it, are morally and ethically wrong. This hits at the very foundation of who we are as a nation. Does a soldier on the battlefield want to take a life? He will if he has to in order to defend his country, but it is never his first choice and always his last. And yet, our government wants to not only give this choice, but fund it as well.

It is no secret that this is a charged issue. Those who typically are the most passionate about this are those of faith. The word of God says all life is sacred, and again, an unborn child is a life. It is not a choice, it is not tissue, it is a life. So when I listened to Obama in the video below, the word "chameleon" came to mind. A chameleon is defined as "a changeable, fickle, or inconsistent person." Now, that would seem to fit our president to a "T", wouldn't you say? And in this current debate, there seems to be no limit to Obama's ability, or willingness, to say whatever it takes to get the healthcare reform bill passed. The latest insult to our intelligence has Obama speaking to a group of spiritual leaders, using "enlightened" words in order to persuade them into supporting this legislation, including abortion. I am not pleased that our President, whose spiritual background is unclear, invokes spiritual phraseology to suit his mood, the climate, or who he is speaking to. He will say and do whatever it takes to get this bill passed! Please watch this video.



"Abortion is not excluded and that means that, based on past history with congress, it will be included." I work for an attorney. Something that is not excluded is presumed to be allowed. If this legislation is allowed to move forward, our tax dollars will be paying to end lives, in more ways than I can count. Add that to the Sarah Palin's "death panel" debate.

Do you believe the Constitution is the rule of law? Do you believe in the original intent of our founding fathers? Do you want to reform Congress? If your answer is yes, we have to work together to make this happen.

Great post Tracey! The MSM would have us think that Sarah Palin is incredulous when she refers to Obama's "Death Panels." The fact is, Obama's death panel is real and it's hand picked Czar is Rahm Emanuels (White House Chief of Staff) brother Ezekiel. Here's an article I wrote with a link to Deadly Doctors by Betsy McCaughey.

Once again, Sarah Palin is the one who speaks the truth while the new administration and his propagandist's continue their campaign of obfuscation and deceit.

Hi Tracey,

I just posted my newest post at my blog and C4P (slightly different articles), and I see we're on the same page. Yes, isn't it interesting how people use religious jargon when it suits them, but shuns it at other times? Speaks volumes, doesn't it? That's what I respect most about Sarah Palin; she just is who she is.
