Dirty Secret No. 1 in Obamacare
Town Hall ^ | Aug 11, 2009 | Chuck Norris

Posted on 08/11/2009 6:03:06 AM PDT by Islander7

Dirty secret No. 1 in Obamacare is about the government's coming into homes and usurping parental rights over child care and development.

It's outlined in sections 440 and 1904 of the House bill (Page 838), under the heading "home visitation programs for families with young children and families expecting children." The programs (provided via grants to states) would educate parents on child behavior and parenting skills.

The bill says that the government agents, "well-trained and competent staff," would "provide parents with knowledge of age-appropriate child development in cognitive, language, social, emotional, and motor domains ... modeling, consulting, and coaching on parenting practices," and "skills to interact with their child to enhance age-appropriate development."

Are you kidding me?! With whose parental principles and values? Their own? Certain experts'? From what field and theory of childhood development? As if there are one-size-fits-all parenting techniques! Do we really believe they would contextualize and personalize every form of parenting in their education, or would they merely universally indoctrinate with their own?

They could easily teach things like homemaking and parenting in the public schools, if they really considered it important.

And fat jobs with civil service benefits for our worthless in-laws. In Arizona we recently created jobs teaching Mexican women how to breast feed their babies. I am not making this up. And they wonder why I am so rabid about having my state taxes increased.

I have been teaching my 9 month old daughter that it is OK to cuss out our elected officials because it is a right granted to us by God himself. I guess that means I'm on the naughty list now!

They already tried to push this on a state level here in Oregon (about 10 years ago if I remember correctly). Unfortunately, we get to be the testing grounds for some pretty heinous fascistic crap (like this and the GPS on your car).

...then they teach all you youngsters how to behave in an Obamamerica.

Part two started in earnest in 1978 with the formation of the Department of (re)Education. Marxism is being taught, albeit subtly, every day in classrooms all across this nation. There has also been a significant and well documented "dumbing down" of the population since the 1930's.

Check out a book called The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America by Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt. Ms. Iserbyt is a former policy official of the Department of (re)Education turned whistle blower. She uses documents gathered through the Freedom of Information Act to support her case. It's a real eye opener....

I got this email the other day and wondered if others also got one. It appears to be a parody of the Axelrod/White House letter encouraging the Democrats to get out and support Obamacare.

Dear Friend,

If you’ve been watching the ongoing Health Care circus in Washington, you know that the government Health Care Takeover is a hot topic. The clever NEWSPEAK term now being employed by the Obama/Pelosi/Reid Axis of Evil is “Health Insurance REFORM”— and it’s a LIE. The rumors of death counseling provisions, the plan to ration (read that “DENY”) treatment to the elderly within the proposed over 1,000 page Democrat monstrosity of a bill have only increased as more people come to understand that it is ALL TRUE. Given the dissembling by the elitist/statist Democrats – who have EXEMPTED THEMSELVES from their own legislation – as they routinely do — it’s time to make sure everyone knows the facts about the insecurity and instability to be foisted upon us proles should this thing pass. The politicians will NOT have to stand in those long lines awaiting the rest of us as we hope to get to the front before expiring. THEY will have the finest, most timely medical care OUR money can buy them.

That’s why we’ve launched a new online resource — to help you separate fact from fiction and share the truth about the pending government Health Care Takeover. Here are a few of the reality check videos you can find on the site:

· The ever-cheery CEA Chair Christina Romer describes how this plan will put many small businesses in the crapper.

· Domestic Policy Council Director, the delightful Harmony Himmelman tackles the subject of euthanasia and clearly describes how reform helps families get rid of that troublesome old man or woman how holding down a chair in the family room and must be served meals as he/she doesn’t walk all that well now.

· Chuck “Draft Dodger” Schluter, the White House’s Director of Veterans and Wounded Warrior Policy, clears the air about Veterans Benefits, with emphasis on the new “Vets can provide their OWN health insurance” portion of the plan.

· Jack Kevorkian, M.D., a doctor serving in the White House’s Office of Public Engagement and Disinformation, explains that health care rationing is happening right among the millions of welfare people and illegals now and how reform gives control back to the Democrat political hacks now trying – with a bow (butt not too low) to Barney Frank – to Rahm this down your throats

· Bill “The Budget Buster” Goebbels, M.D., a doctor serving on the National Economic Council, explains how the government Health Care Takeover will be financed by cutting Medicare, Defense, Social Security and several other programs now considered to be unnecessary or too costly by the administration. Dr. Goebbels has just completed a thorough 20 minute audit of the recent stimulus packages and the Cash for Clunkers programs and pronounced them all sound and efficiently run.

There’s more information and a number of online tools you can use to spread the truth among your family, friends and other social networks. Got to the website and see for yourself. Be sure to have an air sickness bag handy before logging on.

The website is at http://standinlinefortreatmentanddie.lol

We knew going into this effort that accomplishing a comprehensive government Health Care Takeover wasn’t going to be easy. Achieving real change never is. The entrenched interests that benefit from stupid and antiquated concepts like patient choice, freedom and the rule of law (the Constitution) use their influence in Washington to try and keep things just as they are.

But don’t be misled. We know the America you knew as a child is no more and it is time to put aside childish things. If we do nothing, millions of older Americans – you know, like those worn out old geezers who landed on or parachuted into Normandy or froze in Korea — will survive what would or should be life ending illnesses and we extra smart folks here in Washington will run out of the funds needed for welfare payments to and health care for those who refuse to work – even if they COULD find work outside government now—and those here illegally. As they vote largely Democrat, we simply couldn’t allow them to go without. As we here in Washington are the only ones with the power to print money, we are the only ones with enough of the stuff to pay for all of this. (Of course, the end-of-life section of the program will cause those costs to shrink as the plan kicks in. The soon-to-be-proposed Soylent Green program will actually provide a revenue stream into the plan. It could become a virtual perpetual motion machine!)

Inflation? Not to worry. Your kids and grandkids can worry about that. (On that topic, when you do decide to pull your own plug, we suggest cremation and scattering as there is a distinct probability that those kids and grandkids would otherwise dig you up and drag your remains around behind one of those “green” cars – if they can find someone with enough dough to buy one.)

That’s the reality.

Americans deserve better. You deserve a health care system that works as well for you as it does for us and the millions of government employees. Well, maybe not THAT good. One that won’t deny you coverage when you need it most (with rationing, there won’t be those disturbing letters denying coverage as you will not be home to get them: You’ll be standing in that line we mentioned earlier or will have died). And there won’t be those crippling out-of-pocket co-pays. I mean, why bother. With the taxes we’ll need to pay for those illegal and welfare Democrats, the pockets of those few of you who survive will be empty anyway. Government Health Care Takeover means the insecurity and instability you deserve. Think of it as chickens – actually buzzards – coming home to roost for voting for us in November.

And speaking of elections, be sure to get out to the polls in 2010 and 12 to vote that straight D ticket. As usual, free busses will be available all election day at all overpasses, welfare housing projects and other sites where illegals/urban outdoorsmen gather. Don’t forget to ask the ACORN folks for that coupon for your pint of wine or 6 pack of Colt 45.

President Barack Obama promised he’d bring change. And if you have any change left, send it to Timmy Turbotax, c/o The U.S. Treasury. Timmy took a beating on selling his house and could use some help. Barack promised to fix our broken, pathetic and miserable lives. You can help deliver that. Visit the site and leave a message as we enjoy a good joke as we all need a good laugh from time to time.

Thank you,

I.M.Wong
Special First Member of the New White House Politbureau and Czar in charge of Health Care Takeover Propaganda
