Easter is turning into the new Christmas for Barack Obama's signature healthcare reform. Late last year senators worked round-the-clock until Christmas eve to pass the $871bn 10-year bill before the president's Yuletide deadline.

But things went sour for the final stages of the bill when the Democrats lost their controlling Senate super-majority in January.

As the Bible said, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”

These dates have not been coincidence at all. They tried to push things before Christmas and now Easter. Dates have significance for the occult. These people are truly evil. The health care bill is about “death” (abortion and geriatric genocide). Jesus is about “life” (John 14:6 — Jesus said “I am the way, and the truth, and the LIFE”). “ These people are trying to use the “power of darkness” on events that were full of “life” (Christmas and Easter).

There are no chance events in life. We can only fight these people and their ways through “prayer.” We will have to be prepared to pray and fight.

THIS IS A WAKE UP CALL AND BELIEVERS EVERYWHERE NEED TO START PRAYING BECAUSE “THE BATTLE IS THE LORD’S” (1 Samuel 17:47).

The Spirit of the Lord put this one on my heart. I usually don’t comment like this.

I am praying people finally understand this.

Thank RINO Newt and Dede for ****ing up NY-23 and giving the Dems the extra vote they needed. It may be the extra vote they need to pass this.

First Christmas and now Easter! What is it with these people and their hatred of our Judeo/Christian principles? I know, I’m preaching to the choir.

Thank you for your insightful post, it is on the money.

Obama and the Democrats are purveyors of DEATH; they hate Jesus Christ and worship at the alter of Obama, Satan and D E A T H.

"Failure to do so would risk a rerun of last August's "town hall" rebellion against healthcare that almost sunk its prospects.

Many believe a repeat of that saga over Easter would be fatal. "

Yeah.

Heaven forbid the representatives have to hear how much those they're supposed to represent disagree with what they're doing.

So don’t wait for Easter break to have town hall meetings. Start having them now. Send out representatives of members of Congress and conduct Town Halls.

Limbaugh has been saying this morning that ‘reconciliation’ will not happen.... It is being ‘sold’ by the leadership to convince the dumber House Democrats that they will have ‘cover’ if they vote for the bill.

But in reality, if the House passes this thing there is no need for reconciliation: 0bama can sign it into law immediately.

I don’t understand these procedural tricks well enough to know if that is true, but it does make sense to me.

Non-partisan analysts agree. "Democrats don't want to go back to their districts without healthcare in their pocket because they would face another onslaught from the Tea Party Movement," says Bill Schneider at the Third Way centrist think-tank.

You want to go home and face a BIGGER onslaught from the Tea Party Movement?

Then have healthcare in your pocket.

Suckers.

Joining with you, truthandlife, in tearing down, in the Name of Jesus, all of the strongholds of evil that are planned for the people of our beloved country ...

2 CORINTHIANS 10:3-5

3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.

4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Keep calling and faxing too. Especially House members.

www.faxzero.com - 2 free faxes per day.

The longer this drags on the colder the Dems feet will get. Even Easter is too late now. The elections are coming.

Special thanks to stinking RINO Newt for helping Dede screw NY-23.

Who is this President who seems bound and determined to sneak reprehensible legislation through during Christian Holidays when he knows people will be distracted?
