I guess President Obama is taken a page from the Hillary Clinton playbook;particularly the chapter of "The Kitchen Sink".

           Perhaps I was wrong about my view of "Get Rid of God", because this week "TheBama" has called on the religious community to get behind him and his Health Care agenda under the scriptural notion of "I am by brother's keeper",yet another out of context reference trying to establish a tie to some "moral imperative" as if God "needs" a "partner". It would seem that 20 years under the tutelage of Reverend Wright he didn't receive "Rightfully Divided Word" or, possibly, received the Word and applied his own interpretations of the intent like he has done with the Constitution. Never the less, the leader of the ideologues, who rant endlessly on the "separation of Church and State" is taking the "kitchen sink" approach in trying to get the Health Care agenda through. They have demonized the Insurance Companies, the protestors at Town Halls, the Republican Party, Doctors and their practices of treatments for monetary compensations, Sarah Palin for her "capsulation", albeit harsh, of the potential of rationalization of health care based on bureaucratic outlines, to now trying to appeal to some "moral imperative" that we must satisfy based on an out of context "Biblical Principle".

           "...people baring false witness" just about had me on the floor with laughter when I heard it. As if utilizing the "language" of the church and The Bible (specifically the Ten Commandment # 9) would demonstrate his ability to "communicate" with religious believers. As though referencing "something" from scripture put him on some special "Holy footing" for his health care intentions. This is the same man who just a few months ago, reading from his TelePrompTer, that he was going to limit charitable deductions, including Tithes to the church. There is a country song out that says, "if 10% is good enough for God, then it ought to be good enough for Uncle Sam". Well we all know that isn't how Obama and Geithner,a tax evader himself, don't think so. Nor has the government in general for a very long time. Never the less, as they seem to have a compulsion to do, this administration intends to "double down" on everything, including the Christian canon of Tithes, Offerings and Gifts of Love and take "their" share of what was commanded by God. These same people, personally, are the least charitable of our citizenry, but that is another issue.

        "Am I my brother's keeper?" was Cain's response to God when He asked of the whereabouts of his brother Abel whom he had slain. This, of course, has been altered, expanded, redefined, misquoted, misinterpreted, reinterpreted and redesigned from whole cloth for centuries, or so it would seem. In this case, it is "tied" to the "Gifts of Love" or more correctly, "Sowing Alms".   In truth, "Sowing Alms" is the third level of giving asked by God. It comes after Tithes, which is 10% of "earnings" that God wants which "belongs to Him" and "Offerings", which is an "overage" that one "offers" to that whom he selects for whatever reason. Sowing Alms refers to helping the poor, widows, orphans etc. From an abstract sense, what the administration is attempting to appeal to is aid to the poor,widows and orphans but ALSO frames as an entitlement to some who are in their state of lack either by their own design or by the system. When the edict was established by God the conditions of poverty and widow status was part of the condition of the times that was common, and God commanded His people to assist in the care of these people consistent with their abilities to assist based on the individual's abundance. God's people also had a conscience that compelled them to "do the right thing",an element that has gone the way of "Common Sense" over the last 30 years or so. This administration and the Progressives that have been appointed to it include other factors that are rooted in ideological/political stances that are designed to give them more power and control over the society. By approaching the religious community, with their "language" as "sound bites" to get them to support a health care plan that has several flaws and weaknesses that seem to get revealed daily is further evidence of the disingenuousness and condescending nature of this group of people bent on total control and manipulation of the people and Constitution under which this nation was founded on and demonstrated the fairest and productive of systems in the history of mankind. In short, they keep God in the "attic" until they think "He" can serve "them" and their agenda.

         This "new" approach to addressing the Health Care imposition (not the "debate" they would like to frame it as) is merely an attempt to demonstrate just how "noble" their intentions are. The fact of the matter is there is a population of people, "Baby Boomers" who will be coming of "age" as recipients and benefactors of the national health care system that, like social security, the government cannot pay for under the present system and maintain control. The war is against the "free enterprise system" and the liberties of the citizens of these United States (operative word being "citizens"...yet another issue). Government has redefined it's role and intent. It has raised its own levels of prominence and authority at the expense of those who put them in position. They can even give themselves raises in pay and coverage for health beyond those of the people who put them in place; and for LIFE.

        The American people need to step back and look at the bigger picture being painted by the present administration and other elected officials.

......and be mindful to not get hit in the head with "The Kitchen Sink". It is sure to leave a mark.

Just a thought......
