So here the sound bite of the week is President Obama basically admonishing the Supreme Court about possibly declaring Obamacare unconstitutional. You can read the transcript here: The Rush Limbaugh Program- transcript of Pres Obama's words to Supreme Court
Basically, he goes to say that they would be labeled activist judges (which you can go on to read Rush's statements on that) and says that the health care bill passed with an overwhelming majority.
While there are so many other issues with his entire statement on the issue, we will be focusing on the lie that the health care bill passed with an overwhelming majority. I'd like you to read the entire transcript page there that I posted the link to, as Rush addresses the other issues with the president's statement, (I.E. he thinks of Roe V. Wade as an amazing accomplishment yet now he chooses to rail against so-called activist judges who are, this time, NOT creating a law but DOING THEIR JOB, interpreting the law? That is the DEFINITION of a judge, specifically a Supreme Court Judge. to say that they have no business doing THEIR JOB, yet to be calling CREATING a law like Roe V. Wade to BE their job, now that is calling evil good and good evil. Also, the PEOPLE have brought this lawsuit against the goverment. This isn't just something the judges decided to debate. This is the PEOPLE speaking due to the executive and legislative branch overstepping their bounds. Anyway. Read the transcript ;-) .
Now, about the passing of Obamacare. The bill passed 219 to 212. There were absolutely no bipartisan votes on this bill, and as you can see by the numbers, it only passed by 7 votes. I don't know of anyone that would call that an overwhelming majority unless there was only 10 people in the house of representatives.
Now, this begs the question: Why lie? Why say such a statement? And this is not just some misstatement or "getting caught up in the lingo." This statement is so easily fact checked that anyone with any sort of access to any type of computer could find out in .30-.35 seconds. So why did the president lie? Because he knows the kind of people that support him follow him blindly and will believe whatever he says. Why, you ask? How could people be so mesmerized, really?
I believe we don't wrestle with flesh and blood. And I believe its a combination of multiple spirits in this country.
First of all, there's the spirit of deception. This includes allowing yourself to be duped. Why do we allow ourselves to be duped? Pride. It's pretty easy to not allow yourself to be duped in the first place, but then again, maybe it isn't. Pride and self-love are pretty hefty issues.
If it's that easy to fact-check the president, why are people believing him and spewing the same jargon and false talking points.
I like to put myself in the position of, say, a liberal who is extremely lazy, doesn't know much about the health care bill, only what the president has said about it, and has a pretty hefty problem with pride and selfish ambition. If I was getting paid by SEIU to "protest" at the Supreme Court (which is happening), I don't think I'd care about what the facts were or even if I was wrong. That thought wouldn't even be in my head. I'm just doing what is expected of me, and earning a little cash in the process. And I think I'm helping the cause of the whole "free everything for everyone" crowd.
I get it. I get wanting to believe. I get not fact checking so I don't find out the truth.
But anyway, I just see this and I know, now, more than ever, especially if this bill gets declared illegal by the Supreme Court, that we are going to have to PRAY for that viel to be lifted from peoples' eyes. We have to live out what we feel without fear of misunderstanding or retaliation (evil good, good evil...)We have to be Jesus to people, and really, I know that love is one of the biggest forces we have in changing peoples' minds, in helping people see the light, in lifting the viel of pride... so that by the time the Supreme Court comes out with the verdict, there aren't riots in the streets from people who have NO idea about ANYTHING they're just upset because of what they've been told, which isn't even true in the first place...
I literally just heard this quote from Glenn Beck:
"You're not battling the Obama administration. You're battling ancient evil."

Some other things in the news I want you to check out:
The Blaze- Federal Agency spends over $800,000 in taxpayer money at lavish Las Vegas training conference... You can see a list of all the details they spent your money on...I.E. a cheese display at $19/person, $44 breakfasts every day, $7,000 worth of sushi, etc. Yeah, that $$ could have taken a chunk out of our debt...
Fact Check: Obama Film I haven't read this whole thing but from the paragraph or two I've read I think it will be pretty good.
Another thing I want everyone to do is to do some research about the diff between health care and insurance... while I have more research to do, insurance is great. Health care is what is costing this country so much money and is part of the problem. It's like asking your car insurance company to pay for every oil change, check-up, and all of your gas....I can't remember where I heard that, but it was good. :-)
