  • Arguments Against Obama Care - Flash Flyers Part II

    The concept of flash flyers was discussed in an earlier post.  If you recall, flash flyers are one of the most effective means of conveying your message to an uninformed or undecided person.  I have added two additional flyers since then.

    One flyer discusses the value the Federal Government places on a woman’s life relative to the value it places on a child’s life.  In my opinion both lives are equally precious.  However, the Feds do not agree.  Governmental actions indicate it is unconscionable to accept a mortality rate 4 out of 2,100,000 children (or 1 out of 525,000), while it is perfectly acceptable to let 1 out of 1904 women die from breast cancer.  If you do the math the Feds are concluding that a woman’s life is only 0.36% as valuable as a child’s life.  If government bureaucrats take over our health care you can expect more of these types of decisions.  To a bureaucrat you are just another number.

    The next flyer discusses four key points. 

    1)  How the politicians will force you out of your current health plan by forcing costly mandates on your company-provided plan.  

    2)  The virtual certainty that socialized medicine will by vastly more expensive than what is currently estimated. 

    3)  The Senate’s refusal to consider common sense methods of reducing health costs like increasing insurance competition and implementing tort reform.

    4)  The criminal penalties associated with this health bill if you do not knuckle under to the government and accept this new entitlement.

     
  • Detroit Residents See Obama as Hero - Tea Party Sees Another Socialist

    Sometimes you hear something that makes you stop and shake your head. You might even say to yourself, “Did I actually hear that correctly?” Here is one of those occasions for me.

    The audio clip below is from WJR radio in Detroit, Michigan. The reporter is Ken Rogulski. In this audio clip Mr. Rogulski interviewed two women who were waiting in line at Cobo Hall, a downtown convention center, for what they thought would be a $3000 government hand-out courtesy of President Barack Obama. Before you listen to the tape let me provide you with some context.

    That there were people waiting in line for a government hand-out is not remarkable in and of itself. Government hand-outs are all too common in this day and age. What is remarkable are the specific circumstances surrounding this particular government give-away of your hard earned wages and the hard earned wages of future generations.

    According to a report filed by Ross Simpson of Associated Press and aired on WJBK television in Detroit, in early October Detroit residents lined up outside Cobo Hall to apply for federal funds for an anti-homelessness program. However, many of those in line thought they were queuing up for a $3000 check direct from Obama’s stimulus program. Police were called in when the crowd got out of hand. Attendees jostled for position in line and fights broke out as they waited to receive an application for Obama-dollars. One attendee was quoted as saying, “This is bad right here, it is like three or four welfare offices mixed in one. It is irritating to me.” Police eventually had to disperse the crowd but not before 50,000 applications had been handed out. It was reported that only 3,500 applicants would actually receive funds.

    After you listen to the tape ask yourself these questions: 1) Do you think it is likely that these women are a product of the Detroit Public School System? 2) Are you surprised that these women do not know where Obama’s money comes from? 3) Do you think these women are thankful to you, the American taxpayer, for generously supporting them? 4) Do you think that liberal social policies (Democrats have ruled Detroit for nearly 5 decades) have created a mindset whereby Detroit residents expect government hand-outs? 4) Which political party benefits from having uneducated voters that rely on government largesse?

    Please forward this story to your friends and family that are slightly left of center. Ask them to consider the questions above after they listen to this audio clip. Ask them if Obama’s far left policies inspire citizens to be the best they can be. Don’t bother forwarding this to anybody on the far left, as they will not be persuaded by facts on the ground.
