The Spark of Politics

Politics. Most of you know that I am a conservative thinker. No matter which side of the political spectrum that you hail from, I always insist that there must be an honest expression of ideas and arguments. I always appreciate a vigorous discussion. We may not always agree, but I will defend my position openly and fairly. The open exchange of countervailing points of view is the crux of a democratic republic.

I openly admit that I oppose HR 3200 America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009. I do so for a host of reasons that I will reserve for a latter time. However, my primary motive for writing is to expose the deceitful tactics of the Obama Administration in trying to pass HR 3200.

This deceit can be best expressed by the administration's own attempts to refute that HR 3200 is a Trojan Horse for a Single Payer System. Click on the link below for the three minute rebuttal from the White House Health Reform Communications Office. In this video, http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/Facts-Are-Stubborn-Things , Linda Douglas explains her task of controlling the disinformation swirling around HR 3200.

However, her rebuttal is a response to a video shown on breitbart.tv, which was allegedly cobbled together, taken out of context to distort the President's views on Universal Health Care. Here is that video : http://www.breitbart.tv/uncovered-video-obama-explains-how-his-health-care-plan-will-eliminate-private-insurance/

Here is an uncut, unedited 45 second video of President Obama giving a speech at an AFL-CIO Union conference:

Having seen these three videos, you can decide for yourself whether or not Obama supports a Single Payer System. You can also decide whether or not the administration is waging a campaign of disinformation.

A distorted argument predicated on bias and deceit is untenable. The truth does not need a majority to triumph. Demand an honest debate about HR 3200 from your representatives. Please call and let em know what you think.
