MONOLOGUE – March 19, 2010

I want to talk first about two things that are on my mind. Today is the last day we’ll be broadcasting to you before the vote that is now widely expected to take place on Sunday. It is still unclear whether the Democrats have the votes that they need to force this health care monstrosity down our throats. They’re putting on a brave face if they don’t, they’re certainly spinning the media feverishly saying that it is all but certain that they will and at the moment I think it is too close to call. But for that reason, I just wanted to share with you again my strong belief that this is no way to run a government.

This is the way to be sure that Saul Alinksy and those like him envision creating sort of revolutionary changes to our country, to our constitution, to our freedoms including the freedoms that are associated with securing the kind of health care that we want and need. But it is probably the case that unless elected representatives that are supposed to be accountable to you hear from you in the next few hours they may well make a vote that will be gravely harmful to your long-term interest, your well-being and that of those you love.

So I very strongly encourage you to check this out, find out whether this bill is in fact something you want your elected representative to vote for. And if it is not, if you don’t like the tax increases, if you don’t like the Medicare cuts, if you don’t like what it will mean to have more centralized government control of a sixth of the economy, let your representative know now, let them know this weekend because it will be too later perhaps if you wait, if you say oh no somebody else will call , somebody else will write.

I was listening to Bill Bennett’s show this morning; Senator Rick Santorum (a periodic guest here at Secure Freedom Radio and a regular substitute host for Bill Bennett on his show) made a very trenchant observation. When he was in the House of Representatives, the Clinton Administration was pushing this idea well we just need to create a little government competition when it comes to the private sector for school financial aid for higher education. And he thought it wasn’t a good idea at the time, but it was enacted with the strong support of the Administration on the grounds of oh well how bad can this be? We’ll have this public option introduced that will give the private sector competition and that will ensure that students and their families are well-served. Well, it didn’t exactly work out that way but he points out that today in the bill that is now before the House of Representatives they’re going to try to eliminate the private sector’s involvement in financial aid to students in favor of an exclusive government or if you will public option.

And Rick Santorum made the point quite trenchantly and it’s a point I want you to think about, the extent to which this is the proverbial camel’s nose under the tent ought to trouble you. Because even if there’s no public option at the moment, it’s clear that that’s coming; if it comes, it will not be confined to competition with the private sector, it will be ultimately as with financial aid, the only game in town and I for one think that’s not good government, and I think it’s not going to be good for health care and I don’t want to inflict that on my kids and I hope you won’t either. So please take this opportunity to let those who represent you, no to the health care de-form program that is now being prepared for ramming speed.

Finally, I just want to mention something else. I was listening last night to All Things Considered on National Public Radio and there was an amazing piece by a woman named Barbara Bradley Hagerty. I’ve known her for a long time, she’s a quite competent journalist and she did a long piece about how the Bible actually is even more violent than the Koran. And she went on for about seven minutes propounding this idea that Christianity and Judaism really are rooted in this violent text and it’s worse really than the Koran and those who impute to the Koran this violence and justification for Jihad and so on really don’t know what they’re talking about. She quoted this Muslim professor in South Carolina saying that the Koran does not promote terrorism. Folks, this is unadulterated rubbish, and we’re going to be talking more about this in the course of programs to come.

As you know from listening to Secure Freedom Radio, Shariah does support violence and it supports it against folks like us, infidels, unbelievers, for that matter apostates—Muslims who are not deemed to be Shariah compliant, all of the above; this is the problem. And I wanted to close by just playing a clip, the last sentence or two of Barbara Hagerty’s piece, and see if it doesn’t inflame you as it did me.

BARBARA BRADLEY HAGERTY: “In the end, the scholars can agree on one thing: The DNA of early Judaism, Christianity and Islam, code for a lot of violence. Whether they can evolve out of it is another thing altogether.”

Well I think anybody who suggests that Christianity and Judaism have not evolved out of violence is clueless, with all due respect to Barbara Hagerty; and it’s a grave disservice to the public to suggest otherwise, let alone that the violence that is coded in the Koran for the Shariah-adherent Muslim is not toxic and lethal to all of us.

Those are my thoughts, how bout yours? Post her or on the Frank Gaffney facebook or twitter accounts. Let me know what you think, would you?
